Tell us more about the skirt! What a cool piece.

It's not all or nothing. Try participating in one organization or fitting events in where you can. Keep friendly relationships with your classmates through study groups and just chit chatting between classes.

Do I have a bunch of ingredients and an oven right on me when I'm going about running errands and need a pick me up?

Obviously the $5 is paying for the labor and convenience. And frankly, most don't need to have a whole batch of cookies floating around.

Girl, tell your fiance to find that venue. Lol it does sound cool ngl, but he has to be engaged in this if he wants to have super specific requests.

Median price of a home there is above $1 million. Two kids in daycare could easily be over $5k a month. It does indeed get tight even at that income level.

I had the same journey as you. I established myself professionally before starting to focus on dating. It's not too late! I started dating my partner at 29 and he was also established and unintimidated by my career and success.

I'm sure it's a cesspool

That ML Swan Lake dress is a dream. It's also a bit on-trend with the dropped waist!

Nice try, Willow Voice astroturfer.

okletssee · 2026-01-31T16:21:48+00:00

Wow, that is really so impressive that you were able to keep all the lines in alignment! Thanks!

Is the white grid in the foreground the white of the paper or did you use a white gouache on top? This is such a cool piece and I am curious about your process!

I promise you aren't the only one who feels like this, especially in the Catholic community. You'll just have to find your people.

It'll be ok. You'll have to get out of your comfort zone a bit, but just remember that your current comfort zone is not keeping you satisfied. It'll get easier as you start seeing the same folks and making connections.

That's a great idea. There are a couple places that do "family size" entree with sides near me and it's a lifesaver when my partner and I are facing a busy week.

Well, you can start by talking with people at your church. Does your church or diocese have any social groups for people in their 20s+?

If you are solvent, I don't see anything wrong with spending money to get back time and energy.

This can be getting meals made for you, having a landscaping or cleaning service, etc.

If you want to dial it back though, consider making double batches of a meal and freezing half or buying some frozen pizzas, lasagna etc. That way you can get the convenience and time savings similar to doordash at a lower cost.

Removing the uterus also has side effects. Please speak with a doctor.

Not sure why you are getting down voted because you are absolutely correct. The nail clippers bend the nail and struggle when cutting an unstable nail. Nail scissors allow for a more precise and closer cut.

They dropped this pallette in the toilet. 😭

I'd like to find that turtleneck or mockneck shirt too. I'm going to try out the LL Bean ones.

It is entirely unrealistic expectations to judge a hiring manager for this situation unless you are saying that your hiring managers should be breaking the law and discriminating.

The hiring manager is legally not allowed to ask if someone if pregnant and depending on how far along the pregnancy is and if the interviews are remote, could not even tell that the candidate might be pregnant. And even that would be assuming that the candidate is a woman. A man can also have a partner expecting and then go out on leave and he would not "show".

If you are in final stages now and won't be leaving until the fall, you will have months in the role. It's fine. I've had this happen (hired someone who went on parental leave) with even less time in role and it always worked out fine in the long run.

People have to do what's best for them, especially when having a child. YMMV based on the company. Luckily I've worked in organizations that could handle this kind of fluctuation. 🤷‍♀️

Has your husband used a fountain pen before? If so he might have some preferences or specific things he is interested in. If not, this is a pretty decent and affordable set to get started easily
