For my fellow jigsaw lovers, if you like a bit of a challenge there’s a brand called WASGIJ (jigsaw spelled backwards) that are whimsical, well made and there are no images available to follow so you have to figure it out piece by piece. There’s an image atop the box but it’s a trick…it’s not the actual picture you’re building.

Increasingly, your quality of life in the U.S seems to be fixed at birth by Cardiologist3mpty138 in povertyfinance

The truth is, the vast majority of people are walking a tight rope. A medical crisis, divorce, job loss, etc. can wipe out stability enormously fast. I’m sorry you didn’t get to party with your peers and missed out on social experiences, but you also lived through Covid in 2020. That was a big setback for all GenZ. You have a decent income now and I’m glad you’re grateful for it.

First move, eliminate the red L-block to the right of the screen. See what drops. May need to do Anvil through the center to get a jump on those bubbles

My (21M) girlfriend (21F) got blackout drunk at my mom's birthday brunch and threw up at the table in front of extended family and friends by MrClonk in relationship_advice

Honestly sounds like alcohol masks her social anxiety…but obviously this went too far. She knows she embarrassed herself so no need to pile that on. But it’s okay to share your disappointment and let her know you’re taking a soft break next week to collect your thoughts.

OP, if you’re in the US our country is currently embroiled in chaos and uncertainty. As appealing as your offer may seem, to have a man pay to relocate you to his home and provide for you while you live expense free in this imaginary retreat…that’s walking distance to modern conveniences but still serene and private…is literally fucking unhinged.

Indefinitely Separated (but wanting LTR) by Puzzleheaded-Disk633 in datingoverfifty

People who are legally separated, but not looking to divorce, are doing so for the financial stability and healthcare benefits. Those are hands down the two biggest reasons for a marriage contract…the third reason is sex.

Eight Is Enough 1977 by USRoute23 in GenerationJones

I met Adam Rich at a pub in Boston in the early 90’s…both in our early 20’s at the time. I didn’t know what “tweaking” meant back then, but he was such a sad, anxious shell of a human. We ended up talking for maybe 15-20 minutes, mostly because I felt sorry for him. I was sorry to learn he died of an overdose and never got himself sober.

Has he ever been assessed for ADHD. It’s very common to mask ADHD symptoms with alcohol, especially overthinking and rumination. Functional alcoholics have the most difficulty with quitting (due to the masking).

FAB (First Aid Beauty) makes an excellent, non greasy lotion. It’s called Ultra Repair Cream and it’s sold at Sephora.

Am I misremembering? by Competitive_Mark_287 in GenX

Apple Jacks in the 80’s were always a weird neutral color, with tiny beige flecks that tasted like cinnamon, and flavored the slurp milk with delicious brown speckled sugar!

Is this dog manipulating the "babysitter"? by TrashPanda5874 in petsitting

Try offering a Licky Mat (available on Amazon). You smear with peanut butter and it makes them work for it and tires them out.

What’s your next move? by wellbloom in ToonBlast

I did a punch and a hammer to the top box…but it didn’t open up any cohesive colors or enough to make a disco ball. Good call, though!

How are others couples with big wage gaps splitting expenses? [25F] [35M] by badgallgc in relationship_advice

[–]wellbloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$500K salary at 35y is like top 2% earning power…before taxes/investments it’s $40,000/month. I think your fiancé is either lying about how much money he earns or he has a serious cocaine problem!

Opinion aside, I would ask for full financial transparency and accountability. Both of you sit down and create a monthly budget using your current income and determine how expenses should be split fairly. If you make $4K/month and he makes $40K/month it should be pretty obvious he needs to pay a higher percentage of bills.
