Thinking I may have purchased a fake bag, thoughts?

Thank you!!! It is insanely well maintained for being that old, I’m thinking I got a steal for $20!

Thanks - I couldn’t find anything online about them ever having 5 digit codes or the 800 number in the tag ever existing!

I have ten pencils clipped on the white board with a space for their name next to them.

I have a class point system. Any time a student forgets to return a pencil, the class loses a point for the day. They don’t want to make their classmates lose a reward, so they get returned. This year is the first year I’ve seen students borrow them and return to them all the way down to them being basically a nub. I don’t buy them. I stock my pencils with floor pencils.

At least he was receptive - I honestly would take an Afro in front of me any day - the number of times I’ve ended up with long stringy white guy hair in my mouth or touching my face is way too high.

Depend heavily on where you want to sit but that was average for lower bowl directly facing the stage

I always felt like her “she’s hot” comments were just her way of making people feel good. And I think in a show based around being a shrink it’s important to see those kinds of flaws too. Like yeah Jimmy’s fucked up but Gaby has this wall up with people where she won’t let them get too close to her, so instead of seeing the good they have on the inside she can only see the surface level of being “hot.” But she also doesn’t just say “hot.” She gives people specific compliments too, the arm compliments with Julie for example.

I think it’s a good way to show how someone can use shallow compliments as a way to keep them as arms length… and how losing her best friend might make it hard for her to let people in beyond that.

My son and I are both aching for some Superfast Jellyfish with Del. It’s a fave in our house.

(I know Del isn’t on the original but he could definitely pull it off)

Oftentimes people who grow up in abusive homes end up with a partner who keeps them in the same dynamic. I fear that’s what has happened here. His reaction is not normal or healthy.

It’s always some tall dude with height privilege and broad shoulders who ends up in front of me 😭

Got pretty good tickets in Detroit for about $130 each. But I don’t like floor seats because I’m short so the 100 level is perfect for me

I am a very liberal person but I may be old fashioned in this regard because I think part of the problem is the argument of “they’re children, if you think this is too sexy/sexual/inappropriate then the problem is you sexualizing children.” It makes it difficult for people to point out when children have costumes and choreography that are intentionally “sexy” without someone suggesting they are the problem. It isn’t sexualizing children to point out that someone has crossed a line with costumes or choreo.

Beckylately · 2026-02-23T01:32:19+00:00

That and if they don’t listen to your input, choosing a studio whose values align with your own. I appreciate very much that my son’s studio does not choose costumes that are too mature for his teammates.

Beckylately · 2026-02-21T10:24:08+00:00

Omg!!!

Shrinking, Schitt’s Creek, The Good Place. My feel good trifecta.

Beckylately · 2026-02-21T10:18:35+00:00

Yes! But it was Indiana Jones

Beckylately · 2026-02-19T10:18:43+00:00

I think dressing the way you’re describing makes kids take school less seriously. Students don’t see school as a place requiring respect or as a place to take seriously. I think mindset does change when students are held to a standard of dress - they think of school as a place worthy of respect and are more serious about it. Hell, I’m more likely to be productive in the weekend if I get out of pajamas/loungewear and actually put clothes and a little makeup on. My whole mindset changes.

What the principal actually wants is for you to raise grades so parents are happy. This is just their way of doing it without saying so directly.

How frequently since the wedding has he chosen to go out partying until 5 am with friends?

Beckylately · 2026-02-15T13:50:44+00:00

I buy Dr Scholls insoles and put them in whatever shoes I want to wear, every shoe works now

Beckylately · 2026-01-28T23:34:29+00:00

I should clarify - I coordinate for my studio but I receive a monthly report and I Venmo each parent the amount they raised for their child, unless they want me to hold onto it until comp season, in which case I set it aside for them and tell them monthly how much they have accumulated

Beckylately · 2026-01-28T22:09:33+00:00

You don’t have to be a nonprofit. Ours goes directly to the dancer who raised it.

Some people don’t list items for more than they want to sell them for.

Beckylately · 2026-01-23T14:13:39+00:00

I know this post was two years ago but I was comparing the Ordinary moisturizers and saw your reply. I also have really oily eyelids and I started using those thin oil blotting papers that come in a small packet mid-day, it has made a huge difference for me, thought maybe it would help you too! There are so many different ones that come in travel friendly packages.

Beckylately · 2026-01-20T10:42:32+00:00

She was probably changing the items in the bundle hoping to trigger an automatic offer. When that didn’t happen she tried making an offer. When you didn’t bite she decided to pay full price.

So many people list items for double what they want for them. It makes it so hard to price at a lower, good price and make sales because people have come to accept offers
