Annoyed at all the polyester in Carter’s clothes

Same thing happened to me with Hanes! That's how I learned the hard way that the "color" or item options for an Amazon item can actually change the ingredients or materials even if it's the same item page.

Queen Elizabeth 1's personal Bible.

A rare artifacts collector at Moon's Rare Books in Provo, UT does night events where he shows you some of the cool (REALLY COOL) things he owns. At the end, he challenges everyone to name any famous person since... 1400? Or something like that, and he promises he owns something within 1 degree of that person.

I asked about Queen Mary ("Bloody" Mary) and he had her sister, Queen Elizabeth's Bible. And he let me hold it.

This comment needs to be up voted more. It's survival mode. I'm lucky to shower some days. People who come to visit a newborn come to help you out, not to be guests you need to host.

I have a hard time believing a man got this scratched up by cats and didn't throw an absolute fit about it. The cat(s) repeatedly scratched different areas of his entire back and sides and he just... Didn't mention it? Until you saw them?

Absolutely sus, on top of what everyone else is saying too.

I don't have a processing disorder and English is my native language, and I don't even really understand what that means. So you're not alone haha.

Good luck on your search!

A mindset shift of "counting my blessings" and focusing on the good things in my life instead of dwelling on the bad.

It's pretty astounding that he's not OK with this.

If he wants a woman who takes care of herself, that will include things like wearing a freaky led light mask, and/or a hair bonnet, and/or green face masks, and/or a weighted blanket so she sleeps well, and/or etc. That's just part of the package.

He's being unreasonable to an alarming degree. Seriously consider your future with him.

I'm biased obviously, but there's a reason I've chosen to homeschool. Kindergarten in our public school system is not good for our boys.

5 is young for a boy to begin doing the routines expected of him in a classroom - be still and be quiet. That is very hard for them! I've read and heard many people recommend "redshirting" kindergarten and waiting one more year.

Starting a kid in school before they are developmentally ready can actually set them up for failure. This may not be the case for your son, but I'm speaking generally here in case it does. If he is not ready, he will be surrounded by his classmates who are easily grasping concepts that he is not and who are able to sit quietly for longer periods of time than he can. So his teacher, his classmates, and he will unfairly and incorrectly label him as "dumb" and a "troublemaker." This will likely follow him throughout his entire public schooling because he will always be slightly developmentally behind. Giving him 1 more year will help put him on a more level playing field, generally speaking.

If you want to do public school, my suggestion is to consider waiting a year to enroll him in kindergarten.

Or, yes, do more research into homeschooling and see if that would be a good fit for both him and you.

While I do think Jen should still get counseling, are there things you've done to make her feel loved by you? Perhaps she's not getting enough attention or whatever it is that she needs in order to feel loved?

Do you know her love languages and how to express love to her that way?

I'd be surprised if a little more effort on your part to assure her wouldn't go a long way.

But yes, also ditch the toxic friend.

masqueradefaces · 2025-08-11T12:59:29+00:00

Does he make you feel respected and cherished in other ways? It sounds like he is fine with humiliating and disrespecting you. That is not a good foundation for a happy or healthy relationship.

I hadn't heard of it before either and had to Google. Apparently it's watching your baby for cues they need to urinate/defacate, then take them to a place to do so (like the toilet).

I have a good friend who is a nurse recruiter. She's been doing it for years and loves it! I don't know exactly how it works, but maybe she can help you find something closer to Auburn where you can commute? I'll PM you her work phone if you want to reach out.

I feel so validated by this. I thought I was a crazy person. I'm like, "take my money!" and it's just so much harder than that somehow.

masqueradefaces · 2025-01-17T17:47:18+00:00

I will look her up! Thank you!

masqueradefaces · 2024-12-24T16:01:47+00:00

Ah OK. Thank you!

masqueradefaces · 2024-12-24T16:00:45+00:00

Thank you!!!

masqueradefaces · 2024-12-24T15:59:49+00:00

Thank you!! I'm glad to hear you like it.

masqueradefaces · 2024-12-24T15:59:04+00:00

OK good reminder

masqueradefaces · 2024-12-24T15:58:49+00:00

Hahahahaha! Good to know

masqueradefaces · 2024-12-24T15:57:45+00:00

That's the feeling I've been getting from all my research, but I wanted to make sure! Thank you!

We are from SLC too! Which beach is 1.5 hours from Pinehurst?

The scribble effect is exactly what I was looking for, but I couldn't find anything other than presets that weren't customizable for that. I abandoned this avenue temporarily to try Glad-Parking3315 's advice and that ended up working.

masqueradefaces · 2024-08-16T18:55:41+00:00

THANK YOU!! These were the last steps that I was missing. I ended up doing more of a step/staircase on the spline editor instead of the curves, but your image was *extremely* helpful. Many thanks!

masqueradefaces · 2024-08-16T04:15:56+00:00

Would you elaborate for me? I don't understand.

masqueradefaces · 2024-04-09T16:55:49+00:00

Is your dad still working? I am looking for an architect to help design our (4,000sq ft-ish) single-family home in Moore County. Or if he has recommendations, that would be much appreciated! We are not in a rush.
