I have a cheapish samsung tablet that has blue light filtering, a black and white option, and super low screen brightness options. Low enough that if you're in a dark room, it's low enough that i can't have it all the way down and still read.

I rarely drink anymore, like maybe one drink every 6 months, except for wine, which ill have a glass of every couple weeks. But, i save all my bottles, because i fantasize about making things like this. Eventually, i, too, will have problemstic candles!

Mama used a big Tupperware for us. She had it bronzed when we were potty trained. 🥲

Standard courtesy is 3 millennia.

A spoiler warning would have been nice. I haven't read it yet!

Luxury!

This is, I guess, the yank equivalent of the four Yorkshire men. Haha

Well... The world is a lie.

Yes, OMG. All the cabbages

Does China use a compatible electrical system to us?

There are ones of us! Ones!

I've been using it for a few years now. It's great.

Couple tips:

Add a colored bar with the date being the first of each month, and the name being AAA. It makes it easier to read to have month separators in

Add a column that says what account you paid it out of if you use multiple accounts

Don't forget to update it with new bills you acquire

Get the Google sheets app on your phone, and log every purchase. Candy bar at the gas station? Log it. Secret fast food purchase you don't want anyone knowing about because you're ashamed? Log it as a gasoline purchase. Bought some weed from that dude Tommy who was at your buddy's house? "Walgreens" lol. Just make sure you get in the habit of logging minor spending

Also, there's a cool graphic that you can set to be emailed to you once a month that you link to the budget, giving you a break down of your spending in certain categories. I'll find it and update the original comment with it.

I know you have my life mapped out, because as someone who desperately wants kids, it's impossible not to do that. But don't assume a kid is going to follow that plan. Some kids are gay. You both handled that news really, really well, but for real, why did you have to assume I was straight to begin with? I wish I could have told you when I was 14, but I had to deal with not being the thing you thought I was. As a result, I'm 32 and still don't have kids, because I got a really late start on the whole dating someone thing, and I've still never brought anyone home. It's not your fault, but next go round, try not to box your kids the way you were boxed in.

Also, Mama. Leave his ass. Do not marry him. It doesn't matter how upset Grandmama will be, she'll get over it. Just tell her you love her, and go raise that baby alone.

I plan on convincing my mom to leave my dad. Sadly, 6 isn't young enough to prevent him from ruining her life, though. But at least she'll get out earlier, and also I can hopefully prevent her from having a surgery that completely changed her life for the worse.

You shame me, Ms. Bot. You shame me.

(Finally something I can almost answer!)

So, I don't have an app, but I use this, and it's amazing. Takes around 30-45 minutes to set up.

Yes, Pipedbot, that is a YouTube link. Proceed with your public shaming.

a graphical chart you can link to the original spreadsheet and have emailed to yourself monthly

I've been considering it more and more. There's a gym nearish with a pool, and I'm a very strong swimmer, and it's one of the few exercises that isn't physically painful because of my bad back and feet. But for real, I know no one is actually making fun of me or other heavy people in that environment. It's more my own brain narrating the worst possible opinions and applying them to everyone I meet. Which, funnily enough, is me doing to everyone else what I fear they are doing to me: being unkind.

Is there a double meaning here I'm not aware of? That does just straight up say anals, right?

That's precisely why I'm not there. I'm too fat for the gym. There are women and Children present. I'd scar them for life.

ETA:

To clarify: This is not what happens, this is my own self conscious, self loathing behavior giving me excuses for not bettering myself. I am aware of my mental health problems, I'm just not dealing with them.

I'm very much so the same. My advice, to fill that craving, is a smoked sausage, cooked until it's blackened. So good. So much better than hotdogs.
