OT kind of/Facebook pictures
My DH was adopted at 9 months. It was a closed adoption as the bio grandmother was racist and did want her daughter (DH's Bio Mom) having a baby with a man of a different race. Bio mom was a minor still apparently. DH has been looking for his family off/on over the years but kept hitting dead ends.

OT Buisness name
Good morning! I am planning to start a business selling my handmade natural care products. I inicially chose Naked Beauty and bought the domain name and all only to find out the name is being used for same type of business on IG. I would like to use a name with the initials NB as those are my initials. Also, a name that relates to 'natural'. Anyone have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it!

It never ends
We (my side of the family) have planned a trip to Kansas City (3.5 hours from our homestate) to see my older cousin/wife and kids and DH is coming too, to celebrate for July 4th (cousin lost my Aunt/Uncle in law/sister , my family, within one year). We are going a day early to be in our hometown to see other family who isn't going (including DH side) and my DH has of course, told MIL (OSD27 lives with her). DH wants us to get a hotel room for the first time, and then head out towards KC the next morning (our first time not staying with MIL).

DH handled it this time
OSD27 texted our DD17 and asked her if she think we will let her come to her graduation in December. DD usually come to me only but this time asked us both and we said NO at the same time. First, SD lives with MIL 600+ miles away and we all know MIL turns the blind eye and deaf ear to OSD's antics, especially when it comes to our kids. Second, OSD didn't even invite our OBS20 who they've been trying to "build a relationship" while she has practically targeted and excluded DD until she wants to use her.

It's always something...VENT
with my OSD. It must be a miserable life to sit and think of ways to start drama especially, from another state. DD17 and OSD has not talked/texted since OSD's last attempt... (see last blog for backstory). So DD17 posted a story to her Facebook and her bff was on there with DD. OSD27 texted DD and asked was he DD's bf. DD replyed that he was her bff and he was gay. Now, the bff is like a part of our family. Has stayed the night countless times, DD has stayed at his house, been of a vacation with us, went to DD20 H.S and AIT graduation, etc.

I wish I would have found the over 2 decades ago
I read the following article and realized, though this is something I had to learn the hard way, it's spot on based on what I know now. Maybe some of you new or potential SP's can find this insightful.

UPDATE: How would you reply?
First Happy Valentine's Day!
So a update to my OSD27 texting DD17 "heyyyy sister, I love and miss you and pray that one day we can get our sisterly bond back please tell me where it all went wrong so we can fix it". After reading all the comments on that post (which were very helpful) I took some advice and told DD she should just tell SD how she made her feel and not worry about hurting SD's feelings but just be clear on if or how she wanted to move forward. It took DD 2 days to put on her big girl pants and come up a reply. The text follows (exact words):

What's the OP's name to the "resentment of DH" post?
I replied to Exjulie's comment on the blog and hit save and it was gone. Does that mean it was deleted?
