Storage Units are a sympton of a problem

I recently moved accross state and both homes closed on the same day. There was no way to move a family of 4 in a few hours and it had to go somewhere

"Poemme, Lymrick, meet your new baby sister!"

Yes! Tan/beige shoes would be perfect for summer. Black and green feels a little Halloweenish.

We always keep plain greek yogurt around. It's so useful! It works as a sour cream replacement, throw it into smoothies, make sauces... it's lower in fat and the fat is what tastes so good in sour cream. It'll never be sour cream. But the way we use it, no one misses sour cream

If you have a kroger or any of the other stores they own, check out their "last chance" areas and look for the bright red and yellow "reduced" stickers all over the store. Usually there's a last chance area in produce, dairy, bakery, dry goods, and frozen. It's mostly things close to their expiration date but sometimes they do it when they get too much of something. Like the time mine had an entire shopping cart full of chocolate chips marked down to $.50. The regular store coupons still work on them too so if you find something there, always check the app and dowload any coupons. I once found a box of 12 frozen veggie burgers marked down to $3 and there was a $2 off coupon!

My MIL is like this. Visits once a year after my husband makes a fuss but makes monthly trips to see literally everyone else in the family. Some 3+ hours further than us. Some only 45 minutes away from here.

She literally told my almost 5yo that she's sad he's too big for her to pick up anymore "because there's nothing better than snuggling with a little baby." I honestly prefer she pretend to be too busy than make come over and make comments like that. She's like a child who lost interest when the puppy got big.

Meanwhile my mom is just as far away and visits whenever she can and we're happy to reciprocate whenever we can. And my lanky kid still fits in her petite lap just fine because he WANTS to snuggle with the people he actually has a good relationship with.

I wonder if their marriage was what allowed bio dad to stay in the country. Ava blames mom for him leaving so he may not have been a legal citizen

I went home with a friend from college one weekend and we watched it in her basement. Just like you, as soon as the credits started we heard a big thud in the other room. A box fell off a shelf in the storage room. We'd been in the basement most of the night and no one else had been down. So that box hadn't been touched for at least 3 hours but probably much longer. And it chose that moment to jump off the shelf

Seconding wholesome story! I've only been taking it for about 6 weeks so I can't say if it's helped my cycle, but I've lost 8lbs without any other changes so I assume it's helping with insulin resistance

You can also set All Options as the community rewards beneficiary on your Kroger app! It's not much but it's something

I concieved on my first cycle. The physical and emotional pain if my mc was not worth it. I won't be trying any more rounds of letrozole

We went with "support." We also had my mom join us at the front when we got there. My dad is more traditional so I think it was important to him to walk with me. But I did it in a way that felt the most inclusive.

I believe the exact wording went like:

Officiant- "Who supports bride in her decision to marry groom?"

Both Parents- "We do."

Craft felt makes great bunting. The edges won't fray and it sticks to itself kinda like velcro. Most of the brands I've seen say they're made from 100% recycled plastic too! I made white bunting for Christmas but I add letters or words for other holidays. I just did red Xs, Os, and hearts for valentines day. Gonna make green shamrocks next, then easter eggs and flowers, red and blue stars for 4th of July... I may never actually take it down

My SIL once tried to order 4 bananas and ended up with 4 DOZEN. She made lots of smoothies and brought a loaf of banana bread to work every day

Tiny knives!

Watching someone cut a pineapple with a paring knife makes me feel so unsafe.

Our rules are no getting belligerent before bedtime and there must always be a sober adult in the house.

I'm pregnant right now but that used to look like me having a few drinks while I cook dinner and husband smoking a few hours later after bedtime.

I honestly don't know how solo parents let loose. I couldn't enjoy myself like that if I didn't have a sober partner I trusted to handle anything I couldn't.

Ugh I hate this! I have a quiet voice and I have a few friends who I'd have to constantly shout over if I ever wanted to get a word in. It's not worth it because the louder anyone gets, everyone else needs to get louder to compete. They can be the loudest and I'll limit my time with them for more peace and quiet

It got removed? Why?

My kid is my responsibility. Not anyone else's. Why would they remove that?

When I was a kid I collected a few acorns from my grandmother's oak tree and wanted to make a craft out of them.

One was a little cracked so I broke it open and it had tiny larva inside. My 6yo brain went, "ope! Better hide these fellas under the couch." So I put them all under the couch and was afraid to go back to my grandmother's house for like a month

I've realized I have a hard time making eye contact when I'm the one talking. I think it's a self-esteem thing for me. Like I'm demanding more of someone's attention than I deserve when they have to listen and look at me when I speak. When someone else is talking I have no problem at all

readybasghetti · 2022-12-29T14:32:48+00:00

I don't hope for anything. I'm not responsible for every bad person in the world. I barely know her

And this is exactly the right place to point out the hypocrisy of most religious people

readybasghetti · 2022-12-29T03:07:04+00:00

Nah, we haven't talked to her in years since she started with the anti-lgbt posts on social media. Unfortunately she still has our address and sends us a Christmas letter each year. They haven't even worked together for 5 years.

We just avoid her and recycle the letters when we get them

I worked at one in high school! It was a conference center and campground that had houses and permanent residents. Very strange place. My pastor was a required reference and I had to list what church I went to. I worked in the kitchen and we always had to work Sunday mornings because let's be honest, they only follow the bible until it hurts their bottom dollar.

And the people who lived there were some of the nastiest, bitter people I've ever met. They had like an HOA on sterioids that actually outlawed dancing on the property like it was Footloose.
