Please post a picture of your chin so that we may judge this matter.

Late 30s here, I would descibe how I feel as "settled". I feel steady in who I am and what I do; my youngest child is five and so I'm out of the most intense hands-on parenting years. Looking forward to my forties!

An ultrasound tech once told me that I have a cute spleen.

So... the dishes were important enough for your partner to berate you about them multiple times, but not important enough for them to do the washing-up while you were out? Are they always your responsibility? Did you have a mutual conversation and understanding about chore division, or has your partner implicitly or explicitly assigned certain chores to you?

What measures of responsibility does your partner take for their own sleep? Sleep mask? Ear plugs? White noise? Weighted blanket? Other measures? Or is it all on you to accommodate them?

Would offering to sleep on the couch if you come home after they're asleep feel like a reasonable compromise for you?

Does having a curfew set for you by your partner seem like a normal thing to you? Are you surprised that people here think it's not normal?

Does your partner regularly use belittling or derogatory language towards you as you've detailed here? Does it feel to you that using such language is justified by your ADHD?

Does this situation seem like a one-off thing, or is it often a problem that you have not read your partner's mind?

I think you've got some important questions to ask yourself here.

After watching through all of DS9 all I need is the chin for a positive identification.

I use only the flowers. Here's a picture of them mid-processing.

Every time I head to the second-hand store I pick up a couple new CDs and DVDs. It's great! I'm paying max $3.99 apiece and I'll own them forever.

"The U.S. Travel Association says Canada is the top source of international visitors to the United States and just a 10 per cent reduction in Canadian travel could result in $2.1 billion US in lost spending – New York is one of the most visited states."

 

I ran across this post on the CBC that names a few apps to help people find Canadian products: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buying-canadian-shopping-apps-barcode-scanners-1.7463039

  • Shop Canadian
  • Buy Beaver
  • O SCANada
  • Maple Scan

I'm curious if anyone has tried any of these and how useful (or not!) you've found them.

 

"With so much interest in buying small Canadian companies, I figured I would share her products as an alternative. Your support would change her life. All products have a maple leaf!"

The response was immediate and enormous, she says, with order requests through her website increasing by almost 4,000 per cent, according to Williams.

 

Banks will also be prohibited from charging NSF fees more than once within a period of two business days and in cases where the overdraft is less than $10.

To avoid bank account holders accidentally incurring an NSF charge, banks will also have to send an alert giving account holders at least three-hours' notice that a payment exceeds their bank balance. If the account holder deposits money to cover the payment within that period, banks cannot charge the fee.

 

This is my most ambitious project to date, the Faith CAL by Helen Shrimpton (with a few modifications).

What big or small blankets are you working on?
