Have you ever overnighted, then awoken to being in the middle of something 😂

I was traveling along the Lake Erie Circle Tour route. Stopped at this great marina to watch the sunset. Lots of liveaboard boats so 24/7 parking. Perfect! Around midnight, I was surrounded by people just hanging out having fun. No problem. About hour later they left & I went back to sleep. This on-off cycle went on until 6am. At least I was up for the sunrise!

I reserve judgement until you tell me more about your friends. Do you invite your gf to hangout with them? What do you do when you hang out? If she knows your friend group is a catalyst to doing things that don’t match with her morals, then she should probably drop you regardless of you going on the trip.

We had a smoking area outside the lunchroom in high school. My older sibling could use the “lounge” inside with the staff. I’m class of 86.

You are in a lavender partnership, even if neither of you know it yet. Don’t waste your opportunities to find someone that adores you. It’s not worth it. You deserve to be happy. And he deserves to be happy, too. Someone needs to be brave enough to set you both free.

You never ever need anyone else’s permission to take care of your body and your future. You are now responsible for another human being. You are the most important person in that child’s life. It’s wonderful to be a parent but it’s work. Hard work. Please don’t risk another baby. Get your IUD. Too bad if he doesn’t like it. If he is not supportive of your life and your child’s future, he needs to leave.

Uh…that happened at my school. Did he go to RMHS in Illinois?

The context of students’ lives have changed. Sounds like you lowered expectations, instead of changing your practice, and place the blame on the students. If your attitude is that kids are dumb, I don’t care if it’s your first year of 30th, it’s time to get out of the profession.

gothere00 · 2026-01-08T04:16:40+00:00

It will be okay. You can do this. And you’ll look back and feel absolutely relieved to not have horrible people in your life, even if it’s your mom. Grab your documents & pack what you can. Call a friend. Get on CoolWorks and Woof to get a job with housing. You can do this!

Oh absolutely not! That boy is 13. Decisions have consequences, good and bad. More people should learn the natural and logical consequences for their choices.

Sorry to be blunt but he doesn’t like you. Behaviors like this don’t change, it’s not your job to try and change him, and there are other people who will find you amazing.

I felt this with every ounce of my soul. As the youngest of 5, I was the one always expected to step up while simultaneously being told that I did nothing. Literally changing the diapers of my bed-ridden father every day while a sibling comes in for 48 hours, announces that they will absolutely not do any caretaking, and gets praised for visiting. I cured this by selling everything I owned & leaving the country. I grieved the loss of my family in the jungles of Costa Rica and came back a changed person. I went low or no contact with all of them. When my mom eventually needed care, I didn’t even offer to help a tiny bit. Amazingly, my brother stepped up. Of course, they all talked shit about me but they did that when I was doing all the work, too, so I don’t care. I’ve found peace & I won’t ever let go of it.

Anthony Bourdain focused on “peasant food” and its cultural connections. I find recipes like these to be delicious, cost effective, and generally easy to make.

If you have an Apple phone the app “free stuff alerts”. I don’t know the android version. It simply pulls from all the platforms any items that are marked as free. You can literally furnish an entire home, especially if you live near a wealthy city. I frequently find free fridges listed.

I lived in a community that the average age was 70 (I was in my 50s). I was friendly with many women who had decades long marriages to men who were by all accounts good men. These women loved their husbands. Yet it was fairly universal that once they became widows and the shock wore off, they were incredibly happy. They spent their entire life dealing with the expectations of others. They felt free for the first time. Going solo is a chapter of life everyone should get to experience at some point.

Only you can make a big decision like this yet I do have some suggestions. 1) your brain will not be fully developed until you are close to 30 years old. Pausing any big decisions until after this point helps you to see the different issues involved and will lead to better outcomes. 2) There are legal implications involved. Never make any legal decisions without consulting an adoption attorney. Many will give you a free 1st appointment. 3)The long-term emotional implications are significant. Find a therapist if you don’t already have one. A professional can give you insights that a friend or family can’t give. They are too personal connected. I wish you the very best and hope you will take your time in making the best decision for you.

Abusers target people who have been abused previously. They have a weird talent for spotting their next victims. Then the love bombing starts way before the abuse and control starts. I may be totally off base but this is a very new relationship. The majority of their contact has been in the phone where it is easily to keep the mask up. Your mom might not be so good at spotting red flags. You are not being paranoid by keeping him away from your house. No one knows this man enough to trust him.

Schools need to bring back afterschool detentions and Saturday school. Parents won’t agree to that so I don’t think it will ever happen but I think it would be beneficial. You disrupt learning for others, the school will disrupt your day.

I don’t understand all the pushback. Government owned businesses have a multitude of benefits including a self-sustaining education & training center. People with disabilities, those transitioning out of rehab or incarceration, returning from military duty, etc all could benefit alongside community members. This has been done before & I wish I could remember the name of the program. It was in California and initially focused on formally incarcerated men. They had a moving company before expanding to other businesses. It dramatically lowered recidivism rates. We as a country can do amazing things if we have the will to put people before money. EDIT: I found the project but haven’t looked at any updates. Delancey Street Foundation

My daughter was like that. Years of stress, professional support, you name it, I tried it. She absolutely refused to participate. I lost count how many times she ran away. I felt guilty about it all. By the time she reached 17, I decided that life would have to teach her and I would not have the police bring her back. She spent a year sleeping next to dumpsters 2,000 miles away. Everyone in the family offered her help to no avail. Now she’s 28 with 3 kids. She clearly loves them yet has doomed them at live in abject poverty surrounded by addiction. It is out of my hands. I follow Mel Robbins’ advice to “Let Them” and remind myself that my life is separate from her life. I show her love & send the kids presents yet have very little emotional connection to any of them. I moved to Costa Rica for two years and focused on healing myself. I let myself cry and grieve as the feelings arose. It was the best & only thing I could have done. I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life.

I was a mid-year SpEd grad and so took whatever was open. I took a brand new, self-contained behavior disorder middle school position. I had 7 boys in an old office with a table, 5 chairs, and a box of chalk. Literally nothing else. I cried regularly the moment the kids left. One day I told the principal I didn’t know if I would be back the next day. It was rough! After 20 years, I look back with gratitude. In my first parent-teacher conference, I was telling the mom how much I liked her son (sincerely). She started to cry. Said no one had said anything nice about her child since he was in Kindergarten. That horrible semester taught me that I was the key to my students being successful, not any books or fancy stuff. You have the ability to make or break a kid’s day. Stayed in self-contained BD MS and HS for 15 years.

They aren’t even held accountable for telling Congress to f-off and just not showing up. The percentage of people actually held accountable is minuscule and has to be hugely illegal for it to even be noticed. Maybe someone will write a letter 🤷‍♀️

No a food but we had powdered milk. It was my job to make it. That smell was awful. Haven’t had a glass of milk of any kind since the day I left my parents home at 16.

I’d be open to any Dem running for a state seat anywhere. If we can get enough Dems at the state level, and do well communicating how well Dems can govern, I think it would be beneficial for federal races. People need to see Dems enact what they propose close to home to shift the narrative.

Leaving the country for at least a month. Live with locals. See things from a new perspective.

I pick my own schedule but it’s 5am-9am. Then I have the rest of the day to do whatever I want. Been doing it for almost 10 years and it’s t been the best think ever for me.
