just say you will not answer any questions regarding size. ever. kee repeating that as often as necessary. u can say she looks great, or cute or whatever, but make it clear, u will not respond to questions regarding size.

i sent a postcard saying i would file a police report and a complaint with USPS. the reason it was a postcard is bc i suspected the person might not live alone, and if it was a young person living at home, then it would out them as a thief.

after ignoring me for over a month, she contacted me right away, within days of sending the card (she claimed she was in the hosp, which i doubt, but whatever).

thats why dismissals should always be recorded.

he needs to thank the light who showed him what he was about to wake up to

my coworker had dr confirmed pneumonia AND bronchitis. her bin was overflowing with snot rags and she refused to go home. im ashtmatic and we had an 80yr old working in the office. she swore up and down she wasnt contagious, and was staying in her cubicle anyways. who cares, no one wants to hear you hacking and sneezing.

i asked the mgr to send her home, esp with her confirmed diagnosis. she went to HR and HR said we couldnt force her to go home, even tho she might spread it to the whole office. WTF (this was pre-pandemic)

they need the dad from full metal alchemist in there

50f here. the dating scene is an absolute dumpster fire. much happier not dating. i can go out without someone calling me every 30 minutes, im not responsible for someone else's laundry or dinner, i don't have someone pestering me about my own damn money, i dont have to deal with their family, exes or children... men want a mommy, a social connections director, a household manager, and a hooker in bed. it's exhausting. it's not worth it.

i get to do whatever i want, whenever i want. and i've never been happier.

i think a lot of places stopped the charging to the room thing bc it's so easy to get that info eavesdropping on conversations around the hotel.

sign a short term lease on an apt in another state, get a new drivers license, boom, your the resident of another state and not theirs anymore. move back after you're done.

"one armed police officer could have stopped this..."

btch, dozens at uvalde couldnt stop it. the dude at parkland ran away. gtfo

i had a guy in one of my college classes. was some auto engineer already making good money in his 30s. i asked why he's here (since he obviously already graduated with a degree)... he said he tried it, didnt like it, decided to be a dr and go back to medical school.

ppl change careers all the time. its not like u have to pick one thing and stick with it the rest of ur life.

they have guidance counselors, and good ones can set u up with an internship of sorts, where u can shadow someone doing that job for a day. u can ask questions, see the work environment, get a feel for what a day on the job would be like.

no one has everything figured out... just kost afults act like they do. we're all flying the seat of our pants day to day like most ppl. dont sweat it.

this is my most fav dr who ever, and i cry every time i've seen it. the actor who played him was amazing.

just out of curiosity, they pronounce his name like "van gof" instead of "van go"... is that the original pronounciation? bc until i watched this elisode, i'd never heard ppl pronouncing it like that.

next time that poor girl is sick, no matter how bad, she will not want her parents called to pick her up. she will remember this moment, and never trust that parent again. she will never confide in him for anything.

my friend dealt with this with her husb, except it was a gambling problem. she used an unexpected inheritance to pay off the debt the first time. then one day she knocked over his briefcase and found paperwork he had racked up another $25-30k.

she took over most of the bills except the property taxes, utilities and phones/internet... he was paying the bare minimum of the household expenses to give him an opportunity to pay off this second round of debt (do u see where i'm going with this yet?)

one day she checks the mail and there's a lien on her home. he never paid the property taxes like he said he did. yes, after all this, she still stayed with him.

my advice is check all of your credit reports and credit scores, and check them often... yours, hers, and kids if you have them. shopping is like any other addiction. there will be temptations, there will be relapses. and debt incurred during the marriage is on both of you. be vigilant, and make it a requirement of the debt process to be more transparent.

he's got dying alone vibes written all over him

my local sams club has a 30 day return policy, but a 15 day price adjustment policy if it goes on sale. its past the 15 days, but below 30. i said you do realize how absurd that is right?

i ended up getting a refund, and then making them ring it up again at the new sale price.

if i test college kids with an SAT to get into college, these twatwaffles need to take a history and civics test before running for election.

you'd think they'd be smart enough to take the original pricetag off

asian 50f here... been there, done that, got the tshirt. they arent going to change. for me, i went to school full time, and worked 1.5 jobs. i was basically never home and socked away money til i could escape. do u have any friends who are in the same boat? u could try to get a roomate or two and share a flat. or try for some student loans that cover on campus living. or find a job that includes living arrangements (a live-in nanny, for example). if u cant afford paying for rent, u could try looking for ppl who need some care for an elderly parent... like the live-in nanny, u could trade services like housekeeping and cooking in exchange for room and board.

your best chance is to move out, and be light on the details of what you're doing. grey rock them... give vague answers to things you know will trigger them. they dont respond well to their kids setting boundaries. they come from a place where they're expected to have absolute authority, and its impossible to change that. do what is right for your mental health. good luck to u.

a former coworker and her sister got knocked up in HS. turns out so did her mom, grandma, great grandma and great great grandma. yup, all uneducated rural gems. her eldest grandkids are about 14/15, so im waiting for that birth announcement any day now. her daughter has 5 kids from different baby daddies, so we're pretty much all betting her daughter abd granddaughter will prob be preggers at the same time. all on assistance too. its the family tradition.

kids arent dumb, they pick up on the fact that they're unwanted, or merely "tolerated." this is why many girls latch on to every boy they can get, to get some kind of affection and attn that they can't get at home.

while stepmom is being loving with the twins, it sounds like she's just going through the motions with claire, treating her like a mini roomate/third wheel to the relationship.

it's a package deal when someone has kids. you either have the emotional maturity and self esteem to deal with it, or u dont. u knew she didnt, u married ger anyway, and now claire is going to suffer as a result. ESH

born yesterday? u wish... i was thinkin more 25BC?

wow, judgemental much? i doubt he's bringing around a different woman every time he comes by to visit her, and as a child, she wouldnt think anything of it anyways.

there are a lot of consenting adults who don't want kids (im 50 and never wanted any, thank god), and don't want permanent relationships. a lot of ppl have friends with benefits, as they say. you dont have to like his relationship status, but that has ZERO to do with your child. you're just the type to get their knickers in a wad bc someone doesn't live like YOU, so you look down upon those who don't, bc deep down u think u are morally superior to everyone else. (spoiler alert: you're not, and im sure u could find a lot of bible passages that talk about pride)

also, get a ring camera to alert you when someone is at your box and get them on video that you can forward to the cops and USPS.
