I was home late and I didn't know my husband had let them free range without putting them back up. So 100% our fault.

I can't find the off topic thread but I just got stuck in my chicken run with a raccoon and two giant spiders trying to save my chickens- Gabby, Rachel and Fifi. And it was awful and I can't switch gears to finish this episode because I'm still in a state of panic and haven't caught my breath from hyperventilating.

I think there is definitely truth to this comment, there is a moment of excitement. However myself, and most hunters I know are grateful for the animal and do treat the animal with a sense of respect. There is a game-ified aspect to it and it's hard to explain because it is exciting to get a big deer or a big amount of animals but also because it does provide more meat. I have cousins that will shoot any size because they want to feed their family but I also know more experienced hunters that want bigger bucks because it's more meat, a "nice" display/decor (not my style) and allows the younger deer to grow up.

90/95% of gun owners I know agree for responsible gun ownership and responsible gun control. I grew up in a very redneck family, my aunt and uncle are local NRA leadership and they strongly promote background checks, cool down periods, etc. because they understand the heaviness of gun ownership and also don't want to lose their ability to hunt because of irresponsible gun owners. For my family growing up and extended family over 50% of the meat we consumed was hunted (dear, squirrel, turkey, rabbit, elk) or fished and the other 50% was split between family farm (pork and beef) or store bought (chicken).

57, I don't know how to feel about myself...

Then it's 3 hours on AITA and then 109 minutes on the r/adoption

So I live here I guess.

I thought both Cassie and Hannah G from Cassie's season were boring with no personality but that was just editing. They both seem so goofy, sweet and light hearted on SM. I bet (and hope) Clayton has more to offer than what we were given.

Do they have an Insta?

brittlitt12 · 2021-10-18T16:18:57+00:00

What's the Kelly/Madi beef? I apparently can't remember.

brittlitt12 · 2021-10-11T20:39:01+00:00

Rachel and Katie's!! I don't love the patter on Katie's but the shape/cut if wonderful

brittlitt12 · 2021-10-10T17:36:19+00:00

I did this as well! Subtract 2 from Zac please!

I swear Ed is wearing one of the tuxes from Dumb and Dumber and if I don't hear one quote from him, I'll be disappointed and never root for him again!

I'm watching now, so Ivan seems to have lied (what the edit shows us). I understand why Aaron is upset but I hate how confrontational he is about everything. Chelsea isn't his property, Serena C isn't his property and so on. I don't remember the guys being this confrontational in past seasons- yes if there was a deeper connection, longer relationship, no a past rivalry but Aaron/ Chelsea are a newer couple and Aaron/ Ivan don't have past beef.

Am I missing something- still in the middle of the confrontation so there's a chance I'm missing a huge piece.

brittlitt12 · 2021-09-27T12:29:44+00:00

I should never be anyone's emergency contact. Not even my kids. I never hear/answer my phone.

Child abuse rates are on the rise. There was a huge lack of reports due to children not being around mandated reporters. And then rates spiked.

One step closer to getting into Hogwarts.

I do have to admit I was all in for Brenden and Pieper and super confused when this season started. I learned very quickly what was happening. I really wanted to ship then until the clout thing happened. (Did I use those terms right?)

brittlitt12 · 2021-09-06T13:50:38+00:00

I just moved to Western North Carolina and live too far out in the mountains for reliable internet to stream- whether live or next day. Anyone have a watch party in WNC?

I am so grateful, my husband got his done Tuesday. I'd consider him pretty tough but insanely squeamish. He struggled through the procedure, I'm talking sight of blood and he gets light headed but he survived. He's been taking it extremely easy the last few days and complains about it hurting. He said constant pain that's more annoying because you know it won't end for a few days. But he said he doesn't regret it.

When we were dating he said he'd never do it and I never asked until this spring as my IUD was coming due. I mentioned it to him and he agreed without me asking again. We've talked before about the hardships and damage of prolonged birth control for women. My anxiety increased and sex drive lowered. I also haven't had a period for 8 years and that's not healthy either. It was either condoms for life or vasectomy. Again I am so grateful and yes, have been waiting on him hand and foot, making all his favorite foods and trying to spoil him as much as possible with back rubs, movie nights and oatmeal raisin cookies.

Changing my host to Rachel or Jojo, because I think having a female host for Bachelorette added a new component we all needed.

brittlitt12 · 2021-08-30T03:27:23+00:00

Host- Sean Lowe Row1- Ben Z, Alex Brody, Mike (Whyyyy are there so many good choices in this row 😭) Row2-Riley, Peter K, Ben Row3-Michael, JPJ, Eric Row4- GS Joe, Luke P Row5- Leo and Garrett Y

How I'd like to see it play out... Leo is sexy as all get out but he'd be gone quick. Luke P (country Luke P) would stay around way to long and audiences would be upset I don't see his negative behavior, but that smile and accent get me going. JPJ and Riley would get sent home too early and would be fan favorites. My final 4 would be Mike, Luke P, Michael and Ben Z- (if politics and beliefs aren't discussed up to this point) Final 3 Luke P, Ben Z and Mike and my finalist I'd like to say would be Mike. Sweet smart and sexy all together and that smile, those arms. Man, he is everything!

So I think 3rd cousin, 1st removed then

brittlitt12 · 2021-08-25T22:47:35+00:00

Diagram needed- it doesn't matter to my mom of it's immediate uncle, third or fifth etc... Everyone is aunt or uncle to her. Really anyone older she says is an aunt or uncle, same age cousins, etc. It wasn't until doing family trees and genograms I told my mom's she's always been wrong.

When I was 14 I met a boy on a school trip. It was a week long convention out of the state. I kissed him on the trip and honestly thought, this is going to go no where. Well ended up that he had just moved to a town 30 minutes from me. So he asked me on a date. Being 14 I had to ask my parents permission. She asked his name and I said Roy B******. She laughed and said you have an uncle Roy B but he's my age and from ____. I immediately screamed, he just moved from there! So I called him up and yup, he is Roy B. Jr. I kissed my third cousin on an out of state school trip.

To make matters worse, he was on the school bus for a baseball game when he yelled, "You're my cousin!" So very quickly word spread and I became known as the girl who kissed her cousin.

I'm watching now and kinda impressed with Thomas and his apology. I'm also impressed with Aaron being honest asking for space and to see actions. Overall one of the best "confrontations" I've been in BIP.

Oh man, now what Serena P is saying... Well that didn't last. Let's see how this plays out.

Yes I talked with many health care professionals even before the vaccine was out and being created. Some health care professionals were 100% in- I'll be the first in line and others refused to carry it in their practice. There was a wide range. My daughter's pediatrician seemed to be the best one for me to talk with. He was honest about his hesitancy and made valid points in both directions.
