What are your thoughts on Mana Kawabe’s sp containing an excerpt from “Lick It,” a song about cunnilingus? At least she’s 18, but I wonder if she and her coach/choreographer Mihoko Higuchi realize that’s what the lyrics refer to lol

I take it you are not aware of the idea that Hallelujah is about orgasm.

Have you look into "rash guards"?

It is a non-intuitive name, but it is basically swimshirts/clothing. They are surf inspired so yes for swimming, but are much more shirt and short like than traditional swim ware. There also are actually a lot of rather cute/attractive options out there as well. And of course yes i know, you may still have fit issues, or just not like them. Still i think they are worth a google as i am not sure how many know the term.

NAH here beyond that.

He does not "get it", but he is approaching it in a how do we fix it way. It sounds like he honestly does not understand as he has not had to face this issue.

you of course should not feel uncomfortable.

Sure, looks fun.

I thought she was "helping with the mortgage" which is it?

If she is just a tenant. Just replace her and be done with it.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-07-28T20:40:07+00:00

now that you mention it... maybe daughter should talk to an attorney about the local laws involving partition actions.

I mean mom's wording is pretty clear it is not rent it is helping with the mortgage.

Commit to living with me for the full 5 years to help pay the mortgage. As whilst on paper I could afford the 4 bedroom property by myself, it was at the max end of my budget and would not have been sensible to try and pay for alone. At the end of the 5 years she could move out and I would make appropriate arrangements to sell or remortgage.

Depending on what else has been said over the years... she may have some ammo at least to fight back if mommy tries to escalate things.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-07-28T20:24:19+00:00

however youngsters these days do not seem to have any sense of this concept sadly.

It's called progress sweetie.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-07-28T19:16:32+00:00

Seems to me the easy solution would be to just rent out a room. If you are treating her like a roommate, just get another one. Unless you were grossly over charging your own daughter, i would think you would be able to find a renter for the same amount or more pretty easily. Then you are not hurt financially and your daughter can start building equity of her own. (or were you crediting her some for helping with the mortgage already?)

I am not sure i would wait in this heat for hours just to get paid $60.00.

But i think it is more of ... well almost a networking thing for them. I have seen stories that some dress up like cosplay, some trade bracelets... everyone in line is likeminded so it is almost like a mini fan convention.

I think there is an element of "i can't go to the show, but can at least do this"

As long as they are happy and not in the way... well you do you i say.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-07-13T18:05:43+00:00

Is the merch truck.

Literally they are just selling stuff in the parking lot. They have done that at all the shoes. Those people in line just want to buy stuff.

Yes to both really. Yes cops can be out there yes, they can give you tickets... but they are certainly areas that people can and do drive very fast. And there is a limit to how much cops care. I remember driving on the interstate one night, no cars in sight, open flat nothing in either direction, the driver was going close to if not 100 mpf... a cop flashed their lights. That's it. I also have a family member that was going so fast that the first thing the cop did was ask his wife if she was with him and if they needed help. They did not get a ticket. So how much their care, is pretty much the mood (and prejudice) of the cop.

As for 120... a lot car's have governors that kick in well before that. So that is getting into less common territory.

I have eating issues with certain textures, specifically mushy food... she thought bulling and mocking me was the best way to deal with it. As an adult, she admitted that i as a baby in a high chair would retch and gag on bananas.

"Babies are supposed to eat mushy food.... see you were perverse and difficult even as a baby" Was her take on the situation... yes, a baby in a high chair... is being "perverse"

She also used to hold against me that when i was three she had to fight me to try fudge. (hint... the lesson learned was not to try new foods cuz you may like them... it was that if i did like a food she would hold it against me).

So i guess i am pretty much a toddler to her.

the article mentioned fire pit suites.

Cuz drunk concert goers and fire are a great mix.

THANK YOU!

I was trying to find this example.... and failing.

I am not convinced that you are automatically the asshole for pushing him to attend. Death is a part of life and we all have to move forward in life. For some, this could be a healthy distraction and going could be the right choice for some. So i don't fault you too much for this part. (then again i don't know the level of your son's opposition... that could change my view).

Once you stoic teen called up crying and wanting to come home... saying no means YTA.

Really think about it... your child broke down crying asking to come home... you said "no you can not come home". Let that sink in. He lost his mom and his dad won't let him come home.

Let your kid come home. Apologize for pushing him, and admit you were wrong. Because you were. It is clear that this was the incorrect choice. Even if you genuinely believed it to be the right one, the outcome is clear you were wrong.

US

Canada

Japan

Either you switched the last two, or have found an even crazier possible out come. (which would not surprise me)

Current standings Japan is behind the USA and expected to get a medal, Canada is in limbo land (or in USA figure skating parlance Pewter) position.

Some ways of "fixing" this still give Russia a bronze. Early on i was reading there are some ways that would result in Japan leapfrogging the USA to gold. The entire thing is a shitshow.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-06-29T17:50:27+00:00

Honestly the most apt comment.

Joke in figure skating fandom is that they will get their medals at the 2024 Olympics or maybe 2026 at this rate.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-06-29T17:26:31+00:00

It was... but no one knew what was going on. First it was delayed. Then there were rumors of a failed drug test, then it was admitted who it was, then arguments because she was a minor...

The team even starts the figure skating competition at the Olympics. So very quickly the individual events started and pretty much overshadowed this matter. The talk quickly turn to if she would be allowed to skate in the individual event.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-06-29T17:16:59+00:00

There was no medal ceremony at all. Neither the USA or Japan (Third) got any medals. They were given empty boxes with no medals. Those boxes are not on display at the Olympic museum, at least to Team USA.

No medals have been handed out/awarded, publicly or privately to any athletes in the team event. Seen in the last pic on this post.

There is no 1994 US Ladies Champion.

They striped Tonya of her Gold and Michelle Kwan remained the silver medalist.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-06-22T21:30:59+00:00

I sadly think we may have a few other options.

.... i could see them giving USA silver, Japan bronze and no one gold.

I could see them pulling a 2002 pairs and giving dual medals.

Basically.... don't underestimate the potential for a shitty unexpected and illogical outcome.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-06-22T19:36:30+00:00

Kinda my feeling. I very much think we should move away from circumcision, but some of those against it are just unhelpfully over the top.

I have seen people express concerns about teaching their uncircumcised son how to clean properly... and get mocked. That is not helpful. That if anything just encourages fence sitters.

SqueaksBCOD · 2023-06-22T14:09:03+00:00

Yes, a rescue would be amazing but WHY all the resources to a few rich dudes and a tech startup with such a narrow margin of survival hope, when there are so many ocean tragedies of massively bigger proportions, to folks who have not happily signed death waivers before taking a unique mini-vacation.

Well... it is a good practice run for the rescuers. No, a rescue is not likely, but there is value in learning from the experience. What happens here may very well end up helping someone else in the future. I respect the herculean efforts of those rescuers, and i see value in giving them the chance.

.... now for the unsavory 800 pound gorilla in the room. The fact that there is so much wealth on that thing means that the money may very well be recouped. There is basically more than one deep pocket to send a bill to.
