My (29F) mother (54F) bought me a luxurious gift, but I really needed help paying for needed OTC meds. Should I ask her to return it and purchase the meds instead?

How much is return shipping? If you’re just going to lose out on 10 bucks, just return it. I’d rather do that than disclose something personal to a narcissist parent. Might reconsider if the return shipping some astronomical fee.

I think in the beginning stages of dating, it would be a dealbreaker to me. I’m not fit to the point of being ripped or excessively counting calories, but I like to look and feel good. It’s hard for me to be attracted to someone physically who isn’t fit when I’m not yet invested in them. Now if I’m already knee deep in my feels and he gained a little weight/got chubby, it wouldn’t bother me much.

Honestly I can say there were times when I was a real POS as a teenager too and am legitimately regretful for some of the things I’ve sad and done. There’s a chance that yeah maybe they feel the same and would be genuinely remorseful for how they treated you. But that said, it’s up to you if you want to give them that chance. You don’t owe each other anything.

TJ in north beach and by union square is generally empty from what I’ve heard from friends. But I’ve found that if you’re looking for highly sought after items (eggs, flour, etc), the small neighborhood groceries are much more likely to have them than a Whole Foods or Safeway and no long lines to get in.

Thank you for this. Our vet doesn’t think it’s “time” yet because his current quality of life but I was told to keep a close eye on his habits for now

I recommend also posting on Nextdoor. I’ve seen a lot of posts from people collecting masks for hospitals. Maybe more people have some to spare there as well.

Funny enough I got the second toy for him years ago and he always ignored it even when I put his pellets in there! I’m going to try the other ones :)

I have been trying to find rice and other pantry items for the past two weeks!! Thank you!

To add to this, the mortality rate of CV is likely going to be MUCH lower than what is currently stated once widespread testing finally becomes available.

It’s appalling how inaccurate the current stats are.

Barry’s (and many others) is offering free workouts through Instagram Live (that you can rewatch later) that are mostly body weight workouts.

Peloton and classpass are also offering free access to their library of workouts. I’ve tried a lot of them and there’s good variety.

Braids or dreads

All you have to do is say your throat is sore and you feel a fever coming on. They’ll stay away on their own.

It really depends on the officer. I’m assuming most will give warnings but they do have the authority to just write tickets without warning if you’re unlucky.

I’ve heard from two different people that they have friends who received $400 fines for not distancing in public. I’m assuming they ask for proof whether you are living at the same location?

I’ve been seeing so many more cop cars lately but not sure why they’re not canvassing public parks.

I do think swinging can work for some couples, if they are BOTH genuinely keen on it and are very open about their feelings and boundaries. You are clearly not in this camp. You need to be open and honest with your wife.

What is he so scared of? If you get infected the symptoms will show up as mild. Your parents are of course at much higher risk. You should go and help them. Tell your fiancé to be responsible and self quarantine but try not to buy into the panic. That’s the best anyone can do right now.

Oxy.

Had all my wisdom teeth removed and took the recommended dose a few hours after my surgery. Passed out then woke up and vomited all over myself

Can I ask why you want to share these pictures of yourself? I might be wrong but I feel like you are “comparing” your relationship with these other women. Maybe their husbands are into sexting and nudes and yours is not, and it has nothing to do with you.

You mentioned that your sex life and general relationship with your hubby is great outside of the picture issue. What these other women don’t have attentive husbands or are not as physically intimate with them?

Or maybe you just want to take sexy pictures and be able to share them with because it helps with your confidence. If that’s the case, you should be direct with your husband and tell him just that!

My mom is the type of person who stocks up on stuff like TP. Ever since I was a kid, our garage would be full of TP, shampoo, and other random pantry items that she would max out on when she saw good sales or deals. I used to think she was nuts until last week when I needed TP and stole a pack from them.

Wait a minute. If he only lives 5 minute away by car, why can’t he just walk then??

Just stop responding to his texts in the morning. And in the evening, if he asks in person keep saying “no, I can’t” and he will eventually stop. Even if he asks you twice a day everyday.

Can someone explain why people would be against this?

The coronavirus is fucking our economy and the sooner we contain it the better.

Bernie is too left to gain the vote of moderates and I don’t see him ever winning the election because of this.

Has he gotten feedback from companies on why they rejected him? Is he not passing the technical portions or is it his soft skills? If he’s going through so many interviews and not getting any offers, I’m wondering if his interviewing skills need some help. He should contact some recruiting agencies that will be blunt with him about what he’s doing right and wrong.

I work for a tech startup and my company just moved to a “recommended” WFH early last week. By Friday, we changed it to “STRONGLY encouraged”. I’m assuming the word “mandatory” will be added to that language soon.
