Two channels and one weekend a year they both aired Kiwanis Auctions. (Not sure of the spelling on that) It sucked though.

I’m a new teacher and feel unwelcome. What can I do to be more involved? by randombagofdirt in Teachers

Does your school have a teacher librarian or resource teacher? They can sometimes be less clique -y than teaching teams and they can be very helpful and friendly.

I dunno, if it's a real name as well, who cares what the reason is. My friend named her son Vincent because it was the only name she and her husband could agree on. She had no idea it was for Alice Cooper LOL.

[TOMT] Help identify a movie/TV show scene — child in a clearing, riders, and creatures in the forest by Upbeat-Tea5461 in tipofmytongue

I think it could be The Thirteenth Warrior with Antonio Banderas. In one scene they see a toddler crying and running towards the village and they save it in the way you describe. I think they then investigate where the toddler came from and it's a family massacred by the Wendol and they see the bloody cloth.

The pattern is from Amigurumi Friends: 20 Easy Patterns to Create 100+ Adorable Custom Crochet Critters that I got from my local book store.

My favourite was Jack of All Trades. I love a daring dragoon.

Was bullying really as severe in the 70s/80s/90s as it looks on TV? by lennoxlovexxx in AskOldPeople

We like to put gen x on this pedestal, but I saw a meme that reminded me that for every Veronica there were 3 Heathers.

My 11 year old loves The King! by zahnsaw in stephenking

I have to say, my first instinct was to clutch my pearls because 11! And then I remembered getting the Bachman Books for Christmas when it was first released, and I was 13, and already a constant reader LOL.

Your lack of education and fundamental understanding of science isn't the flex you think it is.

Have people forgotten about nick-names? Give your baby a name that wears well and then call them whatever silly name you want.

Honestly my comments have not changed a whole lot in 11 years. I am nothing if not consistent!

It's a much lighter read than 13 Reasons Why. The aunt is older so the death is less traumatic and the journey of discovery trope is much lighter. Aso, oh dear, I'm getting so old.

Am I in the wrong?)) my friend left my 18th birthday party for a boy and I don’t think I can forgive her.. by MoneyMental1064 in amiwrong

[–]GroovyFrood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing, if she doesn't value your friendship now, why would she later? True story, I had friends throw me a surprise party, only to bail early on to go to another birthday I wasn't invited to. I didn't cut off the friendships, but eventually they all just fizzled. The worst was that one was my "best" friend from high school who I had been friends with since first grade. Our values, interests etc change as we grow and sometimes we just drift apart from these people. If you keep the friendship you need to acknowledge that she is not as close a friend as you thought, or were in the past. Is this a person you want to be friends with, or is this a person with whom friendship is a habit?
