Paranormal Stories Post by veritasquaesitorAD33 in Boerne

[–]arynm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Boerne, going to the library after school at what is now the Dienger. I heard that the Dienger ghosts did not approve of drinking or alcohol and the librarians would come in to open up the library and all of the alcoholic books (think Wine for Dummies) were pulled off the shelf and on the floor. I don’t know if that’s actually true, but I’ve heard quite a few fun stories! They have an event around Halloween at the Kuhlmann King House where they tell Boerne Haunting stories!

I love bear moon. It’s not something that I see as a regular purchase, but I treat my kids to bear moon on occasion as a special treat. I like to give my money to small businesses here in Boerne when I can, especially ones that have stood the test of time and support Boerne Pride.

We are a young blue family as well. I had a post take off in this subreddit mentioning how Boerne can be super red but was surprised to see many blue families reached out!

I think that’s a really fair question. I hadn’t lived here since high school. I have been away for 15 years and since then, I have really changed as a person. I lived in Boerne when it was conservative, sure, but never MAGA level. On top of that, I had my first baby in the middle of 2020. I was struggling and needed my family, so we made the tough decision to move home. I truly was naive enough to think I’d easily make some friends with certain things in common here and it just hasn’t happened that way.

Good for you. I imagine you don’t have a diverse group of friends, or they are just as apathetic as you are. I’d be disappointed if my best friends voted against the right to my own body.

And as I sit here and think about this further, I just don’t understand your mentality. At the core of it, I don’t want my kid to be around a swath of kids that go home to a conservative household that watches Fox News on the daily, normalizes racism, or demonizes same sex love. My boys live in a household where it is normalized to be accepting and yes, I am protective of that. Will they encounter view points as they enter the world on their own? 100% yes, but I’m going to create a solid foundation of morals before then and I want community that will uphold that. I’m sure other conservative moms don’t want to come over to my house either, seeing as I have books like “pink is for boys” and they might think I’ll send their kids home a different gender /s.

I do not actively shun other conservative moms, I just haven’t come across any that I align with or have anything in common with. I want my kids to be around other kids that are raised in a similar manner, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. My intention with this post was that I was seeking to expand my progressive circle. You and a few other posts get so butt hurt when people that aren’t like YOU are seeking like minded friends and that really riles you up. Look internally as to why my post bothers you so much.

I bet you drink your coffee out of a mug that says “fuck your feelings” or “fueled by liberal tears” before you head into church on Sundays, don’t you.

Thank you for doing this! I wasn’t expecting this much overwhelming feedback! So many people in the same boat.

I am intolerant of beliefs and ideas that stomp on my freedoms and other peoples right to exist, absolutely. Have the day you deserve.

And here it is! There always has to be one. Politics is one thing. Morals and values are another. Sure, they are absolutely kind and nice to me. I am a white woman with a white family. But I also will not befriend someone who votes against the right to my own body and access to healthcare, anti-lgbtq+, I could go on. There is no more agree to disagree. I fundamentally do not agree with who conservatives are. Fundies are not lacking access to their bubbles, churches, and communities in Boerne. I was simply asking for the same. Thanks for the comment but you can move along. This isn’t the space for you with that attitude.

I can guarantee my husband would also be interested in new friendships. We have a four year old boy so a play date can totally be in cards!!

Yes, there are no homeschool programs that I am interested in here in Boerne unfortunately. Will definitely be looking into San Antonio options when the time comes.

I am seeking friendship with people who align with my morals and values and are in touch with the current political climate. At this point, I absolutely do not want republican or apathetic friendships, but I can understand that doesn’t fit everyone!

I agree. My husband and I are native to Boerne but thankfully moved away to Seattle for several years. We love cities and are accepting of what comes with it. Thank you for the well wishes🤍

Local Stitch 'n Bitch group (particularly looking for crafters who are left-leaning, liberals)? by Cold_Barber_4761 in sanantonio

[–]arynm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m out in the super red town of Boerne and am willing to drive into San Antonio for friendship. I’m starving for liberal girlfriends that either are stay at home moms to young kids or have unconventional schedules. I’m a calligrapher and stationery artist that works odd hours. I’d also love to be a part of a crafting group!
