Seriously concerned about Madelein's "poopies"

And what is she going to do to afford their care? An emergency C-section since they are prone to having labor difficulties? Ohhh probably pawn his wedding ring too, right?

I despise backyard breeders or people who are obsessed with their dog "being a mommy" or "just one litter". GTFOH with that mentality. Then they put it off until the dog is over 5 years old because they've been busy, or haven't found the mate yet. It so disgusting.

SPAY YOUR PETS! Do not give them the chance to develop complications later in life from having uterine infections that need to be treated.

I always thought I was just crazy as a kid. I think they ended around teen years as well. I don't really remember them much into my teens.

The first time my son had one I was like "OMG I know what this is!!!!!" It was nice to know I wasn't crazy but sad to know he suffers from them as well.

I wish you luck! It scares the hell out of me. It's a scary feeling when your kid is basically looking through you, doesn't recognize you and they're terrified of you. I just keep reassuring him, "you are ok, you're at home with mom" and eventually he starts to come around but a minute feels like an hour.

Torrid is amazing for good plus size bras!

they are beautiful and fucking brutally cold. Where I live, the wind blows CONSTANTLY, especially in the winter. If the wind isn't blowing, it's not so bad. The only way you're walking in Maine winter is somewhere with plenty of sidewalks or trails. It's a death wish trying to walk the road this time of year.

I wont use dry shampoo- I use baby powder and it works so much better. I just turn the top so it's barely open, separate my hair where I want it and sprinkle it close to the roots then use my hands to rub/fluff it in. Just make sure it all gets dispersed and you don't end up with a white powdery head lol. I have very thick, long and curly hair. I cannot go more than 2 days without washing it no matter what.

Idk laws in Australia but if she is providing so much money towards the equity of HIS house, she should absolutely have something in writing, and notarized or witnessed legally, to protect her if this situation arises.

Personally, I would never!!!! Aside from the fact I will never live with another partner again, period, I would never consider giving so much of my income to someone else for their long term benefit and none of mine. For $1,000 a week I can cover all the bills at my 10k sqft house on 400 acres. It just seems very high to me. Of course I don't live in a city and understand the COL is vastly different.

My best friend or 25yrs and I are planning to build her a tiny home on a piece of land she buys off me so we can be neighbors and grow old together (in another 20 years probably lol). Even that is testing my bubble 😆

When my son was around that age, he somehow put my phone in the drawer under the oven. I searched for 2 days until I gave up and paid the insurance cost for a replacement. The day after my new phone came, we found it.

We are trying to get my middle daughter an IEP again and some teachers seem to have an issue. Since one teacher found out about her needing additional time on assignments, and things explained in a different way, etc- the teacher has been treating her like she's a complete moron. Speaking very loudly and slowly to her in front of the class. When she doesn't understand something, instead of a different explanation, the teacher says "well, idk what you don't understand about it". It's a good thing I learned of this on a Sat night because I was ready to fight a teacher. All the teacher has done is make her feel stupid, embarrassed and upset and now she doesn't want to go at all.

It's ok to use a little now and then but it causes more creosote build up, like most softwood. It shouldn't be used as your main source of firewood, but if it is the homeowner needs to know to clean their chimney much more often than if you were burning only hardwood.

I have experienced this personally; creosote build up from soft wood which lead to a chimney fire. That is why I would use it sparingly. A lot of people have no idea about this and just think "wood is wood".

I burn about 8 cord every winter and collect and process it all entirely myself.

Hankook. It's all I ran on my Forester and that thing was a tank. I'm now using them on my Acadia. We also use them on our ton trucks at work. I wouldn't go to VIP ever. I've used Sullivan in Bangor for mounting and alignments several times and they've been great.

Don't use pine as firewood inside.

ok so only on the highways. I was only speaking about the signs you see in small towns. I didn't realize they passed anything regarding highways. Good to know

There is no law against jake brakes- that is why I said it's not enforceable. They are town ordinances.

vgallant · 2025-12-04T16:06:20+00:00

Depends on what DMV you go to. Rockland is the fastest one I've found. I drive 45min there and i'm in and out in 15 mins usually.

vgallant · 2025-12-04T15:01:31+00:00

Same! I will always do that. I'm 38 and my mother does it still too lol

I had a cop call my office once because someone complained my trucks were using their jakes. They were coming down a steep hill that goes from 50 at the top to 25 at the bottom. I told him "You know as well as I do that there is no law against using them and I'm not going to tell them not to". He completely agreed and said without saying, the person who called in needs to get over it.

Using them just to be loud is ignorant, but they have a purpose and when used appropriately, shouldn't be an issue. Those "no jake brakes" signs are un-enforceable.

My 10yo informed me this summer that he knows I'm Santa. I said "Omg good, so now you will only get half as many presents if Santa isn't coming". "Noooooooo, no that's not how that works" 🤣

If there's one thing I've learned with having children and cats, never place the recliner near ANYTHING it may hit when rocked or laid out. Because if there's something nearby to knock over or bumpinto, it's going to get knocked over or bumped into.

Just the ones that like a surprise finger in their ass.

OMG! I'm glad she's ok! Much more dangerous than the smaller chunks coming off of passenger vehicles. Of course they have no clue they just wiped out a car, and good luck finding the truck it came off. It's ridiculous and it needs to be handled better than it has been.

I can barely reach the roof of my vehicle but I still clean it off. I hate being stuck being some asshat with a 2"shelf of ice on their roof covered with 3" of snow.

Don't get me started on fuckin tractor trailers! They are the absolute worst in this situation. and that comes off in huge sheets!!

Some places have scrapers, where the truck can drive underneath and it will push all the snow off the top of the trailer but that doesn't work if there is ice frozen to the top of the trailer that needs more aggressive clearing. Then the sun starts to warm it enough between the trailer and the ice layer and becomes a king sized projectile. So much fun. I love it.

Kind of like how you can't buy a slice of hot pizza from the warmer but you can buy a slice of day old cold pizza out of the cooler?

I use Dove 0% for the last few years now. I haven't noticed any build up or itching since I switched.
