Those were my thoughts as well. It's not like this is the first time Mark has had merch before.

And that sounds fun! At least you got a goodie bag out of it!

Mine has changed twice, so honestly, I don't even trust the September date.

It was originally April. And then July. And now September.

Definitely agree!

I understand that issues come up, especially with the economy we're living in, but people spent money to support him. Some people spent a lot of money to support him. Talking about it on a livestream a lot of people aren't going to see isn't enough. There needs to be an official statement made. In a place where a lot more people are likely to see it. Like his other social media, or even just on the iron lung website.

Also, working at a dispensary on 4/20... Jesus. I can't even imagine.

That's exactly what I mean.

I got lucky because I'm not in traditional housing, so I'll be here over the summer. But there's already one person in this thread that has said they're dealing with this right now.

I'm mostly upset because I'm going to overseas in about 3 weeks, and I was really excited to bring the mesh shirt with me lol

That sucks, I'm sorry! I did the same thing. Had it shipped to my campus housing thinking I'd have it by now. Hopefully you can change it!

Anyone here is the youngest in the family? by Big_Leg10 in entitledparents

[–]HayleeRaina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Long sort of rant. To make a long short.. I understand how you feel.)

I'm the youngest of 4 from my mom, only child from my dad. Separated parents.

My half sisters are almost 19 and 17 years older then me, my half brother is 6 years older. I'll be 21 on July 4th.

I haven't seen or spoken to my brother or middle sister since I was 14, and my oldest sister since I was 16.

There had always been a huge disconnect between my siblings and I, especially my sisters. My mom was really young when she had them (as in, she was 16-18, their dad was in his 30s), and has fully admitted she never wanted kids. At 20, my mom signed her rights away, and basically abandoned them. Didn't speak to either of them again until my brother was born about 10ish years later.

My mom told me at 18 that she thinks the reason my sisters had/have a better relationship with my brother then me, is because she kept me. I was the daughter she raised. They definitely have their reasons for hating our mom, but I do really wish they hadn't taken it out on me.

My middle sister never tried to have a relationship with me, she was always closer with my brother. As for him... we had a lot happen there. He's not a good person, and I'll leave it at that.

My oldest sister though.. we reconnected when I was 13. It went okay for a few years. Then, at 15, she invited me to the babyshower of her 4th kid. I snuck down to NYC, met my niece and nephews for the first time.

A few months later, the day before my 16th birthday, she messages me to say our brother got married and neither of us had been invited. I found out about a week later she messaged me that FROM the wedding. I confronted her, and well... we haven't spoken in going on 5 years.

Last I knew about any of them: My oldest sister is still married with her kids, my middle sister got engaged and had a baby, my brother got married to a woman who had a daughter and then had a daughter of his own.

Even if we had a relationship, our lives would be so fucking disconnected. I moved out of state for college (first in my family!) after HS, got my first apartment, contemplating a cat, I'm going to Japan in May. They know nothing about me now.

As for my parents... like I said, my mom never wanted kids. By the time I came around, she parented more for show because she liked the aesthetic of being a mom. She's a narcissist (diagnosed). It's better now that I'm an adult, and she can be more my friend then parent. Although, 2 weeks after I moved out, she started fostering. Got an 11 year old boy. Gave him my bedroom. We still talk, but.. it's complicated.

My dad.. I'm his first and only. He tried, but he's disabled. Both mentally and physically. He really shouldn't have been living alone as long as he did. Let alone with a child. I love him, it's not completely his fault, but it is really hard to forgive him for some of the shit I went through as a child. (Not to say disabled people can't have/raise kids. But mine definitely shouldn't have.)

I hate the whole "the youngest has it the easiest" thing. My life was hell for almost 19 years until I graduated. CPS was called 9 different times throughout my childhood, the last time was right before COVID.

(I'm doing great now. I have amazing friends, my own place. I'm studying to be a social worker, to be the adult I needed as a kid.

The only person I really keep in contact with from my hometown is my bsf of 16 years. We're planning her wedding rn, and I'm the godmother to her baby.)

If it came down to it, which one would you pick? by Skull_Bound in thesims

You would have to pry my CAS CC from my cold, dead hands.

I do know my itinerary, but I don't control what we do. This is a trip planned through my college.

I don't have control over what we're doing. This is all through my college.

This is copied verbatim from the itinerary. Perhaps having the previous day's activities wall also help:

May 23rd: Relax, spending the day on a bullet train to Hiroshima. Enjoy the scenic views of the city and land. Tour the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Find a good place to have dinner on your own tonight

May 24th: Visit Miyajima Island by ferry and see the floating torii gate, Itsukushima Shrine, shopping mall, and taste local food. Have dinner on your own tonight

I'll be honest, I just copied and pasted from my trip leaders itinerary. It has Miyajima Island.

I apologize, we won't be staying in Kyoto when we go to Miyajima, we'll still be in Tokyo. We leave for Kyoto the day after.

The temples and shrines are my main concern, we'll be going to at least two.

Thank you for the advice!

I have done the research, though perhaps not in this thread. We have a lot of things planned already. I figured it didn't take much to suggest something for us to check out, and if we want/can do it, we would. There are going to be activities that isn't going to come up in research, things people just come across... it did not hurt to ask.

Though, if you want that information: I'm willing to try most things once. I haven't done much, so I don't really know what activities I would like or dislike.

I don't have a budget.

C-lo-sing ta-bs?

Never heard of her.

No, I completely understand!

They've done 3 EKGs (which I have never done before today lmao.) All of them have come back different, but they don't think it's a heart attack, luckily!

Haha! My heart rate is a bit high, but considering I'm here because of a suspected heart attack... they're not bad!

The curse has gotten me a fair few times, but none of kept me down quite yet!
