# "Taken After Four": I had just finished my shift at the warehouse—twelve hours of loading trucks for the holiday rush. Christmas was only a few weeks away, and all I could think about on the drive home were the Barbie dolls I’d ordered for my little girl, Emily. She was seven, endlessly energetic, always bouncing between wanting to be a doctor or an astronaut. My wife, Lisa, stayed home with our toddler, and Emily usually hopped off the school bus a little after four. I pulled into our gravel driveway just past five. The house sat back from the road, quiet and tucked between winter-bare fields. I expected to see Emily’s pink jacket tossed somewhere by the porch like alway...

I’ll try keep this short. My mother is a very loving person and I’m sure she has my best interests at heart no matter what she does. However she is also a very very very short tempered person. She will scream and yell at my brother and I several times a day and it really truly can go from 0-100 very quickly, like if my brother can’t find something in the kitchen it’ll devolve into shouting real quick. In her defense she is a single mother and I know she carries a lot of the family’s + some of the extended family’s weight on her shoulders and I admire her hugely for that. But on the other hand she told me she was quick tempered as a child and the “one thing she regrets” is not...

I run a small Shopify store selling customizable apparel, mainly hoodies, sportswear, and embroidered pieces. Customers love choosing patterns, colors, and placement, but my current setup is super basic and doesn’t show real previews. I’ve been looking at "online product configurator" tools, but a lot of them seem geared toward super simple items or drop-shipping templates. Apparel can get complicated with layers, textures, and print areas, so I need something that doesn’t glitch when people make multiple changes. If anyone here has implemented a configurator specifically for clothing or print on demand setups, I’d appreciate hearing what actually worked in practice and wh...

It drives me nuts not only when there are no logical subs, but what REALLY grinds my gears is when there ARE logical subs, yet it tells me they aren’t the same category or can’t be done— but YES THEY ARE! Two days ago, Walmart brand zucchini was all gone-yet I found the organic brand— and nope. Why do they ask to write the customers, which I DO, I show them what it is and they say “of course, it’s a couple dollars more but I desperately need it for my dinner tonight….” Then I have to tell them “sorry, I can’t. Walmart says it’s not a real veggie, even tho that is the EXACT same veggie”. (I don’t say it like that, but, I think it). And what’s hilarious is when ...

So this will be very long and I (34F) apologize now. It's going to be a full length novel...Normally I would try to keep my long winded-ness more reined in but I just need to speak to the void and it's like 2yrs of BS to go through... So on Jan 4th of 2024, there was an incident. Cops were called and they found my brother's (36m) meth just out in the open in his room. The cops weren't even looking for it, it was just within view when they went to his room. It's my house so they removed my kids (12M & 11F) for 6 weeks until they could clear I was being truthful when I said I had nothing to do with it. I had suspected he had fallen off the wagon in recent ...

Can someone please advise if this is the real offical Australia Store - https://aulive25store.oasisinet.com

When it happened once I though I must’ve forgotten to watch the video, which is weird considering addicted to this game. I play every day and right now I have the daily gem pass so there’s no way I’d forget to log in. Every night before bed I watch ALL the videos (energy, daily task rewards, gacha tickets x3). I also watch the daily deal video twice a day, as well as when you get the option to watch a video after submitting a comp. It’s a routine I’d never skip. After submitting the last comp, the one who starts around 9 pm for me, I vote even after I have 15 tickets to get those extra coins. I’d 100% notice if I hadn’t watched a gacha ticket video since the red notification do...

I prefer buying second hand because it’s more sustainable, cheaper and I’m not limited to current trends/collections. Most used clothing doesn’t retain its value very well, so you can score some good deals. I’ve noticed that Sezane specifically is really expensive when I look for items on Vinted or ebay. It’s often only like 10-20% off the retail price for clothing that has already been worn, and they still sell. For that reason, I now find myself gravitating towards just ordering off the official store where I at least have free shipping and returns, even though it’s less sustainable. Anyone else feel the same? Am I just looking in the wrong places?

All the characters that have alternate looks already in the game that could be made into skins and SHOULD (please, kuro ;-;), notwithstanding, I really, REALLY hope Chisa gets one. It's gonna bug me if she doesn't and I feel as though she really just should, narratively. Since >!the reason why her clothes are so worn is because she's been trapped for a hot minute and didn't have anything else!<so like, if/when we see her again in the future, it wouldn't make for her not to have new clothes. >!Especially if she reunites with her mother who's actually been designing the Startorch uniforms, and you can't tell me she wouldn't give he...

Im 32, I work from home a lot and my office is very casual dress code. Im quite a frugal person but today I splurged on a blind box of clothes on marketplace. I liked most things but I tried on this really pretty frilly white top and I loved it but I kept staring at myself wondering why I felt so weird until my husband pointed out its very feminine looking and I'm normally in jeans and a t shirt or looking like a body double for Adam Sandler. I really liked how I looked in it and for once I felt pretty? Anyway to get to my point I don't really shop much so can you please recommend some stores I could find in NZ or that ship to NZ from Aus that aren't super expensive? T...

Most middle-class families don’t lose money because of “bad luck.” They lose money because of **hidden financial behaviors** that quietly drain their salary month after month. These patterns are so subtle that people don’t even notice them. As an ex-banker, I have seen these mistakes repeat across **thousands of middle-class and salaried families**, regardless of income. Money is not just about numbers. **Money is behavior science.** And when middle-class behavior follows the wrong patterns, the salary disappears without any visible warning. Today, we decode these patterns in detail. These are not random tips — these are **deep, psychological money patterns** I have seen ...

I didn’t notice at first when the shadows disappeared. Maybe that sounds strange, but shadows are one of those things you don’t pay attention to unless they’re wrong. You don’t step out of your front door in the morning and say, *Good, my shadow is still here.* You just expect it. Just like you expect your town to function, your neighbors to speak, and air to taste like nothing at all. It was a Tuesday when the first military trucks rolled into Briar’s Point. Briar’s Point… God, I haven’t said the name out loud since I left. Even thinking it feels like peeling a scab off something that hasn't finished bleeding. I remember wiping down the counter at my gas station�...

*Warning* unnecessary backstory en route I am 18 and my wife is 17, we met 4 years ago in highschool, almost immediately we decided we wanted to travel the world together as soon as she turns 18 so we started saving money! About 1 1/2 years later we also decided we wanted to get married and have our dream wedding prior to leaving. (Both the traveling and the wedding would huge financial tasks on their own let alone both at once) We have been able to work hard enough at normal grocery store & fast food jobs to have enough money that we can not only travel the world for 3 years starting the end of this January, but we also were able to afford the most beautiful wedding you have e...

hi, for some background : I'm 17(F) and a senior in high school. I've kinda always had issues with my parents, but it truly got worse when they divorced a couple years ago. my dad has crazy anger issues and hes always mad, and my mom has some \*undiagnosed extreme adhd. shes also probably "bipolar" to a certain degree (one minute she acts like my best friend- the next shes calling me names and breaking/throwing stuff at me). I'm never one to argue back, atleast not anymore. whenever I'm being screamed at i just sit there and stare at them with a straight look on my face. i try to show no emotion- no tears, nothing. but the screaming has gotten worse, especially ...

Had a few of my true paranormal experiences written out in my notes and figured I'd post them here (just joined this subreddit). A few smaller stories of mine just include things like seeing "shadow figures," some when I was a kid and some more recently. Also some unexplainable sounds here and there too, often accompanied by a figure or something (like hearing foot steps as they walked). But I'll fully type out the more interesting ones here. So if u like reading true mini paranormal stories, then check my account to read the others! I'll post the most interesting one (imo) first. Enjoy! I think this is the only paranormal story of mine that I can't for th...

Showing pic from the website to show what I mean. It's a (cheap) fancy suit vest, the type you put over your shirt and tie. I didn't show the one I have because try as I might, there isn't a single label with cleaning instructions on it. Not even a ''dry clean only''. Nothing except a brand name and the size. I included the informations from the website to help. It seems that it's made of polyester. What would you guys do to clean this? Do you think putting it in the washer on the most delicate setting then hanging to dry would work? Or should I only take it to a dry cleaner? I know that the ''fancy'' ones you get from actual formal...

Some say it marched out of the sea under a ****** moon, here to expel our town of all hope - a monster to punish the naive prospectors of Maple Oaks who spent their gold on false witch hunts; an avenger of the young women burnt at the pyre, drowning the land for rebirth. Others say it was summoned within the forest, rendering a body of shimmering water an ancient gateway. Not a monster, but a deity from a far-off pantheon to be used as a tool for occult ambition. It brought unrivalled life and good fortune to the woods and its creatures, warping the trees into divine guardians. I think it was just a man. An affluent founder who built our mines, our port, and, over time, fabricated fables ar...
