In these times, I'd tip 25% of the total bill. If the bill is under $40 (not likely with a laundry service here), I'd tip $20 flat.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Karl tips like I do during these times.
Through the end of this month, I'm paid regular and it's not like I am doing anything. I am either at work or home. I spend very little. So my bad pay still leaves me with extra cash and I'm doing the most good I can.

Trader Joe's Graperfuit Ginger Sugar Scrub is da bomb.

I'm having a crappy night. Partly because my seriously depressed boyfriend is dealing with starting anti depressants but also bc his mother is driving his anxiety higher and it's causing blow ups between them and him and me. I snapped again and told him that living with her is not good for his mental health or mine and it's hurting our relationship .
She was bugging him all night about something and then a possum got into the laundry room (it's outside the house) and she freaked out which stressed him out and when I went out to help with possum wrangling he blew up.
Seriously with the way she acted you would think there was a rabid raccoon in there.
He is worried about her health if she lives alone and those are some legit concerns but it is a toxic mess for all of. Us.
I know I've mentioned just ending the relationship but I really want to give it a shot at trying. We really started struggling after she moved here.

I'm sorry, askye. It is a lot.

Thanks.
I came home today and he said he hasn't had the best attitude lately and he realizes he needs to change somethings but he won't feel great for a few days (he is supposed to stop weed for his anti depressants and is doing that cold turkey) . So that was a step in the right direction.

Sounds like it. I really, really hope that works, askye.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Best of luck, askye. That's a tough situation.

Our wings are not tired.
That is a step in the right direction, askye. Does he have someone professionally competent to discuss the dynamic with his mother with? That is a tricky element to the mental well being of all.

He doesn't. Any therapy for him is through the VA. So not sure if they even do something like that.
I need to see if my therapist will do telehealth appointment. I see my meds manager person on the 20th and going to ask about trying a different long release ADD meds. Vyvanse works great but I've been kidding myself that I can afford it. It's $250/MTH until my deductible kicks in and that is $1700. So I can't keep throwing away money like that.
If I don't have that expense I can make better decisions about the future. I think it may come down to either he and I get our own place or I get my own place which doesn't mean we break up exactly just means I can't keep living like this.
