I have two step sons who are 13 and 11. They live with their mom and step dad about 4 hours away. I always dread the summers because it means long stays. My house is small and it gets crowded quickly with two extra people here. Every flat surface is covered in their stuff. Trading cards, stuffed animals, candy, books, toys, etc. The only TV in the house gets taken over the whole time so they can play video games. Even my personal computer gets used so they, the two kids and my husband, can all play Minecraft together. Even though all my husband does is yell at them because they aren't playing the way he wants them to.

But this visit has drained me from 30% battery to 5%. With no charging to be found. Because right before they came for their 3 week stay, my husband ran out of his medication. And he has to go back to his doctor to get more refills. And he's not going to do that while the kids are here because he'll "miss time with them." And when he doesn't take his medication the difference is noticeable and downright intolerable. He has ADHD and Autism and his medication really helps him focus and regulate and have structure. When he doesn't take it, he acts just like his kids. So essentially I have three 12 year old boys in my house and no parent. I can't talk to him about anything without him interrupting multiple times to make sound effects, fake punch me and the dogs, dry hump me, grab at my chest, or say one of his three vocal stims 10 times. I just tried to talk to him about our dogs paw pads because they are drying out and fraying and I couldn't say three words without him interrupting me to put his junk in my face or fake punch me with sound effects. I feel so exhausted and stranded and I honest to god can feel the effects of the stress in my body all day. I can't sleep. My joints hurt. My chest hurts. I can hardly think. I go to work and I don't want to come home because it's just a turbulence of children and a partner that acts like a child.

They all went out of town overnight for one night and it's the first time in months I slept through the whole night and felt like I wasn't on edge.

I work in the public and attended a couple events today as well and I only saw two people wearing horrendous MAGA merch. Everyone else went with a much more America focused attire and less politician focused.

I live in a tiny, isolated, mostly LDS and majority Conservative town so it was just nice to see most people expressing love for their country and not the men who run it.

That's it. I have no clue why it happened. I haven't crafted anything from The Death Roll outfit yet and yet there I was dripped out in it from head to toe. I changed my clothes because I don't feel like that outfit fits my Arthur and then it completely disappeared from my inventory.

What a strange glitch.

Like many people my age in America I am a paycheck to paycheck kind of person. I don't have 50+ dollars to spend on merch for the creators I like as much as I wish I did. So I end up only getting to wear merch I can find secondhand and discounted heavily. For the LIFE of me I have not once ever seen GMM merch at a thrift store. But somehow I've found the same exclusive shirt you get if you do the Zak Bagans Haunted Museum VIP tour TWICE! lol. I see lots of band shirts, other YouTubers and content creators but no GMM. :/

I wish there stuff was more affordable but if it's expensive because it's decent quality then that's fair. I check their clearance stuff from time to time but it's always just out of reach for me.

Does anyone have the history on the Magnuson Alumni House in Pocatello? My sister lived in the basement a long time ago and anytime I stayed with her I felt freaked out there. Like people were upstairs at night. There were stairs leading from the basement apartment she lived on up to the main floors and I always felt like someone was on the stairs and in the hallway. Is anyone familiar with the place and know who has lived there in the past?

I'm so jealous of anyone that has seen them live but if you've seen them perform The Summoning live...tell me about it. Or tell me what was your favorite track they performed live? I'm too broke too get to experience it. lol.

School is out so 13 and 11 year old step son are here for the Summer. This morning their going to breakfast with their mom. That was what my husband told me last night.

Fast forward to now and I ask him, "So what time are you taking them to town?"

Him: "You mean what time are WE taking them?"

After going back and forth several minutes of saying I'm not going with him to drop them off at breakfast because I just got up and need to get ready and shower. Still never got an exact time they need to be there. He said, "I think like 10:30." It is currently 10:25 and they are blasting Pink Floyd and yelling and no one is even dressed.

Then I start making breakfast for me and him because I assume since they are going to breakfast soon they don't need a full breakfast here too. After I make enough food for him and I to eat he comes in, "Where's the kids food?"

ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Maybe if you ever answered my questions or gave me a clear answer on anything I ask you I would know what it is you want from me. I'm so tired of playing little guessing games or getting a stand up routine every time I try to figure out what his plans are. And his oldest son does the EXACT same thing. I just really dread the Summer..

Edit: Since he's running late he came running up to ask me where my car keys are. I told him to just take his car because mine has a coolant issue. He grabs my purse, dumps it all on the ground, grabs the keys and left. And said I was "hiding" the keys because I didn't tell him where they were.

I was actively bleeding for almost an entire year. Like not one day without a pad or depends diaper bleeding. FOR A YEAR. My husband would express how upset he was all the time about how we "never had sex anymore" and how that was why he was always so cold to me.

Fast forward to now, and I got on the right medication and lost 35 pounds. I had surgery to stop the bleeding. I'm feeling the most like myself I've felt in 5 years since this all started. Needless to say my libido is way up. More similar to how it was when we first started dating. And all he does is turn me down...he's still cold to me. And he doesn't want to be intimate with me 80% of the time that I ask him. But he'll slap my ass when I'm asleep and he'll grope and grab at my chest when were driving somewhere. I feel so frustrated. PC/MOS took a year of intimacy away from me and now that I've gotten it back, the person I can share it with doesn't want it.

Edit: I will say my theory is that he is "punishing" me. I feel like he's been doing that for a long time. Ever since we got into an argument and I was being nasty towards him and I ended up with a black eye. He was put on probation and he's been cold to me ever since. I've told him this directly and tried to bring up my concerns many times but he shuts down. I feel like he's mad at me all the time..

I've played the same play through of RDR2 for 460 hours. I've had a girl horse almost the entire time. I was hunting a badger and after I shot and killed it Arthur said, "You've never let me down girl." Uh what? I KNOW he has not said that the entire time I've been playing because...well..let's just say there's a reason I always have a female horse. lol. Man I love how much this game has to offer.
