The poor penguins don't deserve that.

I had the misfortune of having to deal with Sun Life a few years ago- they are one of the worst companies to deal with. Their claim forms conveniently had no mailing address, so I had to call and ask for it. Their online claims were no better - cumbersome and confusing. I was convinced that they purposely hired illiterate people to process claims as the rejection reasons often were for missing information...that was right on the receipt. Only after resubmitting the receipt with the item circled for them did I get my reimbursement.

My sympathy goes to those forced to deal with this company.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I hold a monthly b-grade movie night and have never had that experience, but attendance has varied. Sometimes only 2-3 people come, and other times we're cramming kitchen chairs between the couches. Most people will let me know if they cannot come, though. There have been people over the years that didn't come, didn't message, and I stopped inviting them. Those who do attend regularly are reliable, and tend to introduce friends with similar qualities.

If I may offer a friendly suggestion, just directly provide event information to your potential guests. Making people click on extra links reduces the likelihood they'll come. If something is important, make finding the information as straightforward as possible. I directly message each friend via their preferred platform a short message with the date, time, what to expect and what to bring (write it once, then copy and paste).

Also, timing of an invite is important. I find 1 week notice is good for most, and one friend needs 2 week notice so they can arrange their work schedule. Almost no one can make last minute invites work (day of or day before). For more context, all of my invitees are working adults with no children. You may need to adjust your timeline for what is suitable for your demographic.

Stella also enjoys being a tripping hazard.

If I'm going to spend that on a cafe beverage, I have better options, like locally owned cafes that often have better quality and service.

I hope that you have some people in your life that you can get support from. Please don't let mysoginists undermine or gaslight you to think that you don't matter. Wishing you well, OP.

You have an excellent new supervisor.

Hi Bitty!

Repeating fungus gnats as the answer. I use a few strategies to manage them:

• yellow "sticky strips" (can be purchased at garden stores and Amazon) that you stick into the pot. They're ugly, but the flies love them.
• dish soap bath for plants that can handle it (the blue Dawn extra strong soap is best).
• bottom watering, or letting the top of the soil dry out between waterings

Humid environments require lighter watering. You might want to get a soil moisture detector so you can see how moist your soil really is and determine if you need to water.

You just know that she's sending "hey Hun" messages while waiting in lines.

I think the overall style is fun, but symmetrical eyebrows and lips would make it better (this is meant as constructive criticism)- it makes the image seem a bit 'off'. You're work is showing great range, and I appreciate your experimenting with the medium. Keep up the great work!
