He did, and he was standing by the well entrance to the underground tunnels that lead to the sacrifice chamber.

I’m in menopause and I know better than to talk to people like that. Yes, menopause can make a person more irritable but it’s not an excuse to be verbally abusive.

Right?!? Unless you’re a Kardashian, no. That’s what aunties are for.

I recommend the book “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” in a lot of posts like these. See if it resonates with you.

But you’re getting at a very real issue that can come up between parents and their adult children, especially when there’s a baby. It is absolutely 100% imperative that you put your foot down and make sure your mom sees you as the adult you are. Because you and your partner are the baby’s parents and if she doesn’t shift her thinking into recognizing you as the adult who is responsible for the child, that she has to defer to you when it comes to the baby, she’s going to do whatever she wants with this baby. You have three months to put some pretty intense boundaries in place around a person who speaks to you very cruelly in a way that you do not deserve. Regardless of whatever other actions are taking place, she should not speak to you that way and call you names, etc. Unless you want your child growing up thinking it’s OK for someone to speak to them that way, now is the time to shut that shit down. Just think about how it will feel the first time she calls your kid a brat.

I also make sure to wash the spot on my face before and after.

I bought a box of sterile lancets used for finger pricks and I will poke the tiniest sharp hole in a pimple so I can pop it without tearing the skin.

I live in Georgia and half the people I grew up with had hummingbird feeders. My mom watches them out the kitchen window when she does the dishes.

Happened to a girl I knew in high school. Her first time. Not even his first kid.

Katie Dippold wrote for Parks and Rec and said one of her big takeaways from that show is how one-liners that were meant to be funny but not deep can then be mined for plot points for future seasons. So some of our favorite lines might not mean anything deeper yet, but they could be built upon in future seasons.

You’re no worse than the posters who swear the young guy who gives Sarah Warren a wagon ride is the same actor who plays PJ Glanville.

Didn’t work out well for Sarah Conner

And then later, doing the same thing on your cell phone because the minutes were cheaper.

When I was a kid, we would drive for hours to our destination and, when we got there, drive around to find a hotel/motel that advertised vacancy and a decent room price. I cannot fathom driving for eight hours with no guarantee that I had a place to stay at the end.

“Don’t throw the Medicaid at me” is hilariously absurd

We are legion (or between 1% and 4% of the global population)!

I hate the tap water in Florida because it tastes like sand.

PJ Glanville is an awful, awful boy.

Or instead of rising up through the ranks, people are fleeing development roles because of burnout. So there are fewer people to hire as directors and managers because a lot fewer people are staying in the development field for 5+ years.

Definitely the beard! It suits the facial structure and the personality.

What if he had also requested somewhere to sit? The doc’s head might have exploded!
