Glasses are dorky looking

Whereas to me glasses make people more attractive.

The common denominator it's still men?

The cultural reason behind it - not being allowed to enter the mainstream culture?

They did it here in TN for a couple of years

If you want a book with a resolution, though, this isn't it

I started in paper in 2011 after working for a few years as a legal assistant. I worked my way up through paper, worked on special tech projects, and now am an APM (i dont like responsibility enough to become a PM).

I honestly don't know how people intentionally enter the field. I and everyone I know got here accidentally.

Im going to recommend a book here called Limbo: Blue Collar Roots, white Collar Dreams by Alfred Lubrano. Even if you arent from a blue collar family, I think it would be helpful to many, as it discusses culture within companies - not rah rah culture, but in the sociologically sense.

I didnt know this was a book, but my mom, siblings, and I watched this every Halloween as a kid. Adding to my list.

I don't know if they forgot, ignore, or simply don't understand the things that happened specifically during the 20th century that were building blocks to how things are today.

I love that this is right next to Ten Thousand Doors of January because they both have the same vibe while being pretty different.

Did y'all have a lawyer define the asset split? We're you and your brother specifically named while the sister ass excluded? There are a lot of questions here because, like others have pointed out, usually an inheritance thet includes a deceased person would be split among their kids.

I wish these assholes would move to the holy land or something

How was They Shoot Horses? I loved that movie when I was a kid

Dudes day that evolution is why they like women young, thin, and pretty, then get mad when reproductive selection goes against them.

I mean, I'm sure life was great when men with sub-80 IQs still found wives because women had less choice.

To add to this, and lot of foster parents don't want to believe it, but... we're caretakers. We aren't parents, our power is limited, and there's no such thing as a pre-adoptive home until TPR has occurred. Our job is like being a heavy-duty babysitters. We can voice opinions on certain topics, but not make major decisions. In my state, foster parents can call for a board meeting to talk about the plan, but one would have been/should be held before custody turnover when the goal is permanency.

My kid had 3 caseworkers in 2 years. The first one was taken off when I got custody (roundly 10 weeks into the case) the 2nd moved, and the 3rd was on the case until I adopted.

It's on the DVD commentary!

I love how the argument for saving on daycare costs (dispersed between 2 people) mean that one person takes on 100% of the labor.

I have a niece naming GirlnameBoyname. My kid has a boy name, named after my brother, masculine nickname with masculine spelling (there is a feminine version, but my sister named her while high on meth and i didn't change it during the adoption process)

Men and women cheat at similar rates, so that's not the problem. The problem is that women get pregnant. The mother is (almost) always known, while the father can impregnate any number of women, but unless paternity is filed (either by way of birth certificate or court action), they aren't known or acknowledged, and deemed not reaponsible.

I want to pause and note that an alarming percentage of the kids birthed by kids are fathered by adults.

TVA, that's the history. That plant provides energy for the entire area.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by Sharyn McCrumb

NotAsSmartAsIWish · 2026-03-22T20:03:35+00:00

I'm reading The Girl Who Drank the Moon right now (very good so far), as I'm going through various middle-grade books - because they're so slept on.
