The same is true for music. Everyone listened to the same thing in the car, and that selection was usually controlled by the adults. And far fewer methods of exposure, esp for those in rural areas that didn’t have a massive # of radio stations.

I remember (IIRC) Beyoncé reminding Oprah that Oprah had given this advice (or expressed this regret) and B had specifically applied it to her marriage and O was like, “Great for you! But, damn, I have questions to ask!”

My parents. Cat randomly showed up on their porch. They were in the country so it’s not like it was a roaming neighborhood cat. Apparently got dropped off near a neighbor’s and their cats ran him off. My dad adored him every day of his life. They are together again. 🌈

Only getting paid during flight hours is the most bonkers thing to me. I believe you — I’ve read it before — but so crazy that y’all don’t get paid for the WORK you do related to the flight. Hell, I clock in at the grocery store if I’m picking up snacks for the office!

My dachshund got kicked out of her first home bc she’d been the baby for 7 years & they got 2 bulldogs that she never warmed up to. She absolutely holds a grudge, tries to start shit w/ any bulldog-resembling dog.
Me: It’s not going home with us!
Her: You’re damn right it’s not!

A friend’s SIL didn’t want her baby/toddler wearing shirts with cartoon characters bc it’s “f*ggy.”

And I think this is something you should disclose to your partner so they can run like the damn wind before procreating with you.

I have known a few parents who said, “If the second had been first, there might not have been a second.” So you are not the first parent to be tricked by Kid 1, if that’s any comfort.

I also think about that ep in his Netflix series where he had an emotional experience over pasta because he’d denied (been denied) carbs for so long, to have the Baywatch et al body.

2001, played VM tag with parents after a vacay. Finally get Dad on phone. Me: “You ok?” Him: “Yeah, why?” Me: “Oh, something about your voice in the vm seemed off.”
Later in the call, he finally told me he had prostate cancer.

Of course a man didn’t figure out by the “tone” of the question that it was the woman on the call *and* doing childcare. I’d bet 99.9% of women knew it without even reading the article.

I’m now imagining some great family back story on this. Some ne’er-do-well ancestor needed to change his identity. Overhears “that’s a bogus last name!” and he thinks, “Ah-ha! Bogus! Perfect!”

Knew a lady whose dad gave her a Bible when she went to college.
Her: *calls for money* (this was prob 50 years ago)
Him: Been reading Bible?
Her: Yes, Daddy!
Him: *sends money*
He eventually revealed the Bible was full of cash. Whoops!

I had a pair of Michael Kors jeans that bled blue FOREVER. Those dark wash jeans, man. Btw, a warning: If you have a habit of tucking your hands between or under your (seated) legs when cold, your hands will also turn blue.

As a straight, middle-aged white woman, who grew up in a 99.99% white community, it delights me to see the growing representation and diversity — LGBTQ+ characters/couples, interracial couples, POC leads, etc.

IMO, it’s not even the safety (which IS a concern) — it’s the effing logistics of even just a few dozen kids doing it. I have zero skin in this game, but no school staff has time for this.

College roommate had a falling out w/ her mom in HS. Moved in w/ grandma for a while. Mom found the journal she left. Made copies of “sex w/ bf” pages and gave them to family/fellow church members. 😮 So incredibly fucked up.

😂 This reminds me of the friend’s mom who started to name her dog Heath but then didn’t bc of “that gay cowboy movie.” (In all fairness, she was divorced bc her husband was gay, so some understandable resentment.)
She named the dog ... Jake.

To the author of the blurb: If you were the 14yo boy, you wouldn’t call it “having sex with.” The law doesn’t call it that, either. This really isn’t that difficult to word correctly.

So I’m a middle-aged white lady. I was at Waffle House last week and my server — a Black guy, *early* 20s I’d guess — said “cool beans” and “no problemo” to me and I don’t know if he’s an old soul or if I was being profiled. 😆👵🏻👵🏻

Lady backed into me, despite my honking to alert her. (I was stuck in traffic, she was backing out of a parking space.) She did not want to involve insurance and was pissed I wouldn’t cooperate. Me: “I have to look out for me & I’m sorry if that upsets you.”
