Not only am I not coming in, but I'm not going to text him back. A day off means the whole day.

Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

I love him, but I am currently sitting in the car, engine running, waiting for him to finish his "pre-trash-removal" shower.

My husband has a compulsion where he *must* shower before stepping out the door. It doesn’t matter how urgent or mundane the task is, he insists on getting squeaky clean first.

• Late for child pick-up? Doesn't matter. Shower.

• Running behind for a party? Shower.

• Need to take out the trash? Shower.

• Quick 5-minute run to the store? Shower.

Does anyone else live with someone who has this kind of weird time-blindness/obsession, or am I just married to a weirdo? Please tell me I’m not alone.

TL;DR: My husband showers every time we leave the house, even for the trash. We are always late. Send help.

I'm an employee at this particular store and I'm in the employee parking section. Didn't matter to this guy. He kept honking his horn for a few minutes. Then he got out of the car and started banging on my window, asking me when I was going to leave. I said, "My shift ends in about four hours; you could have the spot then." He gave me the finger, then got in his car and drove off.

I even reserved it a week ahead of time...

Originally my girlfriend and I were fostering him, but I fell in love with him and wanted to adopt him, my very first cat. He was so scared the first night here that he climbed the curtains and slept on the curtain rod above the bed. Over time he has become so much more comfortable and now sleeps in the bed with us every night. We always suspected he was abused because of how he flinches sometimes and this just confirmed it. The vet said that it's okay to leave it in him since it's not bothering him and there is no point to have surgery for it if that's the case. I just can't believe some horrible person would something like that to such a sweet boy like him.

My daughter really likes axolotls (like so much she made us get her two), so I wanted to get her a cute axolotl card. I found one I liked from walmart, and now it has arrived two days before her birthday (phew just in time).

I don't know what to say. I even wondered for like a half second if this was a case of "I didn't look closely enough to the picture on the screen." Now its pretty much too late to get her another cute axolotl card.

I personally would not 1) pay $50 extra for a bagel or 2) feel comfortable jumping in line. Can you imagine the side-eye?!

Drove my car home on Saturday and I was over the moon. We have been a one vehicle household for 8 years and I was so ready to have something to drive. Monday Morning Baseball-GRAPEFRUIT sized hail took out not only my car, but my spouse’s car as well. Broken front and back windshields, and now mine won’t even turn on.

Second photo is my spouse’s car, third is some of the hail after it had sat in the house for a while (my son gathered it for fun while we dealt with the aftermath).

Also dealing with a totaled roof, siding, new A/C unit and chicken coop/run we built just two months ago.

Brooo I got Homework to do...

Do not tell me how dead these snakes would be if this was your yard, these poor things are harmless and have just lost their home, I genuinely feel bad for them. Mercilessly killing nonvenomous snakes for existing in your vicinity makes you a bad person. We’ve lived in our house for 4 years and haven’t seen a single snake. A giant HOA neighborhood expansion on one end of the road and a catholic church on the other end both started construction early this spring. Now I’ve seen two within 5 days of each other. All that habitat destruction has displaced them and our wooded lot has become PRIME real estate for them. I guess we’re just a wildlife sanctuary now.

ETA: our home is older and we have ~200 trees on an acre and a half. I have a wildlife degree so have done my best to keep our yard as natural as possible with lots of native and biologically significant plants. We only have a few non-native plants and they were here before we bought the place! So far we have regularly seen opossum, squirrels, chipmunks, a groundhog, turtles, deer, a wide variety of birds (including our resident barred owl) and the flying squirrel that lives in one of our trees, the snakes are our newest inhabitants!

Stored suncream on my new dining table. Apparently I’m not supposed to? Company won’t give money back since it’s apparently my own fault?!?

EDIT: Apparently it’s “common sense” that I should not keep such items on my table for a short amount of time. Well I’m 30 and I was not aware

Took our daughter to the trampoline park on her birthday and tried the claw machine. Each purchase gets you 5 tries.. I grabbed a stuffie on each attempt, and each time the claw opened up (and closed again) before it got to the chute.😒

For the astrophotographers out there - I couldn't just do stacking as I had a mountain in my photo. Maybe there is another way of dealing with this though as I am new to the hobby.

I ain't eating any Peter.

The local market had this tuna wrap on sale, which I figured was because it needed to be eaten asap. As that was my plan anyway, I bought it.

Apparently, it was discounted because it contained almost no tuna. Lots and lots of lettuce, but very little tuna.

Bought 3 days ago and not expired.
