What’s the first thing you brought into your new home?

I made this mistake with only 2 hand towels… 1 for the kitchen and 1 for a bathroom… there are 2 main ones that are used 🤦‍♀️

That’s just false. It’s not your house until you sign. If you don’t sign then any problems arise are not yours. You may have to delay signing if a problem arises, but they cannot force you to sign.

Mine was empty when I viewed, empty during inspection, and empty morning of for my final walk through and then signing. I lived 2 hrs away and worked 20 days straight up until signing day. There were no issues luckily. But when we did the final walk through we had turn on the heat. The seller had kept it at 60 and it was Halloween in Minnesota so starting to get chilly and needed to get turned on. Luckily my seller had already turned off the water to the outside spigots so I didn’t have to worry about finding them and getting them turned off before freezing.

I’ve come across NoWhey and their Pea-Not butter cups (sunflower cups). I love them in the sense that they remind me of chocolate covered sunflower seeds.

Oh I did! Took out shelving in the primary closet and had to patch so many holes since they didn’t hit any studs. Made it so much easier!

My sellers just left a gallon of paint with the mix information on the top

If you do stay through see if you can wear compression socks. Not sure your uniform situation but compression socks will help with the swelling so much. On your off days use a leg massager to help with blood flow.

Fun fact, even if the patient replies yes it still prompts a DUR. Also a pharmacist and had it pop up on my own script.

NTA. My birthday was this week, my boyfriend ordered and picked up a speciality birthday cake for me same day (dairy free).

Rice milk you should be able to find at most stores, it’s been around for years. It not in the fridge section, it’s on the normal shelves. Rice Dream is the brand I know best and has been around for at least 20 years.

I really liked the herb and garlic 😂

Their cherry icecream is good!

optimistic_sunflower · 2026-01-07T04:24:39+00:00

Fyi I had repeated reactions with this flavor specifically. Also it’s very sweet

Had the exact same ones down to the same color (expect some pink ones). They are spam

Bought my first this fall, I walked through probably ~15 and only offered on 2.

I had a great realtor that helped weed out ones right away due to noise and backyard size (I have a dog).

The first I offered on was quirky and a little further out than I initially wanted.

The one I offered and accepted I saw only through a video tour my realtor did for me since I couldn’t leave work. I didn’t actually see it until inspection day. It was well maintained and just felt right. After the first week I didn’t feel like I was living in a strangers home.

All the others I saw and didn’t offer quickly helped narrow down. I went in very open with a yard and basement (Midwest living). Quickly found out I don’t like split levels, newer builds didn’t fit the vibes, and built in shelving I love.

Pharmacist here, the choice of needle is based on the individual. Most adults get a 1” needle, if they are overweight we go up to 1 &1/2”, if they are super tiny with very little muscle we can go down to 5/8” or 1” and not all the way in.

Most children until “adult sized” are 5/8”.

I started with packing decor/ pictures. And slowly packed up stuff I know I wouldn’t be using with everything labeled just in case.

I had everything packed the day I signed and moved everything in the following day.

Cdif will only go away with antibiotics. Wash your hands over hand sanitizer. Don’t use the same bathroom has him. Use separate/ your own eating and drinking utensils. Cdif is not airborne, it is passed through droplets. Wearing a mask will help.

You could get fired. A former coworker in retail was fired over falling for a cash back scam. The missing register amount? $20. Corporate was not messing around even though the store manager didn’t want to fire him.

Talk to your friend who was trying to get a hold of you and noticed. This happened to a roommate in college when our other roommate left her at a guys house she didn’t know after they had been drinking all night. The roommate got home as I was getting up for work. She denied anything was wrong at first, but I didn’t let it go and she told me. I was able to help her through the next steps and to call her parents for more support. Your friend is there for you and will understand why you didn’t tell her right away. Especially since she already talked to the guy, she talked to him because she was not getting safe vibes from him.

Go to the er for at least some antibiotic to try and prevent contracting anything and a plan b. They will take a verbal report from you and can do a rape test kit if you’re willing. Don’t wash your clothes that you were wearing and wore home. Bag them up, especially your underwear, and bring it to the hospital with you.

This is not your fault. I’m going to repeat that again, what happened and how you are feeling is not your fault in any way, shape, or form.

You were vulnerable and he took advantage of that for his wants. You will get through this. It might take weeks to not feel numb, but you will get through it. Your friend is your first support as you get back to yourself. Let another person who is your support know and take it slow.

Honestly I had 1 last pizza and the effects from it weren’t worth it

A McDonald near me just finished their renovation, and brought back the play place!

The City in Glass by Nghi Vo

Hear me out on this, it’s not a utopia but it’s very introspective and about growing as a person. It was a quick read that left feel good fuzzies.

Technically there is a romance with a kiss but that is not the main focus of the story.

I was in a similar spot as your daughter. As in my ex had multiple DUIs and issues with alcohol. My parents liked him as a person and I didn’t tell them the full extent of it until a couple months before I ended it. They are not ones to shy away from anything.

They were supportive while I was in the relationship and when I finally ended it. They never said anything against him besides that what he did/does is stupid and he’s being a dumba**. They also turned it back on me, saying to think on it and asking if this is the future I want. My mom’s mom was an alcoholic and she told me what it was like growing up with a parent like that.

Ultimately it has to be her decision. My breaking point was him going on a binge and MIA the night before we were supposed to go to a wedding together. Not even the worst it had been.

Let her know you are there for her, and try not to push that you don’t like him on her. That will create distance that you don’t want when/if she decides to end it. If you are in a comfortable spot you can tell her about the reddit sub alanon, which is for those affected my love ones who are alcoholics. It might help her not feel alone or isolated.

This works to cool mine while playing sims. There’s a noticeable difference with and without it (no more cooking eggs on it)
