If he was critical before you moved in together, why did you move in? Surely you didn’t expect him to change? Get out of there.

I’m sorry, but no. You can often find other people in dispersed camping areas, especially when it’s the busy season. Chances are you wouldn’t be all alone out there.

Yup, I have a few friends in cooler parts of the country telling me they’d melt. I said come now, don’t visit when it’s 115, or monsoon season. Both are equally horrid.

Yeah, you are. There are two sides to every story. He said he didn’t agree with what the guy did.

This is a perfect list, read it to my husband as well!

Add more vegetables than the recipes call for and cut back on meat.

Have your meat and just vegetables as sides. Small meat portion, but pile on the veg. Make baked potatoes, better sweet potatoes. So good with a little diced ham sautéed with a bit of apple. Sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon.

Add veggies that have a good amount of fiber in them. Carrots, some squashes, peas, artichokes, sweet potatoes …it’s pretty easy to have a salad with enough fiber to keep you feeling full. Add some lentils or black beans for protein if you want vegetarian, some avocado for fat. Also, nuts are a good way to get protein and fat.

Moms used to give their kids Dimetap to get them to bed around the time my kids were daycare age. I always found that disturbing.

Leukotape and keep working on breaking the boots in. Wear the leukotape regardless when you take the hike.

Nope. She tried to change his mind by having a kid, now it’s her problem.

Try an oil rather than product. A little coconut oil can help your P by making it less flaky, and your hair. Just search coconut oil for frizzy hair.

Ask for experiences not stuff. Give ideas like breakfast in bed, a special dinner, camping even if only in the backyard or your living room. Whatever it is you enjoy or might want to try in your area.

My husband took me to Medieval Times last year, super fun. We’ve done the dinner theaters where you also solve a murder, miniature golf, laser tag…

I HATE ticks, so gross! That thing is itty bitty, glad it’s not stuck to you!

Yeah but wasn’t it more…I dunno, soft? I can’t explain it. Anyway, I read your posts with Foghorns voice in my head

Citronella does absolutely nothing to a dog when it’s riled up. Nothing. And that spray that is supposed to keep dogs off the couch doesn’t do anything either. They are a waste of money and effort.

An air horn and/or a treat may work, but they don’t always. I had to throw both my dogs on top of a van parked in a driveway to keep them away from a couple of large off leash dogs. So always have a plan.

Wow, pretty fucking racist bot here.
