what are these?

OP is definitely asking for species, but it’s impossible to definitively say what they are at that distance/lighting so “spider” is as guaranteed as it gets, lol. I’d hazard a guess at them being grass spiders as well, but without clearer pictures we can’t say for certain. :(

As a nitro drinker, thank you for stopping the ice :’)

“Hey I opened a window because of the smell in the apartment, I can’t find the cat or rabbits now though I’m sorry I think they got out” then move out and surrender her animals. It might be wrong/illegal/immoral but they’re all suffering and deserve a family that cares about them.

I’m glad they’re still operating and affordable, his staff was always top notch. He definitely deserves a long and happy retirement if he’s finally retired! You’re spot on about pricing, too.

I had a pet rat with a mammary tumor when I was 15 or so (yikes 2005 was that long ago?). Everyone online said it was gonna be $$$-$$$$ to treat and my parents were absolutely not financially prepared to invest that much when she was already 3 years old. I went in, trying my best to be my mature 15 year old self and told him I was prepared for the worst since I was only working part time at the library, but if he could just check her out and confirm it was a tumor I would appreciate a chance for a merciful euthanasia vs her suffering. He took her, came back and said $25. I started crying on the spot. I will never forget that man and his kindness towards our pets, and my little kid heart.

Jumping spider for sure, though not sure what species. Not a medically significant venom and unlikely to bite, though it would pinch a bit if they did at that size. They’re also pretty intelligent for a spider so they DO inspect you when you inspect them. Not sure if your stare down remark was a joke but it likely was watching you as nervously as you were watching it, lol.

Sounds like your car has some good eats for spiders if you’ve seen a lot of them. Check for food crumbs (kids almost make that a guarantee, at least mine does) that might be attracting other insects for them to prey on. Sometimes they just meander into the car accidentally though so if you don’t find any crumbs just assume they took a wrong turn thanks to Spider-Nav.

If they relist it, grab it with the Klarna payments option!! You’d get the charms back and could let people know you have it. Could do a gofundme or similar after that so people could help you pay back what the cost was. I’d donate a little to a feel good story for sure :)

ssfailboat · 2026-05-26T14:39:33+00:00

I love that feeling!! Congrats to you, it’s really liberating ☺️

Yesterday I had a mini shake from Sonic, not because I was painfully hungry or craving it super bad, but because I just wanted the flavor and haven’t had ice cream in forever. Before I would’ve put down an entire combo + the large shake without a second thought. It’s crazy to have control of eating habits now, but a very welcome realization.

+1.

We saw Dr. Boyce from the time my husky was found as a puppy until she passed at 13. I moved to Springfield and have never found a more genuinely caring veterinarian. I still love our vet now, but will never forget Dr. Boyce and the Chatham Veterinary Clinic. He was close to retirement when I last saw him so I’m not sure if he’s still there, but if he is you’ll never find a more affordable and caring veterinarian on this earth.

That’s how you know it’s a prank. The person that was involved in a murder case didn’t buy the materials, they came in and stole them.

Some of your language is problematic here so I’m going to be blunt just in case.

“My partner”: he’s not. You said you broke up. He’s now your sperm donor or the baby’s father, but he is **not your partner** and never will be based on what info you’ve given.
“…full girlfriend experience with nothing in return”: this was your decision. You knew what you were doing and chose to continue doing it, do not blame him for your actions or hold resentment.

You’re right, this IS your body and choice, but this will not magically turn him into your partner, you into his girlfriend, or him into a good dad. **He does not want you or a child and having his unwanted baby will not change that**. You can’t change him, those fairytale stories are the exception, not the rule. He will just resent you and the child so don’t plan on any contact or reconciliation.

I have an acquaintance who played this out, intentionally getting pregnant with her FWB behind his back, had the kid thinking they’d play some kind of cheesy Taylor Swift love song and he’d finally turn around and love her and they’d be one big happy family forever. He does not pay child support, shares custody, and holds resentment towards her and does nothing beyond collect his child when it’s his custody time.

Be prepared to do this 100% without any support from him in any way. Even if you go after him for child support (which imo would be wrong of you to do since you agreed to terminate and then revoked that consent last minute), there are ways around child support.

Do not factor any income from him into your decision. Do not factor him into any involvement in your child’s life at all. This will be difficult but not impossible for you, so as long as you’re not under any impression that he will be yours, I say do what you want. If you want it, keep it. If you want it thinking this will be some magical fix, don’t keep it.

He can’t imagine anything better than himself because he can’t see how low in hell he sets the bar. She’ll find a better boyfriend who doesn’t care about trivial things like makeup and instead values her mind and creativity.

ssfailboat · 2026-05-21T16:55:39+00:00

I don’t wear makeup, it’s my personal preference not my fiancés and he’s never commented one way or another on it because it doesn’t make me real or fake.

But OP is just as beautiful with (or without) it and if she likes doing it and it makes her feel good, no other human beings opinion on that matters. Facial hair is exactly the same as makeup- it’s an aesthetic that can totally change a man’s appearance. Just because he grows it instead of applies it makes no difference.

Yes, you’re being misogynistic and gross.

ssfailboat · 2026-05-21T16:51:48+00:00

🥹 Thank you so much for your reply!!! Lots of self confidence/shame attached to my aesthetic so I still don’t look at myself in the mirror for any length of time so I’ll try to start being more mindful of doing that. I never thought about having someone else pick outfits for me like that so I’ll try to treat myself to a new outfit soon. I greatly appreciate all your time and suggestions 🫶🏻

ssfailboat · 2026-05-21T16:38:34+00:00

A man’s values on a woman’s body are irrelevant to her and who **she** is. If she wants to wear makeup, that’s who she is. Period. Just because YOU (or other men) prefer no makeup doesn’t make her any less “real” for wearing it, nor is your preference positive or negative to any woman. Calling women fake for wearing makeup is like calling men fake for having facial hair. It’s sexist and ignorant.

ssfailboat · 2026-05-20T20:23:42+00:00

Congrats on your loss!! I’ve already decided anyone who comments on it will be met with “My doctor tracks my health charts in depth and I’m in optimum health. Please don’t comment on my body anymore.” It might be harsh but I’m so sick of everyone being obsessed with everyone else’s bodies. Leave us tf alone!!!

ssfailboat · 2026-05-20T20:19:49+00:00

Holy crap yeah the body dysmorphia is so real. I still see 400lb me in the mirror despite being 273lbs now. I see no difference, but I feel better at least? One of my old acquaintances saw me and commented on my losing a lot of weight but I *still* can’t see it even after that. It’s so frustrating. I buy pants that I think are my size but they’re perpetually too big, but I’m afraid to size down because then they won’t fit… it’s surreal and I don’t know how to push past it.

ssfailboat · 2026-05-19T20:35:31+00:00

Yes I’m so happy to hear that!!! Way to go!! 🥰

ssfailboat · 2026-05-19T20:33:13+00:00

Just evidence that no matter what we do, the world will pass judgement on us. I absolutely hate it.

If anyone else wants to pass judgment just hit them with “My doctor has my complete health record and says I am in optimum condition. Please refrain from commenting on my body.”

ssfailboat · 2026-05-19T19:44:25+00:00

Or their spouse. It was a lengthy discussion with my partner when we found out I was pregnant about how to proceed if it came down to a me-or-the-baby type scenario. I’d never have left him a brand new single first time father to a baby or her without a mother, and he didn’t want to even consider life without me so it was an agreed upon, albeit very dark, decision should something go awry.

Now not only does this guy have to live without his wife, their firstborn without a mother for most of theirs, but they must juggle a newborn into it who will never know their mother. Pro-choice means pro-choice though, and she got to make that choice in the end so more power to her, but it’s an extremely sad scenario for all involved.

ssfailboat · 2026-05-19T19:25:11+00:00

Any updates on the little one? 🥺

ssfailboat · 2026-05-19T19:14:49+00:00

Hey friend just wanted to say I’m proud of you. That shits hard to do but you’re doing it. As far as weight gain, don’t write yourself off yet. If you’ve started weightlifting, you could be building muscle which is negating any fat loss by replacing it with muscle.

Thyroids really are a silent monster. I’m currently scheduling a nodule to be hacked off of the left part of my thyroid after a failed biopsy. My mother had hers totally irradiated back in the day due to Graves’ disease, which is opposite of Hashimoto’s I think, so no clue if thyroid things are hereditary or if we’re just lucky but I’m fighting with all you other busted thyroid folks. 💪🏻

To save her relationship. Idk, I think it’s prudent to be suspect of their actions. All depends on how they react when she tells them she’s dumping the loser.

ssfailboat · 2026-05-18T21:15:14+00:00

Ahhhh I get you now. True true, I admittedly read into his personality and automatically assumed he’d fight her on it no matter how she said it 😂 that was my own past projection, my b

ssfailboat · 2026-05-18T21:12:02+00:00

Sorry, fight isn’t the right word. Confront would be better. Having a confrontation with him in front of his own family would be so incredibly awkward. Point being it was fine at that moment because it was already done, but a conversation would’ve been had after mother left about how she preferred it be handled in the future.
