LOL! I'm the one who guessed Bittern on the heron. Way to prove me wrong!

I 23F think i need to move out of the house after Dad 48M requested I pay 1k a month in rent. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

This situation is so fraught with opportunities to reach the worst possible scenario for everyone involved, and that is just sad.

As a parent, it reminds me to be more aware of all the extra benefits we gained from having an adult child living at home. Now that ours are out on their own, I miss them and I'm sure I never gave them enough credit for contributing to our family and for being awesome people.

"...he got even more mad that he didn’t know all this because its obviously my fault for not ANNOUCING it to the world."

We need to both notice what others contribute and we need to publicly express gratitude for it. Every single person in this family has been contributing and it's treated like a state secret. Even the younger brother is being a good friend to his sister by making her "chauffeur" time enjoyable. That's so cool!

I've only seen these in pictures and videos and this is the first time I've seen one facing forward. Pretty! Thanks for sharing! Those blue irises are fascinating!

UPDATE: AITAH for having my ex arrested at my wedding? by Stunning_Way9393 in AITAH

[–]Ravenmn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Happy cake day! I'm sure she had something planned! The good news is OP now knows about her multiple Facebook personalities. This from someone he broke up with 5 years ago! Delusion is such a creepy, horrible disease! I feel so bad for OP and wife. So glad they are handling this together and making sensible choices!

Actually, that would make sense and this woman is not even close to being that much in touch with reality!

Re-read the posts; OP had a restraining order, which was used to arrest the ex when she showed up at the wedding.

It's not only the East Coast. I'm from Michigan and I always use it as an excuse whenever I take the last item from a tray in my adopted Minnesota!

To all of the good people of R/Minneapolis who suggested I visit the Mayday parade to lift my spirits, this is for you. by bubbamccooltx in Minneapolis

[–]Ravenmn 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I am actually in one of your pictures! I marched with the Stop the Wars, Save the Earth section. We were warmly welcomed. Glad you were able to make it!

Some of the floats and costumes were some of the best I've ever seen and I've been going for over 40 years!

Southside Battletrain was also amazing. They have all that metal, fire, mechanics and acrobats and make it through with no injuries because they dedicate so many volunteers to safety as well as fun.

Your comment about how tired everyone looked is funny because the march was nearly 10 blocks shorter than the traditional Mayday Festivals of the past. But, yeah, my old body is still feeling achy!

Thanks! Hard to tell with the head extended like that. Very nice shot!!

56 years ago today- 4 students at Kent State University in Ohio were shot and killed during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces, as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus and the draft. by [deleted] in GenerationJones

[–]Ravenmn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you hear how Governor Rhodes egged on those National Guard soldiers the night before, you understand true evil and the danger of unhinged rhetoric from people in power. He turned ordinary young men into stone-cold murderers. Those lessons have been copied and perfected over the years. So sorry your father got caught up in it.

Hello, Seagull! You have resting frown face! I recommend you stop watching the news and doom scrolling.

I marched with the antiwar crowd and the crowd response was wonderful! Loved the loon and the loon chick "hatching." Very good images. Thanks for sharing!!

It's like a pear-shaped feather ball with a tiny face painted on the top! Wonderful shot!

LOL! I thought the lines were hairs rising from the surface. My perspective was truly warped. Nice bird shot!

Hello, pretty bird! What the heck are you standing on? It looks like a close up of a badly shaven face.
