frozenrider15 said:I’ve been eyeing the pharmacy technician program at a local medical school. But looking at the numbers, it’s a bit grim. The cutoff was 73 points, sure, but the last person who actually snagged a spot last year had 76.57. The year before that? 77.72. With my track record—mostly Bs in math during middle school and just two Bs in eighth grade—I don't exactly look like a scholar. And I don't have any extra credit to lean on.
It honestly makes me feel for her. When I think back to my own high school days, I was sitting there with a C in math one year and an average that hovered right around a 3.0, yet I still managed to squeeze into a prep school. Looking back, I really feel for her struggle.

In my opinion, this is just a total tragedy of our modern education system...
it honestly breaks my heart for our kids...😢

My kid basically pulled straight A's on all his science tests throughout the entire school year
When you look at his oral presentations, class projects, and just his overall effort—he was definitely performing at an A+ level
So, naturally, his teacher gave him an A, but honestly? She could have easily handed him a B and I wouldn't have breathed a word against her... I even mentioned that to him, just so he understands that, by my own standards, he hasn't quite hit that top-tier excellence yet
But then again, he's only in fourth grade, so... 😁

Maria Barnes said:Hallelujah! Finally! That’s the whole point. You all stepped up and handled the situation unanimously. You made it crystal clear that such behavior won't fly. That’s all that matters. We don't even need a moderator. This is how you should handle things from now on.

The "undeniably" problematic posts weren't left up because we let them stay. They get deleted. Otherwise, they're gone.

In that case, we don't even need moderators at all 👋 👋 👋

Joseph Rivera75 said:It’s still cheating. You don't sign up for marriage just to bail tomorrow. And honestly, does it even matter if there was someone else involved, or if you were playing the field on the side, or if you slept with someone else?
At the end of the day, it's all the same thing.

But what if you're leaving just to find yourself?
I'm really not following your logic here...

Adam Davis2 said:So, is solo play actually a scam? 😳

Not at all... just keep going

Joseph Rivera75 said:And leaving someone is just what happens when you break a lifelong vow, right?
We can try to wrap everything up under the umbrella of infidelity, but there are plenty of ways to cheat besides just some Sunday afternoon hookup.

Wait, how exactly is that cheating? 🤔

If you're just unhappy in a relationship and you realize you can't do it anymore, that isn't betrayal...

Now, maybe it would be considered cheating if you were walking away because you already met someone else—you know, leaving one person specifically to jump into the arms of another...

nimblemarlin6 said:What nobody knows can't hurt anybody.

That previous bolded sentence sounds perfectly true and reasonable to me.
If it stays unknown, it's as if it never happened.

Just imagine a partner goes on a business trip to Chicago.
Who knows what went down on that trip. Maybe they were part of some massive orgy... If everything continues as usual and no STI pops up, then really, nothing ever happened.
Right?

***

I'd say I'd rather be the cheater.

But I have this one psychological hang-up about it.
See, even when an open opportunity presents itself, I get this feeling—this nagging sense—that I'm doing something wrong, something ugly and low.
And the opportunity is right there, all you have to do is take it!

I consider it my own flaw—some kind of Catholic atavism buried deep in my agnostic psyche—and I really need to suppress it so I can finally run wild like every other normal modern man!

Personally, I call that a moral compass, and I actually think having one is a good thing...🙂

Because it takes two to tango. People who get dumped usually have a blind spot when it comes to their own bullshit.
If he’s cheating, there’s clearly a reason—he obviously wasn't happy with me.
Kuzis?

And we’re right back to square one: people refusing to admit they messed up.
I once watched this couple up close where she was being a total nightmare while playing the victim. She couldn't see how her own behavior drove her husband straight into the arms of someone else—someone who actually had some redeeming qualities.

But we aren't talking about breakups, we're talking about infidelity

Look, I'm not trying to validate any excuse for them—seriously, let's move on from that already

To me, cheating is just the ultimate betrayal of trust...

feralranger said:...besides, everyone seems to have their own peculiar little definition of what actually constitutes "cheating."

For the vast majority of people, it boils down to those most prone to jealousy and possessiveness, specifically focusing on the physical act itself.

However, if you ask anyone else, the line moves constantly; some individuals—and quite frankly, many of them—would argue that "infidelity" includes things like:

- a kiss (specifically a "French" kiss)
- a simple kiss on the lips without tongue
- dancing that leans a bit too heavily into erotic movement or touch
- texting that delves into deep emotional intimacy...
- and so on (it’s a moving target, really, as different people will list different offenses, and even genders tend to diverge here, since men and women often experience jealousy through slightly different lenses, despite the inevitable overlap)

Ultimately, depending on just how much someone struggles with possessiveness, any one of these actions could swing anywhere from being a "no big deal" moment to a full-blown, relationship-ending drama.

I agree with everything you listed here. ☕

Austin Bailey3 said:But what about a fourth? Or a fifth? 🕺

🙂

I’m honestly being so picky that I can’t even make up my mind—Sorry, I know... 😁
I don't cheat, ever, and I certainly wouldn't put up with anyone trying to deceive me. Period.

And just so I can get ahead of any haters out there—I have never once broken up with someone because of a third party 😛

I ended up picking this up just to frost a cake since I had some leftovers from a previous project

As for the meat and veggies, I actually whipped up my own fondant from scratch—it really is such a breeze once you get the hang of it...

Check out what I whipped up yesterday! 🙂
It’s got this chocolate sponge inside—kind of like those classic chocolate snack cakes you find at a gas station—layered with a rich chocolate ganache...

Rachel Palmer56 has such a sweet way with words...

As for those peaches—I have to tip my hat to them... I just can't bring myself to do it...

stormygardener93 said:I’ve been doing similar stuff for years now, and honestly, the best ones are definitely 👍 🙂
here is one I found on AllRecipes https://www.coolinarika.com/recept/k...9-0242ac120043—and I always make a double batch because they disappear in seconds (talking about that recipe from AllRecipes)

You really don't need butter in there, seriously, give it a shot 😉

Look, whenever I whip up a pound of chocolate treats, I usually end up having to 😂

Nicole Myers said:Oh boy, this actually looks pretty promising... 🙂 It has that unpainted, rustic look—almost reminds me of those little peach candies—but looking closer at the ingredients, it's definitely something else entirely.

Hazelnuts, hazelnuts, hazelnuts with chocolate... 🙂

I think I'll just follow your recipe exactly—actually, I might just whip up a double batch alongside my usual ones since I'm really aiming for the path of least resistance here... 🙂

Honestly, it’s a total breeze—just prep the mixture a day ahead, let it chill in the fridge overnight, and then you can just roll the little bites whenever you're ready.

So, here’s my very own take on those coconut Raffaello truffles—some girls from the Jedozovan duo crew actually posted them on their blog, and then a few of my other blogger friends picked them up too...
If I could somehow copyright this recipe, I’d probably be sitting on a fortune by now 😬

Bacci di dama—honestly, they might be my absolute favorite cookies ever, but oh my goodness, the sheer amount of work involved... I haven't made them in ages because of all that effort
But man, the flavor? Truly a showstopper

I actually grabbed the recipe from the Brooklyn blog
