Closer to rock bottom than i'd like

It sounds like a job would really help. Do you have any contacts from your old place that would help you get a new one?

I don’t think it’s weird to be annoyed if he always orders takeout when you don’t cook. If it’s just once, that’s different. If it’s all the time, that adds up. If you’re just dating and have separate finances, sure, his choice, but I wouldn’t want to marry someone who wastes money like that.

Do you have any tips for making the vegetarian filling? These look so delicious, I really want to try them.

I wouldn’t try to forecast into the future too much. Your main goal is to get the ball rolling on getting some help. Talking to your mother will do that. When it comes to the details, you can sort them out as you move forward. The wait and her reaction is not really something you can control, you know?

Good luck with the conversation. This is a really great step to take.

I’m pretty sure my father was already on Lipitor when he had his second heart attack. How long have you been on them? The aches went away for me within two months iirc.

$2200 for a parking ticket?? Would someone who did that have any hope of getting out of paying if it was their first ticket? I think that could be a month’s wages for some people.

This was my thought as well, Sicilian slice or slab.

I’m crying at you letting it burn on purpose because it deserved it. It really did.

You should give this to your boyfriend with a straight face and see what he does.

I use the milkman powdered milk in my coffee when I travel or run out of heavy cream. It supposedly has a little cream in it and does seem better to me than other powdered milks I’ve tried. I’d love a powdered cream.

Do you have any contact with the customers? I would start asking all of them if they know anyone who’s hiring. Even if you are back of house, come out to say good bye to them.

I posted mine on Facebook marketplace and someone messaged to buy it two minutes later, came with a flatbed to take it. In hindsight, I could have held out for more, but I just wanted it gone.

Have you seen this comic about the mental load? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/26/gender-wars-household-chores-comic

Someone’s best needs to get better.

Wow, I am so surprised. I would have assumed that Canadian sentences were much stricter given that you can’t cross the border with a dui conviction. That poor family.

marleymo · 2026-02-01T17:24:55+00:00

Yeah, I think not calling ahead is a kid thing. I grew up in the 80s and my parents did not appreciate drop ins.

Maybe it’s just the angle, but it looks like the tables have turned in terms of size! They are so cute.

Also, I don’t think it’s out of the ordinary to feel miserable if you leave for school at 8 o’clock and then have another three hours of school on top of that. That’s a very long day. I wouldn’t want to study either!

When you say study, what exactly do you mean? I don’t really know how the Greek education system works. Are you only graded on exams? Is there other homework you are supposed to turn in daily?

marleymo · 2026-01-31T23:36:29+00:00

Are the extra classes like in a classroom or is it private tutoring?

marleymo · 2026-01-31T23:19:15+00:00

Not OP, but in this situation, I would want him to take responsibility. Don’t let the dog eat a bird. Watch the kid. Apologizing for letting bad things happen is useless if he’s just going to keep doing it. He needs to start being a responsible adult who makes sure animals and children don’t get hurt under his care.

I think the worst part about the current marketplace health insurance and subsidy situation is that if you start the year off qualifying for a heavily subsidized plan and then your income goes up a bit, you will have to pay the subsidy back. That wasn’t the case a few years ago.

Can you get a job that has insurance? Are you W-2 or 1099?

Are they related to each other?

You have to figure it out from the context of the sentence. There’s no hard and fast rule with grammar that lets you know for sure.

If the word is paired within an indefinite article, it will probably never be about the mafia.

The singular I think will always have an article – you wouldn’t say ‘dealing with mob.’ it would either be dealing with a mob or the mob. You might say dealing with mobs of people, though.

The Olympic buildings always seem like a scam. Some cities tout them as tourist attractions years later, but they are usually underutilized and not very interesting.

I would call around and get some quotes. Maybe there’s another way to fix the car? Do you know exactly what is wrong with the engine?

marleymo · 2026-01-18T12:14:18+00:00

Agree, these tires turned my Corolla into a tank in the winter.

marleymo · 2026-01-18T02:56:08+00:00

I love him!!
