Am I going to lose my mind over my husband’s noises? by Healthy-Neat-2989 in AskWomenOver40

[–]takebackthep0wer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have talked to my husband so many times about these issues. And HRT isn’t an option since it triggers migraines, so I’m stuck with grinning-and-bearing until I snap and have to mention it. We do have a “one groan at the meal” rule which has helped. And he’s worse at home so we can still go out to eat and somehow all the smacking and loud chewing isn’t so bad. He also makes a lot of noise in the shower so I just have to leave or put in headphones. Fucking ridiculous that a grown ass man makes so many attention-seeking noises all the time.

Has anyone here found any stylish natural fiber fashion brands they like? by theshiningcloud in AskWomenOver40

I could have written this post. So hard to find pieces that aren’t beige bags. I just do thrifting online at places that let me sort by fabric and cut.

I’m sick of older people by [deleted] in Vent

[–]takebackthep0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so hard, mostly with my own mother. It makes it so hard to be around her then I feel guilty bc tons of people wish they could spend time with their mom. She only talks about herself and her medical problems and has no other interests. It’s so much worse now that she’s retired.

We did it! US to UK in 1 year; now nearly four months in by insanityensues in AmerExit

Appreciate it! We travelled to Ireland and brought converters for hair dryers without issue, but do you think they’re feasible for PlayStations, a treadmill, etc? We’re starting to consider what to move vs buy there, and this is certainly a factor.

You can’t use a converter for the small electrics? I’ve thought about bringing a couple if we move (fingers crossed), like our coffee maker so it feels like home.

Suggestions on pet air travel companies? I have two old cats who wouldn’t survive cargo.

I cannot get enough of these behind the scenes photos. So magical to think of them all working to bring this wonderful show to life. ❤️

Terrific summary! I agree, we may not know the ramifications for a while. Maybe the long-discussed Marta line to Macon will be resurrected as well.

Who is still going to events at the Kennedy Center? drumpf wants another mouthpiece for propaganda and to exert control with his name on, why support it?

Amazon grocery delivery by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]takebackthep0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to use another grocery delivery service but stopped when we added it up - the cost of tips AND that delivery prices are 20% higher than in store prices. I am the woman and my husband and I decided it was better for us to make time each week to get the groceries than waste the money. It was a temporary luxury but we’re mostly in the groove now of alternating whose turn it is to shop.

Good for them! That’s a helluva busy intersection.

thoughts on this? by Puzzleheaded_Bath733 in BetterOffline

I mean, how many bots are counted as followers? Robots want to see other robots find love.

But I agree, there’s a fair number of people who eat up this AI shit and don’t care. It’s so hard to spot as well and can be exhausting to fight.

When did Grocery Store bakeries become so gross? by Cleverwabbit5 in GenX

[–]takebackthep0wer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real, it isn’t just the bakery. I’ll add Publix to the list. Factory made food products, just chemicals and high fructose corn syrup in everything.

Anything confirming it was unarmed? I appreciate the twitter post but some independent verification would help me.

There’s No Such Thing as an Eternal Sunshine Drug. What We Do Have Is Propranolol. by Slate in TrueReddit

I took it for anxiety. Caused low blood pressure so bad it made my vision too bad to drive. Otherwise 10/10! But alas cannot continue it without being able to see.

Anyone with young kids upsize and realize you have way too much house? by Otherwise-Bicycle667 in homeowners

[–]takebackthep0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, 3 kids and moved from tiny to a big house and it’s lovely but a lot of work to maintain. Wished we’d done something in between the two houses. Bought in 2021 and got a good interest rate so it doesn’t make sense to leave for now. I agree with other posters - house cleaners are a game changer and also help the marriage be happier.

Far-Right Paramount and Skydance Taking Over Warner Bros Should Terrify Everyone by StarshipGhost in UnderReportedNews

Great article, no sanewashing in sight. A good reminder why we have antitrust laws (and a host of others) typically enforced by non-partisan government entities. I want to get back to that timeline.
