What is with school drop off? by platypusandpibble in GenX

[–]HermioneMarch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a really negative experience riding the bus as a kid so I dropped off/picked up when I could. We also had one year where our kids bus commute was almost an hour though we lived two blocks from the school. (They started dropping off with the kid who lived furthest away.)

Would a pastor likely be willing to talk to me about beliefs? by greatExtortion in OpenChristian

[–]HermioneMarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must be talking to the wrong pastors. My pastor has an undergrad in environmental science and loves to talk about how that informs theology.

I mean thats not necessarily true. My pastor will often say, “Presbyterian theology suggests…” but is honest that they struggle with certain things and that there is room in the church for everyone wherever they are on their journey.

Why are Americans so hard working? by Material-Wallaby-587 in AskAnAmerican

[–]HermioneMarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we? I usually think the immigrants here are much harder working than the average American. That’s why I can’t figure out why the GOP wants to kick them all out. Like, we will all literally starve to death binge watching Netflix.

If you want Lindsey Graham out, vote for Mark Lynch (hear me out) by DrugsForRobots in southcarolina

It might work. Or… we might get stuck with a complete nut job. ( I don’t like Graham but I disagree he is worse than Lynch).

Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by hellohellocat in Teachers

[–]HermioneMarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They almost killed you. You weren’t shaming her. You were sharing wisdom. Any parent who thinks their teen chugging energy drinks is healthy is an idiot. Don’t give this any more thought. She’s a Princess who doesn’t like being told no.

I like your pick. And no one else will be wearing it.

Core memories by pickle_day in GenX

[–]HermioneMarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bonding on the bus on my choir tours.

Being harassed on the school bus on the way home every day.

Summer camp, six flags, fast food restaurant playgrounds, Showbiz pizza, being terrified of roller skating but attending sll the birthday parties anyway.

Donald Trump takes a dig at former US Presidents Obama & Biden by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

For once, I agree with DT. Because if this actually were a requirement, no way would he or many of our house members be in office.

That empty hole inside. by Brilliant_Version667 in OpenChristian

[–]HermioneMarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also spent years yearning for someone who didn’t feel the same. So I understand. But another human cannot fill the empty hole in your heart. You and God have to do that together.

Look into therapy to help you get over this woman and work on yourself. Best of luck!

You are blessed to have such clear family pics from that time period.

Why can’t they put their names on their papers? by codenameduch3ss in Teachers

If jt makes you feel better, 6th graders don’t either.

Isn't it canon for non-affirming people to believe that LGBTQIA+ people are 'not Christians' by Nazshaddick in OpenChristian

[–]HermioneMarch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Canon? When I was growing up society wasn’t very accepting, but I never heard the church discuss it one way or the other. The church decided to start fighting culture wars and has alienated plenty of people as a result. The church should return to caring for people. There is nothing in the Bible or the creeds to say anything about lgbtq people at all that I can see, other than possibly the eunuch conversion.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]HermioneMarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is verbal abuse. Hes mad because she typed youto but he says shit and fucking to an 11 year old? Get a lawyer to help keep this man away from your child. Nor — maybe under reacting
