Today is my 5-year anniversary with my husband, we were planning on going on a camping trip to celebrate. He asked today if it was ok to cancel because a bad tooth had been causing him pain all last night. After talking about their refund policy, I told him it was ok to cancel if he was worried about it. We have a dentist appointment scheduled for him, but we couldn't get in before the trip.

He wants to make it up to me by taking me out to dinner at our favorite restaurant this weekend, and I feel bad for feeling a little disappointed. Its a nice restaurant, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to do something special or new for our 5-year. I want to ask to do something this weekend, but don't know what to ask for so last minute. So now I'm here asking if anyone has any ideas on what to do to celebrate, or if I should just keep my disappointment to myself? What would you do?

That's actually what my needy Kentucky bluegrass lawn looks like right now lol, most prairie grass lawns in my area are more drought resistant than the "virgin lawns."

just adding to this cause I found a good picture, really want to get a fine fescue & pollinator mix alone the fine fescue is nice, but the bee pack has super cute flowers

Hello! You have fallen into the tolerance paradox; how can you be tolerant when you're intolerant to intolerance? Easy I'm tolerant because I don't tolerate intolerance. Beliefs aren't equal, anyone who believes in inferiority or inequal treatment for reasons outside ones control should be called out. It is not a live and let live mindset, it's a "live the way I tell you to or you're a bigot" doesn't sound very liberty loving to me. You can dislike it, you can rant, but once you limit peoples access to equal rights and treatment you're infringing on their rights. Any freedom loving American can respect that.

I'll admit I've used it for similar reasons. What I really should be saying is "I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about this right now." Maybe I'll even be brave and say "I don't want to talk about this with you." but it's rare for me to find a person I don't want to hear at all from. That usually comes up because they've already made their arguments, and I've already accepted or rebuttal the points to my own satisfaction. At that point they'll talk themselves into circles looking for justification for parts of their stance, but unable to articulate it themselves. I'll listen to anyone's views at least once, given I'm in the right mindset, but I still wouldn't date someone I don't morally agree with. Life partners should have higher standards than conversation partners, and aligning values is a bare minimum for relationships.

Yes, other space debris.

See, you get my worry. The tension's not bad, just a lot for the kids.

You know, I think that's a good thing, I don't think I'd be excited for an enormous asteroid headed towards Earth.

I'mma do it, I'mma be the one to bring up Undertale this time (estimated 2 hours, worth a few replays), there's also little nightmares (2-4 hours depending on platforming skills) which is a spooky little game, but not too spooky if you ever play in front of the kids.

Yes, there was an odd vibe here I couldn't pin down, I think you found it.

You know, I never tried Diablo 1 even though I grew up religiously playing Diablo 2. Also love the original fallout games, I definitely need to make time for this.

This is my favorite series by Rick Yancey that came out in 2009, but not many people have read it, at least in my area. The language and themes feel almost too mature for a young adult series. The story itself is about a boy's descent lead by his guardian (if you could even call him that) Dr. Warthrop. If you love monsters and cryptids but are well aware of the world's greatest monster, man, then this book speaks your language. If you've read any of the 4 books, SPEAK UP, I WANNA HEAR FROM YOU, please?
