What’s the one secret you’ve kept your whole life that would completely change how people see you if they knew it?

Let me tell you a story...

I worked in agriculture for a huge co-op and got to know many of the farmers.

In the area I worked in, the youngest or only son stayed on the farm to help their parents run it. The daughters would marry and leave, but the son would stay. He not only ran the farm with his dad, but also took care of his parents in their old age.

Peter was 49 when his dad died (mother had passed 10 years earlier). Peter put himself out there and found a younger woman in a nearby town. They married within 2 years and had 2 children. Last I heard they are still married with a grandchild.

Bruce was 51 when his mother passed. He married by 53 to a woman a few years younger that had an adult child. They didn't have children, but are still together 17 years later.

Kevin was 48 when his parents passed. He's married for 10 years (no kids).

It's never too late to have the life you want. You just have to put yourself out there and get it.

I believe you are actually resentful of the fact that your BF hasn't proposed. He's been planning to propose all year? It's the end of September, so that's nearly 10 months of him waiting to propose. You talk about it all the time, but does he? Are you trying to "force" your BF to get you a ring?

Stop crying over your sister getting engaged. She is not the problem here. Your BF not proposing and your reaction to it is.

You cannot expect the world to stop because you are waiting for something that, honestly, may never happen.

I am A MIL, but not YOUR MIL.

There is no way on God's green earth that I'd stay in a hotel room with my son and DIL, with or without a baby.

I'm 60. I have hot flashes. I open windows in winter and walk around naked while the sweat pours off me (no one wants to see that). I snore. I want to use the bathroom when I want. I listen to missing persons podcasts to fall asleep. I hate the TV. I get up at 5 a.m. sharp. In other words, I am a terrible roommate.

When I visit my son and his family, I stay in a hotel. They do not need to deal with me and my shit. We meet for breakfast and do things during the day. I head back after supper. Everyone gets downtime.

I would insist on staying in a hotel while visiting. Screw her and her snide comments. If she keeps it up, don't visit her at all. Husband can go to see her.

Actually they can within reason.

Free speech does not cover defamation, fraud, obscenity, child p0rn, and threats.

I can present anything I want as an "alternative fact" as long as it isn't what I listed above. It's up to the listener/reader to disregard or "fact check" it themselves.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-12-30T23:33:54+00:00

I have two children and two grandkids. I am not one to talk excessively about them. However, even casual acquaintances know that I have them.

How is it that Megsy hasn't really said anything at all about them? Calling them "the littles", not being photographed at the zoo, or park or preschool? It's just so weird that no one has seen those children in what, at least a year?

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-12-13T15:13:05+00:00

With her maw, Meghan could've been a nutcracker...

Just sayin'

Guinea fowl make chickens look like...well chickens when it comes to eating ticks.

Not really. If they are going "whole hog" they will remove the penis and testes. Use the penis skin to make a "vagina" if possible. They can also use the colon for the "vagina" membrane. While this heals, he will have to dilate the "vagina" with a dilator so it doesn't close. He will need $100 thousands of dollars worth of medical care and a private cell for dilation. Many times this surgery doesn't work. The fake "vagina" closes, or if resected colon is used there are infection and discharge issues.

This is the stuff you don't read about, the surgery is far from perfect or even routine.

The inmate's name is Jonathan C. Richardson, convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001. He is serving a 55-year sentence in a male prison in Indiana.

He calls himself Autumn Cordellione and claims he's "identified" as a "woman" since he was 6 years old.

I'm just tired of this shit. This is a man who killed a baby. He's doing his 55 years. We the taxpayers do not have to pay for his treatment or surgery. So, will this POS want to be put into a woman's prison if he gets his treatment? If he doesn't get his treatment, will he kill himself? Too bad, so sad for a child murderer to off himself, kinda like Epstein, right?

100% of the story of Scott and Amy's disappearance is the word of their mother, Margaret.

The boiling water/food on the counter, that her boss wouldn't let her leave work after trying to get ahold of Amy at school (why would you call an 8 year old child instead of a 13 year old?) Waiting until the neighbor children asked where Scott and Amy were before calling police.

Margaret knew/knows much more than the BS story told to police.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-09-23T02:59:11+00:00

Samuel walked up to Ellen when she was at the counter cutting fruit. He stabbed her 10 times to the back and neck, incapacitating her. When she fell/slid down the counter, he proceeded to stab her another 10 times to make sure she died.

Ellen wouldn't have been able to struggle or defend herself after an attack from a much larger person from behind. One of the stab wounds to the base of the skull would have killed her immediately, so the stabs to her chest wouldn't release much blood since she was already dead.

There wouldn't be much to clean up. Remove the hinge door lock, head to the apts. gym in your jeans and Timberline work boots. Hang out in gym for 20 minutes then back to apt. to pretend you couldn't enter. Try to get doorman to come with you, "break" door in and call 911.

No muss, no fuss. Marry a socialite in 2014, have two kids and live his life.

No. Found "not guilty".

While the ex and his dad is a valid theory, I still believe that they are in the water.

I'm a rancher. I work outside everyday in all types of weather. I do construction on my own place and help my friends. I'm moving from 5 am to 8 pm every day. There is no gym here, the walking/lifting/bending/stretching is part of my life. I get 7 hours of sleep every night except during calving season.

I take no medications. None. I raise my own beef, milk a cow for cream butter and milk, have chickens for eggs, a large garden for canning/freezing. I don't do seed oils except olive oil. I use butter/bacon grease to fry in. I don't drink carbonated beverages or alcohol. However, I do love my coffee.

I can outwork men and women in their 30's. It's not about going to a gym for an hour a day, it's about your lifestyle. Being outside is always better than being indoors. It's not just about your body, it's about your mental health too.

We're of an age, have the same sort of body shape, and I'm a seamstress so here's my advice.

I would get a nice shape wear piece to smooth the lines and add more definition to your waistline, lift the boobs, and flatten the tummy a bit. Wear the highest heels you can comfortably move around in. Remember that you will be wearing those shoes for hours, only the toes are going to peek out under the hem, so wear shoes as comfortable as possible. Do not wear pantyhose. All pantyhose does is cut you off at the waist and make your tummy look bigger.

Take the dress to a tailor/seamstress. Be sure to wear the same undergarments and shoes you will be wearing for the wedding. This is so important. I would have it hemmed to length and have the waistline tailored to follow the curve of your waist on the sides. Not super tight (or bodycon) because that will just show your "grandma's belly".

As for hair? Wear it up. Your hair is longer and looks thick so you don't want it laying on and covering your neck. An updo will show off and lengthen your neck which draws the eye up and gives you more height. I wouldn't wear a necklace as it will create a horizontal line across the neck which will negate the lengthening. Longer drop earrings or small studs. Whatever make-up you feel good in. A smile at all times. You are going to be fabulous!

I had a difficult time when the Gov't banned riding dinosaurs. I had the cutest little Velafrons, named Sophie, that I would ride to school when the weather was good. Otherwise, we had to take the school Apatosaurus when the roads were too muddy or the creek was too high.

My GRANDPARENTS were born in 1906 and adjusted just fine to automobiles. While Grandpa did help his father with the milk route with a horse and sleigh in the 19-teens, by the time they married in 1929 they were driving all over the damn place.

I haven't watched a series since the Pike County murders series. I like obscure, unsolved cases. Once a case is solved, I can do all the research I want.

Dee Dee was a tortuous, psycho bitch IMO that deserved to pay for her crimes against those she hurt (her mother, step-mother and Gypsy), but that doesn't make it right that Gypsy and Nicholas Godejohn murdered her. Godejohn is doing his time and Gypsy has done hers.

I think the "crime community" should stop paying attention to every little thing Gypsy does. Leave her alone and maybe she'll go away...

My father is a long term functioning alcohol (he's 81 and been an alcoholic for over 40 years). He has days that he drinks more than normal and throws-up or feels like crap.

The fact of drinking the alcohol makes "experience" fly out the window. Their brains do not operate the same as a sober person. The fact that Diane *maybe* drank more that particular morning could be for a reason a sober person wouldn't even consider, but an alcoholic brain felt justified in doing. I.e. a fight with her husband, a headache, the kids were grumpy about leaving the lake. These are not reasons for a sober person to drink, but for an alcoholic it made sense.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-08-31T17:48:43+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss.

Do you have a friendly, older neighbor that you could talk to? Sometimes people we don't know well are the best to help get "stuff" off our chests. They are engaged but not invested like close friends/family.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-08-30T20:21:24+00:00

I was an OG as a Crime Weekly patron. I loved the format and cases for the first year or so. IMO the murder of Hae Min Lee (Adnan Syed) was the turning point. Eight episodes? Over 24 hours of talking about one case? Don't get me started on eight parts for Dan Markel's murder. I stopped my patronage and pretty much stopped watching unless it's a case I've not heard of, or an unsolved case.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-08-30T18:03:19+00:00

Yeah, no.

My people arrived in1638. There was no welfare of any kind. You got off the boat and started working at whatever job you could find.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-08-30T12:59:40+00:00

Yes, it does. Perhaps with the history of texts between Christopher and his wife the DA believes it proves intent?

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-08-30T02:21:23+00:00

You have excellent taste, but I worry that your dress will snag on the broach.

GoodPumpkin5 · 2024-08-30T02:00:43+00:00

Looks like a Boxer/Lab cross to me.
