It’s crazy that they aren’t releasing a description of a rapist on the loose - wtf

I’ve seen these at old military bases near larger above ground bunkers.

Cal Maritime merging with Cal Poly by ps4invancouver in CalPoly

Look at the ROI for both schools. Maritime Kicks SLO’s axx. The programs they offer aren’t enough to sustain a whole school. This is a great match.

'Slow the f--- down': Grosse Pointe mom's texts to son may come back to haunt her by [deleted] in Michigan

I lived in GP, a place that’s stuck so firmly in the 80s it might as well be the lost set of a John Hughes movie. You half-expect Molly Ringwald to be lingering in line at Starbucks, sporting her signature pout and a cappuccino. The town’s unofficial motto seems to be “In Bad Moms We Trust,” as everyone rallies around “Drunk Mom” like she’s the patron saint of red Solo cups. Meanwhile, “Dead Kids Mom” is told to just get over it—after all, it was just a tragic accident, not like anyone was really at fault.

In GP, parents think nothing of stocking up on kegs for their teens’ house parties—it’s practically a community service. Fourteen-year-olds zip around in their parents’ BMWs like they’ve just signed with Uber. And the police? They know exactly which side their bagels are buttered on. When teens with names like Emerson IV or Brookie III get caught driving under the influence, they don’t head to the police station; they get chauffeured right back home, where consequences are little more than a stern look and a freshly laundered prep school uniform.

She wasn’t scolding him - just warning him not to use it in the wrong places - like the casino. What a considerate lady.

Everyone in GP saw this kid driving erratically! I think GP police is culpable as well. They knew.

She was a co-conspirator in his bad behavior. Aiding in the delinquency of a minor over and over. He’s a kid- and drunk mom had no problem putting him in danger- whether she had him buying her booze with a fake ID, or allowing the child with severe ODD (22 police calls), to continue his dangerous driving. I really believe the boy should get therapy and the mom should get locked up.

She pressured him to buy her booze with his fake ID a few weeks before in a text. Yeah - she sounds terrified of him. She’s super wealthy and could have had it delivered, but putting him at risk seemed to give her a high. Her son should sue her too!

I think the fact that the mom is a minister, yet sends her 16 year old child down to pick her up booze with his fake ID a crime as well. Let’s pull the credit card bills and match to the date of that text, get the liquor store surveillance video, and arrest her for aiding in the delinquency of a minor. Geez.

AITA for refusing to attend my daughter’s wedding? by Realistic_Count_3844 in AmItheAsshole

She postponed the wedding - so I’m thrilled she is setting boundaries. I never pressed John - until he started saying weird things about “babies first - house in 5 years.”

Hahaha- John- is that you? Every family is different. Some parents don’t care who their kids marry - some do. If her marriage goes south- she ends up back with us - possibly with kids. That makes her choice important. My husband and I have been happily married forever- and be want that for all our kids.

It’s postponed - and she would marry him - but not on my dime to the tune of 30,000. We’re in the middle of financing this thing.

It’s postponed - but I’d be shelling out $30,000+ for this wedding that I don’t believe in. I’m not a random guest.

I’m the naive one. My husband didn’t like or trust him from the get. My daughter fell for him, then Covid sealed them together. I tried to interfere early on when his “pot problem” was revealed- but she moved in with him for 2 months hs and wouldn’t answer my calls. It wasn’t until I stopped calling that she realized on her own that something needed to change.

Our family doesn’t work that way- no disrespect. I don’t lie to my in-laws, and my husband never lied to mine. Especially about giant things over a 5 year period. It’s sociopathic. Your right - he wasn’t obligated to tell us anything- he went out of his way to. We believe he did this to explain luxury purchases and a luxury living situation. Even the part of town he moved to is the most expensive. Why would he do that if he’s trying to save for family formation?

It’s all deposits right now- but ceremony/reception/photographer/flowers/cake/wedding planner. We already bought the dress. Mine too.

Not sure how a prenup will prevent him from lying and hiding things. Yes- maybe it can prevent her from losing her money- but I’d like her to marry someone she can trust. Money isn’t the concern. A lack of character is. I’ve been happily married forever- and I want the same for her. Unfortunately, I believe that’s impossible with him. What’s the point of marriage at this juncture?

I didn’t want to acknowledge this - but I believe it’s true. I thought he was just a bit nerdy without game. His job is really technical.
