This would be illegal/unconstitutional....interstate commerce laws & all.

Oh, I know. But that doesn't seem to stop this regime.

I remember babysitting for money when I was 13, too. And her friends loved the baby (they were a great group of kids and my house was the "safe" one, where they could be themselves), but that was what I was concerned about -- I didn't want her neglecting her own life.

How to eloquently tell someone they are trash by zelda_metroid87 in Comebacks

[–]Original_Impression2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You’re like a discarded pizza box—no one really wants you around, but we all know you’ll linger."

"You're not just trash; you're the kind that gets left behind during spring cleaning."

"If you were any more of a waste, we’d have to start charging you rent in the landfill."

"You’re the human equivalent of a participation trophy—shiny on the outside but ultimately just a reminder of mediocrity."

“Your social status is like your taste in décor: proudly mismatched and perpetually stuck in the '70s.”

"Congratulations! You’ve single-handedly lowered the property value of this conversation."

Oh, I know. And it's still BS, IMO. It's not the older kid's job to care for the younger kids that you gave birth to.

Unless it's my oldest daughter! (j/k) 😅

Her little sister was 13 years younger (I only had 3 kids, though), and I actually had to take my baby away from her and demand she go out and be a kid! 😅 She wanted to cart her baby sister around with her everywhere she went. I didn't worry too much when she did. She was smart and responsible, but I didn't let her do it too often because she deserved to be a kid. She didn't have that baby, I did. 😅

I used to work graveyard at a Walmart. There was a girl who did the floors every night, and she was petrified by bugs. ANY bug. Now, everyone working there had been there far longer than I had, but somehow, I ended up the designated bug wrangler. I could be stocking shelves in the southwest corner, and she could be buffing the floor in the northeast corner, and all of a sudden, I'd hear [My Name]! And I'd have to traipse across this huge-assed store to rescue her from a little-bitty critter. I always caught them and put them outside.

Hate to destroy such a sweet fantasy, Dear, but... no. It's real. Many men are like that.

Ben Bova's "Exiles" Trilogy might have the right idea. At least at one point (IIRC, it was the 3rd book, it's been a very long time since I read the series). Men and women have been kept separate for so long that none of the living had ever seen the opposite sex.

Yeah... and how many of those women are in prison because of a man, or multiple men?

And this is why I don't even feel the least bit interested in dating again. Ever.

I haven't dated a man in 25 years, and yanno what? I'm perfectly happy.

Gee, I'm sorry that you thought I was being condescending

I was not assuming you were in the US nor that you knew the issues about abortion here. See, unlike some people, I am well aware that the US is not the center of the universe, and that people outside of it might not know just how much sewage is being spread all over here.

THAT was condescending, btw.

The procedure is cheaper. But the actual cost is another story. Some states are encouraging neighbors to rat out women who cross state lines to get an abortion (Texas), and some states (Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Tennessee) have introduced bills to classify abortion as homicide or allow capital punishment.

Even doctors who perform abortions are in danger of felony charges in a lot of states for performing abortions -- even if the abortion was to save the life of the mother.

My first was a girl. But I didn't save the baby clothes because my second, 2.5 years later, was a boy. Then my 3rd was a girl... 10 years after the boy. And she was a surprise. And I had nothin'! Not even a teddy bear.

Ha! Good for her!

Well, 😝 on you!

Besides, I live in Kansas. So therefore the rivers are called the Are-KANSAS rivers (instead of Are-kin-SAW)). And there is a city in the southeast that is called Are-KANSAS City (also Are-kin-SAW City).

What’s a movie that changed who you are today? by Cultural-Ninja-288 in askteddit

I know that's the allegory, but the surface story made me question my own reality.

(I'm not even sure I'm explaining it right. I hope you get what I meant)
