We‘re still very attracted to each other. I could get used to this WFH life

Okay. So he’s definitely eating my Double Stuff Oreos. Which is bullsht because I asked him at the apocalypse store if he wanted Double Stuff, and he was like “No. Those are overkill. The originals are just fine.” Fine. We get both. But now he comes out of the kitchen. I smell his breath. Toothpaste. Toothpaste used to mask chocolate breath??! Like half the pack’s gone. And you KNOW that OG sleeve’s still sitting there untouched. So I ask if he wants an Oreo, and I study his expression. He’s just like “No.” Obviously a flat out lie bc of course he does it’s a Double Stuff Oreo. Something’s clearly afoot. What’s he hiding???

He knows he does!!

Sister going through divorce with verbally abusive spouse, just received temporary judgement for custody of two year old and was awarded joint custody (she was anticipating she’d get sole custody). It’s tearing her apart and I can’t help/live in another state. Anyone have a good recommendation for family lawyers or counselors in/around Phoenix? Any good support groups that could help?

Out of your friends or friend group, how are you guys doing in life and career. Best guess.

Hi guys, have you ever cried in a workplace. How does it feel if no one helps you when u ask something and they don’t respond at all if u are even asking doubts to them. Everyday I m crying coz of the culture since it’s a full time work from home we will have to call people in teams for helps and doubts and every time no one respond us and they make us think that we are unfit for this job and I cry at work everyday.. does this mean r they asking me to leave the job indirectly!!!

My wife works at a school with kids with behavioral issues. The kids are abusive to the teachers/paras and have hit, kicked, pulled hair, as well as have grabbed the privates of teachers/paras. Nothing is ever done about it by higher up. Recently, the principal got kicked in the leg, and it turns out that the superintendent is “pressing charges” against the kid, but won’t do anything for the teachers/paras. What actions can my wife and the teachers take if the superintendent won't do anything?

Any gardeners here?

I've picked that up this week. My gardener started to MIA so I decided to give it a go and give him a permanent break. I have started looking up how to trim bushes and have realized that the gardener was doing just cosmetic stuff and most of the bushes are all dried up inside and a ton of mulch has been layered year after year. Leaving what looks like petrified mulch at the base of the bushes.

I did some pruning and trimming yesterday and today. As well as raking. More.
