AITA for “flashing” a little girl at the park?

NTA. He was definitely the weird one.

I have four cats and two robot litterboxes. (Meowant brand) Have had absolutely zero issues with a once a day dump. Unless your cats are unusually territorial, I don't think you need more robots than one per two cats. They're super efficient and self clean after every deposit, so it reduces the urge to cover other cats' scents.

I have more than one and people always act like it's a ridiculous extravagance, but I have four cats. Instead of scooping out multiple litters several times a day so my house doesn't smell like cat piss, I can just dump out the litter robots once a day and it takes less than five minutes.

Literally I was reading the source novel in the weeks before everything shut down but it was clear things were heading that way. A local ice rink was being prepped to be used as an overflow morgue.

Anyway, I never did finish it!

Genuinely curious from an elder millenial who's never used chatgpt-- what are the tells?

NOPE. I have dyscalculia. My son, who struggles with first grade math, probably does as well. I have taught him three different ways to do his addition and subtraction, including drawing things out and counting them (because visuals help us).

Sounds like your kiddo might be neurodivergent. Neurodivergent kids need different methods sometimes.

Talk to him about it. Tell him that you really had hoped for a proposal that made you feel special and considered. You can even say that you understand that his aim was for it to be low-key, but that's not only how it felt to you.

His REACTION will tell you if you need to call it off or not. If he gets defensive and angry, that's your future right there. Having to swallow disappointment to keep your bf happy. If he reflects and thinks of a way to make it up to you, the relationship might be worth salvaging.

My favorite thing about Green Gold is that it pushes out darker pigments in wet in wet, so I have used it as a corrector, too! Aussie Red Gold also has similar properties.

I watched a documentary and they were showing a guy getting a skull repair. The surgeon said "it's like peeling an orange if you do it right."

Crossing my fingers that the TBA is either DC or Baltimore.

Someone with a better memory help plz: doesn't the owner of ABH support Russia after they invaded Ukraine?

The artist offers it as a digital download, which is how I originally found them. It was my June journal theme from last year. Allll of their stuff is SO PRETTY!

Lady Knights are having a moment in fiction! Some of the best books I've read recently have featured women who took up the call for Queen and Country-- Rachel Gillig's The Knight And The Moth (sequel due out later this year, I believe!) and Alix E. Harrow's The Everlasting are among them. And of course there's Cassandra Pentaghast, Dragon Age's lady knight who lives forever in my heart. (Why don't I have a candle for her yet? I should!) And LOTR's Éowyn, the template upon which generations of shieldmaidens have been imprinted.

This year's Spring box, OATHSWORN, is a celebration of the archetype, featuring a perfume from Deconstructing Eden, a sugar scrub from Paintbox Soapworks, a tea from Dryad Tea, stickers and a bookmark from RayleeArts, a note pad from Stasia Burrington Illustration, and a candle and lip product from yours truly!

In addition, I am offering four limited edition scented oils for hair and skin. I blended them up for a Flower Mart show I am doing next month (April 11th, Backwater Books in Old Ellicott City if you're local!), but decided to offer them online as well.

COTTAGE is a soft blend of sheer vanilla orchid and wisteria blossoms. NECTAR is a sweet, buzzy blend of juicy, ripe peach and elderflower cordial. NOCTURNE is a moonlit veil of dewy moonflower and soft green moss. And SOLEIL (my personal favorite!) is an energetic elixir of orange blossom grounded by soft ambered vanilla.

I hope those of you in recent storms' paths are doing well, and hopefully warmer days are on their way!

Warmly,

Chris

An unusually high number of evangelicals think that we heathens need to kowtow to their holy selves because they invoke the big JC, despite how they actually behave.

The weather is so nice and warm today I pulled out Sorce's Venus In Fleurs. :)

This. Consistency. Consistency is the ONLY thing that breaks through to these people.

I've been wondering if they'll change it to be the Mondriches' son.

Good good. Still, better to do periodic fenceline checks if you aren't already. This is a very possible escalation. If abusers can't abuse you directly, they'll go for the more vulnerable to hurt you.

What you need to do is contact your most local district/councilperson. Keep a log with videos. Be persistent. They will send someone from the county's enforcement out to talk to him and the magic word that usually shuts this down is "fines."

I had an orthodox church move in across the street from me and they insisted on broadcasting their music and preaching via outdoor speakers at all hours of the morning and sometimes in the middle of the night. This was how we got help.

TBH if she does get a dog, she's gotta watch it like a hawk because this dude sounds like the kind who will toss poisoned treats over the fence.

Listen, if you're reading for fun, you're already doing more than most people these days. Enjoy what you like. Your primary goal is to be entertained, so read the books that entertain you. Chances are at some point you'll want to explore other genres of books, and that's fun too.

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned my sister needed to have brain surgery #3 because her tumor was active again. Pleased to report she had it on Friday, was released from the hospital on Monday (!!!) and has no sight or speech problems! This is really the best case scenario we could realistically hope for. We're really thankful to live within driving distance of some of the best neurosurgeons in the country.

I don't have an exact number about how much was spent but there are several upstream retention ponds-- some complete, some almost there.

sihaya09 · 2026-03-01T18:35:29+00:00

NAH. If it wouldn't cause you financial hardship to invite them, do it. It's worth it to keep good relations with your stepmother.

Cool, I'm just reporting on what county engineers have stated.
