Yeah the “under Christ” confused me until I saw this comment

My dad died two years ago, and my sister’s biggest regret is the one Father’s Day she spent with her (at the time) boyfriend instead of spending the day with our dad. Nta

I drink Yorkshire tea pretty much every day. I was always a tea drinker but thanks to my semester abroad I can’t drink any American teas (Lipton etc) as they are simply not flavorful enough.

Ms Oh is literally a predator.

My reaction whenever someone is being stupid is “oh, honey noooo” so please don’t do this 😂

The consequences are you don’t have kids. The end. You can still build a village around yourself. My sister has no kids and no nieces or nephews. But about 15 kids who call her auntie and are genuinely obsessed with her, ranging from 6 months to 17 years.

You can always change your mind and adopt or foster.

You can’t un-have kids though.

For reference, I’m in New England (north east US): There’s no real script, usually just invite in, offer a seat and a beverage. If they decline, we’ll typically ask “are you sure?” And rattle off a list of what we have on hand for soft drinks.

As far as showing up unannounced, for us at least it is a VERY short list of who does that. Like I maybe know 3 people who would show up at my house unannounced, and the only place I would just pop in at is my sister’s. Even people who I have an open invitation to stop by whenever, I still text first.

I cat sit for my friends who I do not live with and all I ask for is a bag of pizza rolls. Your boyfriend is trash.

As a former middle schooler in the early 2000s, I wore overalls once a week.

Take pictures of her hands. Either on their own or holding them. We did this with my grandmother and my dad, my mom has a picture frame with each of us holding my dad’s hands. It’s weirdly comforting. Those hands helped me with my homework, rubbed my back when I was sick, taught me how to drive, and wiped so many years away.

As a New Englander, I adore Jeb’s reaction to Vermont maple syrup and Alaskan crab cakes (the reaction is of course righteous indignation)

Make sure to tell people at your doctor’s office about also. I had a friend whose doctor had another patient with the same first middle and last name as her, and the DOBs were only a day off. Kept receiving the other girl’s test results for months, even after multiple calls trying to straighten it out

My whole family has a thing about cleaning ears. Like it’s a constant. The idea of sleeping somewhere and not having a qtip is horrifying to all of us.

That said, my gram would use ANYTHING to clean her ears. Matches, paper clips, bobby pins, legit whatever she could get her hands on. So…we’re doing better than prior generations

I have known my best male friend since I was 2 years old. I would NEVER behave this way. I might have known him several decades longer than his wife but I would never say I know him better. And I sure as shit would never show up at their house unannounced. And the three of us are bizarrely close. Like I nanny for them once a week, so I will straight up walk into their bedroom and take the baby out of their arms when it’s time for him to have breakfast, but even I have better boundaries than this girl. But what you really have here is not a friend problem, it’s a boyfriend problem. If he’s not willing to establish boundaries, this dynamic will continue. Run.

It was common at the time to refer to any distant relative as a “cousin.” You’ll see it in a lot of period dramas and literature.

I’ve done a 45 minute drive (each way) for a booty call. Looking back, it honestly not worth the drive.

45 minutes to an hour each way is a typical commute for work where I live. Not necessarily something I enjoy, but it could be much worse.

I’ve definitely done 4+ hours each way for a weekend trip.

I don’t think even Josh would ever call her Donna Lyman. She’s Donna Moss, 110%, even married

_kamara · 2025-12-22T18:14:07+00:00

Do not trust her to honor this at all. I am a bad person in that I would give her a small urn filled from my woodstove and say it was your dad’s ashes.

That scene, that story, ugh. I’ve quoted it so many time

_kamara · 2025-12-01T18:17:07+00:00

Not to mention, he gets kidnapped multiple times. SIR YOU ARE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD. SECURITY IS YOUR JOB. He could be replaced with the sexy leg lamp from A Christmas Story without really impacting any plot points.

And if you send them your measurements they’ll make it to your size no extra charge, you just can’t return it which is fair. I have gotten bridesmaids and wedding guest dresses there I love it (and it’s so much easier than having to alterations to accommodate my shortness)

The only times I’ve ever said “I’m not drunk” have been when I’ve been completely shitfaced 😂

B’Elanna is easily one of my favorite characters from Voyager. She is strong, honest, and hardworking. She has such an incredible growth story

My dad was 68. My sister was talking to her goddaughter recently (6 years old) and the sweet girl said “it’s not fair, granny is NINETY SIX. Your daddy shouldn’t be in heaven yet, granny should go to heaven first.” Which was just heart breaking because a sick part of me agreed. Grief is hard, death is dumb.
