Regretter d'avoir été gentile, mais au final, ça va

J'étais chez E.Leclerc vers 10 heures ; le magasin commençait à se remplir, mais sans excès (c'était l'été). J'avais un chariot avec quelques articles — pas énormément, mais tout de même de quoi faire. Un couple est arrivé derrière moi : l'homme tenait un paquet de baguettes et un autre article, tandis que sa femme portait un sac de pommes. Je leur ai demandé s'ils voulaient passer devant moi, alors même que j'avais déjà déposé mes courses sur le tapis roulant. J'ai demandé dès qu'ils sont arrivés, mais le gars a dit : « Je veux **bien** » ...comme s'il m'en voulait pour je ne sais quelle raison ; il a ensuite regardé le tapis roulant et m'a dit de retirer mes affaires pour qu'il ait un peu de place. Je vous rappelle qu'il tenait du pain et un autre article, tandis que sa femme avait que des pommes. Il a été tellement désagréable que j'ai immédiatement regretté de lui avoir proposé de passer devant moi.

Heureusement, l'histoire se termine bien. Une mamie s'est approchée avec un livre et un autre article (j'ai oublié lequel) ; j'ai hésité, mais je lui ai tout de même proposé de passer devant moi. Elle a refusé, disant qu'elle avait tout son temps. Je suis américainne mais j'adore les romans français ; nous avons donc discuté de son livre — elle lit le même genre que moi — et elle m'a conseillé un nouvel ouvrage (*Un crime au paradis*). L'échange a été si agréable que je ne regrettais plus du tout d'avoir proposé à d'autres de passer devant moi.

New to candles but it feels like my candle should last longer

Not sure if I can name drop, but we have an American brand of candle company here (think ____ doodle dandy) and I tried them out and actually love them, there is a little 5€ / 37g one that I really like but it only lasts (I light it for maybe half an hour to an hour before bedtime while I am reading a book) maybe a week.
I love the smell, it lingers, but how long are they supposed to last? I get small ones at first until I'm sure I like the smell. Pumpkin spice season is on the horizon so I am shopping around a bit now

Américaine / 91 / Marriage

For nationality, I am told I only need my birth certificate apostilled, is this the case or do I also need my parents ?

Americaine trying to become french

Hey, I am in the 91, been here for 10 years now and married to a French for more than five so I am applying for French nationality.
My translator says the french authorities won't accept birth certificates that aren't apostilled.
Has anyone ever dealt with this? Let me know your experiences please. I am in Evry and it was nearly impossible to get this rdv for early September so I am sweating a bit

Has anyone ever gotten a birth certificate from Oregon apostilled?

I have my moms birth certificate, she was born in Astoria (soo many amazing childhood memories from the GoonDocks) and the bottom looks like it has been apostilled, but I'm not sure. I need it for dual citizenship and I'm in Europe and I need it for September 1st.

It says at the bottom;
I certify that this is a true and correct copy of the original certificate on file...
and it signed by a PhD from State Registrar. I think this means that it's apostilled.

Has anyone ever gotten an apostilled birth certificate? Is this what it is? Thanks in advance

Combien dépensez-vous par semaine pour les courses ?

J'habite dans le 91 et je vais chez E.Leclerc et Grand Frais une ou deux fois par semaine. J'ai une chatte ; elle ne me coûte pas plus de 18 € par mois en litière et en nourriture. Elle dispose d'un immense jardin bien clôturé qui lui sert de toilettes, donc j'ai de la chance.

Entre les savons, les rasoirs, les produits d'entretien et tout le reste, cela me revient à environ 220e pour mon mari, notre fils de 10 ans et moi, prés de 900e par mois

Je n'achète ni plats préparés pour micro-ondes ni surgelés ; je cuisine tout moi-même. On ne mange pas forcément très sainement, mais on évite les chips et la malbouffe ; j'achète parfois du chocolat, mais il me dure généralement assez longtemps.

Quel est le budget de chacun ? Avez-vous des astuces pour faire des économies ? Je regarde toujours les promos chez Grand Frais, mais j'hésite à acheter mes légumes chez E.Leclerc — c'est l'une de mes principales mauvaises habitudes.

My big issue with todays emergency hearing on lealed info

Ok so judge isn't messing around, and I'm so ticked that Jackson couldn't even be heard.

But essentially what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is this weaponizes the plantiffs. If house parties leak info, Proctors depo may be suppressed or a judgement (in their favor?) is what ju​does threatened, right?

This insentivises plantiffs to leak info since judge is indiscriminately punishing all attorneys and majorly prejudices miss Read. Am I wrong?

Does anyone have experience on French airline cards?

Im wondering if I (35F) should sign up for my first credit card, only because there are a ton of business purchases I make and then later get reimbursement for. For example, tank of gas, horse supplies and food or vet stuff, or even stuff for my kids schooling my huisband will pay me back for since my acct is designated for pretty much just groceries

The AMEX Air France cards dont even really seem worth it, considering FrenchBee has super cheap flights from an airport near me (ORLY)

Would love to hear any and all advise on this or if someone has a similar situation
