TLDR boyfriend’s girl friend gifted him a perfume soaked Cat plush that I think is supposed to represent her. She’s also gifted him what seems to be kinda personalised things to their relationship. Am I looking too much into it or was that her way of flirting with my boyfriend.
I 26f, boyfriend 29m have been together for 2 and a half years. His friend who is a girl (they have known each other for 1 and a half years) just randomly gave him a perfume soaked Cat plush when she came over for our last dnd session.
I asked him about it and if the cat meant anything to him and he said it was from a anime movie they had went to see with a group of people last last year. It was a black cat with green eyes. He said that she often refers to herself as his black cat and he is a fox. So the gift must have also been a reference to her aswell. She also gifted him a fox dice holder for christmas and has also drew him two portraits for the two birthdays she’s known him for. One of him with foxes and another of him being a barman in a tavern with a black cat sitting at the bar.
She also confessed to him before Christmas that there might be some feelings from her end even tho she has said she is a lesbian. Since then she has backed off and was ignoring him more and others in the dnd group. Just the past few weeks she has started talking more again and I thought it was past us and all was good and she was worried I hated her.
Now she has given him that gift and I just wanted to know if I am overthinking it or if she was trying to say something by that. I’ve not said anything to her and don’t talk much to after she told him she liked him. My boyfriend accepted the gift and was laughing and didn’t really say anything much about it. He says he feels awkward and doesn’t want to break up the dnd party by saying anything and is being quite passive and saying she didn’t meant anything by the gift. I just wanted to know what others thought because I thought it was quite disrespectful to gift something like that and also have it soaked in her perfume! Do you think I’m looking too much into it?

Stats: 46 F, SW 192, CW 152.4, GW 135. Current dose 96 Units Semaglutide. Started July 14th 2023, been taking weekly for 45 weeks.
Overall down 39.6 lbs in 45 weeks which I'm very happy with!!! During my journey I've noticed I'll drop 5-10 lbs then stall for 3-4 wks, then drop again, stall, etc. The last two stalls have been much more lengthy so this is why I decided to try Tirzepatide for 3 months, and will be taking 1st dose later this week.
Side effects have been minimal and manageable. I noticed all minor side efforts went away with time. For example, had more burps for a few weeks then went back to normal. Hair was shedding much more for about 6-8 weeks then back to my normal hair shedding. BMs became less and if I didn't go for a few days would take a gentle laxative. Was using laxatives every other week in the beginning and now maybe take it once a month if not at all.
Any insight from someone who has switched??? Any advice is much appreciated.
My little hacks I did while on the Semaglutide journey is:

• Only put your weight in a tracker if you went down, the reason I did this was so that I could see my little chart in a downward trend which made me happy to look at.
• Prior to dropping weight, my weight would bounce around so I started weighing myself much less which was so freeing!!!
• Tried splitting a dose a few times into twice a week which wasn't helpful for me.
• Ran out twice before the next order and would start back less for a week or two before titrating back up.
• If losing weight would stay at a lower dose longer.
• Made better food choices but didn't overthink it which was also freeing.
• Had started taking good multivitamin prior to starting and are still taking them. I think this helped me keep my energy levels normal.

My journey has been happy and at times has felt effortless as compared to previous weight loss success. Over the years I've tried every diet, exercise regiment out there to lose weight with enormous effort. Now it just feels effortless mentally even though I'm putting in effort which is a welcomed change.
Best of luck to all of you and wish you much success.

The Digimon movie (2000) is better than the godfather, citizen cane and Casablanca combined.
Sorry but it's much better imo. Those movies are boring and overrated. I feel like people just say these movies are good just to fit in.
The 3-in-1 film Digimon the movie (2000) is seriously amazing in comparison. I watch it every year on my birthday.

Please Help Us
Me and my sister don't know what to do about our mom .
Backstory: My mom and dad have been married for 50 years. I'm 25 my sister is 35 we all live under the same roof. During pandemic COVID my mom lost her Mom (aka my grandma). She lost her brother due to liver failure. , lost our grand aunt and also our grand uncle all in the span of 2020-2021. ... Everything was ok my mom was grieving and seemed more torn over the loss of her brother. My mom's a social worker and has a high stress job .
Now 2024. She had reconnected with an old friend after finding out she had breast cancer , (let's call her Lena) who is from back in our country of origin . That old friend used to have a similar family like us. Lena was married , and had 2 sons and 1 daughter who grew up with me and my sister, Lena's Husband at the time worked with my dad at university.Lena divorced her husband after finding out he was dating his student. Lena for single for a while after divorce , and now she has a boyfriend and she is living her life so happily and tells my mom all the details. Especially being happy and a new chapter. Lenas husband was a horrible man and was mean , and horrible to his kids at times. He was a player.
My family moved to this country I'm 2010 .my parents left their friends and family behind for us to be here. My parents are lonely here tbh , they don't have a social circle here , just like a handful of people but not a circle at all. They are bored, work , home , gym, groceries. That's life been for them lately
My dad majority of my childhood for decades was an alcoholic. At home He used to drink everyday and gets drunk on weekends. To the point where in 2023 my mom told my dad if he doesn't stop she and Us (children) are going to leave him because we tried everything for him to stop. My dad has been sober for the last 10 months. He's a bit depressed and is quieter but he's doing much better imo since he quit . Apart from the drinking he is the best dad I could ask for . I'm happy he has stopped.i hope he gets out of his funk.
A few weeks ago of April 2024. my mom got tragic news that her sister who has been sick for a while died of a heart attack at home. It was very hard for my parents to hear this news. The following weekend she started telling my sister strange things, while I was away. She said she's not surprised our ex aunt cheated on her brother , she said shes burnt out from her job , she said she wants to go away for a short while to have time to herself. Saying she wants to go hotel and stay in separate rooms from my sister ( my sis was like ???) she told her that she feels stuck .Whatever it is. She's lonely. She wants to go out. She wants to 'meet new people'. It's all just nuts. Like I get it. Fine u can. But like you're hanging at the gym for hours everyday. Talking to our friends and seeking out for attention. She said alot of stuff to my sister while I was away and she panicked
Me and my sister pulled her aside a week ago and said what the hell are you doing. You dumped all this info on my sister , You're being inappropriate with our friends saying stuff like ( people's preferences for older even if they're younger doesn't matter even if they approach you) she mentioned this to one of my friends....So we confronted her and she said . Look me and your father haven't been happy for a while since the last 8 years. She said her and my dad talked about it in 2020 and wait and see....So we said okay that's fine but are you doing stuff behind him because that's not ok. She said before it even gets there she will definitely talk about it with my dad. So then we're like.....ok if you say you're okay we will not mind . We told her if she needs to go on a vacation or time off ( cuz my parents never go anywhere ) all they do is just see family ones in a while overseas. Never an actual vacatjon. So we said , hey u should try doing things together with dad. Go places, do things. She's like he never wants to . We said it's not easy since he stopped drinking so try at least with him before anything else..... We told her to talk to a therapist , she said she's talking to one of her coworkers who is one. We had our sisters birthday and she came to the club with me and our friends (first time she evercame to the club with us) it was odd but like she had fun?.
My mom also said (hey I don't wanna end up like my sister because she was in a bad marriage and loved somebody else ) and Lena was happy and had a boyfriend. Me and my sister said , dad isn't even that bad compared to these others she tried to use his drinking as an excuse. But we're like he STOPPED.
In 2023 While they went to Europe to see my cousin my mom was telling some guy hit on her while she was waiting for bus. And he asked my mom to go out for coffee. And she said yes sure but it was raining. And then he was talking to my mom . And my dad answered a question he asked. And the guy said "I'm talking to the lady" or something. And my mom just let it happen. And my dad didn't say anything. I'm like okkk????
She's been painting her nails. Doing her hair , spending hours at the gym just talking to people , my friends etc. it's just so weird. Until the point now my dad doesn't go anymore cuz she spends time there so much and just talks to others. She latches on to some of my new friends. .
Today she went to the gym at 1 o clock. It's literally 6 o clock she's not even back. What the hell do me and my sister do. It's causing me and my sister so much anxiety
It's definitely grief + mid life crisis + boring Rut marriage
What do we do .

Hi all!
I'll try to make this concise.
I'm a guidance counselor working in the NYC Department of Ed.
I have an estimated 4weeks left until I gift birth. I recently asked my principal to allow me to work from home, based on my OB doc's rec. One of my biggest challenges is my 2.5-3 hour rountrip drive commute, as well as a slew of other things that can be alleviated if I can work from home. My direct supervisor in the guidance department has unofficially agreed that this is a reasonable accommodation.
My job duties are heavily administrative (a lot of paperwork, inputting student data on portals, programming students for classes, reviewing course applications, calling parents to provide academic updates, checking transcripts, submitting graduation codes, etc.).
My principal (boss) is arguing that my essential function is to be in the building. No reasons stated. He proposed that he give me extended breaks (Not helpful for me. The students here are very loud in the building and nowhere to lie down/recline in a comfortable area). He proposed to change my schedule to alleviate commute (I already get in at the earliest time possible and leave at the earliest time possible to avoid heavy traffic).
When I declined both accommodations, he recommended that I take a medical leave. I told him if I worked from home, I could get all of my end-of-year duties completed from the computer. He said let them worry about all of the work I will have to leave to my coworkers to figure out. I have 300 students, and I work with them throughout 9th to 12th grade, so I know them best. We've had colleagues leave before for maternity, and it was always difficult to take on extra students who we were unfamiliar with, especially with all of our never ending deadlines. I stated multiple times I would love to work from home not only for my sake, but also so that I can not place extra burden on my coworkers, and also to support my students. He was adamant that I take a leave.
FYI, my union rep let me know that the principals have been pressured to not let staff work from home. I don't know who is pressuring them. I didn't ask. Union rep told me to fight this.
Clearly me being gone is not causing an undue hardship to my principal because he's the one that I take a leave and let them worry about all the work I can't get done. Wouldn't it be more logical for me to work from home and get my work done? Btw, his whole point is that my essential function is to be with my students in person. I do not have a mandated caseload and I rarely see students for counseling because we have social workers who are assigned with that duty.
Is it worth sending a rebuttal to his declining my request? Any tips, advice, suggestions?
TIA all!

I'm not sure if this is the best thread to post on but I'm still new to this.

My husband (turning 33) and wants to have 40+ people over to our small home for the 4th year in a row. Every year so far it's been very overwhelming for me since he goes golfing and then I'm just home prepping all the food for the 40+ guests. It's exhausting and I'm more introverted so on top of prepping I'm stressing about hosting that many people at our small house.
This year is a little different too because we had our first baby in 2023 and she will be 9 months by the time of his 33rd birthday party he wants to host and I'm a new SAHM (stay at home mom) so we are living off one paycheck because childcare near us is double our mortgage.
It was my 30th this year and we kept it super lowkey because the prior weekend he was on a golf trip and the weekend after we had an out of state wedding we had to fly for. Idk I'm feeling overwhelmed too because since 2020 we've had weddings, bachelorettes, bachelor parties, bridal and baby showers, our own wedding and the birth of our baby and even this year we have 6 wedding and barely any free weekends and it's only May. I also have hypothyroidism that is stress induced that I've been managing since 2022.
​
Has anyone else dealt with a situation like this? Does anyone throw huge birthday parties that aren't milestone birthdays anymore?
​
TLDR; my husband wants to host a huge birthday party at our house, that he says I don't have to plan but every year I end doing everything and we had a baby and I'm a new SAHM and don't want to host that many people and I've expressed this to him. I'm overwhelmed.

For example, if you’re 35, why pretend to be a haggard looking 25 year old when you could be an amazing looking 45 year old.

So I was making my choice for uni and one uni rejected (a local uni) my application but gave me an offer at a foundation course. I had another offer at a uni (also local) for a similar course and was almost set on going there. But when I went to the offer holder day for the foundation course, my mum advised me to take the foundation year and the only thing in my head at time was honor your mother and father so I did that course.
A few weeks before uni I went to church on my own for the first time and I hated it I felt so lonely. So I told my mum about this (i didn't know at the time but someone with gift of profesy told my mum basically something important you wanted isn't going to happen like your wanted before I wanted to change church).
I found a church of England church and love it from the first services.
Later on my aunty has a brain tumor and me and mum looked after her, and she is going to the church I go to and getting baptized there.
I summary because God delayed a door for me. I found a church I love, was able to look after my aunt with mum bring her to my church so she had company and get her baptized there.
God is good

My son’s birthday is coming up. He did the N64 Question Mark Box by himself last year. Is there anything you’d suggest to top it in terms of complexity?

Hello, I have a Centofante 3 that has been gifted to me a few years ago. I don’t use it as much because I deem it “too nice” as an edc.
I am not sure if it is normal, but recently I have noticed that there is side to side play on the blade. If it isn’t normal, how can I eliminate the play?

My friend and I have always had an on again and off again friendship. We have known each other for over 15 years and have been “off again” because of either significant others not liking our friendship, or distance. This most recent “on again” has been going on for about a year or so, and we haven’t gone more than a day or two without talking to each other. I even went to visit him for our birthdays (they’re very close together). We have gotten very close in this time, and have even talked about the possibility of a future together. Since he is currently working in another country for work, we said we would visit that “future us” bridge and decide if we would cross it when he moved back home, and have remained really good friends in the meantime.
In the past, when we hadn’t heard from each other for a day, we both have reached out and acknowledged the odd behavior. His words in the most recent instance is “I recognize our relationship and also recognize when we aren’t showing up for our normal interactions and this…. Isn’t normal. So what’s going on?” So it’s not like it’s a one sided thing…
This is where the behavior I am questioning and finding very confusing comes into play. As I said, he lives out of the country for work, and he has recently taken a month long leave from work to see family. He’s just over halfway through his leave, and has about a week and a half, maybe 2 weeks left. As I said, in this last year we haven’t gone more than a day or two without talking to each other. Since he’s been on his vacation to see his family, he has ghosted me… kinda?
About a week before he left, he told me “you have been my priority for the past few months, but while I’m at home, I need to make my kids and family the priority… I’m telling you this because we won’t be able to talk as much.” I said “I hope it won’t be a month without talking because that might be difficult, but I understand. And by the way, I hope I never come as a priority above your kids...” He said “no, it won’t be a month, just not as much”. We video chatted the day before he left for almost 2 hours, he told me that he missed me. He was messaging me while he was on the plane and again in the airport, but the second he got picked up from the airport, it’s been radio silence from him. I haven’t gotten a text message or a phone call from him since. I knew I wasn’t going to be seeing him this trip home, since I just saw him, so it’s not like he ditched me or didnt show up for plans… The strange part, I suppose, is while I haven’t gotten any calls or texts, I’ve gotten some reactions to my messages, and he’s sent me some Facebook videos and TikTok’s. The first week, the only thing I got was a reaction to the message I sent him while he was leaving the airport. This past week, every day or two, he’s sent me a few Facebook videos or some TikTok’s. That, in and of itself, is not strange since he would do that prior to his trip, but the fact that he isn’t talking at all, but is still sending random videos… is. That’s why I don’t know if I can even call this ghosting. I don’t know if this friendship is just over and I’m just looking too far into this or holding onto something that just isn’t there anymore, or if he just needs his space for now and sending videos is his way of saying like… I’m still here. I don’t really know what to think… I have an anxious bean brain and I overthink, so I am looking for some outside perspective. Any thoughts or advice redditers?

One week ago I (15M) had a birthday, and a friend of mine and I went to a scooter store and I bought a really nice golden scooter but cheap. Later that day I was testing some new tricks in a skateboard park not that far away from my house when a group of probably 7 year olds came up to me , and one of them said 'hay mate guess what, we are taking that scooter you have '. I said 'no go away ' then one of them came up to me and started punching me like I was his bi*** , but it didn't hurt that much I managed to get away from them buy throwing the scooter at one of them then I grabbed it and left. As I was leaving one of those year 7s came and right hooked me on the head . through the whole time I didn't say anything and just took it as a "man" and I didn't hit them back, I did flipp them off and swore at them. I know they were just kids but but God dammit some parents should NOT be allowed to raise kids if they act like that.
