No spoilers, this episode is freaking gold though.

My wife and I are into somnophilia, and have discussed it and everything, so it's all completely consensual. She really likes being woken up to being pleasured, and I really like the way her body reacts to me when she's asleep. 🤷‍♀️

It almost always starts for us though with her having a sex dream/getting turned on in her sleep. I have a low sex drive, so it's almost always her initiating things this way. Anyway I'm curious, what do y'all do when your partner gets turned on in her sleep beside you while you're still awake? Do you shake her awake before starting anything? Genuinely curious.

Mission accomplished 🫡

Long story short, I took my kids to a 4th of July rodeo at the fairgrounds in my fairly red area of a supposedly blueish state. They have a thing called a calf scramble where all the kids 12 and under go out to chase a few calves around and try to grab some ribbons for a prize.

I waited and watched all the kids streaming back to where they belonged and mine still didn't show up. When it was clear they were all out of the arena I flagged an employee, and he told me that some of the kids got herded out a gate on the other end of the bleachers, so I limped as fast as I could down the front, then back again along the back. By the time I returned my son had shown up, but not my daughter. We did another loop of the bleachers, and I started getting really freaked out and looked for the sheriff's deputies I'd seen wandering around.

The employee had me do one more loop of the bleachers, but then the cops had me stay at the registration table so they could find me when they'd found her. That was when I started losing it. I had to do continuous slow breathing to keep from bursting into tears while surrounded by trump supporting rednecks whom I was relying on for help. It didn't help that my son started having a meltdown about not being able to see the rodeo and having to stay by me. I almost started crying again on the drive home just thinking about it.

Anyway, they found her after about half an hour. Another child had told her she could go say hi to the animals.

She was in the pen with the bulls.

Yesterday I was shopping at a thrift store with my kids and asked to look at the cooking knives before we finished checking out, which are kept in a case behind the counter. I found a whole set that I bought and am quite happy about. I also found this little half watermelon thing with a folding knife blade on one end and a folding cheese grater on the other - fascinating, right??

Unfortunately the cheese grater was kind of stuck and I was dumb and I cut myself on the blade getting it out. The cut is on the meat of my thumb, about 3 inches long, and a bit too shallow to bother with medical treatment. It did bleed a fair little bit though, and all they had on hand was a bandaid that was actually smaller than the cut lol. Fortunately I keep plenty of first aid supplies in my car, and now my purse (if only I had started carrying it yet).

The cashier was very apologetic and I reassured her that I considered it my fault, but she said they should have had it taped up and I guess that's fair. I finished checking out and went out to get a big enough bandage, and went on my way. I don't like to make a big deal out of things, and I *really* don't like to get people in trouble.

I have a couple of family members now though telling me that I should have had it documented, spoken to a manager, one says I should have gotten medical attention just because it happened in a store. That one seems especially silly to me, but they have me doubting myself a bit. Should I have made a big deal this time? I really do think it was like... 98% my fault lol.

On a totally different, mildly interesting topic, I pasted this into a word counter to make sure it was under the character limit, and it came back as 74% ai. That's wild, I feel so bad for students right now. Maybe it's just trying to sell me its service to "remove the things that show up as ai"? It did come up as 74% two times with different versions of the text just now...

I'm leaning toward yes just because you shouldn't force your kids to do sports, *however* the backstory is that she has loved gymnastics and gone diligently for years now, until recently they had her compete in her first "practice competition" where she came in last both days. Since then, she has lost her heart for it (understandably!) but I guess I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help her regain her lost drive? She had been talking about working hard and doing completions for more than a year, about doing it for the next 5 years and then transitioning to cheerleading (including competitive).

I want to be clear, this was all always her plan. I want to support her, but jfc it would to be a lot of work for me lol. I had resolved to help her be a competitive athlete if that was something she wanted, and I don't know if it's right to let her walk away from that just because she lost her first competition. Doesn't that set a bad standard? I guess I feel like quitting would be the lazy option for both of us, too. That's probably not how I should look at it, but it's hard not to. I'd really appreciate any advice. 🙏

This newest episode was just phenomenal. I especially liked Summer's little smile when she talked about how pissed Rick would be if he died that way.

It's absolutely adorable, but holy shit they're so bad! 😂😂😂

They have no chance, I am completely tone-deaf and cannot keep a beat, and my wife is not much better. I feel a little bad for cursing them with this particular disability.

I switched because my old one didn't have the new meds I was prescribed (estradiol patches) and I was told they hadn't been able to get them in stock in weeks and had no idea when they would get them.

​

But I also just saw my pain doctor and she scheduled me for a month out instead of two weeks, and prescribed me a month of meds. Walmart pharmacy kept interrogating me every time demanding to know why I was being prescribed opiates, and they also would only release part of the script at a time? It was all very weird. At my new pharmacy, there's none of that. They got the prescription, they filled it immediately on the day they were supposed to (I called to ask when it would be ready so I could plan my errands later in the day, and they said it already was). And when I picked it up, it was literally just a standard transaction with ID shown. I love this place so much. 🥰🥰🥰
