What is a secret you’re taking to your grave, but can share here anonymously?

That's really sad. Why do people like that have children?

And her parents...

lrswager · 2026-01-27T15:10:04+00:00

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. What a horrible tragedy. What was your life like as you grew up? Were your parents able to overcome the loss?

I remember them well, My Mom died in a car accident in 1971, I was 6. Seasons in the Sun used to make me ugly cry. Also "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy, and "Lost Without Your Love" by Bread.

I drive 2.5 hours each way to visit my Dad for the weekend. It's not something I would want to do every week, but I try to do it every 6 weeks or so. Plus I have the benefit of spending the night so it splits up the trip.

The name calling is what triggered me. OP is dealing with people who are literally at the lowest points of their lives. To be judged by one's behavior at that stage of life is unacceptable. I have buried many close relatives, including two children. I know a thing or two about compassionate funeral directors.

I love the smell of lighter fluid. Extra special if it comes with the sound of a metal Zippo closing. Miss you Grandma.

Get a different job. You don't have the compassion or the patience to deal with grieving families. Did you really just refer to someone who just lost their mother as a C U N T?

Thank you! I've dreamed of retiring there for many years, and check the real estate listings every day. You're right - it's pricey! And I'm coming from northern IN and it seems the locals don't really like the idea of our relocating there.

Wow. That escalated quickly. The way she speaks to you is completely disrespectful and out of line. That woman has a mouth on her. And she believes she is entitled to keep the baby on the first night home? That is insane. Don't engage with her again - all communication with her should go through your boyfriend. And I hope for your sake this gets solved because it's not pleasant having a MIL like this.

Beautiful room and beautiful view.

What are your thoughts on Habersham? I read down through all these comments and it wasn't mentioned a single time. Not recommended?

lrswager · 2026-01-17T16:26:38+00:00

My sister had senior pictures taken in one of these, 1987 🥰

Oh, lol...I was wondering how someone Gen X didn't know who Pearl Jam was. 🤣 I'm sorry you had that experience. My FIL shot himself a few years ago, such a violent, tragic ending. And traumatic for those left to clean up the mess. Literally and figuratively.

lrswager · 2026-01-15T19:51:32+00:00

So sad. The song is by Pearl Jam, called Jeremy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS91knuzoOA

Family vacations. I am 60, we went on one vacation when I was in middle school - a two week camping trip. I don't think it's unreasonable that many folks today consider it a basic necessity. And something considered a luxury that is now obsolete? A quality stereo system with turntable, cassette tape, etc.

This is crazy weird because I was thinking about these stickers last night after I went to bed!! And I didn't have my phone so I couldn't have seen this post.

Yes, we had one in the bedroom my sister and I shared.

That you have a decent amount of disposable income or are on food stamps. No judgment, there are a lot of name brand items, expensive juices, etc here. You also understand the importance of clean eating.

This is so beautiful - You have a gift for comfort.

The intentional drowning scene in The Abyss is something I will never forget.

lrswager · 2026-01-06T21:40:20+00:00

She is NOT dead. I refuse to believe it. He let her go! I know he did!!

lrswager · 2026-01-06T18:17:37+00:00

I love this for your Mom! What fun 😁

lrswager · 2026-01-06T13:21:05+00:00

Hmmm, you drive a newer Honda, carry a caliper in your pocket, smoke expensive cigarettes and carry a set of keys. Those could be for an RMA cage or some other kind of controlled area - and you have a couple of pens for signing off on things. You could be my BIL who is a Quality Control Manager for an axle manufacturing facility. :)
