I keep my house very clean, and when the weather allows I open windows to let in fresh air. I also have reed diffusers throughout my house to add a little scent. IMO the key is to choose one scent for your whole house so that it smells cohesive, and to choose a scent that is mild, not too artificial or overwhelming. Right now I’ve got the Life in Lilac diffusers in Peppermint Bliss and they smell great. All I have to do is flip the reeds once a week.

You might also be going nose blind to the febreze plug-ins if the scent is disappearing after a couple of days.

I was gonna go with Sam Kinison but yours is way better.

Oh my goodness he’s so cute!! I bet he loves his Lamb Chop!

That was great - now I really want to watch that special!

Agree with all three! Also the Laneige lasts forever, It’s what, 25 bucks? But it’ll last over a year.

May I see a pic of said good boy?

First of all, it’s great that you recognize unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior in yourself. That’s a great first step!

That said, a few thoughts:

• You’re not ready for a relationship - and I don’t say this to be mean, but you seem too immature for a relationship, especially one with the added challenges of being long-distance.
• Based on your responses to other comments, she is also too immature for a relationship.
• You created what’s called a ‘covert contract’ - meaning you had unspoken expectations which is almost a guarantee that the other person will let you down because you didn’t communicate with them. Unless both of you agree to plans, you don’t have plans.
• I think you need to shift your main source of socializing from the internet to IRL. The internet is great and everything but it’s not the same a real life, and I worry that too much internet socializing can stunt your real life social skills, making it harder to connect with people down the road.

You sound pretty young so I’m assuming some of this is just young kid angst and will smooth out over time. Good luck!

Last book I read was Bee Speaker by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I normally love his stuff, and I loved both Dogs of War and Bear Head, but Bee Speaker was awful. Such a disappointment.

Currently I’m reading Old Man’s War by John Scalzi.

Oh man I loved This Is How You Lose The Time War!

Awww goober looks like a sweetheart 🤍

It looks like this has been deleted, but uou just posted a question in a parenting community asking how to talk to your son about puberty. He’s twelve. He needs personal space and privacy, and he definitely needs to be sleeping in his own bed. Imagine how awful and confusing it would be for him to have a wet dream while in bed with you.

Please set a boundary here for his own good. And get to the bottom of why he can’t sleep.

Also I feel like you’ve posted about this before?

Please tell Emily she’s beautiful and give her noggin a scritch for me :)

Is this a serious question?

Look if you don’t care about your health, you can crash diet, sure, but you’ll lose water weight first, and then will lose muscle alongside the fat, especially if you don’t exercise. You will also feel miserable and will make others feel miserable being around you. And you’ll most likely pack it back on when you quit the diet.

OP said no exercise.

I bet Gary has some great toefeathers
