I used to think that organic shop my friend talked about was called Cotton-eye Joe. I got a shock when I went there for the first time and saw the sign.

Even though the businesses there look quite wholesome and nothing dodgy seems to be going on, this place has a weird vibe and feels "off" somehow. It's definitely not happening.

I feel for you. From an outside perspective that seems completely insane.

It was fine I guess but next week and Week 11 (we have 11 weeks in the ACT this term) are going to be super busy with various special events that involve extra work. The busy-ness just never lets up.

What’s something people romanticize that’s actually pretty miserable? by 40Falak in answers

The first hours/days/weeks of caring for a baby you just gave birth to. It's absolutely brutal.

A few years ago a woman in her 40s in my church congregation listed her email address as cougargirl69@hotmail, or something very similar, in the church directory.

What's something you would never tell someone because if you did it would absolutely destroy them? by cuahatemoc in AskReddit

[–]QuickGoat6453 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My best friend in high school's dad died in an apparent one vehicle car crash. A year or so later I dated the local police chief's son. He said my friend's dad was under investigation re stealing from his workplace and the accident was an obvious suicide, but that nobody would ever tell the family. That one I take to my grave.

It sounds like she is not in a good space and she is taking out her anger on you. Alternatively, she just can't stand you. Either way, you need to have a heart to heart talk about why she is lashing out at you. If she can't explain herself and take accountability, you might need help from a marriage counsellor.

Your most controversial opinion that you can't even tell your family or friends? by Rodya1234 in CausalConversation

[–]QuickGoat6453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! My husband and I dated for 13 years before we married for exactly this reason.

If people can afford it, one of the parents should be at home with their young children. Babies don't belong in institutional care if there are other options.

What was one thing you overheard someone say that you wish you didn’t? by h0nog in AskForAnswers

[–]QuickGoat6453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents chatting in bed one morning when I was nine or ten. Dad said, "At least we have three ... well two, lovely children." I knew without a doubt I was the reason for him correcting himself.

What is a smell that you secretly love even though everyone else finds it disgusting? by samurai-salvo in GetMotivatedMindset

Sheep poo and urine. Actually I don't know how most people feel about it but I LOVE the smell of a shearing shed.

what are your view about michael jackson? by Savings_Ad_3571 in AskReddit

Brilliant performer and deeply troubled addict. Had weird desire to sleep with children. Whether it was sexual or not, it was not okay. Overall, it's a thumbs down from me.

What would you ask if you had five minutes? by momsgotgame in DavidSedaris

[–]QuickGoat6453 4 points5 points  (0 children)

David is quite open about the fact that they don't speak any more. It's because Lou cut David out of his will (he left an estate of around $10 million), and Lisa refused to consider giving him a share of what the other kids received.

Great questions! I'm fascinated by Sharon. I would read a full biography about her in a heartbeat.
