I have never heard of this "you must let your vagina air out" thing. I've never not worn underwear to bed.
Usually the same pair of underwear I was wearing that day, unless I shower before bed. I usually wear pajama bottoms and shirt, unless it's super warm, then only underwear and a shirt. I only wear a sleep bra if I'm PMSing and my boobs hurt.

I volunteer to help organize an art fair in my town. We want to have an app for the day-of that has a schedule of music performances, and a map of where vendors are located, etc. Maybe a page to highlight sponsors, link out to vendor social media, etc.
I'm on signage and advertising, but I have no idea how to build an app.
I watched Sunday and that episode was so incredibly depressing. It is shocking that there is absolutely zero oversight over the SC.
I'm so curious how he (John Oliver) can do this tho! Where is the money coming from? Or is he assuming it will never happen so it doesn't matter? (Does the WaPo article cover this? I didn't read it yet).
He said in the episode that he (not HBO) would pay.
After a surge in car-buying statewide at the height of the pandemic, there are signs that some Philadelphians ... have made the decision to do away with their cars in recent years, bucking larger trends.
my favorite comment I've seen was people talking about this and being like, "they're mummer shoes? why are they mummer shoes?!?" So philly. redheadbaker , was that something you posted on FB? or somewhere here? I just keep laughing every time i see them though.
(mummers being a new years day parade thing in philly. image for explanation)
Nope, wasn't me! But that's exactly what they are!
ETA: And I had to make a post about it now that you pointed it out, LOL.

I replace them when they need to be replaced. I don't pay attention to what part of the school year we're in. He's going to need them all summer anyway.

I think I have everybody beat with small district size, LOL. District covers .5 sq mile. The entire school district has less than 800 students (that's fewer students than my high school graduating class). One building (covering two square blocks) houses elementary on side (with one principal), middle and high school on the other (one principal for both), with the center link housing a community room, and principals' offices. We have a superindentent, no asst. superintendent. No buses.
DS walks to school with his best friend. Bad weather? Grab an umbrella.
Donald Trump is selling sneakers. Seriously, sneakers. Not for the campaign, not for charity. Just sneakers. For money. They are gold high tops (bc of course they are- like, dipped in bright gold) with an embellished T in the side and a US flag around the back.

We got a Gizmo watch first, and while it worked well at first, it stopped charging, no matter how many times we cleaned the contacts, adjusted how it sat on the charger, etc.
So, we bought him a Kyocera flip phone (not a smart phone).

I know this has come up before in discussions about saving for college.
Under SECURE 2.0, up to $35,000 in a 529 account to be rolled over to a Roth individual retirement account for the beneficiary of the 529 account if certain conditions are met (the 529 account must have been open for at least 15 years, and no contributions or earnings from the past five years can be transferred. Up to $35,000 can be transferred in total — but transfers are limited to the maximum annual Roth contribution, which in 2024 is $7,000 for people younger than 50).
When Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, stood on the House floor this month to announce her proposal to censure the only Somali-born member of Congress, she said she was seeking punishment for “Representative Ilhan Omar of Somalia — I mean Minnesota.”
Earlier that same week, Representative Troy Nehls, Republican of Texas, called the Black husband of another Democratic woman of color, Representative Cori Bush of Missouri, a “thug.” He then said Ms. Bush, who is also Black, had received so many death threats because she was “so loud all the time.”
At a hearing across the Capitol, Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, grilled the chief executive of TikTok, Shou Chew, about his nation of origin. Mr. Cotton repeatedly demanded to know whether Mr. Chew, who is from Singapore and of Chinese descent, was Chinese, held a Chinese passport or was a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
“No, senator — again, I’m Singaporean,” Mr. Chew responded with agitation after saying several times that he was not Chinese.
Around the same time, House Republicans released their report on impeachment charges against Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the Cuban-born homeland security secretary who is the first Latino to lead his department. Using unusually loaded language for a committee report, the panel described its action as “deporting Secretary Mayorkas from his position.”
In private, the language was uglier. During a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, Representative Mark E. Green, Republican of Tennessee and the panel’s chairman, referred to Mr. Mayorkas as a “reptile with no balls” because of his refusal to resign from his post, according to Politico. A White House official condemned the statement, noting that Mr. Mayorkas is Jewish and that the comment echoed an antisemitic trope.

Yes, he is a great caretaker. Sometimes he worries about my health more than I do. When I had my wisdom tooth removal, he made sure I took my meds and had soft foods.
If I’m sick, he’ll let me sleep in and he will get DS up for school, give him breakfast, pack his lunch, etc. He does more cleaning than I do even when I feel fine …

I guess because of my job, but we live in the the particular borough that we're in because the apartment we moved to didn't have dog breed restrictions.

I almost miss the "old days" where you had to wait for your doctor to call you with blood test results. Now, I get a notification and can see the results in my online chart, but have no idea what they mean, so I'm googling.

H trimmed the fat off a cut of pork, and gave the trimmings to the dogs. I came home from work the next day to puddles of dog diarrhea EVERYWHERE. Of course, on the night of the week that he had to stay late at work (he worked at a school at the time, running an after-school social skills program). I was also pregnant at the time.
ETA: I do not clean up vomit. If I tried to, there'd just be twice as much vomit for H to clean up.
My job is collaborative. And even with me returning to office, it's going to remain collaborating remotely because my colleagues are spread all over the country. So why the fuck should I have to return to the office?
So, yeah, I'm going to keep fucking whining about it.
Sorry not sorry that I didn't explicitly say that we collaborate in person. I would've thought "it's very job and company specific" covered that but apparently not.
So, you post about your specific office's situation and tell "general" society to stop whining about RTO?
But we have collaborative jobs. The work isn't one person doing a thing by themselves. So I think it's pretty evident why the above is all true for us. It's very job and company dependent and painting broad strokes either way is foolish. Some jobs are better done remotely. Some jobs are better done in person. Some companies will make you work in person no matter what; others are fully remote. Can we stop debating it and whining about it (general we as a society) and just let everyone find a job that fits what they want?
Seriously?

He knows that I **hate** having blood drawn. It's always an ordeal b/c I have awful veins yet no phlebotomist believes me when I tell them. If it's just a test or two, I'm ok, but if it's going to be a lot, I don't even have to ask him to come with me -- he asks what day the appointment is and requests off.
On the days we are both working from home, he makes me breakfast. He knows I like my scrambled eggs a little on the runny side and lots of butter on my English muffin.
If I look frazzled in the morning, he asks what he can take off my plate. If I'm stressed out, he'll pick up peanut butter chocolate ice cream as a treat for me.

We can only afford to send DS 4 days a week for 7 out of the 9 weeks with no before or after care -- that alone is $3.7K. Thank goodness at least H or I will be working at home each day of the week (stupid return to office mandate ) and both of my parents are retired, so he could go there for the day if needed.
So...how does it work? do you actually eat them together? Are you dipping your cinnamon rolls in the chili like naan bread in your chicken tikka or are they just served at the same time and don't touch? Also what style of chili? is it more texas (mostly meat) or the essentially bean stew they do most other place?
I'm not usually fussy about foods mixing, but I can't make that much sugar make sense in my head with chili. But I love cinnamon rolls. and I love chili. I could be convinced.
I dip it in the chili (meat and beans type chili but any would probably work). It's not complicated.
