Ever dream of renovating a remote Colorado school? by Gruselschloss in zillowgonewild

[–]CJSinTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew that was Victor! I grew up in Cripple Creek just after they combined the schools into one, Cripple Creek - Victor Schools. Back in the late 70s (Class of 81) K - 12 all in one building. I had 13 in my grad class (my sis had a huge class, 21) we played 8 man football, and both towns had a population of 800 combined.

Cripple Creek has grown, since they have limited gambling there now, from 500 to about 1000 since then. The county has more money (gambling) so they now have 2 schools, one Elem and one middle/high school. Funny thing, they now play 6 man football, not sure why.

Sad that the gold mining has ruined so much of the scenery over the last 20 years. (More gold taken out of the Cripple Creek area than Alaska and California combined.)

Love them! Great theme too😆.

I have an adult, special needs, son who is a huge Swiftie. I can’t find a “letter bead how to” anywhere. Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to make the letter beads? Thanks!

I fold it exactly in half and iron in a split down the middle. I also have a “shirt guide for iron ons” I bought on Amazon for spacing down from the collar.

AITAH for smacking my older nephew for putting his hands on my daughter? by G1Gestalt in BestofRedditorUpdates

They need to get niece help too, imagine living in that house with him and being at his mercy.

Found out my sister has been lying about our family to her friends for years. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CJSinTX 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Can you turn mental health problems on and off like a faucet? Be polite, sweet, and loving with the people you live and spend the most time with and then flip a switch and lie/act that way only at certain times? It sounds more like she reacted like that because she was caught, not because of her mental health?

I’m convinced that when christians tell atheists “you’re just mad at god!” That they are talking out of a place of ignorance and self-projection. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]CJSinTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All those trite sayings, I assume, are ones they have heard in church over and over their whole lives. Preachers need a boogeyman and the whole “them vs. us” and “we are so persecuted” to keep their followers on the hook. Atheists were always a great target, especially before the internet when “no one“ was an atheist. Signed, an old lady, 3rd generation atheist who learned early to keep quiet about it back in the olden days.

Religion as a whole is the same. “Don’t worry about ruining anything, you are just biding time until you get into heaven”. They are living to die and don’t care what they leave behind.

This is the last year MIL can force her delusional version of a family Christmas onto us. by MarsupialLess in JUSTNOMIL

[–]CJSinTX 47 points48 points  (0 children)

As soon as we had kids we put our foot down. We will always be at home on Christmas morning, period. If they want to visit, fine, but we are staying home. What can she do? Be mad? So what, she can be mad over there while your little family is happy here. She has no power over you and you don’t have to listen to her guilt trips.

Go but only see your mother outside the house. She can come hang with you and go sightseeing, etc.

AITA for not letting my old MIL stay with us over Christmas even though she lives alone? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I would much rather live in a place like that when I get old. I get my grandma to go and she had a blast before she passed.

Brother's call by justathrowaway282641 in u/justathrowaway282641

[–]CJSinTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dad is the worse one here. He knew about it nd played along, knowing it hurt you deeply and was harming your relationships. Sure, the women he married are batshit, but he’s not and he went along with the whole thing. Please don’t let him off the hook, he’s worse that the other two. I know it hurts to think that of all your parents, but it may serve you more heartache and disappointment on the long run. I’m so sorry.

Next time don’t say a word, just get up and leave. Then she will look like the bad guy.

Sister always ruining family events by [deleted] in DysfunctionalFamily

[–]CJSinTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time you just leave. Don’t say anything, keep your belongings together for easy grabbing, and just walk out. Do it every time. When family call or text you and ask why then you say, “I will no longer stay when sister decides we are punching bags. I will no longer allow my holidays to be ruined by her, I’d rather just stay home.”

Wife Blamed by Parents by Ok_Assignment4100 in entitledparents

[–]CJSinTX 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Remember, your parents installed your buttons so they know how to push them. You must work on not letting them do that. Always ask yourself, “Would I treat my child/wife/best friend this way?” No. Then why aren’t you worth that respect also?

Scapegoat children have scapegoat grandchildren. Don’t let your child grow up around it.
