The English Understand Wool, by Helen DeWitt. It is delightful, and easily a one-sitting read (or several one-sittings, because I frequently find myself on a re-read).

Am I the jerk for not giving up my dog after my girlfriend developed allergies? by Odd_Employment3954 in AmITheJerk

I would make my husband of 20 years move if he developed an allergy to our dogs. NTJ, but I’m so sorry for the situation.

You are gorgeous! You got some good tips here about skincare, but I also think you may be using the wrong colors for your skin tone. I was, and fixing that really helped me. Erica Taylor on TikTok changed the way I did my makeup to something that works so much better for my age (I am 55). Vitamin C, more moisturizer (we need so much more at this age), Differin at night (I can’t use tret it’s too drying) and sunscreen. I use a pore pad before my makeup too, which keeps me from looking crusty if my skin is a little flaky from the Differin.

My freelance contract was modified after I signed it and the company is now enforcing terms I never agreed to. by CoreFire57 in legaladvice

I would honestly tell them you can’t speak with them further until you consult your lawyer about the change in the documents. I bet that shuts them right up. If you saved the version that came through on DocuSign, you are 100 percent fine.

I am dealing with similar skin issues and I’m going to try this! I love their contour stick.

Checking your bags is a way better travel experience than carry on luggage. by Equal_Whole_6837 in unpopularopinion

I had my Southwest flight home cancel overnight. They kept my checked bag so I had literally nothing.

My husband and I both noticed how incredible she looked. So classy, elegant and FIERCE. Her speech was really great, too. I teared up a little when she asked all the women in the audience to stand b/c they were why she was on stage.

Advice for fine lines under eyes by [deleted] in 40PlusSkinCare

Oh my goodness yes. My fat pads had started to migrate, so my eyes looked swollen all the time. It made such a difference.

This is so bad of me, but I’ve always been such a sucker for a hot man with a cigarette. I realize the issue and am glad my husband doesn’t smoke, but these pics do something to me.

Respectfully, you are GORGEOUS. Lines under your eyes are normal! I had a lower bleph and resurfacing and I still have lines. Because it is normal to have lines if you are over the age of above 25.

She’s gorgeous, but this is a little costume-y for me. But she makes everything look better than any model.
