For everyone saying they have their husband in there with husband for an emergency situation make sure you are listing them as emergency contacts in your medical ids (for those with iPhones). They can be accessed without even needing to unlock your phone and leaves no question as to who should be called.
Thank you! I’m reading through these thinking about how that is an option now. Android phones have it, too. I set it up on H’s phone, but I don’t remember how (we are a mixed phone family). But for *YEARS* H has been in my phone as Name - Spouse. Because everything transferred from my flip phone, when it was good to label your in case of emergency person.

@noodeloo lavenderblue Ok so I don't think the haircut I wanted is called a clavicle cut? I had a different stylist call it that and assumed that's what it was called. I can't seem to post a picture, but here's a link to what I actually wanted, just cut closer to my shoulders/clavicle bone instead of my chin because I like to pull my (long) hair back
Next time I'll show a picture of exactly what I want since that seems to have the best results.
I have a few contacts in my phone as "First name my brother's name friend" as they were my points of contacts the last few months. I'll say it's kind of annoying to have such a long contact. I typically reserve first name last name (and/or profession) to professional contacts such as co-workers or folks in my dad's care team that I talk too a lot. My friends are mostly just their first name, or nick name. I have one friend though still under her maiden name, and she got married in 2016. Look, you get one name with me unless you have a bad situation in which you need to change it later (divorce etc.)
ETA: Well you get one name with me...but also I'm #oldz and hate trying to figure out how to add/adjust a contact, so you stay in their as whatever I felt when I added you, lol.
Finally I once upset someone when I pointed out that they "really do" give directions by Dunkin Donuts locations. To be fair in certain parts of MA, NH etc. there is a Dunkin about every 2 miles, and/or sometimes one across the street from the other because of the way the highway is set up or something.

I'm listening to a podcast and the person speaking said "flip phone" while I was reading this post. So weird to have it mentioned in two places at once!
I guess I need to figure out how to set up emergency contacts in my phone. I have my H as first name/last name (Husband) and same with my parents. My H was initially set up with a last name in my phone since I already had a good friend with the same first name so I had to put both their last names in. My friend is higher up alphabetically so I can't tell you how many times I've typed in my H's name to call him and almost called my friend.

Along the lines of contact names, life was easier when we all had AIM screen names that matched our personalities, lol. I started thinking about them because I saw a meme of different AIM away messages by Taylor Swift TTPD song lyrics and then remembered how my college days consisted of getting a SN rather than a phone number, lol.
Maybe it was just me being Taylor Swift before it was trendy, but I had a few SN changes after break ups...better than getting bangs? lol
Sorry about your H. Is he looking for another job?
Not yet. He's hoping that as he now has a new boss above him (he's had an interim who has ignored him for the last 9 months), that things might be better.
I have a ton of people listed in my phone by first name and activity. Like “Sally Fencer” or “Beth Concerts”.
I have so many people in my phone with the formula "Julie Susie's mom" that it has made it hard to locate my own mom in my contacts LOL.
I once put a neighbor's full name in my phone (after I finally knew her well enough to know what both her first and last names were) only to realize that she was already in there with her first name and her daughter's name. So like "Nancy Ella's Mom".
I currently have names like "Ellen MiddleSchool Theatre" and several first-names-only contacts.
Had a pretty chill day of walking through the Borough Market and the Tate Modern. Rested our legs in the hotel for a bit, now dinner at Nando’s and then we’re going to see Wicked! I got slightly discounted tickets from TKTS, but they’re still 1/2 the price of what it would be to see it on tour in Dallas. Crazy.
You'll love it! And yes, I love that theatre over here is not over the top expensive.

I have my husband saved in my phone as First Name “Baby Baby” Last Name and then a bunch of So and So’s Parent.
This conversation reminds me of something I saw a few weeks ago. This woman went viral on TikTok for sharing how she created an evite for her daughter’s first birthday, and imported her contacts, thinking it would let her scroll through and select. But instead it sent out invites to people exactly how they were saved in her phone (including, hilariously, ones like “hot guy from the bar”). 😂😂😂

H has a dog and heart emoji in with my first and last name (I think he just had the dog at first bc I dog sat for him before we started dating) because his sister has the same name and he wanted to be real careful lol
I tried to get Savannah Bananas tickets this morning through my college alumni association. They had a block that went on sale at 7 am. I was logged in, had my payment information saved, and was refreshing the page at 7 am. I still missed out. I guess because I took an extra couple seconds to think about whether I should get extra tickets for friends.
I'm still in the main ticket lottery, which probably won't go on sale till July. But after this morning, I'm not holding my breath. Crazy!
My friend who lives in Illinois, just returned from Arizona JUST TO SEE THE SAVANNAH BANANAS. Her name was drawn from some lottery and she jumped on it. I think she is nuts but then again, we all do silly stuff.
H suggested we hire someone to come organize for us. It’s the biggest stressor in my life right now-I feel that if we were just more organized it would he so much easier for all of us to get things done around the house so I stop being a bitch about it to everyone. H and I obviously suck at it so I’m willing to pay someone to help. I also need someone to make non emotional decisions. We don’t live in a huge place but we do have decent storage and shelving options. I need a Marie Kondo-ing badly.

Hope you're having a great time!! Look forward to hearing how the rest of the trip goes!
Am I the only person who doesn't have some cutesy nickname and a bunch of emoji's for my significant other in their phone? When did this become a thing? #getoffmylawn
Like, who else even sees what you name people? Are you sharing your phone a lot?
DH is only Name-Hubs because I also have his parents in there as Name Mom and Name Dad and my car is stupid and can't figure out who I want to call if I use voice controls.
My husband is in there under his full name with (husband) after it.
Like. The total opposite of cutesy.
Mine doesn’t even have anything after it. Just his first and last name just like anyone else!

I don't think I am close to you, but I would love to organize for you.
While you look for someone, if you can, try to get rid of some stuff. I like to make it a little game. Every day on the weekend and in the summer, I try to find at least 10 things a day to get rid of (donate, give away, recycle or trash if it's junk). I think starting small makes it seem less daunting. It might be just going through a stack of papers and recycling them.

I would love to hire someone do this for us. Imagine having a single place for everything. 😳

Oh Lila, I would LOVE to help you!!! Wish we lived closer.
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus

The nice thing about being a hockey parent is that I first learn who the kids are by the last name on their jerseys and their first name is actually a challenge for me. So by the time I might know a parent well enough to put them in my phone, I know their last name better than I know their kid’s first name.
DS's baseball game tonight was not good. He was moody, moping, didn't hustle at all. His coaches kept trying to encourage him, and he gave minimal effort. My parents drove 45 minutes to come watch him, too. He said afterward he wasn't feeling well (was coughing a little and said his throat hurt when he coughed). He was just sick two weeks ago with a random fever, can he really be sick again? He's never been one to get sick a lot. Anyway, I'm sure what I am about to say will be unpopular, but I was very embarrassed by his behavior at the game, sick or not. I know you're all going to say that he's a kid and I shouldn't feel this way, but in most situations it seems like he's the only one like this, that needs so much prompting, and I'm frustrated and it's hard to watch.
I reached out to my old therapist because I can't do this anymore. I shouldn't have to be anxious about my kid's behavior at a baseball game, I should just be able to enjoy it, right?! What the fuck is wrong with me.
I gave DS some Motrin and cough syrup and I hope he'll be alright after some rest. Hoping he's just a little run down or something. He just missed 2 days of school two weeks ago, and there are only 17 days left! I don't want him to miss any more school :/
