I keep my house very clean, and when the weather allows I open windows to let in fresh air. I also have reed diffusers throughout my house to add a little scent. IMO the key is to choose one scent for your whole house so that it smells cohesive, and to choose a scent that is mild, not too artificial or overwhelming. Right now I’ve got the Life in Lilac diffusers in Peppermint Bliss and they smell great. All I have to do is flip the reeds once a week.

You might also be going nose blind to the febreze plug-ins if the scent is disappearing after a couple of days.

I was gonna go with Sam Kinison but yours is way better.

Do you mind if I ask you - I’ve always been curious how anyone could join the military and not bother with politics. Don’t they want to know what they might be sent to fight for? Is it just blind trust that the government will use the military wisely, or is it being young and dumb and possibly poor, or is it the appeal of the GI bill? Or - you’ve mentioned Bush and I assume you mean W, not HW, and if so you must be roughly my age. Did they mostly join in response to 9/11?

Oh my goodness he’s so cute!! I bet he loves his Lamb Chop!

Agree with all three! Also the Laneige lasts forever, It’s what, 25 bucks? But it’ll last over a year.

May I see a pic of said good boy?

You can count on that

First of all, it’s great that you recognize unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior in yourself. That’s a great first step!

That said, a few thoughts:

• You’re not ready for a relationship - and I don’t say this to be mean, but you seem too immature for a relationship, especially one with the added challenges of being long-distance.
• Based on your responses to other comments, she is also too immature for a relationship.
• You created what’s called a ‘covert contract’ - meaning you had unspoken expectations which is almost a guarantee that the other person will let you down because you didn’t communicate with them. Unless both of you agree to plans, you don’t have plans.
• I think you need to shift your main source of socializing from the internet to IRL. The internet is great and everything but it’s not the same a real life, and I worry that too much internet socializing can stunt your real life social skills, making it harder to connect with people down the road.

You sound pretty young so I’m assuming some of this is just young kid angst and will smooth out over time. Good luck!

This looks very slick, but I hope it isn’t style over substance like Discovery was. Discovery was terrible but it sure did look nice. I’m keeping my expectations on the floor for this show.

Last book I read was Bee Speaker by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I normally love his stuff, and I loved both Dogs of War and Bear Head, but Bee Speaker was awful. Such a disappointment.

Currently I’m reading Old Man’s War by John Scalzi.

Oh man I loved This Is How You Lose The Time War!

Awww goober looks like a sweetheart 🤍

It looks like this has been deleted, but uou just posted a question in a parenting community asking how to talk to your son about puberty. He’s twelve. He needs personal space and privacy, and he definitely needs to be sleeping in his own bed. Imagine how awful and confusing it would be for him to have a wet dream while in bed with you.

Please set a boundary here for his own good. And get to the bottom of why he can’t sleep.

Also I feel like you’ve posted about this before?

Two claws, one arm

Please tell Emily she’s beautiful and give her noggin a scritch for me :)
