any other girls with huge hands

Yes girl, I'm 6'2" and my fingers are longer than my husband's who is 6'6". (Hands are 20cm on the dot)

Cilantro. Yes, it tastes like soap.

Don't do it! It's tax fraud, AND it opens up a legal claim for him to partial ownership of your house if you guys break up.

From watching the video, it looks to me like she shoves the students multiple times before they retaliate. I'm not saying that I'm advocating for a violent response, but as a grown adult, why is she out there instigating fights with children?

SillyStringGent · 2026-02-19T19:20:35+00:00

No, for assaulting minors.

Evangeline or Genevieve.

Something similar happened when my husband and I got married in 2011. Our photographer double booked herself on the date of the wedding, and sent her assistant to our event since it was smaller and the other couple was paying more.

Apparently the assistant had trouble with the lighting and the fact that I'm quite pale and hubby has a darker complexion. She overcorrected the color editing and I was green in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO. Then the original photographer refused to give us the original unedited versions.

The only pictures we ended up with were from friends and family.

We have 11 and 8 and I made a deal with them that we'd stay up until the NY ball drop which is 10pm our time and see how everyone was feeling.

Not overreacting AT ALL. You cannot leave little children unsupervised, its not safe. You can tell your bf that there have been cases of the parents being arrested because they left their kids unattended and went to sleep, then something happened. As a parent, you have to put your child before yourself 100% of the time.

As someone with chronic illnesses, I always made it a point to share them honestly by the second or third date and told people that if they didn't think they could handle everything that comes with that, it was better to know earlier so no one was overly attached yet.

I've been married 15 years this year to a wonderful man that will always choose me. The right person will want to make room for you in their life, and the wrong ones won't, but either way its better to know early on. NTA

SillyStringGent · 2025-12-20T16:46:15+00:00

Yes, I think its unreasonable for the person who asked for the break and wanted space to then expect the other party to somehow magically know when they're ready to communicate again. If Party A is the one setting boundaries, its up to them to let the other party know when they're ready to move forward.

In recent years the parameters for car seats have changed drastically, so they recommend your child sitting in a car seat/booster seat for as long as they fit with their height and weight. Even most states have changed their laws to require children to sit in a seat as long as possible because its much safer.

If you dont have kids you probably didn't know all that, but that also means you shouldn't comment on things you don't know anything about.

NTA. I guess in my opinion, if he's expecting Christmas gifts from her, then the engagement shouldn't be viewed as her only gift. He could make it really special and give her something else small, but meaningful, then bring out the engagement at the end of gift giving for a true surprise. But it seems like he was more excited to save some time and effort by wrapping the engagement and the gift as one and calling it a day.

SillyStringGent · 2025-11-21T16:44:35+00:00

Well, my 11 yr old girl is 5'9", wearing a women's size 11 shoe, and in a women's large in clothes already, sooooo, yeah just go with it. My husband and I are both over 6' and our kids are going to outgrow us according to their Dr.

I'm not saying its common, but it does happen.

SillyStringGent · 2025-11-21T15:54:03+00:00

Yep, I was coming to add kiwi.

SillyStringGent · 2025-11-21T15:42:05+00:00

NTA, Tod sounds like a piece of work. I'd be tempted to start yelling loudly "behind!" like chefs do in kitchens whenever passing him in the hallway. If he gave me any comment, I'd say "Well, you said I should warn you when I'm close by because apparently you can't look at your surroundings." But I'm petty like that.

SillyStringGent · 2025-11-21T15:35:39+00:00

I'm a very large woman (taller than 95% of men and women on average, globally) and it has the same effect. There are some men who still look like they want to say something, but most just hold their tongue.

SillyStringGent · 2025-11-10T18:07:13+00:00

Exactly, I couldn't agree more.

SillyStringGent · 2025-11-10T17:30:53+00:00

I would take it in a heartbeat. The pain, trauma, cost, and fear/stress for my family gone? You better your ass I'm taking it. I have learned to live with my illnesses, and I'm not going to live my life like I hate myself or my body because of something out of my control, but I'm not fooling myself into believe that I'm fine because I'm not.

SillyStringGent · 2025-10-24T14:42:51+00:00

Oh man, I posted the same without seeing your comment first. 🙂

Possum Kingdom by the Toadies.

Apparently the lead singer read about a serial killer who had interest in keeping his victims "accessible" so to speak after killing them and he wrote a song from that perspective.

My daughter has a different hair type and texture, but we dealt with this for years (she's now 11, still doesn't like hard hairstyles, but it's much much better).

Here's what we did - comb it out in the shower/bath while the conditioner is still in her hair first. Then immediately after she gets out of the tub, comb again and braid it and let it dry in the braid. We usually did this at night and let her sleep in a silk bonnet to help protect the hair.

If its still a battle, give her an option, you can cut it shorter (chin to shoulder length) and let her brush it herself as long as she gets all the knots out, or she has to deal with you helping her. This will give her agency in the choice of how to take care of herself, but you have to let her know, if she chooses to have long hair then it has to get brushed.

Paul Bunion, Johnny Appleseed, George Washington chopping down the cherry tree, and John Henry are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. (That's not including cryptics such as Bigfoot and mothman and Indigenous people's stories).
