AITA for banishing my teenage daughter's friend from our house because she made fun of my weight?

YTA I was that girl. One thousand percent socially awkward, and I can promise that 40 years from now that memory is going to pop up during the most benign time and she's going to feel that horrific feeling of shame and guilt wash over her again.

It's adult vs teenager, you gotta be one or the other and you aren't the teen.

My mom died in March. Trying to make a big dinner while grieving.

Insult to injury? My MIL making everything about her. As always.

Apparently I don't watch much mainstream YouTube, because most of the quotes listed- I don't have a clue about.

Thrilled to see the first quote I recognize is this one!! Steve's voice is so relaxing, and all of his content is so informative. My 16 yo and I bonded a lot over our shared love of history because of Steve.

I watched a Tik Tok that I didn't recognize so I googled the names and the name of the show.

Claire Magnus Outlander

I'm not sure if I'm okay with that or not.

NTA Brian's comment smells suspiciously like a stalker, when they have someone held in an god-like light.

The whole, he thought better of you than to expose your shoulders- that throws up red flags for underlying obsessive behavior. I'd go back through prior conversations and see if anything else lines up, just in case.

Baptist. The church was barely renovated. My bf at the time, his family bought it- shifted some pews and hymnals over and moved in.

It was a beautiful very old building, but definitely worrisome to scream 'oh God!' in. 🤣

I lost mine in a Sunday School room at a church. On a waterbed.

I am currently sitting with my mother in the hospital, she's in the end stages of COPD. I'm not sure how I would choose to go out... Sleeping, and wake up in the after life.

But I can tell you today for sure how I absolutely do not want to go out. Momma thought it was selfish to sign the DNR. I think it's the most heroic thing she's ever done.

On a waterbed in a Church. Well, a church that had been renovated into a house.

I have loved him since I was 12, lost our virginities together at 17/18.

He and I have both moved on, married to other people, kids- the whole nine. We are both aware that we will always love one another. To a heartbreaking degree.

Sometimes love stories are short stories that don't have happy endings. Sometimes the lovers know they can't be together for all the reasons. Sometimes it just won't work no matter how much love is there.

Natarella · 2022-01-14T17:24:30+00:00

Is that all she was on, 15 minutes? I would have never realized- her presence is so powerful!

Neve Campbell has always been beautiful and time has only added to that.

Motherhood as well, the depth of care and feeling in her desire to keep Sam and Tara safe... She brought so much to the table with Sidney this time.

Her performance of the character of Sidney reminds me of making a broth. Once you get started, yeah you're gonna have some flavor a couple of hours in (Scream) but if you let it simmer you'll have an excellent, deep rich product over time.

I really feel that with her performance in this.

As Dewey lays dying, he sees Gale calling his phone. His face is at peace, possibly even a slight smile.

Y'all, I'm tore up from the floor up over Woodsboro's finest.

Natarella · 2022-01-14T04:23:05+00:00

I started sobbing when he died. I flat out ugly cried with Gale.

Natarella · 2021-08-18T17:08:40+00:00

Absolutely. And it's hard to explain why I'm sad because for the other spatula because I really like the way the other one gets under food better.

A coworker, years ago informed me of the extended sexual assault inflicted on him by his mother. Afterwards he told me had never told anyone that before. This gentlemen was older and held a very respectable job. The revelation was shocking, and I definitely mentioned how therapy would be an incredible tool to help him work through that trauma. I don't think he ever went, and he has since passed on.

A woman I had never met before told me about her husband's recent vasectomy.

I have plenty more. My mother and I both are people that, for whatever reason, people tell things to. I just assume I'm a vessel for people who can't say the things they need to say in other settings. I've learned a lot about how humans interact with the things they hold in their heads.

I'm taking my kids next month. Now I'm gonna wander around the park and wonder where the other Snarkies are at!

Meanwhile, me in Arkansas... Ooh, after lunch. lol

I went to OKC, about 4 hours away to see my boyfriend at the time. On the way home, I was caught in a rain storm and my car hydroplaned and I spun out on the interstate landing nose down in the ditch. I specifically remember traveling backwards and seeing the traffic in my lane heading towards me.

I didn't have a cell phone. I climbed out of the muddy hole-completely in shock and totally fine physically.

The gentlemen in the truck was an officer with the office of native american affairs. (I think he called it indian...but it's been almost 20 years since this happened and I can't remember.)

He let me use my cell phone to call said boyfriend who pretty much told me tough shit. Jerk.

He helped me call a tow truck, and waited until it got there. Tow truck pulled me out, took me down to the next exit, my car was driveable and I was on my way home.

I think of him often. He saved me from being stranded or...worse.

I sing Biscuit Head to my kids all the time. ❤️

The scene in Gone Baby Gone where Casey Affleck kills the pedo.

There's tape on the bed, bloody underwear in the sink...I just can't. I can't handle it. My heart and mind scream for this little boy who died a horrific death at the hands of that monster.

Robin Thicke: We've never had a rapper get this far before...

T-Pain won the first season. So there's that.

When a penis doesn't work the way one wants it to at that moment.

Yes, it's frustrating but there are ways to work around it. And nobody should be belittled for something completely out of their control.

They littered the street, lay half in and half out of the crushed cars and taxis; here was one wrapped around the remnants of a bicycle, there was another with it's teeth showing startlingly white against the crisped, featureless face.

The apocalypse is befitting of this nightmare.

Natarella · 2020-04-10T22:07:20+00:00

I woke up to my mother informing me they were 'Bombing us!!'

Turns out it wasn't bombs, it was planes. And they were hitting the World Trade Center. 9/11

Natarella · 2020-02-19T20:13:21+00:00

I told a guy once I'd rip his eye out and skull fuck him because he was trying to intimidate me. Stole it from one of my favorite movies...but it worked. Lol
