I’ve had trouble understanding someone if they don’t enunciate since I was a child. I’m mostly writing to say I understand your embarrassment when you can’t understand someone with an accent or I’ve also had the issue if someone had a speech difficulty due to disability. I feel terrible asking...

I really like Athleta and Calia. Both offer plus sizes and also often include plus size model photos in the product descriptions.

Women’s shirts that aren’t see through or have low arm holes. Especially with so much only being offered online, it’s comical how often I’ve had to return something because the thinness of the material should have disqualified it as clothing. And it’s annoying when they purposefully disguise it...

Yeah, I’ve had to take a photo of both of my kids (super young) in a state of undress because of allergic reactions. And yeah, both their doctors asked for the photos because they wanted to see what the reaction looked like at its “height” not when it calmed down and we had gotten them to the...

I have and would again, BUT I think it makes more sense to line up my training schedules with the vacation so it's a planned rest week.

Thank you for the continued updates.

It sounds like it was to pass it on to future generations. I’m not saying it was worth it, but that seems to be the reason. Sometimes I hear stories that shock me of what people have done to create opportunities for their children, grand children, great grand children, etc. It definitely begs...

Thank you. My husband is coping pretty well because we're Christians and his friend was a Christian, so we have hope we'll see each other again. I think the hard part is that because their friendship was so long, it's like he lost a part of himself. I can't imagine what it must be like for his...

Yup. Recently, I let a girl know she was going to drive away with her trunk open. I don’t love talking to strangers, but if I see that there is an issue that 99.9% of people would want to be alerted to, I try to let them know.

We have all heard the stories of people who have run back into a fire to get a beloved pet. Some make it back. Some get trapped and then a firefighter has to go try to save them. Maybe that person was willing to die to save their pet, but now we've added the possibility of the firefighter dying...

I'm so sorry for your losses :grouphug:

Some of that can be avoided with realistic HOA fees being setup from the beginning. My parents own a super old timeshare. It’s still in good shape because the owners’ fees started out high enough to keep the reserve account fully funded. When you have to raise the HOA fee later, especially by a...

I’m perfectly fine with you correcting the details. Thank you. My point was and is that I’m honestly horrified by the lack of compassion (from some, and I’m not at all referring to you NYCgrrl) for people mourning and most likely preparing to mourn their dead loved ones. My husband is...

A rescue worker found his own elementary age daughter dead in the rubble. He worked the scene through the anguish of knowing his baby girl was probably gone. Probably wondering what her last moments were like. Did she suffer? Was it quick?And he worked it anyway. That father has to wake up for...

I'm glad we don't have the speeding ones. I don't mind the red light ones. To drive the speed limit requires the cooperation of those around you. I was, briefly, going 15 over in the right hand lane of an 8 lane interstate yesterday because that was the flow of traffic. I had to slow down over...

Hanging out with like minded people is super helpful. My husband and I both live a pretty healthy lifestyle so we feed off each other, but we both also have other accountability and encouragement. Friends, extended family members, FB groups, etc. People tend to behave very similarly to those...

My stomach dropped when I saw the bunk beds. I hope it was an unrented AirBnB. I know someone said it has high owner occupancy, but I just really hope for some reason a lot of those apartments were empty that night. How horrific. I live in a beach town. When I look up at the huge oceanfront...

Yup, at least once a year before I was homeschooled. When I was homeschooled my mother would take me on trips 3 or 4 times a year with no real concern for the school schedule. Sometimes I would take work and sometimes I would leave it at home, often dependent on deadlines. I still managed to get...

My husband isn’t a big drinker. He could go months between drinks (where he almost always has one beer), but he hates flying and always orders a rum and coke to make it a slightly less miserable experience. So, he’d be pretty bummed. I can understand not serving on the plane. Not allowing it in...

Fully vaccinated, received Pfizer. My cycle after the first dose had lead up spotting. Cycle after second dose had like a week of spotting and then a lighter than usual period that lasted a week. My period is normally a week long and very predictable down to which days will be heavy, medium, and...
