To put an even finer point on it the one you want js called a dohm and it makes the noise mechanically, not with an audio file.

I know people love to hate them, but my KitchenAid has served me well, for almost a decade now. BUT I did opt for one of the ones that was marketed as professional grade (who knows) and I expected it would break within it's warranty period so I bought it at Costco to facilitate an easy return.

Also, don't mention that you're going back to school in the interview. It's a sure way to not get the offer.

Would this still be your dream job after obtaining the degree you're looking for? If so, do the job full time, take classes super part time. Don't screw up the dream job for the sake of the degree that you're pursuing to obtain the dream job.

Man I'm so sorry for your situation. It really really sucks.

Your gf sounds like she is in a state of mental health crisis, and that needs to be addressed. I don't know what can be done to get her help, but she needs it. As a part of her getting help, she will likely interface with a social worker, who will also be able to help resolve things.

It does sound like you're deep in the darkness too.

From the details of your post, I assume that mental healthcare would be hard to get due to lack of resources. If that's incorrect, then by all means, you should seek treatment for yourself too.

Poverty fucking sucks. Feeling like you can't make ends meet when you have the responsibility of a family is absolutely crushing. Have you taken advantage of the community resources that are around? Things like welfare, food stamps, WIC, etc?

It does sound like maybe it would be a good idea for your kids to spend some time with relatives if you have them, while you and your gf regroup. I strongly feel that your gf is not in the frame of mind to care for them on her own.

Having young kids around is fucking hard. Nobody likes to admit it because it gets in the way of all those perfect Facebook posts, but if we're being honest with ourselves, it's very very hard. Raising a young family on a seriously tight budget is enough to drive anyone to the edge.

For that frequency, I'd probably get one. I use mine less frequently, but I like it a lot. Especially for kneading. The only downside is that it doesn't work well with small volumes.

I do have the pro model, and they are expensive. Maybe a used or refurbished one would do the trick.

We also have a smaller hand mixer we use probably just as often (if I'm being honest).

As someone who live in a very ugly impossible to heat house from the victorian era, I feel heard. It hasn't fallen down yet, but man it's on its way.

Do we expect the lifespan of Chinese iron to be less than American iron?

Maybe youcanbiyitforlife can also lean more towards stuf that's more affordable. Just because a $600 blanket is available to be purchased doesn't mean that I can buy it.

What's funny face?

Man, I've read a lot of bad things on here but you may have won.

Your wife must feel so humiliated. Her friend must feel so icky.

Alcohol is no excuse.

The thing you did was in inside you and alcohol let it out. I kinda refuse to accept the excuse of wanting to comfort the friend.

My suspicion is that you're freaked out about the commitment of getting married and have a tendency to self sabotage.

I don't think abstaining from drinking is going to be enough to save this level of screw up. Curious to see what people think could help.

Then get yourself into inpatient treatment/rehab. You probably ruined your friendship with that guy. He will not see you the same way again. Get your priorities straight.

To answer your question "what should I do?"

You should seek treatment, go to therapy, and eventually become open to the reality that there are other fish in the sea.

No, but people who are dating and suffer extreme mental illness are often not emotionally or mentally available to be in a relationship. And we're not talking about garden variety depression, we're talking about a suicide attempt. It's not fair to expect the S/O in a situation like this to stick around walking on egg shells, unable to speak up or disagree for fear their partner might try again.

If these people do not have long term obligations to each other, they have no long term obligation to each other.

This sounds much much better than the alternatives. I'm sad to say that we may be approaching this point in the next few years with our cat and it's a comfort to know that such a humane option exists.

Could you please share how this works?

Dedicated cat lover here. I've gone to some pretty extreme (and costly) measures to bring my cat back to better health...but in this case, with a 17 year old cat who is clearly suffering and clearly near her end, it would be a kindness to help her pass with whatever dignity she has left. Without your help she may last a day, a month, or even a year, but eventually she will pass-- and her life will only get more agonizing.

Cool! I can't wait to try one. Are they itchy (bc wool)?

Those look really nice, but I think they are probably different from the wool ones people go nuts over. I've never used either. One of these days I want to check them out. They certainly have a loyal following around here.

Are the ones at costco the wool ones (that cost hundreds) or are they fleece (that are like $50)?

The lack of replies to your post is truly a disappointment.

Ok, I know this will sound like a joke, but my most treasured it from Australia is a really nice didgeridoo. I'm not a particularly capable didge player, but every time I see it I think fondly of Australia and the traditional culture there.

Also, buy everything you can from Costco They will actually honor the manufacturer warranty, even when the manufacturer tries to snake their way out of replacing your item.

Op, pay attention to this one! Chainmail scrubbers are awesome for that cast iron!

I really like my Vitamix. Instant read probe thermometer, cast iron cookware, wustoff knives. I don't love our instant pot.
