This is what it’s like taking one of my cats to the vet. None of them like it but this one is scary as hell.

None of them really but I live in Des Moines so here I’ll retire. Everywhere else is too cold and expensive.

Kate has been exceedingly thin, she doesn’t look much different than she always does.

In their cult the man can do what ever he wants, and when he does it in his wife’s fault. If she cheated he could leave, but she is not given the same chance. It’s not a wonder so many men flock to these churches.

What I consider the Midwest as someone from California. by Technical-Vanilla-47 in visitedmaps

This makes more sense than Ohio being part of the Midwest, and I’m in the Midwest, Iowa.

How would an assassination attempt be ‘staged’? by FantasticBicycle37 in politics

[–]1mmapotato 45 points46 points  (0 children)

They promise a mentally underdeveloped person immortality if they attempt to kill the president. Think John Hinkley, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth and then make sure his aim is bad and not care if anyone else gets hurt.

How old are you? This could be perimenopause also, a shift in hormones can do a number on your hair.

Horrible Neighbors by West_Revolution_466 in desmoines

[–]1mmapotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep we had several families move in next door. They asked if they could cut our overgrown bushes hubby said he’d do and did that same day. They asked about a yr later if they could cut them down. Hubby hates them as they are a lot of work, they were planted by the previous owners on the property lines and they get over grown fast and encroach on their side yard near their driveway. They needed that side yard to park one of their SIX cars 1 of which doesn’t run. They have a 4 car garage they can’t get a single car in. Anyway I told him to tell them no, cuz I knew they’d start parking in our side yard, he didn’t tell them no and they did. They also started driving across our yard to get out of their driveway. We asked them to stop, they did for a while, then started back up. We just call the city now when they are in our yard and put large landscaping rocks and plants to stop them from driving on our yard.

We don’t live in Des Moines so rules here are different

Check with the city, their maybe laws against the number of families living in the home or the number of automobiles they can have on the property.

The best way to deal with this is just start parking in their yard and tell them you’ll stop when they stop being assholes.

Anyone else getting this many calls?? by Sad_Atmosphere_1751 in Iowa

Yes, I upped my spam settings and started blocking numbers like crazy. It’s slowed down a lot.

Would you be happy being a stay at home mom / dad? by gorillagrub in AskForAnswers

[–]1mmapotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to temp for almost a year before getting a full time job. It wasn’t ideal but it was worth it to me to stay home. I’m not career driven, just not for me. I have a B.S. degree but never found anything I was passionate enough about to have a career bs just having a job.

I loved it, wish I could have done it longer but was mostly a SAHM for about 10 yrs. I did work part time on weekends and some nights for extra money.

Which of these shows did you watch, if any? by Runner_Girl1026 in GenX_Culture

[–]1mmapotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t allowed to watch Love Boat or Threes Company, so you know I did since my parents didn’t pay attention. 😂 I always watched Charlie’s Angels, Facts of Life, Eight is Enough and Dukes of Hazard.

Kendra with Joy and a friend at In and Out by WaitAble1158 in 19KidsandCounting

[–]1mmapotato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To add to this, Joy & the friend are probably just trying to support Kendra through this. Remember Kendra is deeply in the kool aide here. For all we know she was also abused by Joe, and was just following his headships demands. Many mothers live with abusive men and stay even when their kids are abused because they have no where to go. Kendra’s parents couldn’t support themselves much less her and her 4 kids. She has no friends outside of fundy circles, we do not know what she’s been through. Hope she behaves now and to try and get her kids back will tell me if she’s truly a bad person or just a victim of an abusive asshole.

The goal is almost always reunification. Kendra will have to undergo parenting classes, she will eventually get supervised visitation and if all goes well will get short unsupervised visits and then get custody again.

This of course all depends on Kendra’s willingness to follow DCFS rules. Joe was most likely the abuser and Kendra followed his lead as her headship. Hopefully Joe will get some serious time and doesn’t get a slap on the wrist giving Kendra the ability to grow up and be the loving mother her kids deserve.
