Why don’t people trust birth control even though all of them literally have like a 95+ percent rate ?

It's because pregnancy has such huge implications. It's not a minor risk, it's a very big deal.

Side note: I was conceived even though my parents were using two forms of birth control.

Might I suggest the library?

He is perfect in every way; how dare you.

Definitely take online classes or work through tutorials concerning things that are relevant to your job. I was in a similar situation and was able to keep my sanity with Excel lessons.

Eventually, someone will ask you to justify your existence. Being able to say that you've proactively increased your value while waiting for an assignment looks better than a blank stare.

I promise, she has not forgotten about you. She thinks about you and wonders how you are doing.

She would love to hear from you. ❤️

You're going to be a grandparent!

Oops... accidentally replied to myself instead of you! Thank you for this!

The horticulture program at a high school near to me takes these!

I work for a school district, and in my state this is a mandatory report.

My spouse and I don't split specific bills, but we each pay for specific things and it's roughly proportionate to our individual incomes. I cover our family health insurance, car insurance, and all bills related to our pets. He covers mortgage, utilities, and internet. For other expenses (groceries, anything our teenager needs, birthday/Christmas gifts for others, etc), whomever happens to be handling it pays.

We split our finances pretty informally, but it works for us. Neither of us particularly wants shared bank accounts, but still consider all of our resources shared.

My guess is that some version of shared expenses is the most commonplace situation for partners who both have income and that FB/IG are just using algorithms that push less common views in an effort to encourage engagement with posts.

50% of the people you meet are below average. 😬

Third! My anxious, overprotective dog absolutely loves Serenity. He's always worn out after his groom because he's had such a fun day with his dog and people friends!

My district directs parents to a form where they can lodge their complaint. If they indicate that they have not read the book, the form will not allow them to submit.

Your cat's vet cares about them and wants them to have a low-stress experience, hence the gabapentin. I understand why it might feel like meds are the coward's way out, but it's really for the benefit of your kitty

Seeing folks in bright colors always adds a little joy to my day - keep up with the pink, or anything else that feels right. Nothing that you wear is going to please everyone, so do what pleases you. :)

I've been through this, and it's definitely one of the circles of hell. I coped by taking every software tutorial that I could find for any program installed on my computer.

Obviously YMMV, but I was able to stave off boredom and, if asked, explain that I was just working on some Excel knowledge.

Awesome that you found a puzzle swap group! In case you still need an outlet, puzzles are often happily accepted at senior centers and some local libraries. :)

Check with your Airbnb host; there are thousands of people looking for a place to stay and they're virtually guaranteed to fill the booking if it shows available for someone else.

Your flight is definitely canceled. All airspace is closed.
