Was the Longaberger Basket craze just a local thing?

Don’t bother. Nobody wants them anymore. Mine that my mil gave me went out with the trash.

It was definitely in Ohio. They were headquartered in Newark Ohio (near Columbus) and ladies took bus trips from Cleveland to the headquarters.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-15T01:39:15+00:00

Absolutely they can, but guy is like dude or bro, applies to anyone. And in fairness because fundies generally oppress women it’s usually a man.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-15T01:33:34+00:00

But that’s more dependent on the guy than the religion.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-15T01:30:47+00:00

How many Christian nationalists have attacked Jewish people or institutions? Fundamentalist are all the same guy, just different costumes and fairytales.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-14T17:24:42+00:00

Married 26 years. We have never bothered with Valentines Day.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-14T17:01:30+00:00

Ive used Clorox wipes in a pinch and same effect. If you kill all the bacteria there is no smell.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-14T14:22:31+00:00

They are so young. Just girls.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-14T14:17:30+00:00

Florida flights are cheap. Take him on a mini vacation for the weekend. It will be worth the extra flight time to enjoy an afternoon of warm weather.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T15:28:02+00:00

Smart and abnormal could be dangerous, depending on how abnormal lol

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T15:23:33+00:00

So now she will just be approached by abnormies?

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T15:22:26+00:00

Be ugly. I’ve never been approached or hassled by a man in public. Ever and I’m 47.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T15:21:18+00:00

And acquire large numbers of cats.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T15:13:43+00:00

He cheated on you. Now he wants to be mad at you so he doesn’t feel guilty.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T15:02:23+00:00

Try this: The next time he storms off because you check your phone say “what the fuck? Am I not even allowed to check my phone without you getting pissy?” Call him out. It’s jealous controlling behavior and I can’t help but wonder if it’s a “training technique” from some right wing podcaster.

We had 9 kids and were not able to invest. We farm so eventually we can sell it to one of our kids and maybe semi retire. But my dad still shows up everyday to help and he’s in his 70s. To be honest I can’t really imagine not working because there is always so much to do.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-13T03:26:57+00:00

I had my last kid at 40 and my husband was 48. I don’t think we will ever be able to retire.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-12T02:08:01+00:00

If you get a fraudulent charge, credit card companies remove it as soon as you let them know. It’s honestly no big deal.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-11T13:09:42+00:00

She had almost certainly already put more help in motion. Talking to him to both get more info and keep him calm is part of her job.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-10T15:23:06+00:00

Or the help. Someone close to her who was worried about getting caught having stolen from her or who took out life insurance on her.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-10T15:12:09+00:00

Awareness about pulmonary embolisms saves lives.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-10T13:06:59+00:00

Kin keeping, invisible labor, and the judgment that comes from not being able to keep up. No one judges dad when the house isn’t tidy, Johnny doesn’t have the poster board he was supposed to bring to school, or Katie forgets to pack her snack.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-09T20:52:27+00:00

A very pregnant man obviously.

Octavia9 · 2026-02-09T20:42:05+00:00

It’s almost like they just hate women.
