Just like the title says my long time male friend called me gorgeous.

For context, we met at work back in 2018 or 2019. We both stopped working there for different reasons and at different years however we both had somewhat traumatic experiences at that job. I think in a way we are trauma bonded.

Fast forward to the last two years, we’ve only seen each other a handful of times. I send him lots of memes and tiktoks (we mainly communicate through Instagram)

He recently broke things off with his partner so he’s been struggling. Last Friday night he said he was drunk. I sent him a few funny videos and then I received THE message.

“Call me a piece of shit but you’re gorgeous”

Hello All,

I started my sourdough journey this past January. Ive watched a lot of vids and such and im slowly getting the hang of it.

Ive only tried inclusions twice. Once with jalapeños and cheddar cheese and a second time with a cinnamon and sugar mix.

I see soo many videos of people making sweet inclusions loafs. For example, chocolate loaf or rainbow sprinkles loaf… my question is, does the loaf stay sour even with the sweet/sugar inclusions?

Like I mentioned previously I tried a cinnamon and sugar inclusion (i might have not added enough sugar) and it obviously tasted like regular sourdough bread. It wasn’t bad but I cant say that I enjoyed it with the over powering sour taste (ins

Im looking for advice. Im traveling to the UK for the first time ever. Im worried that it’ll be hella cold. Has anyone traveled out there during the winter? Any Oaklanders or SF natives that can compare the cold temperatures???

I need an idea of how many jackets/layers to pack.

Thankssssss!

I received a 1098-T form because I've been enrolled in community college. I'm also unemployed and therefore have no income. The amount I paid for tuition is relatively low (under 1k) I've read that it's unnecessary to file a 1098 form if I have no income and instead get a tax credit. I am over 18 so it cannot be claimed by my parents. Should I still file? Any thoughts are welcome.

I f27 went in for my first pap and it was horrible. It was very painful. Im not sexually active (never been). Doc used the smallest speculum. She might have been wrong in pulling speculum out to collect discharge (she was going to test it) and push speculum back for a second time. I literally gasped and kinda hissed. I tried to relax my muscles but every time I did, I felt pain. I literally pushed upwards with my feet. I was kind of hovering lol. There was some bleeding (which I know is normal).

Once it was all said and done my body reacted so bad. Doc left the room my body went into a weird panic attack mode. I was hyperventilating and crying. I almost fainted. I allowed myself to feel eve

Yup just like the title says. This is my second time having a betta in a legit tank (regulated temp, filter, plants etc)

She’s very active but when chilling, she hangs around the heater, so much so that she wraps herself around it. Is this normal behavior? Could she be cold? Temp at this moment is 76 (24) degrees (I just added water but it’s usually between 76-77). I do live in the Bay Area so it’s been a bit colder out here.

Thoughts???
