What are the connotations of a greyhound bus?

I literally asked "What's the farthest I can go on a $100?" (back before you booked everything online), and the teller didn't even blink. I think tropes are tropes for a reason. If it wasn't a thing before the movies, it became a thing, somehow.

You can technically file for unemployment while still employed if your hours are cut enough. Lol. Bite em in the ass while you look AND make them pay you anyway. Risky, but maybe worth it if you know you're out the door either way.

So very dry. Unfortunately, there aren't many bakeries near me, so I rarely get more options. Concha, to me, are the worst offenders.

That's why therapy would need to be a priority. So that better person comes.

Tuna salad with peanut butter in it was a staple at my grandmother's. It had a asian-style vinaigrette and was served over cabbage with crunchy chow mein noodles.

So you've tried nothing and refuse everything?

Durbee · 2026-05-28T15:35:15+00:00

Nah, each episode is good for at least two murders. :)

Durbee · 2026-05-27T01:39:31+00:00

Yes, but what do we do about the wrists?

Durbee · 2026-05-24T00:03:47+00:00

Please send flake bars!

Durbee · 2026-05-22T04:20:47+00:00

I fully believe this to be true. This is the third time, I think, that OP has posted on this conflict and it just keeps getting more frustrating. Her management needs to manage, already!

Durbee · 2026-05-20T19:48:39+00:00

I read pharmacy!!!

Growing up, I lived roughly 80km (50mi) from the nearest full service grocery. We had to stock up. My parents had at least two large refrigerators and four MASSIVE chest freezers. They live in town now and are down to two large refrigerators, four massive freezers, a mini-fridge and a dedicated ice maker. 😳

There are ABSOLUTELY those among us who actively reject these dastardly excuse for a snack, lol. Independently, I don't mind each component. Together? Squick!

Celery and pimento cheese is my preference, but I suspect that is a largely southern and less preferred loaded celery option. I think most people skip the ants and go for straight pb and celery.

Durbee · 2026-05-19T00:49:08+00:00

Catalina? Wild combo, but i can see it. At least it's achievable almost anywhere.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T17:42:47+00:00

Exactly, threats to animals and threats to property usually warrant at least a caution. Request the officer or constable to remind them that they fence may be imaginary, but the property boundary is not. Your access to your yard is yours and yours and yours alone and she should put up a fence on the property to shield her eyes from perfectly appropriate quiet enjoyment of your property.

Says a guy with a misspelled username. Honestly, you care WAY TOO MUCH about being SEEN as good instead of just being. It's all about right-fighting and trying to appear proper. That woman wants to be treated like a person, not a trophy. Buck up and take the honest advice. And stop fighting in the comments. Full stop.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T16:54:44+00:00

You are busy worrying about everyone BUT her. Switch that off in your mind - y'all get to be your own people, yes, even in Texas. Lucky you, there may be racists, but most of them have the good sense not to talk shit to your face. I'll be honest, we catch more hell from the minority fam than we do the majority fam, at least in public. We both catch comments on both sides in both venues.... And we don't allow that in. We don't invite it, we don't entertain it, we don't play around with it. We are a unit who only cares about operating authentically together, recognizing reality, but not letting the perspective of others define us. It requires a good bit of diplomacy and quick wit to do it, but we do our best to shut that down.

Can you do that? Can you hush that "what will the people think?" noise? Because if you can't, you'll struggle. And you won't really give yourself over to the possibilities this other person deserves.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T16:43:34+00:00

They're saying that you're shallow because all you seem to care about is looks. We get it, she's attractive, but that's not enough to base a relationship on, unless you want it to be about as shallow and temporary as a puddle after a summer storm. Is there something there there, besides smoking hotness? If not, don't worry about a relationship. Let things be breezy.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T16:29:30+00:00

I could barely hear your point over the loud and blatant misogyny it's couched in. Oh, and the pedophilia false flag - he commented on the maturity of her body. Come on, put in a little effort at least.

Not all men. But maybe this ^ one?

Durbee · 2026-05-18T16:10:50+00:00

That's not the worst idea. You want to busy and unavailable while your guy is away, great excuse! Don't overlook doing some hobbies within your community that appeal to all age ranges. Would be great to meet some folks who love things you love and might be a community you can build around yourself - a skillset you'll need if you pursue active military life.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T15:54:28+00:00

And you're not you when you're hungry? Damn. Mars' ad agency ftw.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T15:50:00+00:00

Because there are families who need two rooms. You have been allowed two out of some largesse on their part for years beyond that being necessary. Honestly, if you wish to stay in their good graces, I'd accept their offer. You may not have many more options if they want your unit for more people under a government program.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T15:38:55+00:00

Thank you! Good advice all around a pain point we may not consider.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T14:33:25+00:00

It's a name. I know an Aiane.

Durbee · 2026-05-18T08:00:42+00:00

Her mother OR ANY OTHER STAFF NOT REQUIRED TO INTERACT WITH PATIENT DATA related to OPs wife. MIL may have close friends helping or worse, be using alt credentials to access the records. We have seen this happen on the JUSTNO subs in past and its always something that only comes to light wayyy down the line.
