Cute bed time qoutes

For a little back story, I met my wife 5 years ago. I’ve always been a very sexual person and at first she seemed to be the same. We had sex quite often and did you know that melatonin deactivates birth control? Anyways we had a kid and got married. Even before she got pregnant our sex life had began to slow down and now it’s basically non existent. I started feeling emasculated after I noticed that she had never initiated sex I started to hint to her by sending TikTok’s about how it’s nice for a guy when his woman initiates sexy time and when I asked her if she watched it she laughed about it. Before the wedding we had some troubles and I suggested that we write a list of what we need from each other to be happy. I shit you not, this woman spent 3 pages tearing apart my worst insecurities. My weight, my sexual endurance, and much more that I can’t quite remember. My list consisted of my emotional needs and my sexual needs and how I felt about her never initiating and the effects it’s having on me. On our wedding night I promised myself I wouldn’t initiate and that was the only time she’s ever initiated in 5 years.
I say all that to get to the point that my mental state has taken a dive and it’s affecting my work and motivation to be better. It might all be in my head but I feel like I’m not enough for her in bed and that’s why she never initiates. Another important note is that fully bricked up I might be 4 1/2”-5”. Not the best but I’ve bought a sleeve that adds length and a lot of girth in hopes that she would want more sex but it didn’t.
Now to my resolve. I need to get my confidence back and I need to feel like a man again. In some reflection I realized when I was having more sex I felt I could conquer the world and if I can’t please her then we need to find a “friend” who can. I’d prefer it be another woman to bring in at first until I feel like a man again and then, once my mental state is back to normal, if she wants, maybe a guy “friend”, or even another couple, can join us.
I don’t want it to seem like I want to cheat on her or just sleep with someone else because that is truly not my goal. I just simply can not take the constant self doubt anymore. And honestly the thought of something new intrigues me.
I know this post is all over the place but that’s how my mind has been. If you read all of it then thank you and I would love to hear any positive feedback. Please don’t attack me and tell me I’m a bad guy for wanting to be happy.

Any gender, I just think this nickname is really cute but I'm having a hard time thinking of names that reasonably go with it, other than Ruby and Rupert

So I figured I did not need a truck all the time but do want to do dump runs hall gravel, dirt, etc for yard projects and found this old truck bed, grabbed a tow hitch and some truck nuts for my Subaru and we’re off.
But now I want to add breaks or replace / convert the breaks to a cheap electric alternative. Figured a shitty mechanic has to have a sketchy cheap trailer break solution for my hillbilly trailer.
Currently the old drum breaks look rusted, while I figure out what to do with the breaks ive been coating the rest of trailer in ospho rust converter hoping it does not evaporate away.

I apologize if my grammar and punctuation is non existent I’m too in shock to care
So today I found my dad hunched over on his knees near his bed clutching his chest cold and dead today I’m assuming he had a heart attack cause that’s what it looked like from how he was positioned back on Wednesday night he wasn’t feeling too hot he was throwing up and I thought he was just sick but the next morning he collapsed and me and my grandma called an ambulance for him but he refused to go since he’s hard headed but anyway we believe he essentially went into cardiac arrest cause he has high blood pressure and his diet is awful and he drinks like a fish but moving on he basically had all the telltale signs of cardiac arrest such as being super sore and he could barely see anything along with chest pains but last night i was taking care of him and he was complaining again about his chest and I begged him to let me take him to the hospital and he denied again that’s the last time I saw him alive I was then woken up by my grandma at 2 in the afternoon coming home saying she hadn’t seen him all day so I went to check on him fearing the worst and found him dead next to his bed he’d been dead a few hours by then he was cold and his face was blue and the worst bit is he died in pain he didn’t even get to go in his sleep which kills me I tried to give him CPR just hoping it might somehow work but Rigor Mortis had already set in so I knew he was dead I wasn’t the closest with my dad but he was the only parent I had left and now he’s gone I’m super angry at him for denying us getting him healthcare and leaving me and my siblings alone like this my grandma only has so much time left on this earth and now my little siblings are not gonna have a father figure in their lives anymore I just don’t know what to do or how to even begin to try to get over his death any help would be appreciated sorry for typing so much I just tend to ramble.

I like dressing up my furbaby chihuahua with cute clothes and saw Voghion app. I fancied one cute pink winter coat and thinking of buying it but not sure if it will arrive on time for our event. Has anyone bought some before?

This is the third time he's just started binkying while I clean his litter box. Its really so cute but I wonder what thats about.
Does he understand what I'm doing?

Hey guys. I play hockey multiple times per week and have had an issue with my knee for years. It's very hard to pinpoint the lain but I can replicate it pretty easily two ways:

1. Laying in bed and lifting my leg while bent. If I straight my leg in the air I get a sharp pain. It goes away once my knee is fully extended.
   
2. Any squat or motion where I'm pushing off. I get this pain a little less intense than when I'm extending it while laying which is odd. It generally gets better as games go on though idk if it's adrenaline or me simply not noticing as much. It feels pretty hit and miss. Sometimes it awful but sometimes it's not terrible. The first fee minutes of every game it feels like my leg is so unstable though.
   

I got an MRI years ago and the only thing it revealed was capsular strain attachment injury. I play at a fairly high level and this is really getting difficult to deal with. Any ideas on what it could be? The doctor I saw just kept insisting nothing was wrong with my knee. I've dealt with this for a few years and a physical therapist I spoke to at one point thought it could be just knee muscle weakness.

I (F19) am 6 DPO (days post ovulation) and have been having intriguing dreams. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for several months. I know I am young, and I ask no one blabber on about it. However my biological clock is ticking, we have our own house vehicles etc, we’re stable and I have wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. I have been having odd dreams the last few nights. I am a vivid dreamer and tend to dream every single time I sleep, always remembering most of the dream. I mostly have bad dreams as I have CPTSD. But the last few days have been different. I have had dreams about baby bunnies, baby hamsters, and baby koalas. In the rabbit/hamster dream, I was at some kind of hangout spot of what I can only describe as similar to a secret society, everyone there was very caring and all called eachother family. I was walking with my little cousin who just turned 14 a couple days ago, I have always been very motherly towards him and close, we talk almost everyday. We go down a path where there are real bushes in flower beds but they’re indoors. All the sudden little black baby bunnies start to spring back and forth across the path, ducking in and out of the bushes. My cousin tells me in the dream he hopes I get pregnant soon and I can have “baby bunnies” of my own. We hugged and continued to watch them jump about. The hamster dream took place in this little pizza shop I used to work in. They had renovated the location(they were expecting renovations the year I stopped working there, I’ve never seen them) the lobby area was filled wall to wall with aquarium tanks filled with hamsters. My husband loves hamsters, so we began to look closely at all the tanks and were laughing and giggling like little kids watching them jump around and play. We bend over and peek into one of their little hides and see two hamsters caring for a fresh litter of babies. We talked about how sweet it was to watch the parents of the babies sniff at them and nuzzle them. My husband goes to order our pizza and I turn around and see one singular tank of more baby bunnies. (I am more of a “rabbit” person but in both dreams I called them bunnies, not rabbits) they are huddled all in a pile together, sleeping. I asked an employee where their parents were, as they were obviously too small to be away from their mother. They told me they had none. I began to get very sad for them being motherless, knowing they likely would not survive. I teared up and told the baby bunnies it was all going to be okay and not to be scared. My husband hugged me and we left. The koala dream, I was walking down a dirt path, as if I were in Australia. I’m not sure what I was doing there but as im walking down the trail, several baby koalas fall from the sky into my arms. I catch them and begin to nurture them. Saying the same things I said to the rabbits at the pizza place. Telling them they will be okay, that I’ve got them now and not to worry that I will take care of them. They were in distress, wiggling and squirming about, after I soothed them they calmed and began to snuggle into my chest. What do these dreams mean? Are they any sort of sign maybe this is finally our month? Mothers, what were your dreams like before finding out you were pregnant?

I have recently converted my tank to run with a larger sump pump. I have had some corals growing for some time and now with the new sump they seem to be taking a step backwards. I did use a metal hose clamp to secure my return hose. It didn’t hit me until now but, is there a chance this is causing my corals to die?
Parameters seem to be checking out maybe a little high on the phosphate (0.07) nitrates in the .5 range, ph 8.3, dkh at 9, calcium at 390, ammonia 0. Lights have been consistent
My other thought is to rent a par meter to check and see if I am blowing out my soft corals with light, though they are on the sand bed.
Some of the corals seem to be really thriving where others have shriveled up and starting to die.

May 13th is an anniversary for me. That day, in 2008, I tried to break up a bar fight & woke up 2 weeks later in a hospital bed. My skull was fractured & I had severe brain trauma. My right ear was left 100% deaf, with non-stop tinnitus resulting from the torn auditory nerve connecting my brain to my ear. I had lots of other issues too, like not being able to walk, swallow easily, strong memory issues, no sense of taste or smell, etc. So tinnitus was just part of the mix of health hassles overwhelming me. With time, medication and therapy, all those issues were resolved, leaving only my deaf ear and the tinnitus as long-term problems.
At first, the constant high-pitched squeal made it very difficult for me to get to sleep. My audiologist recommended that I try using a noise machine. By listening to sounds like white noise, the sounds of the beach, rain, etc, my brain would have something else to focus on beside the tinnitus screech. The machine helped to distract my mind on a soft neutral sound as I fell asleep. It worked very well and I recommend using one of these for new tinnitus sufferers. After a few months, I was able to gradually turn down the volume of the noise machine and finally I was able to sleep without a machine.
It has been 16 years since I heard true absolute silence- proof that you don't miss something until it's gone! Since 2008, no matter where I go and how totally quiet a place may be, I still hear that tinnitus squeal. Yes, it can be very frustrating, very distracting and emotionally challenging. But I came to accept this annoying distraction as a part of surviving my brain injury.
I do not get depressed, saddened or angry over suffering from it- it does zero good at all to struggle emotionally against what cannot be changed- why choose to make yourself suffer even more? So I am now at peace with this condition, though it took me a few years. And yeah, over time, since tinnitus is a constant, I have become relatively less aware of it, the buzz often fading from my awareness when I listen to music or watching a film, just another background noise that at times you can become more are of. People who grew up near a busy airport compare it to that experience.
Since in my case tinnitus is combined with traumatic hearing loss from a brain injury, being deaf in one ear while constantly hearing the electric buzz of my torn auditory nerve all combines into one hearing loss mess for me. Being half-deaf with tinnitus creates auditory interference with the hearing in my good ear- the tinnitus buzz is often louder than the voice of someone that I am talking with. Overtime, I have instinctively learned to walk and sit strategically, so that I attempt to place myself with my good ear pointed towards whomever I am with.
The volume of the tinnitus squeal is automatically as loud as my environment, matching the volume of whatever I am hearing through my good ear. So when I am at a loud restaurant, at a disco or anywhere noisy, my brain attempts to match the volume of what it perceives as is being heard from both ears. So the volume of the tinnitus is as loud as the concert or party where I find myself, making communications difficult.
Well, I just wanted to share all this with all my fellow tinnitus sufferers. For those of you who are new to this experience, it is never something good, but over time it tends to fade into the background as a constant annoyance that you learn to cope with, though of course at times it does frustrate more than others. For other long-term patients, well, I just wanted to share my perspective and experience, which may or may not overlap with your own. I send a big hug to everyone in the tinnitus community.

hey everyone this is my first time posting!
finally got diagnosed as N1 after many many years of being the sleepiest person everyone knew. I’m currently in nursing school and have (well.. it’s about to be past tense.. “had”) a full time job at a private physicians office. absolutely wonderful I love working there— especially because the hours are great, they start clinic at 11am or 12pm. unfortunately the business is no longer doing so great so they are cutting my hours by A LOT. So, basically I have been job hunting to see what works for my schedule and looking for something that doesn’t hit me with a huge pay cut but as I am looking through these jobs they are all either times I have almost an impossible time waking up (7am start times) or the ones that work with my schedule (overnight 7pm-7am) but seem terrible for my sleep health.
what times does everyone start work? anyone with n1/n2/ih work overnight shifts? I am tempted to work overnight shift but I don’t think that is healthy long term especially for narcoleptics. I can’t fathom waking up so early to work, I was always that one employee who was extremely late— it was nearly impossible for me to keep jobs.
I would love to know what your routine is to get out of bed and be at work 7am if that’s close to your start time. Or if you work overnight, do you feel like it is detrimental?
any med/nursing students I would love to hear some words of encouragement!!! this is starting to feel like it will simply be impossible for me to live and work a normal life.

My Step Dad purposefully ruined my $900 prom dress by washing it! Is there anything I can do such as take legal?
​
Edit: Sorry for some reason Reddit took my original post down. This is my first time using Reddit
’ve never posted on here, but I really need advice because I’m so distraught and have no clue what I should do I’m only 17 and don’t know if there’s any legal action I can take. So for a little background I live with my bio mom and her husband since my dad and mom separated and were never married. I originally lived with my dad since I was 2 he won custody during the custody battle. However he later lost custody of me after having a bad work accident that made him paralysed and he wouldn’t be able to take care of me but I still see him every weekend and the whole summer. I moved in with my mom and her husband and their two sons ,1 stepbrother and 1 half brother, when I was 10. And ever since then my stepdad basically directly and indirectly says that I’ve disrupted their lives by coming back into my mother’s life, because I’m an extra person they have to take care of.
I’ve been working since I was in 10th grade and saving up for my senior yeacollege since last year with the money from my job since my mom and her husband let me know that only my mom would only help me with the basics such as my graduation cap and gown, senior dues, and senior class photo. Anything else I would have to pay for myself such as prom.
I get paid about $400 every two weeks from my job which Ive been saving in full, and then making extra money doing nails about $100 a week plus tip which I use as my spending money. Since it’s my senior and last year of high school I’ve been wanting to go all out for prom so I set a $800 budget for my prom dress. My prom is in April and I wanted to get my prom dress early since most of the actual cute ones sell out quick. So I went prom dress shopping in December and found a beautiful dress that’s costed $890. It’s dark green with a long train with rhinestone imbedded into it with glitter in the dress.
When I first showed my mom and stepdad the dress they asked how much it was, which I told them the amount and my mom said that she wouldn’t be paying for a dress that expensive which I replied it’s okay because I have more than enough money saved up to buy it, and I’ll still have a lot of money left over (23k to be exact but only my mom knows that) mom said I could get the dress and that it was very pretty, however my stepdad said that it’s irresponsible and a waste of money and I should use it for better things like helping out the family and paying some of the bills. And get a dress cheaper that’s max $300. Mind you both his son’s own PS5 and multiple $200+ shoes.
Long story short my mom disagreed with him and I ended up getting the dress in the end and she even put $150 toward it.
However ever since then he constantly brings up that I help pay for things around the house since I have so much money to throw away but my mom always shuts it down saying that I work hard for my money to save it and I already help about with paying the Netflix, Amazon prime, and Hulu bills while my step brother (18) don’t pay anything.
Anyway last Saturday we got into a really big disagreement because my stepdad suggested I should help my step brother pay for his prom to which I responded with no. He later called me selfish and said that it’s not fair that I get an expensive outfit while he doesn’t. And I guess I said with in a snarky way I responded with that’s not my child or my problem. He later tried to complain to my mom and she said that I was right and that if anything he should pay for his own prom.
Well today when I woke up from a nap I noticed my prom dress was missing from my closet since it’s in the very front of my closet and looked around for it. I then asked my stepdad if he has seen it since my mother was at work. And he said he had, and in fact he was washing it, while giving me a condescending smile. I immediately ran downstairs and saw my dress being washed on the heavy duty cycle I immediately cancel it and it was ruined. Majority of my rhinestones came out and the glitter was washed out the whole dress had been mangled.
I took one look at it and then threw it a trash bag and left for my friends house with the dress. I texted my mom and sent her pictures but I’m currently at my friends house and laying on her bed. My friends parent hanged it outside to allow it to air dry so my stepdad can’t put the blame on them if the dried it in the dryer. What makes me know he did to spite me because he never washes clothes, cooks or anything since “he’s the man of the house so he shouldn’t have to”, so there was no viable reason he could have for washing it, even if it needed washing.
Is there anything I can do? I know neither of them can replace being they are tough financial situation? I’ll update you guys when mom gets home. So far my stepdad has called 2x but I haven’t answered him. And my mom’s at work and can’t receive calls.

My heart hurts for you. Get him to admit it over text then file small claims court.

OOP: He’s not gonna admit I don’t think imma try to get audio but we also have cameras with audio imma try and use them when my mom gets off

I didn’t see this suggested, but since you’re paying for the streaming services, change your passwords and log out all devices. Giant toddlers don’t get their tanties rewarded with their stepkid’s Netflix.

It would be a dastardly shame if Step Dad's favorite shoes were accidentally left on the porch in the snow all night.

Update - 1 day later

Edit 1:I don't know how to add updates so imma just add an edit but my mom and me just got off the phone and she's pissed and otw home. She's currently otw home so me and my friend and her dad are otw to my house and my mom said she was gonna call the cops as soon as she get off the phone so they may be there by the time I get there. We've taken pictures and the uncle (my mom brother) will be over there by 8 bc I contacted him while at work. I've listened to all your suggestions about withdrawing my money out of my account so I thinking and I talked to my dad about that as well and told me I can stay with him
Edit/Update 2:When I got home my friend stayed in the car while her dad walked me in, and my step dad was already gone. However police were at the house. As of now police said they can’t really arrest him because it’s not like he broke the law of stealing (I don’t know how to explain it basically this theft isn’t breaking the law bc he washed it and didn’t keep it) they suggested I can get a confession and get him to pay or take him to small claims court. Also the dress is non refundable if damaged so I can’t return it or anything. While explaining to my mom what happened I kinda fumbled my words and started crying and she hugged me as I cried. And she said that he’s gonna pay for this, this financial issue has actually been a on going disagreement and I think he just pulled the last straw bc she is PISSED. Also I talked to my uncle and he’s actually off work and over his way over here.
Him and my stepdad apparently have a rough history since my dad has had a smart mouth towards him in the past. While explaining to my uncle what happened he said that it would be alright and if anything he’ll buy back the dress before it sells out, so I’ll have my dress by prom but he does expect my step dad to pay me back one way or another so I’m basically probably gonna get my dress for free. Maybe that’s a little win. I’ll update more probably later tonight. But things seem to be good.
Edit: Also to clear up some confusion I pay the streaming service bills bc I really want to watch the shows on those services and my mom works hard but doesn’t make enough to have those services on top so I’ve offer to pay them so we could have them. She not a horrible “I’ll pick my husband over you” mother and she always defend me and he’s never pulled a stunt like this just tries to convince her to control my money and savings. And she’s never spent my saving either. I feel like thats why they always clash because he has a mindset of we have all these financial troubles and your daughter could solve them with her savings and you have access to them.
Edit/Update 4: Okay so my uncle came over and he and my mom had a little argument bc he blamed her for enabling my stepdads behaviour by not leaving him and thats why he felt comfortable to do what he did. And she argued back saying she always defended me against him and has never taken any of my money (which is true). We all talked about it a bit and she revealed that last night they had actually had a argument about paying off a car payment because she made a comment about how all these bills are taking a toll on her, and he made a comment about how it wouldn’t be that much of a toll if she used my savings and didn’t allow me to spend it on foolishness and she got mad and defensive bc he keeps bringing it up.
He also said that the $900 I spent could’ve payed off that car payment for the next 2 months. Btw he only know about my savings because he know how’s much I get paid and that I’ve been saving all of it. So we think that’s what triggered him to throw my dress in the washer.
My mom and stepdad has also been texting back and fourth and he admitted that he washed it to teach me a lesson that I shouldn’t spend that much money on a dress that can be destroyed that easily but he put the setting on heavy duty so he obviously intended to destroy it. My uncle has also offered to replace the dress so I don’t need to worry about not getting to wear my special dress. We called the boutique and explained it to them and they say they can order another dress although it won’t be there until Feb 23 which fine tbh.
My mother sent my step dad a long threatening message basically calling him out shes kinda heated rn so imma try and ask for a screenshot later. Her and my father also spoke and decided that it’d be best that I get my own bank account so that my step dad can’t use the excuse that she has access to my account so that’s also great. My mom and I had a talk about what gonna happen after this and she said shes not sure as of just yet bc it’s all a little too much for her bc she seriously contemplating leaving him, but i guess she don’t wanna actively discuss that right now. Also my stepdad is currently at a friends house. I’ll continue to update possibly may get one tomorrow. My friends parent are gonna keep the dress over their house and imma pick it up tomorrow to have as proof.
Edit:I apologise for not being to update since Reddit took down my post because of a “no walls text rule” that I was unaware of but it’s all good now
Edit/Update 5: My uncle has transferred me $1000 for my prom dress and I’m actually planning on using the money for replace the dress and buy new shoes. He’s very well off, which was one reason I contacted him in the first place.
So I plan on just calling the boutique and seeing if they can reorder it and I’ll just pick it up from there sometime in February. However my step-dad still must pay in some form, or at least we are trying to get him to. My uncle has called my other uncles and aunts (with my permission) to basically vent about the situation.
So majority of my mom side who all live in GA knows about what happened. I woke up to a lot of text about the situation given sympathy, as well as money to have for prom which have totalled to about $300. So this is great. My mom has also contacted my step-in-laws who then spread the news with pictures and I guess most of them are shocked as well other than his mother his is buying his claim that it’s just a dress and it was a accident despite evidence. I got a call from my step-dad sister sympathising for me.
And through conversations with I learned that my step-dad has also been asking a lot of his family to help him with his finances. Because for some reason the dude has bought so many things to pay off he can’t keep up with them.
My mom called my step-dad for answers which we recorded. And he’s basically trying to blame her bc if she didn’t piss him off last night then he wouldn’t have done it. And that he was trying to show me why I shouldn’t be irresponsible with money bc I guess he planned to lecture afterwards.
Also my mom has broken up with him bc he blamed her for caring more about me than him, which is weird. Which ensured in a argument with her saying “you think i care about her more than you, your gonna see just how much I do”
Also they’ve been on a rocky relationship since he can’t manage money and this was her breaking point.

Just saw this update!! Now that you have the text, please show the police as confession as destruction of property and/or take him to court to pay for it. It’s not fair to your uncle. Once you get your step dad to pay up, you can pay your uncle back. Girl Good luck!

What your step-dad did is called malicious mischief and is a crime. With the confessions and proof, there probably is a case. Just know that because of the monetary value, it's most likely just a misdemeanor charge. Regardless, you definitely have a small claims case against him. Sadly, by the sounds of his financial affairs, you'll be lucky if he ever pays, but it's still worth pursuing. Good luck!

Update - same day later

Edit/Update 6: Sorry to post on here Reddit keep telling me to try again later so sorry again
Okay so a lot of bs has transpired. Firstly we’ve place an order for my dress, and they are shipping it now and it should be at the boutique by Feb 23 so all that is taken care of. My SD and mom are officially broken up and my mom said she doesn’t now if she’ll move on with divorce proceedings yet bc everything is still fresh and lawyer are expensive and she can’t afford it rn.
Also they have a prenup so they don’t share assent and the house is my mother dad house she inherited (she had a different dad than all her siblings and all her siblings share a dad).
So my step father showed back up with his brother after a while and my step father decided to do and buy me a new dress from Macy that looks similar to dress in color and length but it’s very tacky and ugly. And look nothing like the original.
He then tried to apologise and said it wasn’t his intention to ruin the dress. he said that he was simply gonna wash it and say “see this is why you don’t buy things like this” and then he would’ve bought me another dress…. But that’s make absolutely no sense.
Also my uncle came back to my house after I texted him my step dad came back (he was at the store) and they got into a big argument where basically my uncle demanded to know why he destroyed the dress
And my step dad said he not gonna walk up in his house demanding shit, and my uncle called him a bitch. And then my SD said to call him a bitch again which he did and they ended up fighting. (My SD lost) he threatened to call the cops but we reminded him that he swung first
After that my step dad went on a tirade and cussed us out and left and took the dress with him.
We are actually planning on taking y’all advice and taking him to small claims court given the evidence and the damage. And hopefully we win. Also my SD is staying at his parents house currently.
Lastly for all curious about my brothers they are 15 (half) and 18 (step) .The 15 was at his girlfriend house since Friday so he wasn’t home for any of the commotion but did reach out to me today, I love him so much. And the 18 year basically sided with his dad so that all there is to say.
Also those who suggested changing the streaming’s passwords I have change them. And me and my mom are gonna get me my own bank account later today. Thank you guys for all the support I’ll continue to update as thing come and our plans of action and the verdict and all

I am not the OOP. Please do not harass the OOP.
Please remember the No Brigading Rule and to be civil in the comments

We met over a year ago (Jan 2023), and we just kinda clicked. We became a sort of duo, we'd stay up all night on 12 hour calls playing games for weeks straight. We've had our ups and downs, but it seems shes always been kind of hot and cold. We are online friends so being secretive is obvious. But she used to get mad at me over little things, and I would do the same.
Shes brilliant tho. To be honest it's like she has everything figured out for her life. And I don't think we'd mix well because I have zero idea of what I want to do. But I'm scared of losing her as well. I've never had so much fun with someone before. I realized I had feelings for her after we had a conversation. She didn't tell me why but she told me she'd disappear in 3-4 years. It broke my heart. I'm not a very social person, so when I find someone I enjoy spending time with i get attached really easily and I don't know how to move forward. I've tried losing my feelings and telling myself it'll never work out. But these feelings wont go away.
Some of the things she does, just don't make sense to me. I remember she had a bad hair day, and she was upset about it, I thought it was a little funny so i giggled, which prompted her to ask "Am I even cute enough for you?" She also invited me to meet in real life and spend time with her at an even. Even offered to pay in full. I had to decline due to family issues. After the event I asked her why she invited me, and she was really cold in the reply, saying that she just wanted someone else there and she would've barely spent time with me if I went anyways. The signals are so mixed and I just don't know how to move forward. If I should even move forward. I'm not very good at understanding people, as I've said I'm not very social. But willing to spend 2k just to "barely hangout" with me just doesn't sit right. I never even knew traveling was so expensive until she told me.

I like dressing up my furbaby chihuahua with cute clothes and saw Voghion app. I fancied
one cute pink winter coat and thinking of buying it but not sure if it will arrive on time for our
event. Has anyone bought some before?

So my oldest son, really sensitive, kindhearted guy - loves his little brother dearly. They share a bedroom, and according to the two of them, that won't change *ever*.
However, in the past month or so, our youngest has switched over to wearing regular undies at night full-time. He was wearing pull-ups to bed prior to this, but even then...was dry most nights more often than not.
Our oldest though, is 7 and still seems nowhere near close to being able to have dry nights, is still in pull-ups (goodnites) at night, and very much needs them.
This was never really a big deal in the past, because both boys were wearing some form of pull-up come bedtime, but now our oldest is really starting to get bummed out over his little brother hitting this milestone, when he's not yet there.
We've had many talks with him, and he gets that everyone is different/our bodies develop at different rates, etc... but he's still clearly feeling down over this. Especially because the two of them share a bedroom, it's very front-and-center each night, when it comes time for him to put on a pull-up for bed.
What on earth do we do here? Hate seeing my guy sad about all this.

Hi there ✌🏻
About me: I’m a tall boy at 6’3, I have blue eyes and dark blonde hair and wear glasses, I have lots of different hobbies like playing video games, watching one piece and rizzing you up. I’m big into documentaries and kind of a big film buff, I don’t really listen to music expect when I’m having a lil Friday evening drink so podcasts are my main thing. I’m full time employed as a Finance Manger. Im looking to buy a house at the moment but also in two minds about moving abroad as the Irish housing market is pretty horrific. I have a work in progress dad bod so if that’s a huge issue then no worries I just might not be your type physically.
Some small bullet point things… INTJ personality and Scorpio (if you’re into that thing) Introverted, not really a friends guy and don’t enjoy party’s and crowds except for work for some weird reason Ambitious and career orientated though would love to work for myself. Into someone mature and caring but also kind of a baddie lol
About you: looks wise I don’t really have a preference, someone cute and trendy, I for some reason like girls with pedicures and manicures, someone who’s driven, ambitious and got their own life going on. Also if you had a couple similar hobbies that would be neat so we can talk about stuff and get excited about the same stuff 🥰
Not to be too serious but I am looking for something real and long term, if that’s not what you’re into that’s totally cool we just won’t match I don’t think! Anyway yeah dm me with an intro and we can have a nice lil convo and find out all sorts about each other, idk what else to write here this is actually too long now sorry about that, thanks for reading and can’t wait to talk!

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Aspirational chubby traveler looking to book my very first luxury hotel stay this weekend. It'll be a luxury staycation in NYC — the city where I live with my husband and toddler, and I'd be so grateful for your advice.
THE STORY: I'm turning 40 this weekend, and haven't planned a thing. (The tradition of my marriage is that the birthday person takes the lead on choosing what to do, and I've been ducking every request, so this is on me!) It's been a hard few months (unemployment - just got a new job, whew - parenting, marriage, all of it!) and I just haven't been able to think about it. But now I'm thinking about it. And tonight, quite last minute while procrastinating and reading this sub I had a lightbulb, head-smack moment — what I REALLY want to do is spend a night in a really lovely hotel!!!! A luxury experience for a milestone birthday!!! Start as you mean to go on!!! This feels exactly right, and I have a bit of a vision for it now.
THE VISION: Sunday morning, I wake up with my son and my husband, I am 40, we are in a beautiful hotel room in beautiful New York, my husband gets up to open the windows and there it is ... the New York City skyline, or Central Park, or the Brooklyn Bridge or some other bridge. Pinch me, I'm 40! And I'm in this amazing beautiful room! With my beautiful family! Looking at this beautiful city! And also we LIVE in this amazing city! etc etc Then a knock on the door and an incredibly kind wonderful person brings in delicious fancy wonderful over the top breakfast yum yum yum and that's as far as I've gotten. Maybe the night before my husband and I took turns swimming laps if there's a pool? or in the spa or in the gym? or Maybe we went to the pool with our son, if there is one? Maybe after breakfast we'll go to the pool again? Or maybe we'll just stay in the hotel room because it's a very nice room and it feels good and looking out the window is really special? Maybe we'll get room service again for lunch? We've arranged for late checkout so it's okay. Or maybe we've just booked a second night so we don't even have to worry about it? Ok that's it. That's the vision.
THE BUDGET: I would feel good about spending $2,000 all in on this birthday treat — including room service and fees and whatever else. Even as I write that I know that's not realistic, for what I'm wanting (forget about pool? compromise on what "view" means? treat the food as a separate thing?) So maybe then $2000 on the room and then ... another $500 on 2-3 room service meals?
THE LOCATION: Not important, except no Times Square and no Williamsburg and no Meatpacking. Anywhere else is OK! More important is ....
THE VIEW: Must exist from the room, preferably from the bed but can be flex there, but really wanna be able to see something breathtaking.
THE MUST-HAVE: Child friendly—It'll be me, my husband, and our three year old son. I don't want to feel like I need to smuggle my kid into the hotel. I'd like to feel like he's welcome there and that I'm not ruining anyone's day by having a child there. (Though maybe I'll need to smuggle him in because of room capacity restrictions? Would love any insight on that ... )
THE REALLY-WANT-TO-HAVE: Amazing service—I want to feel taken care of and surprised and delighted. Little touches that make me feel like someone is paying attention and cares. Just the little "I noticed you" stuff that means so much to people—it means so much to me!
THE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE: Pool (really only if it's one we could take our kid in, if not, then don't care)
THE THING I JUST THOUGHT OF: It might also work (and be better for budget??) to check in on my birthday-day (Sunday the 19) and then have fancy room service dinner and cake (?) and night time view and then have a less leisurely but still nice morning experience on Monday
THE REASON I'M POSTING HERE: I opened a lot of tabs and just couldn't commit to anything - when you aren't used to spending this much money on a hotel room (or anything really) it feels very high stakes to do so!!!! like if we spend this money and it's great, that's money well spent, totally worth it. But if we spend this money and it's disappointing, that seems like it would be SO disappointing. Like so disappointing it might not even be worth the potential upside? Booking it myself feels too risky, I want someone to be like oh yeah THIS is what you should do.
OK this is really very long. if you've read it all, thank you. if you have any suggestions, thank you thank you thank you.

Hi, so my friend is a huge fan of the ASOIAF books and the GOT show. She has this one pairing on the show she’s obsessed with. It’s one with Jaime Lannister and Lyanna Stark. Her birthday is coming up and I’d like to see if I can get her a nice, cute drawing of the two characters.
These are the character descriptions:
Jaime Lannister: tall, handsome young man, with golden-blonde hair, chiseled jaw and cat-green eyes.
Lyanna Stark: petite, pretty, child-like young woman, with black-brown hair and grey eyes.
I was wondering if the picture could be something romantic or wholesome. Something like him being in all his armour (since he’s in the Kingsguard) and the two of them in her chambers where he’s down on knee, looking up at her face, and she’s sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at him, both with clear love and adoration for each other but are helpless because she’s the queen and he’s her knight. She’s cupping his face and he has his palms on hers.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I, F (23) have been texting/calling with a M (30), we had a first date i believe 3 or 4 weeks ago, we went for drinks at a restaurant. It was going well and he then asked to go for a drive, but before we could even get into his car, he kissed me and it was lovely. We then went inside his car for a heavy petting/make out session but I kept second guessing myself and stopped it from going further. He asked if i wanted to go to his place to meet his dog, and of course i said yes.
we were at his place and we just cuddled and watched a movie, about this time its 2 AM and well, after the movie ended, we started fooling around and you can guess what happened next. After the first time, we cuddled and had pillow talk for about 2 hours, then we did it again and around 4 AM we decided to fall asleep. in my mind, i was thinking this isn't just some hook up, people don't have pillow talk for 2 hours or spend the night. they typically just go straight into it and then sleep together then leave. However, when i woke up in the morning, he was awake for like maybe 2 minutes and i heard him on his phone. He was on this app for maybe a literal 15 seconds. All i heard was "swipe, swipe, swipe, buzz buzz"
Yeah...he was on a dating app and matched with someone. So a minute later he asks if i was awake and i tell him "yeah..were you just on a dating app? I heard you match with someone so congrats"
He responded with the "whattt, how did you know? wait- now you're going to think im not serious about you". of course i responded with a "well yeah" and he said "but i am serious about you"
I brushed it off, thinking i was wrong that maybe this was a 1 time thing. However, he still texts me every day and sometimes calls me a few times a week but he only sees me on fridays? He also told me that he wants to be exclusive. we've been going about this for going on 4 weeks now. I somehow feel he doesn't take me seriously, we have gone out in public and all, but last Friday he upset and I was getting dressed to leave. He was stopping me, but when he was talking to me as i was putting on my shoes, he wasn't even facing me. Mind you, he was asking me to stay and to not be upset with him and just come back to bed. But why wouldn't he face me? he was half turned facing the opposite way but with his head turned to his side so i was in his peripheral vision. Was it because he doesn't like showing vulnerability? was it because he doesn't take me seriously?
My friend told me that he probably just settled on me, and when i told my situationship about this he actually got upset with me and said i ruined the vibe of our relationship or whatever this is? which the only reason i have doubts about us is solely because he was on a dating app while i was in his bed next to him.
**TL;DR;** i can't tell if my situationship is serious about me or not

Hi, I’m 22F and my freakin dad is still using my social security number and I don’t know what to do!
For a couple months now I’ve been ready to move out on my own. Yesterday I found this really cute studio that I fell in love with and immediately submitted an application.
Today, I’ve received a rental report (this is all new to me. I don’t know what this is for) but looking through this document I saw some additional addresses that I never seen before. I quickly searched these addresses and recognized them as being my dad’s previous and current address. I then see there a credit card account that was created in 2012, I was 10/11 years old in 2012. How that heck are they opening a credit account for a child??? How do they not know that my name on the social security number doesn’t match with his name!?
I’m beyond frustrated and conflicted, I don’t know what to do. This isn’t the first time my dad did this. When i started my first job, I received a strange package that I was being sued by a bank. I had no idea what was happening. The defendants were me and my dad so I gave the paperwork to him to deal with. I never saw something like it again. I thought this was super weird so I went to social security administration to check if any accounts had been open under my social and they told me there are no active accounts. Now, that I saw this documents, they freakin lied to me!
I’m trying to open my wings, I’m realizing now that that was a bigger deal than it is. I’m afraid this will affect the chances of approval for the studio and for the long run.
I have no freakin idea what to do. I’m going to be so sad if I don’t get approved for that appointment.

As the Playstation 3 surprisingly still has a very active playerbase (until last year, 2 million active users were registered on the PS3, which for me is surprising considering that it is a console that is almost 20 years old, here in Brazil it has even become an extremely cheap option for some people's "first console", which I think is kinda nice) I ended up being motivated to write this post which could perhaps be useful for people who have both consoles (PS3 and PS5) or have a PS3 and intend to keep the same PSN account when migrating to a new console.

There are several other PS1 and PSP games that probably have a free upgrade for the PS4 and PS5 but to be on the safe side I only included the ones that I confirmed that they have, if you know of any other games let me know and I will update the list over time.

PS3 ~ PS4 Cross-Buy Games:
In the past, some games had crossbuy between Playstation 3 and Playstation 4, in short, if you bought the PS4 version you got the PS3 version and vice versa, there are even reports from some people that some games offered on Playstation Plus Extra could be played on PS3 too, but I couldn't confirm this, below are all the games that have crossplay between PS3 and PS4:

I hope this is useful to someone, I intend to update it more often, especially the part about PS1 and PSP games since I know there are several that are missing from the list.
