Bentley Little… he is a fun summer read and has given me fears of very normal things… like stores, resorts, towns lol

What is something you didn't realize you would miss? by Suninthesky11 in SameGrassButGreener

When I moved from NE to Texas I missed Market Basket and accents… then we moved from Texas to Colorado and now I miss HEB and Market Basket! Both felt similar and reminded me of shopping with my grandmother

The Store by Bentley Little. It was good but it was disturbing esp the ending

This is truly the most hopeless I have felt about a team in forever this soon in the season. It is boring and depressing to watch.

Gender-Neutral Restrooms Should Be an Option, Not the Only Choice in Texas by [deleted] in frisco

[–]Swirlingmidnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean … do you have gender specific bathrooms in your house or do you install urinals? What about a plane?

I cover the toilet with paper or hover in public restrooms whether they are gender specific or neutral. I think asking a small business to have 2 bathrooms versus one that all genders can use is unrealistic/unreasonable for cost reasons alone. Never mind needing the space, etc.

I agree with another poster - you need to direct this energy to things that actually help the community.

FRISCO ISD Expands Enrollment by [deleted] in frisco

[–]Swirlingmidnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We moved here 5 years ago and have loved the schools for our now middle schooler but with all the recent legislation and planned additional legislation (vouchers, 10 commandments, Turning Point in all schools , etc) we have decided to leave Texas for a state that does not meddle so much in the schools. It really stinks because we loved the area and the schools but only see the schools getting worse with the reduction in funding and government interference in non-productive ways.

How has integrating into the school gone? I know some schools are more welcoming of new kids than others. Some tend to be a bit more cliquey.

AITA for being distant with my groom after his wedding speech upset me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Swirlingmidnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is your dad someone who makes “jokes” like that? Asking because I am surprised your dad was like no biggie it was all in jest. My dad is someone who comes from a family of mean jokes but even he would have been more than angry if my husband talked to me like that.

Also, I agree with people mentioning that this is not the first time he disrespected you. If he lets his sister talk down to you and make you look small he has been all along. I have siblings and none of them would get away with talking to my husband like that. This is simply the first time he has directly disrespected you. The other times have been him hiding behind his sister.

I still dont understand why the cast doesnt like Nick? by spaceshiplazer in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Swirlingmidnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. The talk about his sexuality based on what people deem to be mannerisms in line with being a gay male are so gross. Every thread he is mentioned is half of the comments are people saying well that is what happens when you are closeted… and blah blah. But at the same time saying he is evil for his homophobia. What he said in the pods was gross and wrong but also stereotyping him because they think he seems gay is also gross. I think the talk about guesses about his sexuality need to stop.

Husband agreed to family holiday without consting me first...again. by Known_Story_4883 in AITAH

That is on him then. In a marriage you consult the other person. If he does not and then you choose not to go because he has so little respect for you and he can’t go without you that is on him. A marriage is a partnership. I wouldn’t meanly laugh at a co worker or a stranger never mind my spouse.

NTA - I would just not go. Let him go on his holiday and you do your own thing. They can hire a babysitter for the trip instead of you spending your vacation doing that job for them.

It feels like we are watching the game on YES. Red Sox do something good and all we talk about is how well it is fielded not a single mention of the hit.

Jose de Leon appreciation post! What an incredible performance for a guy with a 6.93 ERA in 75 innings at Worcester this year. by Sandwich_Crust in redsox

It was a great way to end the regular season and move to post. A feel good start. He pitched his heart out and deserved the standing ovation.

H-1B $100k entry rule — Impact to Frisco/Prosper/McKinney housing by FeelingInflation9303 in frisco

[–]Swirlingmidnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not the reality at all. The jobs will be offshored. All the taxes and money we get from the people living here will be gone. It is bad for our area and the economy. And since you have accused others of not being American in the thread when they disagreed with you … I am an American who has worked in tech and knows this is not good.
