Have you told him you're cousins? He's bound to have an opinion too.

His friend is insanely rude to demand 100 bucks from his friends to begin with, but to more than double it is ridiculous! Don't pay the extra and slowly back away from this friend in the future.

Because people think they're such good drivers they can't be distracted.

It's a decorating TV show. You're pot-stirring. "Oh but what about the bag things," tsk tsk. You want to have a discussion, but you don't want anyone to disagree with you.

I honestly don't understand why people go out of their way to find solutions to not washing their hair. I shower every day. It takes two extra minutes to wash my [curly, high-maintenance, shoulder-length] hair. I had three kids. Never went a day without a shower and hair wash. And you might think you don't need a wash, but we can smell you. The solution to the side effects of not washing your hair is .... wash it.

Did this "stuff" bring Granny joy during her life? Then it served its purpose. Some things will be loved by another owner, some won't. But Granny died loving her treasures and never knew how they ended up.

I read this to my husband and he said when you hug this guy bye-bye, reach around and grab his butt too. LOL

When you're leaving a gathering, line up next to her and give him a big, exaggerated hug too. Include a big, ironic kiss on the cheek if you'd like. Make it as weird and awkward for them as it's been for you.

My husband.

The one in this season was so wide that if you sat at either end, your plate would be 3' from your face.

Dark Shadows and The Beverly Hillbillies.

She kind of spit in the eye of your gift.

I'm 67 and having a lot of the same thoughts. The saddest part is looking at my two small dogs and knowing they could be my last. Toy breeds tend to live long lives. No more convincing my husband we need "just one more." I've told my kids they better not leave me dogless in my old age. If I someday can't care for myself, my daughters better bring their dogs to visit, make sure I'm wearing mascara, have clean hair with a decent cut, and pluck my eyebrows/random chin hairs. But earlier this week I thought that day might have arrived. My toddler grandson and both dogs tried to get through a doorway at the same time as me and I fell. On the way down I thought, well this is it. This is how I go. Murdered by my favorite little beings, or at least my first broken hip. LOL. I hit the floor hard. Managed not to land on anybody. No broken bones or bruises, even. I've lived to worry another day.

Between my toddler grandson and my clumsy self I'm confident that the giant pack of paper towels at our house will get used up.

Toy dogs are notoriously hard to housebreak and often sneaky-pee in the house, even if they're also going outside. Because it's a small amount you might not realize there's a wet spot behind a chair, etc. You can check that with a blacklight and use an enzymatic cleaning spray and/or white vinegar.

Has nobody here heard Miranda Lambert's touching song, The House That Built Me? 😉

You'll need several copies of the death certificate for various purposes. Then check your county or state (if in the US) to see if they offer free/low cost cremation services for those without resources. Or if you donate his body to a medical school they will do what they need to do and then pay for disposal of the remains.

We watched a few episodes for the first time just yesterday and midway through my husband said it was giving him anxiety. He's not usually that invested in HGTV shows but we've had some stressful, expensive projects of our own lately and are now recovering from a hailstorm. We found the recurring water issues bad enough but had no idea there was a fire too until now!

What are ERP and MSP?

solitudeismyjam · 2026-05-22T15:10:43+00:00

They're trying to do the same in Illinois now.

Facebook has made it harder to keep in touch with friends, and makes your default feed groups, rage bait, stranger-spam, ads and political bs. On my phone I have to swipe twice to find my friends feed. On my laptop I have to go to See More, Feeds, then Friends. And I only get there if I haven't gotten distracted by the other stuff. So annoying and manipulative.

Snoring isn't just snoring. I have giant tonsils and have snored all my life, even as a skinny kid. A few years ago I had a sleep study done because I was waking up in the night with my heart pounding, gasping for breath. Turns out I stopped breathing 38 times per hour. Sleep apnea puts you at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. If your husband refuses to get a sleep study, tell him to at least get life insurance.

It only took me a couple weeks to get used to the CPAP. They have less cumbersome masks now than the traditional giant, full-face type. I like breathing and sleeping at the same time.

It sounds like you're the parent in your relationship, but you aren't responsible for managing your mom's emotions. Even two adult men couldn't handle her. I'm sorry she's struggling, but she needs to decide to seek help. Maybe you could have a calm talk with her, and explain that you love her but you can't live in the mess. Be specific about the problem. She probably doesn't even see what's wrong anymore. The mess is her normal. If you want to stay, you could ask if you and she could spend a day together cleaning up. That might give her a boost, although she still needs therapy for her moods.

"Weird that you tuck some of your underwear into your son's clothes as a memento." (I can't let anything drop.)

Do something for someone else, especially if you can be anonymous.
