Fuck.
S’s car has a throwout bearing which was going bad, so I was planning on replacing her clutch, but I had to make time to do it. So, talking to the now retired Grizz, he offered to do it. Which I knew he wouldn’t be content with retirement, but anyhow. So I sent S and her girlfriend there today to get it done, and I knew S would get in there and be a part of it, so I texted her girlfriend to find out what the status was. Now I’m thinking I’ve made a terrible mistake.

My dog has always had a very strong prey drive but it is even worse since he got his second squirrel over the weekend. He's got a true bloodlust now. He climbed a tree honest to God six feet in the air today to chase a squirrel. I nearly had to drop his leash and I almost did anyway so that if he fell he wouldn't injure his neck. He ended up falling down through the branches gently-ish. He whined at one point because I think his back leg got over stretched but he seems fine. But there was thirty seconds where I really thought I was going to have a dead dog on my hands, it was incredibly stressful.

I believe there's a presence in our house today. Bf woke me up around 6:30am because he was having an anxiety attack. I went down to the basement to sit with him. His boss called him so I went upstairs to sit in the kitchen. A balloon suddenly entered the kitchen, all the way from the far side of the living room ceiling. It floated all the way over to me and came to a stop right behind me, mid air. No way can a balloon do that on its own. That was freaky.

I wish people on Nextdoor would stop being so fucking flaky when you’re selling something. Either you want the fucking coffee table or you don’t. And of you don’t, don’t waste my fucking time pretending like you do. Shit.
I've noticed that with online sales on multiple platforms....LetItGo, Facebook, local sites. UGH UGH UGH. Lately they just never get back to me.....

Yes! So many people that message just to ask if whatever you're selling is still available and all you hear is radio silence after letting them know that it is or they try to get you to lower price by giving some sob story.

Have inspection next week and not sure where to hide my giant mistake of a dildo.
Tried under the bed, but it doesn't fit with the storage box, so it will need to be wrapped in a towel on the floor till then.
I think the pest control lady already saw the dildo apparently and she has been acting uncomfortable and off with me when answering the door. :D
(Sometimes she won't even show up) Don't worry lady, it is not going to bite you so long as it is on a leash.

Put it in a fabric tote bag and roll the bag up. It looks like rolled up clothing or a fitness equipment item that way.

I think my sister is pretty upset with me right now. She knew all along I hadn’t been three most forthcoming with her, and I think she urged my friend from the community to press along with her. So, we did a late dinner at IHOP, and I ended up coming clean. About the war and what happened… about everything. I think now, for as much as they wanted to know, now they wish they didn’t.

Be patient. I have a lot of mentally ill relatives so sometimes a somewhat minor confession turns into an earth shaking event for them to hear about.
Other than that, you're all adults and you didn't really owe anyone personal information. When you're grown up and keep people in your social circle, it's a courtesy to share with them. Intimacy is not owed.

I'm thinking of leaving J again. I need to have a convo with him because as of right now there doesn't seem to be an end in sight of these difficult weeks. He ( after an experiment 30 days ago of having me stay a couple nights when his 8 year old daughter is there ) has developed a paranoia about it.
I'm thinking that it really isn't sustainable for me to be banned from sleeping next to my partner every other week 5 days out of the week. He has her a 2-2-3 schedule . It's such a complex issue. I've been with him over 6 months. His home is huge ( we are not talking about a small place where you can hear anything ). I've been supportive and I think I've been a great partner.
I was just there for brunch with them both and he was depressed so I asked what the matter is and he is like " I'm so horny and this is so hard ect. "
I'm not the one creating this difficulty. I am not just going to go over there and fool around either . He tried to get her on a TV show and tried to get something going upstairs but it didn't feel right.

I don’t know if I’d call this minor, but it’s nice to no longer have to keep up the… I don’t now if I’d call it deception, but it’s not too far from it. No more worrying about keeping the closet door closed in my bedroom for fear of her seeing my uniforms I still keep in there.
We talked about things today. There’s still a lot she’s upset about, but I think we found some closure between us in all of it. What she’s owed and isn’t… she did uproot herself from the only life she’d ever known to stay here, and I know it was a pretty heavy decision for her to make. So I don’t think it’s unfair she should expect some honesty on my end. This is my sister we’re talking about, and I wouldn’t really call it a small thing that got blown out of proportion.

I’m not entirely out of the woods. There’s still the matter of my parents, and I still haven’t told her everything (and probably never will). At least she hasn’t asked where the pickup came from and the story behind me getting it. She did ask for more details about how I crossed paths with S and what led to me taking her in. But there wasn’t really much to tell there aside from small details which didn’t really make much difference.

I feel like it's so rash in a way to consider breaking it off but I feel so held at a distance.
I am not sure I'm going to be as sexually responsive as he is expecting / used to.
We were so happy for 5 months and now ( the last month or so ) I feel really off.
I should probably run this by a therapist first.
In a way I feel like he is waving his lack of commitment to us around like a Flag . Like ...... how am I supposed to respond ?

I had extra food and I drove around to find it a home. As a single person, I can hardly eat everything I have before it goes bad. I drove around to where the beggars are.-not saying that in a derogatory way the Buddha was a beggar. I found a single mom that was able to take everything off my hands! I don’t think she was homeless, but obviously if your kids can’t go to school then how do you work? Reminds to be thankful for camming as a way to put a roof over my head.

But just speaking as someone who has known ex-Hutterites and Mennonites- an issue with the "English" world is, for better or worse, we are all expected to find our Fates. & On a different topic family members/siblings can have radically different lives and still get along.
I don't know more about your housing situation so I will leave it at that. You don't owe anyone extra coddling, even if they are related. In the English far-away-from-home world, family is who you find, not who claims ownership over your space or lifestyle.

My husband has done some really sweet things the last couple of weeks. And the last few days, we've gone through some couple's questionnaires to learn more about each other, and it's made me realize that he does know a lot more about me than I give him credit for. He really is a great guy and husband - my only complaints are his lack of focus regarding money discipline and the fact that his standards for "clean" around the house are much lower than mine, so if I want him to clean something while he's off, I have to TELL him that it needs to be done (when to me, it should be so freakin' obvious). But... I know he doesn't have these habits out of pure entitled laziness or just not giving a fuck, so I'm trying to be more patient with them.

LOL pretty much. Bonus though, potbelly guy can usually cook.
OK ladies, I have to vent about this because it's slightly messing with my mind.
One of my boyfriend's former co-workers died recently- he got shot because he tried to violently rape a woman and she fought back.
My boyfriend is a very mind-mannered guy so I don't think he ever thought that his co-worker would be capable of such a thing, or meeting such an end.
Of course I've worked in bars long enough to know, sometimes people will surprise you, in the worst ways.
I'm glad that woman defended herself, I'm also glad that guy was stopped from bringing harm to women.
As much as I have to remind people to have moderate views on gun ownership, I have to say, this case was a perfect example of handguns working as they should, to protect someone from harm.

I had interview this morning that felt really right, and the company sent me an offer later in the afternoon. The pay was more generous than I was expecting too. I'm super glad I held out from accepting the first couple offers I got!
I actually had another offer come in this morning from a travel recruiter about 10 minutes after the interview with the facility I really liked. I'm so glad they got back to me quickly because otherwise I would have had to accept the travel contract and then been disappointed when I got an offer at the place I really wanted! It was a hella emotional roller coaster of a day.
The facility where I accepted the offer told me the state they are located in is waiving drug tests for new hires "due to covid", so I am going to celebrate by getting stoned. Yay!

I have a friend from the gym who’s a firefighter, and I wouldn’t call her a sticky woman. She’s fucking jacked. She would try to get me to do her workout routine, and I’d have to tell her, “I’m good with what I’ve got”, because I don’t want her physique. And she of course is a show off. We went grocery shopping together, so I figured that would be good, because she was about S’s height, so around 5’8”, 5’9”… rather than grab things off of high shelves for me, she caught me by surprise when she instead lifted me from under my arms up to it.
I’m involved in CERT and REACT, and a number of people from various fire departments in the area are involved with it also and conduct the training for it. Your description is accurate about the guys.
As for me, I’m about ready to strangle someone. One of the women who lives in this house… she really doesn’t. She rents a space and receives mail here, but she does the van life thing and traveled around the county working various fairs, carnivals, events, etc. She sends me the money via Zelle monthly, but she texted me in March saying she might need a couple months. So I told her take care of herself first and foremost. It’s a small monthly amount and she hardly takes up any space. Keep in mind, I haven’t actually seen her since August of last year. And she completely dropped off the face of the earth afterwards and I hadn’t been able to get a hold of her because she uses prepaid phones and changes numbers like I change socks. Her social media is all for her business rather than personal accounts, and they’ve been idle since April, when she announced it was all shut down because of COVID. So I had absolutely no idea where she’s been, what she’s been doing, if she was even still alive.
Yesterday, I received a transfer through Zelle from her, including back pay, along with a memo which said, “I’m coming home. I’ll be there soon”. So I’m suspicious as fuck, because she has never referred to here as home. What the fuck is going on?

It wouldn't be called COVID-19... 19 refers to the year of discovery of a distinct strain, in this case, SARS-CoV-2. It would also be a bit doubtful, as, even though they probably existed before then, coronaviruses weren't really recorded until the 1920s in chickens, and was known as IBV at the time. Not that there aren't other disease types which could be drawn out, but I'm a bit skeptical it would be related to the ongoing pandemic. So bioengineering disasters to me still seem considerably more frightening. For a bit of useless knowledge, the "velociraptors" in the movies were much larger than velociraptors actually were, and what they portrayed as velociraptors was much more akin to Deionychus. And that name stuck with me, because it's also used by a band which may have had a small amount of influence on my own album.

Remember Jeff Goldblum's line about how scientists forgot that just because they could do something, it didn't mean they should? They talk a lot about biological engineering to fill in the blanks, especially in regards to the Indominus Rex in Jurassic World. But recreating dinosaurs? That's a serious stretch. What is more worrisome to me is genetic engineering of flora (something which is already a practice), where somebody extracts DNA from an extinct plant species and fuses it with a plant currently in existence, thinking that they've benefitted the world in doing so, then it ends up doing something unpredictable and becomes an invasive species of flora, which has also happened (e.g., bamboo, kudzu).

I want more details. Are they wool or cashmere? I want pics.
My favorite wool socks are falling apart so I get to do a little X Mas shopping for myself and replace them. To me the only fun part of living in a snowy area is getting to wear booties and wool socks indoors. & Hot chocolate. That's about it. lol
