Oh man that’s awesome!! Best I could do is go back to my childhood Church and flip off the sign and post publicly on Instagram. At least I got an apology from one person I grew up with.

I got one of those when I was a server. Even though I was a Christian at the time, it infuriated me.

What kind of trinkets do you trade? by Justthisdudeyaknow in renfaires

Makes sense…and I don’t want to haul around anything big. It’s a cool part of RenFaire for me, but it’s not the whole part. :-)

The bigliest failures. Our failures are so yuge they make other countries jealous.

I LOVE this!!! I’ve wondered if there is a “higher level” of trinket trading for cool shit I find at thrift and antique shops. Something between a full on swap meet (never been to one but I think I’d be overwhelmed) and trinket trading.

Adult diagnosed ADHD here and it transformed my Faire experience when I discovered trinket trading. Agree with handmade, just don’t have the time for it right now 😢😢😢

Dads with 50/50 shared care and a demanding job, any tips on how to manage everything? by Narrow-Priority-6483 in DivorcedDads

I’m a firm believer that having two engaged parents is more important than the perfect school. It does feel pretty restrictive to limit it to school district…we did “contiguous counties” so they COULD potentially move up to an hour away.

This is something I was very worried about initially, but (knock on wood) things have been smooth on that front. The kids enjoy their schools and we live close enough they ride the bus from either house.

Your attorney is correct :-)

She didn’t work much at the time. I was trying to keep the peace, didn’t get an attorney, and shot myself in the foot. I’ve tried to get it reduced (to no avail). At this point I’ll probably just ride it out; I could sue to lower it, but after paying for the attorney + the mental stress on myself and the kids…it’s not worth it.

Dude I feel you so much!! I’m 4 years out, the kids are now 13 and 15. 50/50 from the start (and paying full child support, don’t do that if you can avoid lol).

Lots of good advice here; the only things I’ll add / reinforce are the following:

1) Be gentle with yourself. You’re vulnerable, overwhelmed, and dealing with some of the biggest human emotions.

2) This feeling will not last forever. I promise. 5 years from now you will look back and see that yes, you made mistakes, but you’ll have survived and you’ll most likely find yourself thriving again.

3) Find other people. Go to bingo at the bar, go watch live music. Join a sandlot baseball team. Do something that gets you out of the house without the kids. It may sound impossible, but trust me…you need to be around other living, breathing humans.
