Keep your journals so your daughter can use them to figure out who her real father is by inviting them all to her wedding on a stunning Greek isle!

This is so dumb that I hesitate to even post my dumbness, but here we go... I only very recently came to the realization that our non-English speaking posters probably aren't painstakingly typing their post in English for us to read, & it is highly more likely that their post are being translated to English on my screen by way of computer technology i have legit never considered the possibility that non-native-English speakers are using Google translate for this forum. am i dumb? Me either....

My confession is while I know my relationship right now is not ideal and pretty much at dumpster fire stages, I don't end it because I've fairly convinced myself I'm just not going to do any better.* *I promise I am not looking for hair pats or anyone to convince me otherwise. This is just my factual confession for today. 🤔. I mean it’s clear you know the answer, and that posting it will get you hair pats. Cool.

Do phones automatically translate? This I truly don't know.
I would think they're not plugging it into a translate engine post by post.

I was bummed about not being able to go inside my kid's new preschool in the beginning but I am already embracing the outside drop off on day 3. It's so much quicker, even with a bit of queuing for check-in, and it's actually a bit easier to hand over the clingy kid at the gate rather than dealing with the stalling and whatnot inside. If this goes on into the colder months, which I imagine it will, I am also looking forward to not dealing with getting all the outerwear off and on. Our school never allowed parents in beyond the coat room/lobby to change the kid's shoes and sign them in. In the new era, they don't even make us do the shoes anymore. It's great. I want that. Ours (pre-pandemic) is like, stay as long as you'd like! Stay for breakfast! Stop by anytime! No thank you.

Do you just like saying it wrong? 😉 I will always say it "wrong". I refuse to acknowledge it as jif. I saw a video explanation of it and since g stands for graphic it’s a hard g. But that could have been wrong too but made sense to me.

Don't our individuals who live in non-English speaking countries have immigrated from an English speaking country, meaning they also know English?
Not that it matters, I don't care. I'm just trying to think of the people who post here and the countries they live in.
Hm. I've never thought about this.

My iPhone just updated and there’s a new translation app on it so I wonder if a post (or other use of it) could be typed in the copy pasted from the translation ?

I confess I’d love to read old diary’s from my mum or grandma from their 20s. I’ve only ever known them as serious mother types and reading about their younger care free days would be fun. I found out at my grandmas funeral that she used to be the dancing on tables sliding down walls life of the party and I was shocked! Tell me moooore!!

I guess my confession is that gainful employment is a non negotiable for me when I’m dating.
I’ve settled into the fact that I would rather be single than to live a standard of life with my husband that’s not acceptable to me.
I’ve also realized that it would not sit well with me to be the breadwinner in the house.

I shared last night but I lost my engagement ring. I’m devastated. Haven’t cried so hard in years and years. I’m so puffy this morning there is no way I can get on Teams meetings and show my face.
I feel silly for losing my mind over a ring. And simultaneously, it’s my MF-ing ring, and I loved it and 13 years in, I still stared at it and thought it was perfect and how lucky I was to have found this man who would give me this ring.
And I’m crying, again...

Earlier this week it was nice out, so I put in a short sundress. I looked good and was feeling myself. I put on my AirPods and since I felt cute and younger I blasted an old Taylor Swift album and played an upbeat song (shake it off). My headphones weren’t really working, I could only hear a bit out of one side so I put the volume on full blast and continued my walk. A lot of people were looking at me and I thought I was working it. What I didn’t realize is that my AirPods never connected so I was walking around paris with a mini boom box of sorts, blasting Taylor Swift and strutting. Still cringing. Given that I tend to rock out to murder podcasts while I mow, this is one of my biggest fears. I always double check that my headphones connect before getting started. I feel like a murder podcast would be a sure fire way to scare customers and run off business. 🤣

I plan to spend my free time today watching the Paris Hilton documentary on her YouTube channel. I was a huge fan in the early 2000s, like embarrassingly so. DD and I watched it night before last. We ordered pizza and all.

Hard g makes sense because it stands for graphic, but the creator of the gif says it’s a soft g. Ha I thought the person in the video was the creator and that’s why it made sense. And he was pretty passionate about it lol. Either way it’s hard g greenolive

Outside drop off has always been a thing in the both states I have lived.
I haven't had to get out the car for a drop off since preschool.

I feel silly for losing my mind over a ring. And simultaneously, it’s my MF-ing ring, and I loved it and 13 years in, I still stared at it and thought it was perfect and how lucky I was to have found this man who would give me this ring. And I’m crying, again... ::hugs:: In the summer, my engagement ring is on a chain because my fingers swell. We were packing up to leave our shore house a few weeks ago and I realized the chain was gone. I lost it and cried and silently tore the house apart while everyone else was packing. My sister thought I lost it on the beach even though I kept saying that I never wear my rings to the beach. We actually got my parents out of the house so they wouldn’t see me freaking out. We decided we’d tell the realtor, cleaners and next people to come in the house about the situation. I did find them before we left. It was stuffed between some couch cushions. I clutched that chain for nearly an hour after. Once we got home, I saw that the chain was not broken. I asked my kid. “Yeah, I took it. I like mommy’s ring.”

My kid's preschool sends emails summarizing things they learned that day. They've been learning about bugs all month and it was all about stag beetles yesterday. First of all, I was like, what's a stag beetle? And no, I did not know that stag beetle larvae communicate, or where they lay their eggs, or what they eat, or.... I never finished preschool and maybe there's been a gap in my education all along.

I’ve settled into the fact that I would rather be single than to live a standard of life with my husband that’s not acceptable to me. I’ve also realized that it would not sit well with me to be the breadwinner in the house. One of my new TX friends that I have been trying to ghost for a minute (well I had ghosted and then she popped back up) was obsessed with the issue that she made more than her man. I mean I told her if it's that much of an issue leave him then. I have never heard breadwinner said so much before in real life. It wasn't like it was making nothing just not more than her.
Anyway, FF now he got a promotion and a substantial raise.
She is now harping on something else.
