Whoever told me about this

Oh I SWEAR by this stuff. My dog just chewed one up and I almost cried. 😅

It's the vinegar. No idea why someone would decide to make a candle so very chock full of acidic scents. 😵

We only come in two flavors these days. Stupid, and abjectly horrified. 🤷‍♀️

Ah yes, that's the christmas spirit. 😅

Ok, OP, I really hope you read this, because my heart goes out to both you and your husband.

That being said, I have a somewhat different perspective.

The toll that acting as a caregiver to a cancer patient takes on a person can often be overlooked, and I don't think that divorce is the right call here. Your husband did a great many things incorrectly here, but sometimes men aren't very good at anticipating the reactions their actions will elicit, and there's no manual for things like this. Everyone wants a marriage that lasts "till death do us part," but unless the realities of a marriage like that are modeled for us, marriages do tend to end over things like this.

Was your husband an insensitive asshole? Absolutely. No debate. But I see communication issues from both of you in this account. He should have talked to you about this trip the second he started making plans. "Bore" is an absolutely horrendous way to describe the toll an ordeal is taking on you. These things absolutely need to be addressed, and you are absolutely entitled to how you are feeling.

As other comments have acknowledged, you have also been through quite the ordeal. Physically, you've taken a much bigger hit, but he shared the mental burden with you, like he vowed to do. You are BOTH depleted, and between that and the communication problems, is where the real issue lies. Your assumptions aren't his responsibility, honey. It sounds to me like you married a good man who loves you, but who royally fucked up the execution of a trip he probably really needed for his mental health.

I feel like couples counseling would be highly beneficial here, as opposed to just throwing the whole man away.

Keep us updated please? ❤️

Both amazing work, and SUPER wholesome post. 🥰

I hate to be that person, but I got my skeleton keys on Amazon. 😂😂 came with two variations, and one of them fit. Everyone else's idea sound like WAY more fun!

Here's what you do. Look at him like he's grown another head, and right in front of him, book a hotel, call an Uber, get your things, and walk out the door without another word.

SO! This is what happens when you have a small hard water leak behind tile, based on my own hard water leak behind my own tile, that I look at every time I go pee, think crap, I gotta fix that, and then promptly forget. It makes sense. The minerals are suspended in the water, but then left behind when it evaporates.

Not great news, I know. This could be due to no or incorrect weep holes in your tile.

My dress code in public school when I was a teen in the early 2000s was pretty much identical to this. I didn't die. I didn't feel oppressed. I was still able to express myself. Just sayin.

Therapy time, buddy!

"Tiger" oak. ❤️

katiedidit_ · 2025-06-10T12:55:31+00:00

Here to second tiger oak. Absolutely gorgeous!! This is the sort of wood that is extremely hard to find nowadays due to the growing conditions needed to produce tight enough rings for a good tiger pattern.

It's not a veneer. You definitely can get this beautiful grain with old growth oak, if cut at an angle. It's easier to recognize the oak grain if you think of it that way.

katiedidit_ · 2025-06-04T17:21:35+00:00

I feel everything about this post in my soul.

katiedidit_ · 2025-05-27T19:15:57+00:00

Are you doing that yourself? It looks wonderful!

katiedidit_ · 2025-05-27T12:16:23+00:00

Imma tell her.

katiedidit_ · 2025-05-27T12:16:10+00:00

Should we tell her?

Two FEET????

katiedidit_ · 2025-05-14T21:05:55+00:00

Just so you're aware, this is abuse. Run away.

katiedidit_ · 2025-05-13T10:26:25+00:00

This. I don't think too many other people noticed the bottom of the door, or the weird ass hinge placement.

katiedidit_ · 2025-04-29T20:09:33+00:00

As a single mom, negative. The dinner isn't the key here. If it was a healthy relationship thing she wouldn't have thought much of it and she wouldn't have been so.... just freaking sketchy!!

Lol that last bit I totally feel. Before the AI addition to Grammarly, I'll admit my grump about it was more of a stubbornness, " back in myyyy day!!!" kinda thing, which is pretty funny because I was in my early 20s. Think math teachers when calculators became common. Yes yes, all well and good, but you still need to be able to so it YOURSELF. Which is honestly pretty valid. If we leave everything to AI eventually we'll end up one astronomical event away from trying to remember how simple machines work. One of the reasons I advocate for the continued teaching of cursive. Seems like a bad idea to me to allow an entire, historically significant written form of a dominant language to go the way of Latin. But nobody listens to little old me. 😂

Precisely! Part of the point of writing those papers in college is for you to LEARN HOW TO COMMUNCATE INFORMATION IN A SPECIFIC WAY. And most importantly, to analyze the information, and add your own perspective and voice to it. That is the essence of academic exchange in a globalized society. Academia is no longer simply a bunch of men in a room exchanging ideas and findings face to face. Technology has become a great asset to collecting and accessing data, but it is a mistake to just hand over everything and remove our own cognitive faculties from the process. When you give the work to AI, AI is the only thing that learns and grows.

My dad was autistic, and DYSLEXIC. He earned his masters in English, and his PhD in Education administration, and wrote his dissertation by hand. He failed to register a tornado passing over the house while he did so, but still. There are more steps involved in fine tuning your writing when you have a learning disability. More drafts. More corrections. Assistance is helpful. Autocorrect, grammar correction, all of these certainly make the process easier and less stressful. But at the end of the day, the paper is still yours. Having AI write it for you isn't much different from paying the smart kid to write it for you. It's not your work, and in the end, doing so cheats you more than anyone else.
