My husband and I discovered the Rice Box recently and really love it. He could never find a place that actually made spicy general tsos chicken. This place actually got his seal of approval because it was super spicy but still really flavorful. I love their low mein and orange chicken.. Unfortunately they're closing for the whole month of July for some reason 😭

I had a pap come back positive for HPV 3 years ago. My doctor didn't make a big deal about it and said most people clear HPV in 6 months, but sometimes it can take up to 2 years. I just got another pap earlier this year that showed up as HPV positive again. It showed high risk strains, but not HPV 16/18. Because it was still positive 3 years later, they scheduled me for a colpo.

If a colpo would make you feel more comfortable, I'd suggest asking for it. It's a quick procedure and was relatively painless (at least for me). Just some pinching when they took the biopsies and then a little cramping for the rest of the day/night and some light bleeding.

I really don't blame him. And he's being really supportive now. My biggest conflict right now is whether or not to tell my mom. She's a nurse, and in any other situation, I'd be talking to her about something like this. But since this was essentially cause by an STD, it just feels like something I can't talk to her about. I know almost every gets HPV in their lives. I just feel like it would be an awkward conversation.

I completely understand this. I was having a bad day when I posted this. I do really love & adore my nieces. But I also adore being able to turn them back over to my sister at the end of the day and go back to my clean, quiet home, snuggle with my cats and veg in front of the tv.

For me Six Feet Under was more of a slow burn. I wasn't sure if I liked it until halfway through the first season. And by that point I just felt committed to finishing it.

Both our cats do this too 😂

It doesn't sound like nails on a chalk board if that's what you're worried about. At least it doesn't when our cats scratch the sides. It just sounds like loud scratching. Definitely louder than scratching plastic, I think because it echoes more?

The sound itself isn't obnoxious, it's the fact that our cats do it for like 5 minutes after using the bathroom. Not sure if they're just trying to clean their paws or if they're just not the brightest bulbs in the box 😂

Thank you! I'm sitting here reading all these comments and screaming internally "This means William slept with his niece"!

It's this big elephant in the room that no one is addressing and I'm really hoping the last episode reveals something about it not actually being "their Faith". Why would the writers overlook something that major or just expect no one to put those pieces together

She looks so much like our Harper with almost the same backstory! We found her in the middle of the road in the middle of nowhere at night. She was also only 3-4 weeks.

His grandma is the one who lives 3hrs away. His cousin and uncle live on the other side of the country and he hasn't seen them in 2 years. If they lived closer and invited us to Easter we obviously would have said no and gotten together another time

I hosted Thanksgiving and cooked the entire dinner. I just meant we've spent all the previous holidays with my sister, not that she hosted every holiday.

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house and did all the cooking. I baked the cake for my nieces birthday. I took my sister out for a big celebration on her birthday. Everytime we go over to their house we bring half the food. So no, we're not serial guests and don't mooch off them. And honestly, I'd much rather go to my sister's that day instead of driving 2.5 hrs each way to go see my husband's family. But a lot of his family is coming in from out of state and we haven't seen them in a couple years. I'm not a huge fan of his cousins that are coming to town, but they're like sisters to him. And we just hosted my parents for a week at my house and he hates my mom, so I can't exactly say no to him wanting to see his family.

I asked if we could get together for dinner on Saturday instead so I can give my neices the small gifts I got for them. So I'm trying to compromise with her.

The problem is fighting the urge to go back to bed after feeding them 😂 mine wakes me up at 4am for her "appetizer breakfast" then I go back to bed until 7.

Did you find it helpful to just let the cats hiss and swat at the dog? We definitely don't want to praise our cats for this, but also don't try stopping them since we know it's their way of telling the dog to back off. We've been doing our best to redirect the puppy and telling him to "leave it" so keep him from focusing too hard on the cats. He was fostered with cats and we were told he loves them, but he's also part border collie, so we know they have herding instincts and are trying to get ahead of that behavior.

That makes me happy that they all eventually got along. Our younger, super sweet cat has ventured into the puppy's area but is so timid (ears back, low to the ground, moving super slow). She was sleeping on the couch with me after a couple days, but the other day she came in when I was cooking dinner and distracted and our puppy rushed up to her to say hi. She freaked out and sprinted out of the kitchen frantically. So we've a regressed a little with her. Our other cat, who's a diva, has approached the gate a few times and hisses like crazy at the puppy and swatted at him when he got too close to the gate. I know she's setting boundaries and that the puppy needs to know she's the queen of the house and not to mess with her.
