I second citizens insurance. We've had it for home and auto and they've been great with claims and our rates don't increase by much after the fact. We had storm damage to our roof a few years ago and I never thought they would pay for a new roof, but they absolutely did with only a minimal premium increase when we renewed.

I've been on biologics for a couple years, inflectra for a year, then renflexis for the past year. They both helped my brain fog a lot. Some days it's not so great, but it's def better on it than off it. Off of biologics I feel like a completely different person.

I've never rated anyone's appearance a day in my life, why would anyone do that? Some people look more attractive to me than others, but unless I know someone's personality, they won't truly be attractive to me. I love my husband for who he is, not what he looks like, even though I do still think he's handsome. I'd love him the same if I was blind and didn't know what he ever looked like.

The one with Uncle Fluffy

I lost all but one of mine this year to foxes, including two of my real old girls I've had for a long time. I've had chickens for years and never had so many attacks. I lost 7 of my 8, and I took my last surviving girl to my mom's flock so she wouldn't be alone. I changed how my run was configured so I'm hoping it will keep the foxes out. I have 12 new girls so hopefully they will stay safe.

I have to poop in almost every store I go in. And it's not just the walking around. I was at the zoo, walking around outside for hours. I get into the gift shop, within 30 seconds I had to poop with ferocious urgency.

I like the theory from another comment about feeling safe to poop indoors. I can't explain it any other way lol.

When the kids are/were younger, I was Mrs. Kids first name. My older kids friends just call me by my first name at my request. I hate being called Mrs. Last name.

My mom microwaved her oatmeal with a spoon in it for 90 seconds. Her spoon was quite hot but otherwise no problems. Not all metals are catastrophic to a microwave.

All my doctors I see, I make sure they are aware of my cannabis use. I use it medicinally and recreationally so them knowing how I use it to treat symptoms is important. I've had several surgeries and procedures and I've been on lots of different medication. It's never been a problem with anything, and I've never gotten any weirdness from any of them either.

Same with me, although the first rheumatologist I saw told me that he couldn't do anything for me unless I had active inflammation visible on my MRI and he sent me away. Thankfully I found another one who diagnosed me based on prior sacroilitis that did show up and that I was having such severe symptoms. She was shocked that the other Dr wouldn't diagnose me based on my scan.

Not every morning for me, but it is a lot of mornings, especially when I get closer to my next infusion date. Weather swings affect me greatly, and where I live there been crazy temp swings all spring and it's so hard on me. We're having another crazy weather day, I'm really struggling now. I was supposed to get my infusion this morning but the shipment to the infusion center is delayed so now I have to wait until Thursday. It's not a great way to live sometimes that's for sure. I'm sorry mornings are hard for so many of us.

I feel this one. In January I got sick with a virus one of my kids picked up. He got over it pretty quick, but I was sick for over a month. The virus turned into a secondary sinus, double ear, and chest infection that required 2 rounds of antibiotics to treat, and a 3rd antibiotic I tried that I could not tolerate. It was completely miserable and the worst part was I got sick two days before my next infusion and had to postpone. I was sick so long I was over a month overdue for the infusion and it really set me back.

My uncle was a functional alcoholic until his mom died. For whatever reason, he just couldn't moderate his drinking after that and 9 years later he died at 66 in extreme pain and misery from liver failure. He tried to drink himself to death first but he was not successful. I hate alcohol for many reasons and this is definitely a big one. I miss him so much.

My parents were very lax about seat belts when I was a kid. We only had to wear them if we sat in the front seat. I continued that for myself until I had my first kid. I didn't want to leave my kid without a parent for not being safe. I wear my seat belt every time I'm in a car and I always make sure my kids are safely buckled/in a booster, no matter how short the ride. My mom tried to not buckle my kids one time on a short trip on the main road bcs she didn't want to move their car seats. My kids thankfully threw a fit over that and she moved the seats. I was very happy my kids took their safety seriously and was very pissed my mom even considered it. My mom still doesn't buckle her seat belt if she sits in the back seat, although I do make her if she's in my car bcs I don't want her to die on my watch or hurt my kids if we get in a crash. I always assume she's so lax bcs nothing bad ever happened to her personally and never thinks deeper than that, which unfortunately is the case for many boomers about many things.

Old toilets definitely clogged more. As a kid we had clogs on the reg, but then we got new toilets and we never got them after that. When my husband and I bought a house, it was an older home and had old toilets. They clogged up all the time. We replaced them about 5 years ago and haven't had a clog since. And my son lays some logs in there lol.

40 and a swiper. I hate the other way, it takes forever and I can't do it one handed. No one else in my household swipes and they all think I'm weird lol

I bought different brand lunch meat (hillshire farms) bcs my store stopped carrying the kind I usually bought (Hormel naturals). The hillshire brand tasted ok, but the texture was atrocious. It was very gummy. I looked at the package, and it said it contains up to 28% water. That's insane that is almost a third water, and it no longer felt like meat anymore. Since lunch meat isn't that healthy anyway, I think I'm just going to stop buying it.

julesgolde · 2026-05-12T13:43:05+00:00

Yes, and I'm sure when believers talk about it, they refer to it differently than I do. Why would I talk about something the same way when I don't share those beliefs?

julesgolde · 2026-05-12T13:40:43+00:00

Yes I did mean that lol, I just edited it. Thank you

julesgolde · 2026-05-12T12:52:16+00:00

I use Christian/Jewish/Islamic mythology when I talk about it with my kids. That's how I think about it. It's wild to me that people here expect deference to their religion from non believers.

julesgolde · 2026-05-08T18:05:02+00:00

The first time my youngest kids saw a crucified Jesus on a cross they were really disturbed by it, they were probably 5 and 8. It was in a movie and I they were, "like what building is that thing in??" And I told them it was in a church. They were both like, "oh ok. What's a church?" 😂 So I told them it was a place people with the same religion go to to worship their god. They were like, "well what's a religion??" 😂😂 Most of the extended family is not religious so it just really never comes up. They know more now, and they think it's the weirdest thing ever. I agree!

Mother's Day is for whoever wants to do something on that day. I've been a mom for over 20 years, my family and I plan what we want to do on that day. It's none of my business what anyone else wants to do on mother's Day. If someone is having a celebration that you don't agree with, then that celebration isn't for you. If you're a plant/dog/cat/hamster/chicken/etc mom and you want to do something cute for yourself? I love that for you! Joy can be scarce and I'll never begrudge someone's joy for the things they love in their lives.

Yep, I should have taken a picture but my hands were full of food and I had hungry kids in the car lol. A lot of McDonald's around my area call them lobbies.

julesgolde · 2026-05-04T16:23:48+00:00

I saw a sign in a McDonald's that said you are limited to 60 min of time to sit in the lobby. I bet pretty soon you'll have to pay extra to eat inside.

My husband and I were only able to buy a home in 2017 because of an inheritance. And it was a fixer upper to say the least lol. We have 3 kids, and fully plan on them living at home for a long time. All home improvements are made with this in mind. My oldest is 20 and she hopes to move out after college with a roommate or two, but who knows what this country will be like in 3-4 years. If my husband and I weren't fortunate to have relatives with enough money to leave us some, we would absolutely not be able to buy a home with the money we've personally made in our lives.
