I buy things and then don't use them. It can be food, shoes, clothes, what ever ! I don't go out shopping looking for things to buy on purpose. It is worse in shoes and clothes. Here is a couple of examples.
I have 5 new pair of shoes I bought Sketchers and Clark sandles and they are STILL in the box. Then I have NEW clothes with the tags on them. Bought them to wear to an occasion and then didn't so there they HANG ! Oh, and 2 new purses.
Just last week I bought a complete outfit of a jacket, capri's and top plus a pair of Dockers and 3 tops. What do I end up wearing all the time, my same OLD stuff. It's like I want to keep them NEW !! if that makes any sense. It's not a waste of money as I will eventually wear them (someday).
DH doesn't say anything as he likes to see me buy things for myself. As I get older I find myself doing this more. Plus I go up and down in weight like a YO-YO !

habit
sounds like you all are getting into a habit. . . a rut so to speak. . break up the rut now. . a person can only treat you badly (or call you names) if you let them. . sometime when you aren't fussing with each other, you need to have a serious talk. . working from home is very difficult with all the little distractions and anything he can do to help -instead of hinder- would be great. . you don't bother him or distract him at his work do you? It is hard to get people to understand that this is a real job with a real schedule, etc. .
communication is the answer. . I read somewhere once that anger isn't a real emotion - it is just a response to another emotion that you don't know how to deal with, such as frustration, fear, etc. . .
Weird kitty habit - what does it mean? (sm)
This is the first cat I've had to do this behavior, and I have no clue what it means - must be some instinct maybe? Whenever she goes to one of her water bowls (that have fresh water put in them every day), just before she starts drinking, she wipes her front feet on the floor, like she's digging a hole. Then she drinks.
I've seen cats act like they're burying their dinner after they've had enough to eat, and heard that it is an instinct that goes back to wild cats, lions, etc. burying their kill so they can come back to it later. But what do you think the foot-wiping thing is?
Yes, dogs are creatures of habit. Nothing you have

Old dog keeps chewing front paw - new habit for him
any idea what causes it and if it is okay to put tea tree oil on it? He is 14 years old and has been doing this for a couple of weeks. Has a raw spot there now.
Very easy. It is all a habit. My daughter
becamew a vegetarian and I followed.
Meat is good for its protein and its vitamin B12, etc...
But you can get these also from other food sources.
Plant protein is much healthier than animal protein.
Actually, all animal products are not good. They are all high in cholesterol and fat, the bad one, saturated fat. Even lean meat contains saturated fat, bad, bad.
On top of it, meat makes the blood and body acidic, that's also not good.
Furthermore, nowadays HORMONES are added to the animal fooder, especially estrogen, this makes the animals fatter and it makes also us fat.
After considering all this, I believed my daughter and converted to a vegetarian.
Amen.
Stealing child: How to break the habit??? sm
We have a 6-year-old foster child whose birth mom had a stealing problem. Our 6-year-old has had several episodes where she was caught stealing both before she came to live with us and since moving in with us. Conversations with her about it being wrong to steal, talking with the caseworker, psychologist & even a policeman have helped but occasionally she steals something from a store anyway. The last episode was this weekend when she stole some nail polish when my husband turned his back for a moment, even when she was being allowed to buy some lip gloss she was wanting.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get her to stop stealing? I've talked to the local juvenile court system and all they said was they couldn't do anything unless she is actually arrested.... which of course we're trying to stop. Of note her biological mother had a problem with being arrested several times for stealing and even though it's not documented, we suspect that this child would see her mother steal or her mom had her steal at times for her. There are plenty of times we can go into a store without problems with her, it's only every few months she steals.
Thank you.
Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM
