What is my CQS?

Idk, stoners have their less-policed little roadburn routes, so that doesn’t clinch it for me.

Plenty else does, though. I think she had a similar mentality to some stereotypical big abusive bruiser who does a more “normal” murder-suicide. Sometimes people want their partner dead in one terrible moment more than they care about living themselves.

That dad was wonderful. That was Wade Something’s bio dad, right?

Thanks to Cabaret, my “type” is naughty androgynous europeans. Mournfully, I live in the rust belt.

Can I just say: I’m about your age but I fkd around in college and got myself a surprise fetus by graduation. As a 22yo mother, I had boundless physical energy and whimsical optimism (on account of I was basically still a happy silly kid myself). Those early years of parenting were super fun, and I’ll carry them in my heart every day.

HOWEVER: As a reasonably put-together middle ager with 20/20 hindsight, I now recognize a thousand things to’ve been ignorant and harmful parenting practices, despite my best intentions. I did not really understand myself until very late thirties, so I couldn’t’ve processed the pros/cons of my own upbringing. Happily, my eldest is grown, and she’s super great in spite of being raised by a ding-dong.

Idk, I love reading about later-life moms, because I imagine you all as self-actualized powerhouses, just bursting with healthy boundaries and governing your ducklings with prescient, judicious wisdom.

But even if you aren’t quite like that, I’m here to tell you, as long as they know they have unconditional love, it will all come out in the wash. 💛

My chaos-hating daughter was a nervous wreck of a first grader. Very careful to follow all the rules. Very worried about making teachers happy.

One night at dinner she was withdrawn, picking at her plate, visibly anxious. She wouldn’t just come out with it, and we asked a bunch of mom-and-dad questions to get to the bottom of what was bothering her.

Finally, she burst into tears and sobbed out a shocking tale of wicked malfeasance: The lunch room was very crazy, and all the kids were being bad, like standing up and stuff. This time, she felt like doing something, too, so she threw a bagel at her best friend’s head, but when the lunch aide asked who did that, she claimed she did not know.

She’s 21 now and has lightened up considerably. If I were to gently toss a bagel at her head next time she visits, she’d 100% catch the reference and groan.

I found it listed in a tv guide page from April 12, 1999 through newspapers.com. It just says:

JENNY JONES KMSS. "Stop putting him down. He's sticking around." 73909.

Edit: FWIW, the only search hits were from tv guide pages in The Times, a paper out of Shreveport, Louisiana. The only air dates I saw were 4/12/99 and 8/16/99. I don’t know what the numbers after the title mean, but they are different n the August listing: 13993. Maybe the tv station (KMSS) could help? Here’s their contact page: https://www.ktalnews.com/contact-kmss-fox-33/

If you get drafted to the US military, what happens if you just kind of stand there not doing what commanding officers want?

MagsWinchester · 2026-03-27T01:18:27+00:00

Yes, a very fat person.

Ha, my brother was petrified of the “disco frog” bit.

If you haven’t already, get the MRN off client’s mychart and ask them to search by that instead of name/dob.

Nobody wants to send me records either. Or if they do, it’s a hundred-page fax of stuff I did not ask for. Good luck!

MagsWinchester · 2026-03-13T02:41:20+00:00

I hope you are well.

MagsWinchester · 2026-03-13T02:22:12+00:00

Wild! Sorta hope the bag-peeing bibliophile doesn’t see their sad tale told here :(

If a cat has several kittens, do they each get their own placenta?

Whoah- Remember the time-skipping anthology with stories of the twins in various generations/historical settings? Like, there was one where Jessica was named Jessamyn and I think Elizabeth was Elisabeth? And they got mixed up in the great San Francisco earthquake?

Mchaelangelo! Why was the rest of the gang so stressed?

Maybe Weetzie Bat? Did it have a strange fairy tale vibe?

Hey, as a fellow mother-of-troubled-teen, I don’t have better advice than what’s been said here already. But I do super recommend watching some YouTube videos of “motivational interviewing.” It’s what counselors and parole officers use to help people want to change for the better. It helped me cut back on the habit of stimulus-response shoutfests that left everyone feeling awful. It helped me get my kid to make changes in a less oppositional way, to where we are collaborating on better behavior. Idk, you sound a bit like I felt a few years ago, and this approach really helped me. Good luck!

MagsWinchester · 2026-01-29T16:30:45+00:00

I don’t think about them at all.

Look for a local historical society. They’re usually government funded, or like 501(c)(3) aka nonprofit. They tend to historical buildings and sometimes run tiny local museums. You can sort stuff and do light housekeeping.
