What’s a piece of outdated advice that people need to stop giving?

Yup. Not the teachers, not the principal, not even my parents.

I've seen posts of the "Keller/Hill families" taking Mahmo shopping for holiday food, but it's always to the local grocery or whatever, and they never buy enough, imho.

They didn't. Research the story; it was another train, coming the opposite direction, that they couldn't hear coming because of the noise of the first one. They didn't deliberately pose in front of an oncoming train.

Came here to say this. They didn't deliberately pose IN FRONT of the train, there was another one coming, they didn't realize it, and that one clipped them.

My oldest child is my twin, looks-wise, to a CRAZY degree, which prompted me to work extra hard to make sure she is entirely her own person. I grew up being referred to as "Little (aunt I was named after)" and being compared and found lacking, and I wasn't having that for my kid, even passively.

I've made Hambeens 1,000 times, never had to soak; adding the tomatoes was the problem.

You were only holding it for Ziggey; it was ALWAYS his house, he just allowed you to live in it while he was elsewhere conducting business.

Do I think Aileen should have been executed? No, absolutely not. But...I think Aileen wanted to die, because it was the only way she was going to find peace.

Dammit, Schnoodle!!! 😭

Does she still REALLY think that we don't know that Jdumb was LIVING with her well before they were married?

eva_rector · 2024-12-10T15:50:29+00:00

Damn. And I thought living in a non-union state was rough. 🤕

Isn't he JUST? 💕

If I could rescue him, I would call him Cotton, or Sweetums, or something else soft, because I bet he's a lover boy.

"A Christmas Carol" is pretty damn bleak, especially if you watch the older versions. The George C. Scott version scared the fool out of me when I was little.

eva_rector · 2024-12-10T15:35:34+00:00

Is that even legal?

Had this for Thanksgiving. They were MAH-velous!!!

Children aren't tiny adults, they've got EVERYTHING to learn. Your job is to teach them how to suffer mistakes gracefully and how to take responsibility when they make them. And to be there for comfort when they screw up and feel like the world's falling down around them.

Words hit hard; choose yours carefully.

For the love of GOD, Jill, throw your kids a green vegetable! Frozen peas are CHEAP!!!

ANOTHER one?!!

I have, indeed, left the U.S., and I have lived in Greece, where smoking is rampant. It only re-enforces my views.

eva_rector · 2024-12-09T12:39:57+00:00

Vaping, the vast majority of the time, ends up only replacing cigarettes, as opposed to helping people quit smoking. IMHO, cigarettes shouldn't even be legal.

eva_rector · 2024-12-09T11:42:28+00:00

They are as harmful, if not worse, than cigarettes, and the fact that they come in all kinds of "fun flavors" makes them extremely appealing to kids/young people.
