“Going through” seems to indicate one will come out on the other side…I have no such hope.
Ah, I see! That is fantastic. When my decrepitude advances such that I need a staff, I hope I’m cool enough to wield one as awesome as this.
The lace on that bedding is gorgeous!
Republican senators in North Carolina just passed a bill making it illegal to wear a mask in public. They call it the “Unmasking Mobs and Criminals” bill. It’s intended to enhance penalties for people wearing masks during the commission of a crime, but there is no exemption for people who need to wear a mask in public because they or a person in their household is immunocompromised, undergoing chemotherapy, or needs to protect themselves from communicable diseases for any other reason.
Essentially, they are using the campus protests against the Israel/Palestine conflict to pass legislation that’s popular with their anti-vax/anti-science/anti-common sense base.
Very cool-looking! Perhaps not the most practical design for a walking stick…are you meant to interlace your fingers with the spines? LOL, I would definitely trip and impale myself. But super neat work!
Gryra! Thetchen! Yeah, there’s no saving it.
Or a naughty chocolate spread?
585 is the stamp for 14k gold. It appears to be 14k yellow gold, probably with sapphires and diamonds. Maybe someone else will recognize the other markings.
I don’t know and I don’t want to know! I just remember the lady in the article saying that she was going for the world record for “fattest pu__y”. Like Ma’am
Reminds me of how everyone called Chic Jeans “Chick Jeans” back in the day
1) OP and their long-distance girlfriend plan a joint birthday party. Guest list is based on a group chat friend group, primarily GF’s friends. 2) GF asks OP if she can/should invite another friend, a Guy who OP doesn’t like because he hurt GF in the past. GF has forgiven Guy and says she doesn’t understand why OP doesn’t want to be around him. 3) GF insists on inviting Guy to the party despite OP’s objections and says it’s not OP’s business or problem that Guy hurt her in the past. OP gives in and agrees to invite Guy to the party.
Do I have all that right? If so, I would say definitely NTA…in fact, it sounds like you clearly communicated your feelings, but were still gracious enough to acquiesce to her wishes when she insisted. You’re doing all you can to make her happy, but I’m concerned that you’re not getting the same understanding and effort from her. She asked for your input, then completely disregarded your (normal) feelings and pushed her own agenda, despite knowing that the dude’s presence would make you unhappy and uncomfortable at a party that’s supposed to be for you too.
When people hurt us, or people we love, it is normal to be cautious around them in the future. That’s not to say that holding grudges is healthy or good; holding onto negative feelings only hurts you in the long run. If you can forgive and forget, great. Do it. It’s better for everyone, and (nearly) everyone deserves a second chance. BUT, we will naturally be more careful about opening ourselves to future pain from that person. Human nature being what it is, “once burned, twice shy” and all that. So I don’t think it’s unreasonable for you to have some lingering reservations about this person who hurt your girlfriend. You don’t trust or like him. Totally understandable. So I think it’s disingenuous for her to say that her past issues with this guy don’t affect you, and shouldn’t play into your decision to invite him to your party. A suspicious person might wonder why his presence matters so much to her.
It depends on how comfortable you want to be, and how much money you want to spend. Ideally, for each bed you’d have 2 sets of sheets, so you can always have a set on the bed, even while one set is in the laundry. One each of blankets/quilts/mattress pads for each bed, since you don’t have to wash them as often. 2 bath towels and 4 washcloths per person. 2 hand towels per sink. Set of 8 plates/cups/bowls/knives/forks/spoons. Good set of knives, including 4 steak knives. 2 baking sheets, large and small frying pan, large and small saucepan, Dutch oven/large pot for soup, etc. Lids for each piece of cookware. 2 cutting boards, one each for meat and veggies. 1 colander. 2 each of non-scratching (wood/silicone) spatulas & spoons for cooking. Good set of measuring cups & spoons. Ladle, whisk, tongs, corkscrew, meat thermometer. Good cotton kitchen towels, enough to give you a clean one each day between laundry runs. 8 placemats or 2 tablecloths.
These are what I consider the bare minimum. I have had less, and I have had more, but life seems to run smoothest when I have enough of everything that I don’t have to wash laundry every day or dishes after every meal. Budget also comes into play, of course. But there’s really no need to have 4 full sets of bedding for each bed, or 3 sets of dishes, etc. After a while you’re just storing stuff that you don’t need.
They said, “Government shouldn’t be able to tell us what to do! This is an outrage! How dare they try to legislate people’s personal health care decisions?” when those regulations were backed by science and put in place during a pandemic to protect people’s health and lives. Now they’ve progressed to literally legislating people’s personal health care decisions - to the detriment of public health - based on conspiracy theories and junk “science.”
I will never understand why we keep electing idiots to public office in America.
Damn it, Normal_Human_Guy. Now you’ve given them the idea for a Weenie Wax Tax
Factory/assembly line jobs.
Clay. Dense and moldable.
Yep. Establish beds that will encompass the “dead zone” and plant/mulch. Just be careful about adding a raised bed - you don’t want to change the soil level around the trees to the point that you damage/kill the trees.
This is an unauthorized display of toe beans. Ima need to confiscate that kitten.
They look like they just came from the office Christmas party and checked their blazers at the door
