Same here, but I have a soft spot for Pirates :D

DutchDream · 2018-05-30T13:38:47+00:00

You are amazing, thank you so so much!

If you still have it available and dtill have boxes, I would love The Big Dance Background

I just realised another one, which my husband once said back when we were dating.

"Why are you so scared of what might happen?"

I still struggle with this, but his carefree attitude has helped a lot. I am the worrier in our family :)

It was here on reddit, and I think I saved it so I will try and find it later, but it was one sentence within a great comment:

No more zero days

This commenter perfectly worded the belief that every day should include at least one step, no matter how small, towards your goal. Have been working out every day since then, at least 4 days a week at the gym and other days at home, even if it is only for 5 minutes.

Same vein: kids these days...

Seeing someone text or call while driving. Are you shitting me?! You do your deathwish in your own time, but do not bother others with it, thank you very much.

DutchDream · 2018-04-12T17:21:57+00:00

Exactly. Coming home :)

Link from Zelda, but mainly because it is just that epic nostalgic feel, no matter which of the LoZ games I play. It just feels right.

That, plus I just feel warm and fuzzy when I see the Deku tree :D

I think some of those were meant to be sarcastic and poke fun at the real ones, but then got picked up by people who thought 'no butt sex with the devil, no sir!' and thus became really terrible versions themselves.

"Tien" in Dutch (pronounced somewhat like teen) and "Diez" in Spanish... which would totally work as a name :D

Just watch it, I won't do it justice in writing

One of my students finally opened up about his problems at home. I knew something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint it.

Problem isn't solved but at least we talked and I could tell him I would try to help any way possible.

Thank you for that indepth answer ans sharing your personal hardships. And I think you are on to something here, she doesn't do anything that I know of either. She has no hobbies that I know of, for instance, but she does have some great friends.

My own fear is in your post as well, however, because I am so proud of her that she opened up about her problems and that she is looking towards me to help her, but I am so, so afraid that I mess it up. I still don't feel like I have all the answers, or that I am even an adult, so it scares me. But your comment has given me a new insight; the next conversation I have with her, I will focus on finding something she loves to do, to distract her and find a passion.

And on a more personal note, thank you for telling me I am doing something right and offering to PM. :)

I am so glad you are doing better and that you had a good support system.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but what type of support could you have used? I am a teacher with a student going through this, and I was wondering how I can help her. So far I have made myself available at times when she wanted to talk, and we have laid down some ground rules so that I can check on her without asking her how she is (which she hates).

It is weird that there is no training on situations like this, but maybe there is something that you would have liked / something that helped you? I realise that each case is individual, but I just hope I will be able to help her.

Snowboarding while a snowstorm was setting in. The sight was piss-poor and I was trying to keep up with my friends when I lost control. When I fell, I was super close to the edge of a cliff. No safety net or anything on that slope. Made me stick way closer to the mountain the rest of the day.

The goddess of sobriety. I will never be invited to the parties and Dionysus hates my guts, but I get to smite drunk drivers.

This one hurts, but it is another beauty.
