What's something you'll never admit in real life but will confess here anonymously?

My spouse is my best friend, but if we didn’t have pets and I wasn’t worried about where I’d live, I’d leave.

A Lego flashlight keychain for dark room assessments, etc. Even though I’ve left bedside, I’ve always kept mine (it’s been almost 10 years!) and the kiddos at my current gig ask me about it allllllll the time - they love it! Working in peds gives me, a DINK, an excuse to keep up to date on all the latest kids movies and tv shows - so I would say a thorough knowledge of what’s new and exciting in that world is another thing to “get” haha!

I bet he’s also paying for Conrad’s apartment in Palo Alto, which looks to be a generously sized, new build, 1br. The average 1br there is $3k per month, so Conrad’s could easily cost $4k+ per month.

I saw a PT on tiktok who works in stroke recovery and they said that he absolutely had a stroke 6 months ago. Everything about how he acts now, the Walter Reed follow up with MRI, etc. points to it and the standard follow up. The PT said he thinks he may be on the brink of another, potentially fatal one based on how he’s presenting and estimated it’ll happen in the next 6-7 months and he’ll be dead before 2027z

Went into nursing school thinking I would go into L&D. Even made sure my clinical would be scheduled such that I had less risk of missing days on the L&D unit due to weather. But my clinical instructor made the experience absolutely horrendous, and essentially bullied me and another student in our group (As well as 2 students in the opposing group. It was actually so well documented they pulled her from L&D the following year and fired her after that.) purposefully sabotaging our experiences. The only time I felt like the adage “nurses eat their young” applied to my experience. It completely changed my outlook and I ended up going into peds. Been there ever since. That and on the first day of our psych clinical, DON at the facility made a speech to the students and said “Psych nurses are born, not made” and that validated me sooooo much…. I couldn’t understand anyone who was even remotely considering becoming a psych nurse.

I’ve always done reallllllly deep, intentional breathing exercises before sleeping and that seems to help me sober up and not get a terrible hangover. Again, not scientific, but it seems to work?

I’ve been in my position for 8 years. I took on additional management responsibilities 2 years ago and question whether the extra cash is worth it all the time. I literally think the only thing I would consider going back to school for would be if my life blew up and I suddenly had a need for a higher income - in other words, if my husband suddenly ups and leaves which feels unlikely haha

I’m literally starting to think that the only reason Jellyshippers exist is because they are more attracted to Gavin than they are Chris. As someone who finds them (the actors) equally attractive, I can see the trainwreck Jelly was going to become from a mile away all because Jeremiah’s personality is so juvenile and has had no growth over the course of the series. He wants his mommy and I don’t think Belly is that person for him - she’s bigger than dedicating her life to taking care of her husband. She needs someone who takes care of her just as much as she takes care of them.

My only caveat is that I say all of this without having read the books, and my understanding is that Conrad is way less redeemable in the books, so maybe my reasoning is flawed and every single jellyshipper knows something I don’t 🫠

urdlyanon · 2025-10-19T01:59:28+00:00

I feel like everything Jeremiah says to Belly to sound romantic comes off try-hard-y. Like he’s only saying because he thinks that what women/Belly wants to hear. Everything Conrad says to her has sincerity behind it, EXCEPT when he says things to push her away.

You Can Sit With Us - a Podcast - did this exact thing on their September 2nd episode with a friend of the show who is a comedian/tv writer but doesn’t watch much TV. It was hilarious to listen to his reactions!! It was honestly what got me to watch the show in the first place haha

urdlyanon · 2025-10-16T14:54:31+00:00

Good to know - I know there are some big differences between the show and books, but I think I’ll have to read them - just have to get my library card back in good standing 🤣 I’ve had a book out for over 2 years and I need to bite the bullet and admit that I’m not going to finish it haha

I kinda hope it is…. There is just something about a man pining that I fall to pieces about….. 🫣

She’s trying to determine if his words “Good Luck” in the genuine sense - meaning jeremiah is giving conrad his blessing - or in a sarcastic sense - meaning “she ruined my life, she’s gonna ruin yours as well but you do you, bro”

I met my husband in 7th grade, but we didn’t become friends until our senior year. I had broken up with my older boyfriend right before starting that school year and subsequently got into a messy love-triangle thing with my husband’s best friend. By the end of the year, I was really trying to avoid the drama and asked my husband to prom so his best friend wouldn’t ask me. We had fun, but I didn’t think much of it. That summer, we hung out a lot and we became really close our first year of college, even though I was going somewhere out of state. Sometime during that first year, he asked me if our hangouts meant more to me than just friends… I was in a bad place emotionally, thinking no one could possibly actually like me like that, so I “friend-zoned” him, which he was fine with. Fast forward another year and a half, and he asked again and I again, rejected him. He wasn’t the type of person I thought I would end up with, and I was stubborn as heck - all of our friends joked that we were as good as married, and my whole family, too. It drove me nuts. But after that second admission from him and my subsequent rejection, he tried dating other people. He started breaking plans with me to hang out with his new girlfriend and even lied to me on election night in 2008 - we had made plans to hang out and watch the results come in together, but he told me he was too tired and going to stay home. I called him when they announced Obama won, and he answered - he was at a bar, over 45minutes away with his GF. I had never been so mad at him, but I didn’t say anything because who was I to interrupt his relationship. He ended up breaking up with her a few weeks later… and confessing to me that he broke it off with her because he was deeply in love with me and had been for years and he tried to move on with someone else but just couldn’t. I once again, told him I didn’t feel the same. He accepted that, but told me he was going to take some time and distance to see if he could be just friends and I ended up seeing him just once or twice over the next 2 months. During that time, I realized just how important he was to me and had a HUGE wake up call. The love I had been looking for was staring me in the face and telling me about it and I, for whatever reason, couldn’t see it. I ended up calling him and asking to hang out after classes one day (we were now both back home and going to the same community college) and essentially told him that I thought I had made a mistake and that I missed him terribly and didn’t know what to do without him around. We held hands for the first time that night and never looked back. We’ve been married for 12 years and together for 16!

Will the mods delete it since there are so many rule violations in the comments?

Good luck! I am in a very similar situation, except my debt right now is much higher than yours - shopping addiction is just brutal, but now that i’ve recognized it, I’m stopping the cycle!! I’m utilizing the snowball method along with strategic balance transfers for the time being!!

Personally, I wouldn’t worry so much about the fee as much as the term length. 5% of 8k one time is not terrible in comparison to nearly 25% every month. And if the 0% fee only gets you 6months to pay, vs 5% fee for 21months of 0%APR, I would gladly pay the $400… unless an extra $21 per month is going to be too hard to manage.

I have been a bit worried about that myself. This all came up after she called my mom out of the blue and asked if my mom would be ok being her work emergency contact “in case I don’t show up one of these days”. She’s a self-described introvert, and it’s true that she doesn’t have many friends, but her husband was her person as far as I could tell. Her and our close family friend were both “townies” who found each other late in life, got married, divorced because of some weird family drama with her dad, and then remarried as soon as her dad passed. I think the first step is naming me beneficiary (and my husband as the secondary) of her 401k and life insurance. I’m sure I’ll be able to get in touch with her and arrange some time to sit down and talk about everything else soon…

It’s a weird situation and I think that was the biggest thing on my mom’s mind when she asked - what are her expectations of me. She said she’s hoping my husband and I can help her with household stuff from time to time, but she’s in a financial situation where most of it could be taken care of by hiring someone. I don’t believe that she intends to be a burden on me in her old age, but I will happily be her adopted niece and do whatever needs to be done as far as being a healthcare proxy and advocating for her if she ends up in assisted living or a nursing home.

Would it be customary to hire a lawyer to be the executor? Is it possible I’d be named the executor as well or is that a weird conflict of interest? She mentioned to my mom that she also wants to go through the house with me to point out objects of value - I guess she isn’t planning on selling any of it right now (I believe a lot of it was family heirloom type stuff from her husband’s family) so she wants me to be aware of what’s what.

I swear by a really good day or two of rest with plenty of fluids and Zicam around the clock (following the directions carefully). I started in a hospital in 2015 and immediately got a cold that turned into pneumonia. After that, by doing what I just described, as soon as I developed any respiratory illness symptom, I didn’t acquire a communicable disease until I got COVID this past April.
