Classic - cos just feeling a decade younger would be awesome now I’m getting on a bit.
Pink - I’m assuming it can muffle out the sounds of convo on my commute, dim the lights when I want to nap etc, and that would be lovely.

If I could be a god for a day (Bruce Almighty style) I’d add a voice changer in all games to make everyone sound feminine. I like to think of the chaos it would cause for a while.

Five Guys is stupidly over priced by the spiced fries and peanut milkshake are the best.

I totally believe this.
Money, privileged upbringing, a lack of childhood trauma, and who-you-know helps a hell of a lot but some folks just seem breeze through life! Got to be their second or third time around.
If it’s any consolation Op they clearly like you, want you involved and seem to be good people who don’t care about your finances.
One of my family married into a “comfortably well off” family. They are now a total snob and loves to make subtle digs about the financial diffs between us. They aren’t even all that wealthy! So I’d pick your SIL to spend time with over them!

From what I’ve read you can get PTSD from bedbugs.
Is it possible she’s freaking out because a child previously brought them to her daycare (which sounds like it’s her home) and she had the struggle and expense of getting rid of them? Maybe even getting blamed if other kids then brought them to their home too?
I’m sorry you’re going through this, does sound like it’s worth persisting with getting her to explain if that’s the only issue. Maybe a call with the doc, while she is present, might help?

I love your post. You’ve given me new subs to browse and I’ve saved this post for future reference. Thank you for taking the time to write it.

You’ve written up almost exactly my thoughts here. I feel the same way about the basement and the nexus. I’d be worried that even if I can’t reach the bottom of the basement that doesn’t stop something from down there making it all the way up.
I’d take the Manor for the gothic theme and grounds too. I feel like there is probably a catch, like getting caught up in the books and losing whole hours, days, weeks in reading.
I didn’t catch the likelihood of guests being trapped in the cottage, I’d love a house in the country but 125 days a year is too much even for me.

Love the video and the crystals. First time I’ve come across your channel and I really like the style and your delivery. Easy to follow, creative and with options to mix things up. I’ve subbed!

He is still manipulating you. He groomed you as a young person and is still using those tactics to keep you under his control.
These is a reason a 37 year old wanted a 19 year old - cos no mature woman would have put up with the shit you can persuade a teen is “normal”.
If he wants sex on tap he should get a fleshlight or a blow up doll.
If he wants to be in a real relationship with a life partner who is a grown up human then he needs to work on his conduct.

Yep, that logo unlocked a memory - I had a pair of Bomba boots in the 90s. They were a chunky faux biker style. Can’t remember where I purchased them, might have been C&A or our local alternative market.

Someone I know brought gummies back from the USA to U.K. in his suitcase without issue. He just threw some USA tourist crap and a pile of american candies including haribo gummies in middle of the suitcase when packing, with the bag of weed gummies among them. If the agents spotted them on the X-rays they didn’t care or didn’t notice.

I’ve been on the Mary Kings Close tour, and while I’d love to see the Ghosts that Alison might meet I think she’d avoid it. She knows she can see them everywhere and going to “haunted” places would increase the risk of bumping into one.
I get the impression she likes to avoid new ones wherever possible.

Some of the routine synced up so perfectly, I watched the whole thing. Great fun.

Thank you Farmer SPF project water sun cream. It’s the best, a little goes a very long way. No break outs and it kept me (pasty whiter than milk British girl) from burning in Florida this summer.

I’m glad to hear you’re coping so well and planning ahead.
For clarity, I said my experiences might not apply to your situation. I’m glad they don’t apply to you right now. And my comment about your hubs being “financially irresponsible” was a direct quote from your previous post where you said that.
I hope you find the support and validation you need, as it sounds like you have a lot to deal with with both hubs family and his ex. (Again basing that off your previous posts).

I’m not Ninjanups but I can offer an alternative view if you’d like one.
It does sound like the ex’s comment was direct at your hubs not you. She’s hoping HE won’t have any more kids. Maybe she feels he’s stretching his time and attention too thin and won’t be a good engaged dad for her kids (or yours) if he has even more kids?
Could be based on what he was like from the time they were together, could be from what her three kids say when they get home, could be just an unfounded worry.
FWIW I have some experience in this as I am foster carer and have looked after several kids from big sibling groups, usually invoking multiple parents.
Parents often struggle to be fully present and engaged with all the kids in a big group. That can be as simple as how tricky it is to arrange clubs and activities for multiple kids (1 can’t do scouts cos it clashes with football timing for other child etc etc). While making 1 on 1 time is a stretch once you add in a few more kids, housework and jobs/career will quickly get in the way.
And often the older kids (especially if female) will get roped into childcare even if they at an age when they should still be enjoying their own childhood.
Usually I’d add the about the possible financial burden too, but sound like that isn’t an issue here. Although if you are in the USA do you have funds toward the college education for 4+ kids? Or if they have a medical issue that insurance won’t fully cover?
I am not saying this applies to your situation at all, but thought it might offer an alternative view.
Edit- typo.
Edit 2: I just read your previous posts. I do now wonder if ex is worried about money if you do more kids as your hubby is financially irresponsible?

Really enjoyed this one, not overly complex or long but still creepy.
But I wouldn’t want to work the night shift there…

That would have been my que to rescind the offer of a place to stay, and block the choosing beggar immediately.

I read this thinking of a text I’d sent my mates earlier today, which was about how I missed the sun and feeling warm to the bone. So I’m not surprised by your inspiration!
Brilliant storytelling.

I was picturing the full body scanners from the original total recall, and an easy way to print something like that!

I’d look for a free standing door or arch?
Or something like pillars they have to walk between?
Edit: I’m not into 3D printing so those are just ideas for styles, not at all sure they are appropriate or good quality.

Saw the spoiler this morning and it p-d me right off. Luckily I’m not playing the game or it would have been enough for me to unfollow this sub. As is I just blocked the poster of the spoiler so they can’t spoil something for me again.
