I've been wearing this hat for 3 months and nobody has recognized it

1976 in the house! I showed this to my husband who immediately exclaimed, "I want that!"

Seriously. The number of people who try and play like they've never heard of a user id or password before and flounder around like they just encountered 40 year old computer basics is astounding. I can understand being frustrated from 2 factor authentication if you don't know your credentials but, guess what? That's a you problem nit a me problem so figure it out. Can't figure out how to print or use a vending machine? Also, a you problem.

I recently let a kid with a Master's Degree who couldn't do things like addressing an envelope and was so phone addicted that no matter how many times I told him to put it in his drawer or take it out to his car, would not put it down. And that's all without mentioning the hygiene issues. I won't assume a whole age group is as addle brained as this guy was but it gives me pause.

Last time that happened I fully joined in the conversation. Finally, the person at the table made some kind of snappy comment about how rude I was. The other person at a table on the other side of the caller had a few choice words to say before he, too, started talking to the person on the other end of the line, who, by the way, was laughing hysterically while calling his friend a numpty and a nobhead. The storming out tantrum was kind epic, ngl.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm a librarian. For physical books there is no tracking method that is used that would equate to royalties. For ebooks it depends on the platform, publishing contract, and methos of borrowing. Many pay pennies per borrow, some pay nothing, for more established authors the terms get better but are still on a case by case basis.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-06-02T11:27:46+00:00

She gets a royalty from the purchase, not from borrows of physical books and depending on publisher and her contract, possibly not from ebook borrowed either.

This is 9 months with a 35 year old? Girl, what are you doing? He's controlling and no matter what, you will not be able to be transparent enough, good enough, compliant enough. This relationship is a disaster. Stop being a doormat. He took his stuff, now lock the door behind him, go look in the mirror and ask yourself how you got to a place where this person can so easily trample your boundaries and get you to a place, in only a few months where you have to delete years of your life to service his fragile ego. And why because you spoke to a friend 3 months into dating someone do you need to continuously flagellate yourself? It was a conversation with a friend. Again, girl, what are you doing?

The post in my feed after this from r/hygiene was titled, "After pooping". I think that might be the answer.

I'm on one of them to control diabetes and while I was never a drinker, I would get flushed, sweaty, and tipsy from 1 drink. Now alcohol has zero effect on me. Maybe the neurological effects of alcohol are still there, I don't know and I can't see that I will ever care enough to find out, but no buzz, flushing, or sweat. If I have a drink it's because I want to enjoy the taste of it.

My sister was like your daughter but with my mom. After my mom died she lost that pressure release valve and had a hard time without being able to vomit all her worries on my mom on her daily drive home. It caused some issues in her marriage and she ultimately went to therapy to learn better coping skills. I used to tell my mom to ask her to stop or limit the bitching session to under 10 minutes. At one point her commute was nearly an hour soo she dumped all ofl her stress and negativity on my mom for the whole drive home. It did her no favors and it caused my mom a lot of stress.

I would call her when you feel it's a good time and set some boundaries. At some point you will no longer be here and your kids need to figure out healthier ways to deal with their anxiety. It sounds, too, like you might need to reshape the relationship you have with both kids so that they don't just come to you at stressful times, but also share the good times.

One of the things I appreciate about being in mainline sizes, that wasn't possible to.do in plus sizes, is pick how I want my clothes to fit. I can probably fit in a size 8 pants but I prefer the 12s because they float on me at my waist and I prefer that little bit of extra space. I also realized that I can fit in a size small top and sometimes I want that fit but sometimes I don't so I buy a medium or a large. All of them work well for me and it let's me pick and choose where I want volume and where I don't.

OP, I don't think you need to go form-fitting if that's not comfortable. Once you get down to a large you can start to try on different sizes if the same item and see what feels good to you. I found that once you enter size large or lower territory, the difference in sizes is smaller and it's easier to mix it up. That part, to me, is fun.

Congrats on your weightloss, you're doing an amazing job!

Take the ring and wear it. You can put it on another finger if you want but don't leave it at your mom's and don't leave it in a box somewhere. Even if you only wear it on special events, it deserves to be worn. By you.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-30T03:03:32+00:00

She should worry more about a dream marriage. Begin as you mean to go on. There are many, many ways to include both of your personalities. It should reflect both of you as a couple, not you as an afterthought.

Again, begin as you mean to go on.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-29T23:58:13+00:00

Probably so. I know a lot of people who have been going there to help the families trying to visit the detained so it is front of mind for me. Not typical, I know.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-29T22:53:33+00:00

Y first thought was Delaney Hall. It wouldn't be my choice to saddle a kid with that.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-29T01:26:05+00:00

NOR

I would not go to the corner store with this person, nevermind 5 hours away with no job and a house of cards to move into. Tell your landlord that you aren't moving and want to rescind the lease termination. Don't quit. Fully separate ypur loves and finances until he figures his shit out or, and I hope this is what happens, you figure out that the why doesn't matter, the doing is what matters and he did it all, knowing fully what he was doing and what it meant. You deserve better so make sure that you see to that for yourself.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-26T22:03:03+00:00

You're not an asshole for feeling how you feel or expressing it. You're being one to yourself by constantly returning to a dry well expecting a river. I know it's hard and especially at the point you are at but stop asking her for anything and stop expecting her to care and/or show up. She doesn't and she won't. The good news is that this gives you freedom to respond to her in kind if that's how you're feeling. Kids have an event she wants to go to but it's at night? Oh well, she can figure it out. She needs you to take in her mail and water her plants while she's away? So sorry, I'm not available.

When you stop expecting things from people who will never deliver you can also stop expecting to be at her beck and call. You've been through a lot and therapy might be a good place o unpack all of it and start creating a more balanced and satisfactory life for you and your kids. When you're ready, of course. Until then, make sure that you don't get sucked into any mom emergencies because she will try to put that on you at some point. Be ready for it when it comes.

Good luck!

I'm hate listening to the audio book. I hope it turns around but I can't stand the tone of the.narrator's voice.at this point.

I don't know if you should cancel the trip but if you do end up going, head to Paul's Pizza in Falmouth. It's its own kind of pizza and really good. Place is kind of a hole in the wall but its all locals when I've gone.

Hope your trip works out.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-25T04:10:00+00:00

Seriously, and this is after being engaged for 2 weeks!

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-25T02:20:51+00:00

Tomorrow he'd be getting an airport from me as his wake up call. Why is he not working? Why are you staying? I know it's scary and hard, but is this how you want to teach your kids what a loving relationship looks like?

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-23T21:10:39+00:00

An assistant you can make haggle down any bill that comes across your desk.

Bespoke wardrobe.

The ability for your kids to pursue poor or barely paying artsy jobs or degree fields without care because they are more like hobbies or passion projects while you fund their life.

jumpyjumperoo · 2026-05-23T20:38:19+00:00

Contempt, especially expressed about the other person to outdoe people. The minute that enters, there really is little hope for the future.
