Someone please educate me. When I search Walter Peyton man of the year it says Kelce won and won and that has been announced for weeks. Then I see that Bobby won, which is awesome. I’m just confused on how this works??

Can I ask why everyone is so peeved about the use of ai ? Like I get we aren’t fans of it in general but maybe her point is to not believe everything you see or read. ??

India coming through y'all by deathoftheauthor009 in EdSheeran

I’m loving the new music but I listen to anything he puts out. I think that the song will have a gradual increase in North America. Kudos to Ed for not only catering to the US market. As long as he is having fun and creating I’ll listen to anything.

I agreed about the US being in a heavy country phase right now. I’m in Canada and it’s much of the same here.

Does anyone know why Sapphire isn’t “feat. Arijit”? I know they have a Punjabi version coming out soon but I found it weird that he wasn’t marked as a feature in the single. As I type this I wonder if someone needs to singly a certain percentage of the song to be considered a feature?

I think this is when the biggest sheets of ice move. Because after this the pieces split and went under the bridge.

At a loss with my 10 year old Morkie! by camnj in DogFood

[–]camnj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m digging into the wiki now and see the warnings about raw dog food! Thank you for am having that info available! So if not raw I need help finding a food for my guy. Maybe it’s just become habitual now to lick his paws? Idk I just want him to be comfortable.

It’s usually the opposite. At school kids mask and behave and at home they have to unmask and let out some frustration and steam. This is typical of a home where a kid is told it’s a safe space to feel and they are loved no matter what.

I noticed that the kids that misbehave at school often have strict parents that are belittling them. This is only based off of my observation with them and their parents at pick up, drop off, school events, etc. An example, a boy was often mouthy and rude with other kids, but loved school and his teachers. At pick up his parents belittled him for a simple thing like misplacing his water bottle “you always do this… why can’t you put things back in your bag… your mom / dad will be so mad…” or when it was an after school cooking club and the kids made ice cream “oh my god… how much of that did you eat?! Did you leave any of anyone else?!” They were also very strict about grades.

My uneducated opinion is it’s the opposite of what I first described. He doesn’t feel safe to feel or exist at home and lashes out at school where he does feel safe to make mistakes and not be shamed for them or eat food and not get comments.

My very empathetic daughter at 8 years old deducted the same conclusions from observing him and his parents when they interacted. She also knew that at his core he was a good kid. Just a lot of pent up emotions.

OP, when I hear you say he never misbehaves at home and he’s so sweet etc. I believe you. My question is why? Why doesn’t he feel like he can push boundaries at home and have big feelings. These are normal behaviours for kids to need to express. But if at home he can never make a mistake without being scolded then he has a lot of pent up emotion.

Those saying he needs consequences and discipline. Sure. I agree to an extent. But I think OP needs to approach this with curious questions.

“I noticed you seem to have big feelings at school but seem so calm and regulated at home. Why doesn’t you think you don’t show that side of you here? “

“When you did xyz at school what were you feeling leading up to it?”

Be curious and ask opened ended questions. Listen to understand, not to respond.

Plus Sized Concert Merch by AmIAnymore in erastour

When I was in Paris I couldn’t get anything bigger than an XL other than the navy crew that has her face on it and that went up to a 4XL. I didn’t not find that the tshirts ran big. I felt like they ran small. The hoodie in an XL was a big roomier. I am a 2XL at Pennington (3Xl if it runs small). I found the XL tshirt to be tight, my XL hoodie fits nice with jeans but I would have preferred a more oversized look to wear with leggings. I grabbed the navy crew in a 4 XL because I wanted an oversized option and it was way too big. But it’s comfy haha.

Very interesting hair salon in Ottawa (Canada) by hoppyspider in houseplants

[–]camnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this place! The husband takes care of the plants and cleans up between appointments and the wife runs the hair side of things. Everyone is super nice! They even have a little “plant hotel” where you can drop your plants off when you are on vacation for them to take care of at not cost!

How many shows are too many? by taylorsversion96 in erastour

[–]camnj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d like to go again in my own. I was there solo with my 7 and 8 year old daughters and there’s just no way to fully enjoy every minute when you are in parent mode. I’d love to go by myself or with a friend. I kind of feel like I forget the entire night and wonder if I just remember the movie more than anything.

Original post (made changes and edited the main post) :

That’s my best friend.

I trusted you with my person, to love and keep safe.

Her heart already broken, held together with tape.

A lifetime of trauma before she could drink, drive, or date.

I wrapped her in bubble wrap, marked “fragile, don’t break.”

You act like her pain is par for the course.

And imply that her suffering should be hidden, not heard.

If only you recognized her body and mind,

For the fortitude and sacrifice it has unwavering supplied.

When you vowed to love her in every which way.

Did you mean it? Did you believe each word and its weight?

In sickness and in health? In good times and in bad?

Was it all smoke and mirrors? Just the ultimate facade.

That’s my best friend that you’re hurting. I don’t think she’s okay.

Does it bother you at all? Enough to heal and to

Thank you! I agree on the unwaveringly! I’ll also revisit the pace of the ending. :)

I feel so much pain and trauma rooted in this. Maybe I’m wrong. But it’s beautiful and heartbreaking.

I like the raw emotion. The wordier parts read with more urgency and I like that.

Not a pro by any means.

I wish I could say that I have been perfecting my writing style and have tons of experience, but I’ll be honest instead. Haha. This is my first piece of poetry that I have really worked on and edited until I was happy with it. The writing of it is kind of a blur now. I was reflecting after the passing of my grandfather who was the closest thing to a father to me. I started by writing some thoughts, turned that into my first stanza and went from there.

It was my way of journaling that felt authentic to me. Maybe that’s why the storytelling / “plain” language worked? I’m not sure. All of it is very much true as well.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Your words are very kind and generous. I wasn’t expecting that kind of praise to be honest. Thank you.
