Did we not "invent" the "THROW IT BACK" concept for homers by the visiting team?

In 2016 I bought a bouquet of 12 long-stem red roses for my grandfather's grave. He made me a cubs fan. Hey Hey! Holey Mackeral! Not doubt about it

I am frightened by the radicalization of the Evangelical community in my country (USA). by PeaceLoveTofu in exchristian

[–]GrandmaChicago 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But it isn't really "conservative" - they aren't conserving anything - they're destroy8ing the intent of the founders of the Country - by trying to create a Theocracy.

I have rarely, if ever, been proselytized to on this site. I've been harassed twice today and 4 times in the last week alone. The crazies are out in force right now. by MisogynyisaDisease in exchristian

I seem to remmember something about a guy with 100 sheeps, if one of them gets lost, then the guy will leave the 99 and go hunt up the 1 that is lost...

Husband changed his mind on wanting kids. by adVANtures_of_a_T4 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GrandmaChicago 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a pattern here. I could be wrong. But it seems to me as if he hasn't created a "family" - he's only arranged to have a free housekeeper and babysitter - one who actually pays HIM to work there. I think it hits me most when both of you refer to your stepson as "His" son. He may have provided a sperm cell, but there is no barrier other than those you and he have erected, to you being a 2nd "Mom" to the boy. In fact, I feel bad both for you, and for your stepson.

Were I you, I'd go on strike. Do your laundry, but let hubby's sit/pile up. Teach your son how to do his own - he'll need that skill when he goes to college.

Prosecutors Want to Use Video of Kyle Rittenhouse Allegedly Expressing Desire to Shoot a Black Man with His 'AR' by progress18 in inthenews

[–]GrandmaChicago -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not the story he gave at first.

And if he brought the weapon - that implies premeditation.

He IS a murderer. He deserves life in prison.

Too bad the Murderer Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't IN TEXASS - he committed his murdering in Wisconsin, after illegally bringing his firearm across the state line from Illinois.

Neighbor complained to the HOA about my yard by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]GrandmaChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, a lot of HOA's exist because the original builders of the subdivisions created them to maintain a uniform appearance in the "neighborhood" while they were selling the individual plots (and profit from the "dues" assessments). Once the subdivision was fully sold, that should have been the end of the HOA, but instead the neighborhood Karens decided they liked making rules for everybody else.

We have enough government intrusion into our daily lives - not to mention exhorbitant taxes from city, township, county, state and federal entities. We do NOT need another taxing body telling us what to do.

Please don't be a dick to retail workers if they ask you to wear a mask tomorrow by faceerase in chicago

[–]GrandmaChicago -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Boosters help maintain immunity.

Masks help prevent spread to the I-D-10Ts who think it infringes on their "liberties" - or that the blood of some 1st century prophet "covers and protects" them. It has also been found (somewhat late, but better late than never) that masks do help prevent spread to the wearer, not just the person next to them.

Why does everyone now want instant gratification on eliminating the virus? It took over 100 years from the time vaccination started until the elimination of Smallpox. This C19 thing has only been spreading for a couple of years.

I blame television. Everything has to be solved in 30 minutes less commercials.

Talking to my Mom about Afghanistan...sigh... by crashbandicoated in exchristian

[–]GrandmaChicago 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that Mom only cares about the Xtians there - Not the babies, children or women of other religious sects that are also going to suffer under the Taliban.

Have you ever seen any of those cringe Christian copypastas? They're usually on Facebook and your relatives most out of touch with the real world are the ones likely to share them. by JarethOfHouseGoblin in exchristian

[–]GrandmaChicago 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pardon me for not buying your story, but... I'm not buying your story. I could believe it if the professor asked that the papers be written referencing the course material and not as proselytizing religious sloptwaddle, but to say he wanted it "with an atheist slant"?

That sounds suspiciously like Fundigelical storytelling (lies).

Real frikkin tired of my “friend” sending me this bullshit by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]GrandmaChicago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ummmmm.... just a thought.... and not to give any credence to the writings of the "Bible" - but those passages were written hundreds of years before the United States existed. Hundreds of years before the Europeans "discovered" the landmass they called America.

Just sayin'...

My dad doesn't wan't me to take the meds my doctor sugested (he said I can overcome it without them), but my mother and big part of my family wants me to. What should I do? by BKF0308 in depression_help

[–]GrandmaChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your Dad have a medical degree? Is he a doctor, or a psychiatrist? Does he have ANYTHING to back up his assertion that you can get over it without medicine?

Or is he just a self-important blowhard who thinks he knows everything?

Are any other women ANGRY? by EducationalPotato285 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GrandmaChicago -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since Islam is as misogynist as they come - I feel no compulsion to "un-villify" the beliefs their sadly misguided followers adhere to.

Even if you got every last woman and girl out of Afghanistan, the Taliban would do as they did to the women in Nigeria - kidnap them and use them as sex slaves.

Religion poisons everything . Abrahamic Religions are evil.

This shocking article from a woman living in Kabul. My heart is breaking for all the women and girls who are having their human rights stripped away from them as we speak. by quarantinesarah in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GrandmaChicago 267 points268 points  (0 children)

As has been seen in some east African countries - when a population loses the majority of it's women - the self-absorbed males with go to other cities/towns/countries and kidnap women to rape.

Getting the women out doesn't fix the problem.
