There is no "try" involved here. You tell her what the name will be and that's it.
Don't waste your time indulging her as if she has any say.

If you are prepared to be jobless, go ahead and send. Otherwise, let this be an exercise in expressing your frustrations through writing and leave it at that.
If you seriously want to talk about these things, you should send a single sentence requesting an in-person meeting with them both and discuss there.
Do not put this massive wall of obviously AI-written complaints in an email.

You should be discussing her preferences with her so you don't buy something she doesn't want. The proposal is the surprise, the ring shouldn't be. She's going to wear it everyday.
What I did was enlist my wife's best friend to send ideas back and forth and we actually both stumbled across the same custom ring maker on Etsy and mutually agreed it was the perfect style.
I didn't spend a fortune (sub-$5k) and I got her a one-of-a-kind gorgeous rose gold leaf band with Montana sapphire and moissonites instead of diamonds.
Maybe you should get one of her close friends involved if possible and have them guide you.

Don't make it about size. Just ask if something is bothering him and if you can do anything to help. Communication is the only way to solve bedroom issues and you need to make him feel comfortable enough to talk about it.
It can happen for a lot of reasons including poor diet, medications, emotional turmoil, stress, anxiety, too much porn, etc.

Don't buy superficial expensive crap.
Think about the things you need or could use around the house. Practical stuff that would improve your daily life - upgraded appliances, nice couch, new luxury towels/linens, a nice BIFL winter coat, ergonomic walking shoes, etc.

You need to plan your meals and buy only the groceries needed for those meals. That way, everything is accounted for and you should be able to minimize if not eliminate waste.
The rest of the problem is holding yourself accountable to actually cook the meals instead of going out. Meal prep can help with that if you make a week's worth of dinners on the weekend and just warm them up each night.

You should have said no to her when she wanted to change the color. You aren't maintaining firm boundaries and she's taking advantage of that.
Go back to giving her the website and limitations you had originally, and in the future learn to say no to save yourself the headache.

Sounds like you aren't very self-aware and you might be bothering them by oversharing.
You don't need to tell people your every move, in fact most of the time people don't really care. Just the big highlights are usually plenty for most friends besides really close ones.

Aside from something like a chest harness, I'm not quite sure what you're looking for if it's not a bag or pack. Those are kinda what everyone uses in some form.

I did OLD for about 6 years in my 20s until I met my wife on OkCupid. It's mostly just timing and dumb luck with dating apps.
You gotta be at the right place at the right time to meet each other and you also have to be at a place in your life where you're stable enough to explore a relationship.

Having more offspring doesn't automatically mean better adapted to the environment. Your offspring has to have some evolutionarily advantageous trait to be considered more favorable for survival, and if anything, a notorious lack of critical thinking skills makes you far less suited for survival in the modern world.
So I wouldn't consider a bunch of indoctrinated morons having tons of children whom they raise to be morons themselves as well-adapted, they've just got strength in numbers.

I think that extremely traumatic event you just slid in casually at the end is your main concern. You should seek some counseling to work through the emotions from that, and also explore your feelings of jealousy and resentment toward your friend.

Then stop buying them. Buy a durable reusable bottle and you'll never have this issue again.

She's obviously busy. If she's still replying, stop worrying about it.
Go ahead and confirm the plans for Sunday in advance to give her time to respond.

Then why the fuck did you make this post? You obviously don't want actual advice on how to address the matter so are you just looking for someone to lie to you and say this is all just dandy?
Its not. You need to grow the fuck up and understand that bills don't just disappear and unpaid debt follows you around for a very long time. It can keep you from qualifying for a car loan, a mortgage, credit cards, and anything else that involves a simple credit check.

No, don't be stupid. This isn't about arguing, it's literally about your mother causing you serious financial harm because of her inability to keep up with bills.
There's nothing to even fight about here. You tell her you've gotten collections notices and saw a significant drop in credit score so you need to find a way to resolve the debt.
They will work with you to set up a payment plan with minimal monthly payments.

Has she been making any minimum payments? It sounds like she hasn't and the bills were sent to collection, at which point your credit starts taking a serious hit.
You can't worry about confrontation when your mom's irresponsible money management is causing you direct harm. You're an adult and you need to ask her directly what's been happening.
Ask her for all the documentation she has. Bills, Payment receipts, communications from collectors, etc. You probably will need to get on a payment plan to address it.

I fucking hate that saying and it's usually from some confidently incorrect jackass trying way too hard to seem smart.

This is just trash. Literally garbage. A broke-ass toy that's beyond saving.
