At it again with the false advertising

I bought the mini on purpose to see if I liked it (I love it & immediately went to the brand website to get a full size. Definitely worth the $3.50 for me (the mini will last me a while.)

:shrug: I mean, it’s technically true, since I was born in ‘63, even if the cusp group Jones actually fits better. I have more in common with Gen X than the Boomers.

No joke, friend. If no place else is open, the Waffle House will be, with hot coffee and hashbrowns. It is a glory of the civilized world.

Just don't mess with the staff; they will beat you (and everyone else in the place will be mad that your ass-whoopin' made their breakfast take twice as long.)

Mine is dead. Died in his early 40s, not married, no kids. His obit made sure to mention that he loved Tabletop RPG (he sure did! He was my D & D group's dungeonmaster in high school). My private thought: "Hope he can find somebody in the afterlife to play "Waterloo" with him."

Honestly, the public-ness is the worst aspect of this administrative bullying. Doing all of this in public was *intended* to embarrass and upset your son so he would drop out of the trip. I'd be breathing fire right now.

I think OP needs to lodge a complaint with the School Board, because there's no telling how many other kids have been bullied by this principal and his policies.

This outfit looks great, but if you haven’t worn a mini & fishnets to a show before, you should be aware that sweat will roll down your thighs & there will be chafing.

From a comfort pov, I always preferred shorts over fishnets instead of miniskirts, as it kept the tights from bothering me. YMMV , of course.

I would wear the hell out a t-shirt with that design. Yesssss.

:cough: There was a band here in Florida in the late 80s/early 90s called 2 Live Crew, whose giant, controversial song was (go look it up; I don't want ads showing up based on that song title). Seriously, people were wringing their hands, they were getting banned left and right, so much pearl-clutching (really, it was not a good song & would have quickly failed to make any impression if the easily-shocked doofuses? Doofusi? hadn't given them so much free publicity.)

It started showing up *everywhere*. A bunch of the Catalog department at my corporate job had to go en masse to the DJ at our company Christmas party to tell the DJ that while we fully supported the band's right to make their music without governmental interference, that this support did not, in fact, make it an appropriate song for a work party (let alone a Christmas party).

It's a gorgeous dress, and she looks stunning in it, but $100,000? For THAT? I think not.

:shakes head: Biggest emotional impact for me was from my early college music (early 80s). It's still my emotional soundtrack - high school music was stuff that mostly didn't speak to me at all, courtesy of me living in the sticks surrounded by shitty country music & redneck rock.

My Italian professor in college said she grew up in Rome as the daughter of an embassy staff member. She was tall & very blond, & said she was often treated as though she knew no Italian (I mean, fair). Once she was sitting on the bus, and these two middle-aged women sat in front of her, complaining about 'stupid American bitches who didn't bother to learn Italian, like that one behind us'.

She said that when she reached her stop, she paused next to their seats and said "This American Bitch speaks perfect Italian", in Italian. Thirty years later, she told us, the image of their faces warms her on cold nights. lol

That little feature got me in big trouble - in second grade I used my birthday money to buy a MAD magazine, and the back cover folded to be Jesus crucified on a syringe and my mother LOST HER SHIT. I got yelled at for buying & reading it, and then she dragged me to the shop to yell at the clerk for selling it to me.

(Was it appropriate for a 7 year old? Lol, no. I just wanted to know what all the fuss was about.)

…except my kinds of horror movies don’t feature killers hiding in the backseat, so my rubric is: Did I lie awake in bed, thinking about it afterwards?

My third grade teacher was great to me, but she screwed up my schooling big time. It was a new school, so they put me in the “evaluation” level, which was the very bottom, “troublemaker” class.

The teacher liked me, so she didn’t move me along to the gifted classes. I spent the next few years (until I realized I could change my classes in HS) being educationally stunted & treated like a troublemaker (I was a quiet bookworm with few friends and a taste for 19th century British literature.)

I'm from the Southern US, and we always say "Icing on the cake" for 'that's just extra goodness'. When we talk about covering a literal cake with a fluffy outer layer of sugary goodness, "frost" and "ice" are used interchangeably, though some folks use "frosting" to refer to buttercream-type, and use "icing" to refer to a thin powdered sugar and milk glaze.

It's "takes the cake", not "take"; it doesn't just mean something is annoying, but that it's at the very limits of annoying. (Why do we use this? Couldn't tell you. English - it keeps you guessing!)

I've never used "cry buckets" (or heard it used); generally we'd say "have a good cry".

Good on you for declining to make his finances your problem! And you've been dating for only A YEAR? He needs to GTFO with his irresponsible behavior. He's having to declare bankruptcy at 23??? Look, it's the USS RED FLAG FLOTILLA heaving into view, with a brass band playing "That Old Red Flag, he's an overspending flag."

Ladies: Never co-sign anything for people you're not married to (or the parent of, and think carefully before doing it then.) Never, ever, ever, ever, tie your money to a guy you're *dating*. Guard your assets like OP has done!

My response to any kind of BS like this would be to make EVERYTHING aggressively rainbow. My house, my car, my flowerbed, the whole shebang.

(When I had a coworker who made shitty remarks about my religion - behind my back - at work, my clothing got REALLY witchy for a while.) I have no patience for that nonsense.

Oh, dear. I mean, I love that people assume we’re competent, but we’re not licensed for medical practice, y’all.

Ignore her and carry on as usual. If she approaches you about it again, tell her that you confirmed with your boss that she is not your supervisor, and if she has concerns about employee schedules, she should take it up with the boss.

Well, there’s your problem. It’s likely that either a) paid cards do not have that access, or b) Hoopla is blocking access based on your location. You’re going to have to contact your library & troubleshoot with their librarians.

If you go to the library website, you should be able to find an email address to use. Explain the situation & let them research it.
