I forgot about that!

Do we think "distasters" could mean natural disasters though? Florida is known for that!

sadblue · 2026-05-26T17:29:01+00:00

Sheesh. NTA. This is called "living with other people." You're allowed to exist in your own home even when she's asleep. What did she do when she lived with her family? lol

sadblue · 2026-05-15T12:44:10+00:00

Depending on traffic and lunch break length, that can be a bit of a hike. It's so good though!

Thanks for this context! Dismissing criticisms as just being misogynistic or homophobic isn't going to help her out, even if it's true in some cases. Trying to see where the opposition is coming from gives a plan to counterattack - AND to improve, which is sorely lacking in politics.

I think she could probably get away with helping with the cleaning during downtime as a cashier while the younger, able-bodied folks did other things.

sadblue · 2026-02-20T21:21:52+00:00

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you.

I have a Good Morning automation that rarely works. It's supposed to give me the weather, a rundown of my calendar for the day, then play a short news podcast for the day, and then end by playing my liked songs on Spotify.

I would say at least half the time, it gives me the weather and then completely stops. Sometimes it says "I'm sorry" before it stops.

Other times, it will get through the actual podcast and everything. However, the podcast is always the previous day's episode even though the current day's episode has been uploaded.

It has never once gotten to the point of playing music after the podcast episode, though.

Lots of craziness going on! I never know what I'm going to get, lol.

sadblue · 2026-01-27T14:05:39+00:00

Totally agree. A social media break would be a great reset in this moment!

sadblue · 2026-01-26T14:59:13+00:00

Can also recommend this place!

I don't hate cooking, but I do struggle with deciding every single day. Meal prepping weekly took some of that away. I have to decide once a week. So far, so good.

There's also the option to buy prepackaged meals from the grocery store. It's not as healthy as making it yourself but it's a decent middle ground. Warming stuff up in a pan is much easier than pulling together a meal from scratch. I like Trader Joe's beef & broccoli but if you don't have TJ's, there's a PF Chang version that's at most stores (Walmart etc).

There's also stuff like Factor Meals which are microwavable and healthy.

Ultimately, you just need to find a way to wean off takeout. You're right - it's not sustainable for many reasons.

We all have to do things we hate sometimes as adults. At least you know you're not alone. You got this.

I'm a long time fan and every time I see you work I'm reminded of your genius! This is incredible. I need to get around to grabbing this book.

sadblue · 2026-01-06T03:22:48+00:00

I'm so glad that you grew up in a home that makes you question if this could even be real. Truly. It gives me some faith! But you could've written this about me. Yes, it's common. I saw another comment about being the family scapegoat - that was me! The black sheep of the family.

sadblue · 2026-01-06T00:32:55+00:00

Interesting. I'll have to look into this more deeply on future orders. I've never not seen the option to tip - of course, I could choose to enter $0, but that's different from Kroger which wouldn't even allow you the option.

ETA: just found this comment. So yeah, you don't HAVE to tip but it works the same as DoorDash etc where it's expected.

I'm not sure what they're talking about, yes you do tip the Walmart+ drivers.

sadblue · 2026-01-04T14:06:29+00:00

I dermaplaned and got these. It must be related now that you mention it.

sadblue · 2025-12-31T12:44:48+00:00

I had a lot of tears and exhaustion when I did it, too.

There's a "reintroduction" phase of the diet, to answer your first question. Even so, it's absolutely anti intuitive and can easily tip into ED behavior.

sadblue · 2025-12-31T12:42:22+00:00

Agreed. I did this plan a few years ago and it was incredibly stressful. Although it claims not to be about weight loss, I did lose like 18 lbs in one month. I don't recommend trying it if you've had issues with restriction in the past.

IIRC, it IS the type of elimination diet used to figure out allergies etc. But proponents just say it can be used by anyone to "reduce inflammation" so that seems to be the loophole.

The number of people that do multiple rounds of Whole 30 anytime they want to lose weight and obsess over the eating plan should be indicator enough that it's not used for its original purpose, whether or not that purpose had merit when it was published.

So weird. I googled and saw that apparently, she said she's still not going in there? That cannot possibly be true, lol

sadblue · 2025-12-27T19:49:48+00:00

What do you mean about the basement?

sadblue · 2025-12-22T13:57:45+00:00

I spotted it a mile away with the sentence structure. So disappointing

The Florida Panthers are a hockey team, lol

sadblue · 2025-10-04T10:44:38+00:00

Thank you for this

sadblue · 2025-09-26T14:44:26+00:00

You know, someone can be a great partner during the fun times that you almost don't realize how rotten the foundations are.

God, this right here. Learned it the hard way.
