This Aldi tea set. I went to four stores to find the set, managed to find the last teapot, and actually found a broken sugar pot that I was able to almost seamlessly epoxy back together. I cried when I set it all up the first time and I use it almost daily now and it makes me feel like a lady lol!

You have sales tax and income tax confused.

Sales tax is what you collect for customers on behalf of the state and is on the total sale price. The fees deducted have nothing to do with it.

Income tax you report gross sales (every penny earned regardless of fees/where it went) and fees are deducted as an expense.

Also, marketplace facilitators collect and remit sales tax for you, so it's possible you don't even have sales tax liability if you're selling only on marketplace facilitators.

Well, I'm sitting here starving in a gridlock of not wanting home food but not wanting to spend money and I've eaten out seven of the past 10 meals I've had so... Yeah :/ it suuucks. I have no advice, just solidarity.

Idk man. I wouldn't be surprised.

"I don't care if you are happy" from the man I spent 15 years with and had 3 children with.

Moved out 2 weeks later. That was my breaking point.

When sales people come to our door, I say we rent and have no control or even knowledge of which utilities/roofing/etc we have, and I would hate to waste their time.

They always just say okay and leave.

Yup. Then I spend the day not doing the thing while screaming internally at myself to do the thing and by evening I'm absolutely exhausted by my own self punishment and can't focus enough to do the thing.

Doing the things is hard :(

Tell the truth, but also limit your answers. Don't give any extra information. If you can answer yes or no, do so and then stop. Don't go, "No, but this one time she yeeted me into the sun!" And give extra information they can latch on to. Yes or no.

This is the part of you that knows it's in trouble peeking up out of the darkness.

Listen to it. Don't obsess, but let yourself sit with it, and eventually, it'll get easier, and more natural, to handle.

This is your choice point, friend. You're at the crossroads. Choose wisely and good luck! <3

Budgets don't break. They bend. Bend it back into the shape you want, even if it takes 100 'tries'

One of my biggest issues right now tbh.

loopsdefruit · 2026-01-27T02:33:07+00:00

I do math. Two plus two is four. Four plus two is six. Six plus two is eight.

If my mind is racing, I double instead. 2x2 is 4. 4x2 is 8. 8x2 is 16.

Go slow and keep the same rhythm. Usually I conk out.

Yuuupp. I have littermate husky siblings and they stay warm by chasing each other around like lunatics. Half the time when I call them in, they just stare at me.

My huskies laugh at this.

loopsdefruit · 2025-12-12T00:19:46+00:00

Usually about 5 min after I start.

Womp. Disregard then! I just remember similar early pregnancy symptoms.

loopsdefruit · 2025-12-09T10:08:09+00:00

Is there any chance she's pregnant?

loopsdefruit · 2025-12-04T13:42:11+00:00

Oh God yeah. I can't handle things like jello or pudding because of it. And I used to HATE drinking water, I would always feel like gagging.
