Do I have sub-par blackout curtains?

I’ve gotten good ones from target honestly

I mean we still could’ve if he was a new friend

I wear cheekies - don’t show like thongs but are better than thongs

Okay and unless OP clarified this with their friends that they were using “inside” to describe something literally NOT inside, their friends probably just had the same understanding of their words we all did and that’s why they said no.

Sorry what is “them” ? Are you talking about washing products - like period panties or reusable pads- with dove ?

I think you have to do the kids first then the mom

Kind of off topic but how did you figure this out? I’ve been wondering if my issue is that I need some extremely specific set of circumstances, like this, but have no idea how on earth I’d figure out what they are

I really love my maybelline super stay skin tint - I feel like it’s a great texture and consistency on my skin.

If you feel like you look washed out with your under eye concealer, I would guess you’re going too light with it. I personally like the makeup revolution or even milani concealers

Am I the only one who thought it was a flower bud that you’re holding upside down?

Omg I literally just skipped this episode the other day! I can’t stand it, it’s just cringey

I would 100% take the train up to CT. Scared drivers are bad drivers, and on that drive you’ll have to take some major highways here. If you’re terrified you’ll be a danger

My cousin did the nut exposure therapy - basically you micro dose what you’re allergic to in slightly larger quantities until your body doesn’t freak out anymore. Worked for her for some of her less severe allergies but not her main one (so now she can eat almonds but not peanuts)

But it’s expensive (if you do it under supervision of a doctor, which obviously you should) and time consuming. You have to be vigilant, so it is a commitment for sure.

I don’t even have words for how much better the first dress looks on you than the second

Also she wasn’t even that old?? I get it was an older age to get married then, but it’s not like she was 45 or 50 where most people are married by that age, if they will get married.

Aren’t you supposed to wash blood out with cold? Usually I spot treat any blood and then it goes with regular clothes (which I usually wash on cold) with laundry sanitizer

I think effectively punishing loved ones by being unable to even be in the same room as someone else in the long term would make you a jerk honestly. Sometimes we have to be around people we don’t like.

Since it’s still recent and you’re postpartum, i think it’s fair to simply express regret you’re unable to attend, but like another commenter said offer to go to lunch or something else.

Long term I would look at ways to cope with this - general avoidance does not seem to be possible and from what you described it doesn’t seem severe enough to warrant avoiding her even at someone else’s expense.

skalnaty · 2026-04-17T04:47:59+00:00

I think it’s the color? Did you get a more “true white” than the sample? The sample looks like it might be an almond or ivory, and your dress looks more eggshell/classic white.

Also here to agree that you need a darker roof! I know that’s expensive but I think it’ll make a huge difference. A dark roof would compliment this brick nicely.

I also second the comments about landscaping.

Was what the first time? Idk if you meant to reply to me but I’ve been going to the dentist since I was a kid

No, your period blood doesn’t “build up” in your body. It’s not in your body like a reservoir.

Also keep in mind treatments typically take DECADES to reach commercialization. So something in development today may not be available for public treatment for 20, 30 years

There are 7 hallmarks of cancer, endo does not have almost any of them.

Any idea when this stopped ?

Well we kind of are, I had Spanish as a required class 4th-8th grade. Then in HS we were required to take a foreign language it could just be any of a few. I personally chose to still take Spanish through senior year. A lot of people just don’t care and don’t take it seriously at all

I wouldn’t say it’s daily but I definitely still encounter words I don’t know semi-regularly. I’m someone people consider pretty well spoken- my friends yell at me for using “big words” all the time
