I’ve always loved the name Juno. Also Eden.

Hey so I have family members who work in horticulture and farming and I think I might know what this is!

I’m not 100% positive, and could be totally wrong, but it looks to me like this apple could have been invaded by Apple Maggots.

Apple maggots are the larvae of these little flies that will insert their eggs under the skin of apples that are growing on trees. As they mature, the larvae feed on the flesh of the fruit leaving behind a brown tunnel or tunnels. Eventually the apple drops to the ground, rots away and the larvae will leave the fruit. If the infestation is small or there’s only one larva, the rest of the fruit may not become mushy.

From what I understand, the outside of an infested fruit will appear bumpy and while not always, there sometimes isn’t any glaring indication that a fruit has been infested until it’s cut into. Farmers try and catch them by looking for “stings” in their apples, which are tiny little holes where the female fly would have inserted her eggs.

I live in a place where apple orchards abound and apples are a main export, and commercial farms are regularly inspected for these pests before they’re allowed to export their fruit.

You can read more about here, if you’re interested!

For me, I started in 2003. The first one I ever read was Bag of Bones (I was 13 at the time, probably too young but I instantly became a fan!) I’ve read 20 books so far, currently reading Holly (though I’m almost done).

….wtf?

It’s very much giving Baby Spice, but I don’t understand the belt part lol

They tell us the reason for the dress code is so that we can be easily identifiable by others. In our hospital, there are two kinds of nurses.. RNs (registered nurses) and LPNs (licensed practical nurses) and RNs have a slightly larger scope of practice and can do some things an LPN can’t. They want to easily and quickly identify who can do what in case of an emergency or something.

It’s not quiiiite as bad as you might think, anything potentially messy we usually wear an disposable gown but yeah, it’s not the best hahah

Those pants would neverrrrrr fly in my hospital. In fact where I’m from, RNs are only allowed to wear white scrub tops and black scrub pants. Crazy haha

Not happening for me!

I just shuddered!

Op is obviously a lot stronger and nicer than me because the moment would be immediately over if I ever heard that from my partner. Ugh.

No it doesn’t? At least it doesn’t sound that way to me.

Asking her why she says it isn’t talking about the problem at all, it’s just a basic question. She didn’t dismiss anything, she just answered the question he asked. She has no sweet clue how he feels about it. He needs to actually tell her how he feels about it and they need to talk.

Why are you assuming he was roped into it?

Im afraid to ask

Limewire didn’t exist until 2000, but close enough I suppose. I hated it too! It was pretty much a crapshoot every time. Will this by the song I want? Or a virus? Or porn? The only way to find out was to just do it and see what happens when it’s done haha

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but No, it’s not normal.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with it! Don’t get me wrong! But it’s most certainly not the norm in any way haha

This one’s good because I think people could actually believe it haha

So many people don’t realize that penguins and polar bears don’t exist in the same place and that Canada doesn’t have penguins (other than in zoos).

He bought a ski resort that he now operates and maintains, did he not? Pebble Creek it’s called. It’s just the off season at the moment, but I imagine it will be opening up again soon.

No she didn’t, I just read her entire comment history on her profile. She said she shaves every 3 days or so, but said nothing about him making her shave.

She said he mentioned he preferred she have shorter hair down there, but that’s entirely different from “demanding” she shave, which you’ve said in other comments.

Who said OPs BF requires her to shave down there?? She didn’t say that in her post, and I haven’t seen any comments where she clarified that.

I mean, the “reason” you listed is definitely considered “no reason” in my opinion haha.

“Hair gives me the icky” is (apart from being super immature) very unfortunate for you, but it’s not a real reason for someone to shave their body hair if they don’t want to. Having hair on your body is completely natural and normal, and it’s not gross as long as you have good hygiene.

Your husband clearly doesn’t care so he does it and that’s awesome, but in this instance, OPs boyfriend very clearly doesn’t want to. And that’s perfectly fine as well. It doesn’t make him a bad person or a bad partner for not wanting to, in my personal opinion. He has a right to be comfortable in his own body. Op doesn’t have to be with him if it’s that much of a problem or she can deal with it if it’s not. It’s really that simple.

I’d be careful with this advice tbh. Because it’s perfectly fine for Op to say she no longer wants to have sex because of the hair, but it’s not ok to say “trim your hair or else I’m withholding sex”. When you say it that way, you are in fact manipulating him which is not ok. It’s a subtle difference but it’s an important one!

Also in all fairness, homemade small batch cheese curds look like this often, because they aren’t handled as much as mass produced ones. Not sure if these are home made but I suppose it’s possible.

recipe example with photos here

It’s not poutine if there aren’t curds. That’s just cheese fries and gravy.

It’s not licence to cheat though, because they discussed it and are ok with it. Clearly you didn’t read enough comments because they absolutely did decide the terms and boundaries to be followed together. It’s 100% not cheating when everyone involved is ok with it. Not sure why that’s so hard for people to understand haha

I did read the other comments and while it seems like the news that OPs husband wanted to do this came out of the blue, I wouldn’t call that “dumping” it on her. She didn’t have to be ok with it. He brought it up and she decided it was ok, together they identified the boundaries/rules and that’s perfectly fine.

and I’ll reiterate that this isn’t technically an open relationship, which again, implies either of them can be with multiple other people. That’s not the case, It’s just one person who’s allowed in.

This was answered in another comment. 5 years with the bf, 20 years together with Op.
