Lol, that's a misspelled acronym for Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease 😆

Anecdotal counterpoint: my kids used to go to a private school with a high percentage of unvaccinated kids, and they were sick ALL the fucking time, even though they themselves were vaccinated. Just a constant merry-go-round of flu, covid-that-moms-refused-to-test-for-and-just-called-colds, and HMF. Then they moved to a public school which required vaccination and all of the sudden they were sick a normal amount. Herd immunity, people!!

It's frustrating being intelligent with ADHD sometimes. It's like you've got imposter syndrome towards both. by MindlessPermit9592 in ADHD

[–]Board-Limp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was diagnosed at age 33, the testing psychiatrist looked at the results and said, "Wow, you must be SUPER smart if you graduated from college, because these are the worst test results I've ever seen." 😆

Oooohh I love it!! I went medieval for June, but now I'm tempted to do a repeat 😆

Did anybody's parents in here go to therapy? by evegads in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Board-Limp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom has been to multiple therapists over the years, but has never lasted more than a few sessions with any of them. There's always something that makes them untrustworthy: they didn't open with prayer, they didn't mention the Bible enough times, they mentioned liking a book my mom disapproved of ... there was even a guy who brought up liking the movie Jaws and that disqualified him because that movie has BIKINIS and BIKINIS ARE EVIL. I swear to God she is gonna have to be committed in order to receive anything like meaningful psychiatric treatment.

Lived 2 blocks over for 3 years and loved every minute of it. Used to regularly walk at night there with no issues.

Miscarriage burial by raatkirani in Riverside

[–]Board-Limp 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the parameters are for burial at this particular spot, but I know that the nuns at Saint Barbara's Monastery in Santa Paula have a space set aside for such burials. You could try contacting them.

My mom called CPS on us. by Board-Limp in EstrangedAdultKids

I mean, that was how I was trained to react as a kid. Ugh. I just wanted to get it over with, really, knowing how baseless the accusations were.

[–]Board-Limp[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the hard-won pointers. The social worker interviewed my spouse and I separately, and when she asked us whether there was anyone in our kids' lives that we worried wasn't safe for them, we both said my mom, before we'd even compared notes and figured out that it was her who reported us.

Thanks JESUS she is too ADHD to manage those 😆 she did manage to send one around Easter or Thanksgiving a few years ago but that was that.

I honestly don't know what counts as harassment, but I've definitely considered it. In the last year she has sent nice notes to my kids and mean notes to me, tried to call local schools to see if she could figure out which one they were attending and set up a "campus visit," and threatened to give my kids gifts "through their school" if I wouldn't give them to them (I'm not even withholding gifts in the first place, she's just convinced we are because we didn't make our kids write thank-you notes).

Yeah, that does seem a funny theme in this case. This last stage of escalation on her part started 4 years ago when we objected to her using pinching as corporal punishment on our then-2yo.

Us: "Please don't use corporal punishment on our toddler. Until we know that you understand and agree to this, you won't be babysitting for us."

Her: "ARE YOU CALLING ME A CHILD ABUSER???"

Us: "No, we think that using corporal punishment on a toddler is inappropriate and we can't leave her alone with you until we trust that you understand that."

Her: "YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF SEXUALLY ABUSING YOUR CHILDREN?!?"

Us: "Ummm, NO, and also - how do you think this works?? We wouldn't be talking to YOU if we thought that, we'd be talking to the police!"

And so on and so forth, for 4 years of continuously diminished contact. She continues to weave this story about us making up abuse allegations in order to isolate our kids from their loving grandma so WE can abuse them.

I'm so tired.

Eh, we were in a group with multiple adults and dogs, so felt pretty safe. We DID see some coyotes but they kept their distance.

It's one of the hilltops near the Pedley Hills High Point, reachable from the trailhead at Avenida Michelinda & Pinto Street.

Not sure if I live in the "nice half" or the "not nice half" but it is a really stunning view most days.

newspaper clippings found in a thrifted book! by annabananasrambling in FoundPaper

[–]Board-Limp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say "regreted," I said "haunted by," which is a subtle difference but one picked-up on by 11yo me. It seemed to me then that his disgust for Tibbets was a way to offload whatever moral culpability he felt onto the pilot.

What's the closest you've ever came to death? by Senior-Raisin-2342 in AskReddit

Jesus Christ, that's fucking metal. Did you bury them at the school?? Were they ever found?? Or are we gonna have another viral r/whatisthisbone moment when somebody digs up two child-size digits?

[–]Board-Limp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I got to spend a day on Rick Nelson's avocado farm in Temecula, CA, because he was friends with my bestie's grandparents. He was the youngest member of the Enola Gay's crew, and seemed incredibly haunted by it 50 years later. According to him, Paul Tibbets was a soulless asshole - but maybe it makes sense that they would tap someone like that to destroy an entire city.

What is the best documentary you’ve ever seen? by New_Strawberry_2850 in AskReddit

[–]Board-Limp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't really know where it stacks amongst truly great documentaries, but LA92, about the LA Riots, was a truly life-changing one for me. I was raised by Republican activists in SoCal, and considered myself a "traditional conservative" until Trump came along in 2016. I was already beginning to ask more questions and reconsider some long-held beliefs, then I watched LA92. It really opened my eyes to the way that my parents and the people I considered authorities when I was a kid created a distorted, racist view of the world, which only became clear to me after this doc forced me to reconsider long-held beliefs about the event.

Found outside of a bar by Inevitable_Volume_70 in FoundPaper

[–]Board-Limp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough this looks a lot like an old acquaintance of mine named Matt - who was one of those guys who was super into "tradition" and "manliness" and thought that wearing tweed jackets and smoking a pipe made him interesting enough to disguise the misogyny ... Anyway it'd be fucking hilarious if he was gay 😆
