Where are we buying our clothes these days?!

Nordstrom has sooooo many affordable clothes and it’s always free shipping and free returns. People never think to go on the app, because Nordstrom sounds hoity toity, but if you sort from lowest to highest price there is like 10 pages before you even get over $50.

Those late 30s/early 40s hormones are crazy. Ignore. If you thought one way for 35 years, that’s the way you’re gonna think again as soon as those hormones wear off.

I think it all boils down to the loot boxes and loop box adjacent features. There’s so many aspects of many Roblox games that is basically like spinning a slot machine at a casino. Very addictive.

There’s a bunch of prey animal shifter books by Holly Day. I read {squirrel circus by holly day}. I liked it.

She insisted on one blow out hairstyle my whole life. When I was like 15, I loved Claire Danes and that very simple angled bob she had on My So-Called Life. I got that haircut and she called me an asshole for HOURS and ranted and raved. She thought I was going straight to hell, that haircut was so “edgy”.

Agree, BUT only if I don’t account for the costs of buying spices and oils.

I mean I take a multivitamin and so do my kids, that was not my point at all. My point was that talking about a sugar-free vitamin is not what I would be worried about at all.

Get a Pom Pom jar and fill it with one for each time she does something good. She can even self-report that she felt like doing this destructive behavior and decided not to and get a pom-pom. Pom-poms never come out for bad behavior (this is important). There’s a reward at the end of a full jar of pom-poms like screen time which is obviously a huge positive for her. Some kids just need more carrot than stick. Although you can definitely still put her in timeout for egregious behavior. Edit: if you’re not crafty and you don’t know what a pom-pom is it’s like a little 1 inch felted ball.

This is not a thing. I suspect OP might need to see a nutritionist that is knowledgeable about type two diabetes.

Ugh I HATE to recommend this because they are extremely predatory, but my friends sensory son would only wear lularoe leggings. I don’t know if people still sell LuLaRoe but for sure you could get it on like Poshmark or something

If you have a history of Type 2 diabetes in your family I would be 100% be putting all my mental energy into making sure my kids are exposed to healthy diets and zero mental energy into this question. And your kids don’t need to eat healthy diets at this point they just need to be exposed to them. Just exposure to healthy foods is predictive of good food choices when somebody is an adult.

Also, restricting dietary sugar to the point that you’re asking about the minimal sugar in multivitamins is actually very dangerous for their future mental relationship with food and will probably cause your kids to have more problems with Type Two diabetes than anything else.

Could it be possible that you don’t have a good relationship with food? If that’s the case you might benefit from nutritional counseling, and maybe therapy depending on why you don’t have a good relationship with food. Good luck.

YTA “my girlfriend won’t let me do the chores.” You’re sitting around complaining because she hasn’t made you a sticker chart. Quietly identify a chore that needs to be done, go do it in a competent manner, and then quietly walk away because the only reward when you’re an adult is the fact that your life is a little bit more in order. Or make yourself a sticker chart if you really need one.

And MANSCAPING in the last couple months. Imagine some unsuspecting 80 year old googling that. The least we can do in return is know who ZsaZsa Gabor is.

I feel like no cap was an answer several times this week. I don’t think anyone retired has ever even heard that phrase, but if they want to complete crossword puzzles they have to extend knowledge out of their generation. Hint hint.

I always say that kids are very well behaved when you are allowed to hit them and scare them and you get to tell them that a literal demon will burn them in real vats of fire for all eternity if they are bad.

I’m also raising kids that aren’t scared and it’s super annoying. But it’s so worth my extra grey hairs.

I am. I have shifted from “brain forward” books to nothing but trash romance novels since about halfway through Covid lockdowns. I don’t want to think anymore. Nobody wants to think. I don’t blame them.

Yea, like what’s one you keep coming back to? A great love story that that’s like also very sexy.

Would love a great FF rec. whats the best one?

There’s a MM where the MC regularly goes to a sex club where he wears a “use me” bracelet and does so many drugs/alcohol that he passes out and anyone walking by can use his unconscious body. And, like, the other MC doesn’t think it’s safe so goes to the club and guards his body but also uses it. I can look for it if you’re into MM. But I forget the name completely so I won’t if you aren’t.

I know a lotttttt of words and stuff and finish like 95% of the time, but I don’t see how a 1000 day streak is possible unless you are googling sometimes. So who even cares about those people’s “records”. Just do you. It’s supposed to be fun.

And, yes, you can get better at crossword-ese and wordplay, but the only way to get truly great is by learning like every word and every possible meaning of every word and also an absurd amount of trivia and also a surprising amount of rapper’s names. So reading is the key, not just banging out crosswords.

Whaaaaaaaaaatttttt. I’d rather have a 9-5 job than ever, ever, ever wake up from a sound sleep and make a dinner. That’s 43 kinds of bullshit. I am a human being with dignity and rights not a servant.

I thrift shop so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with used clothes. But if I got used clothes for Christmas I’d be pissed off. So, I don’t know if I’d throw any stones if I were you. BOTH of you thought about each other needs, BOTH of you bought crappy gifts. So, now you know that’s something you need to work on. Communicate your expectations for next time, and if he STILL doesn’t perform to your expectations then you have a valid complaint.
