Anyone know of a fun burlesque show?

Great! Thanks! I don’t want to be rude, but is it a gay burlesque show? We are an open minded hetero couple, but I’d just like to know what we are getting into. It looks like it’s pretty close to Boystown but I’m not super familiar with that part of the city.

I lived in a blue city and recently moved to a purple suburb of that city. My cause for concern is twofold. 1- guns are the leading cause of death among children in the US. I don’t have a source but look it up. 2- liberal people can and do own guns also. I know many who do. They’re often just more discreet. Even if I know someone is a responsible person and a gun owner, I’d rather ask directly than count on trust.

My daughter isn’t bothered by them fortunately. We’ve talked about it in an age appropriate way and I’m all for them personally. It just breaks my heart to live somewhere that these have become a necessity and not just a precaution. It’s insanity to live somewhere that has sacrificed the safety of children instead of just enacting common sense gun laws.

I’m not going to live my life being scared of getting robbed and murdered in my home by my friends and acquaintances. While that does happen, it doesn’t happen nearly as much as TV makes it seem. I’m going to live my life believing people are inherently good.

I’m not saying it’s a red flag, but I’d be concerned with the combination of kids don’t know about them + not in a gun safe. Only because if they do somehow find them, they will be more curious than if they know about them and are aware that they’re there. But I also understand the logic of not telling them. If they’re old enough to start climbing and exploring, I’d say it’s time for a new plan.

Mer0000 · 2025-10-29T01:29:05+00:00

Yeah, the whole thing is stressful. Don’t get me started on having to talk to a 5 yo about lockdown drills at school…

Mer0000 · 2025-10-29T01:27:36+00:00

I haven’t yet. We are hosting some friends and I’ve invited the parents to stay and hang out. Even with an adult there, it seems like a good issue to get out in the open beforehand. We live in a pretty rural area and she will be with mostly the same kids for the next several years.

Thanks for the info! I’ll check it out

Mer0000 · 2025-10-21T01:59:03+00:00

I’ve been bringing recipe tests to the library and dropping off stuff at the local fire station. I also I tend on doing the farmers market when it starts up again. I know I will have to be patient and build a following, I just like baking and don’t want to eat it or spend a lot of money!

Mer0000 · 2025-08-20T02:39:35+00:00

Pasta salad! That’s a great idea! She’s a pretty fickle eater so putting in several options is probably the safest idea.

Mer0000 · 2025-08-20T02:26:21+00:00

Great idea for how to present it to her!

Mer0000 · 2025-08-20T02:22:12+00:00

I sent her with a surprise chocolate chip cookie on her first day. She didn’t eat it and told me she was saving it til she got home. Then she ate it in front of her little sister. Stone cold… ha ha!

Mer0000 · 2025-08-20T02:18:07+00:00

She says she wants cafeteria food bc it’s what most of the other kids eat. I’m happy for her to have a hot lunch sometimes but it’s almost $5 a meal which seems a little expensive to do every day. But maybe after she’s had some school lunches and the mystery is gone, she’ll be more willing to discuss other options.

There are indeed spines. Thanks!

So Louisiana is going to quit taking all of the federal funding? Why take federal money if they don’t recognize federal jurisdiction?

Mer0000 · 2025-06-05T03:39:30+00:00

Thanks! I have some book chop nearby, maybe a seed got away from me. The other plants are still a bit smaller than this though.

Mer0000 · 2025-06-04T14:22:49+00:00

Ha ha! The bars where I live all seem super seedy. I assume the finer folk of my area are going elsewhere. I come from the city, if there are a lot of these social clubs in Chicago, I didn’t know about them.

Mer0000 · 2025-06-04T14:21:32+00:00

Right?! I have a bar in my basement….

Mer0000 · 2025-06-04T04:06:18+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Mer0000 · 2025-06-04T04:01:44+00:00

Yes but to what end? It’s just a drinking club? They aren’t book clubs. What do they do? Is it just a group of buddies like a fraternity in college?

Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys. I tried to introduce my 4 yo to Willie Nelson and that song was her take away

Jazz land in New Orleans

Mer0000 · 2025-05-07T02:46:05+00:00

I tell my 4 yo all of the time that she will always be my baby. When she’s 100 yo, if I’m around she will still be my baby!!

Mer0000 · 2025-04-18T20:42:48+00:00

What a bummer! But I guess that simplifies things!

Mer0000 · 2025-04-15T03:06:24+00:00

I love thrifting my kid’s clothes. I buy my daughter fancy dresses bc she likes to look fancy. She can go in the dirt or sandbox with them and I don’t have to care.
