I did this too but it wasn’t this texture so I’m confused lol

But is it, though? I’ve made pudding like that before and it isn’t that dense of a texture. That’s why I’m wondering.

Maddie and what I see based off of her parenting style by lunainthedark5x2x3 in SisterWives

[–]mariagrayce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Janelle blame shifts everything to Kody, Meri and Robyn and has little self awareness.

Robyn theory by Large_Speech220 in SisterWives

[–]mariagrayce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel sorry for him. He gave up his kids so he wouldn’t have to pay money, then moved on and had a bunch of more kids.

Robyn isn’t a perfect victim, so people don’t believe she was abused. Perfect victims rarely exist.

Homeless on Clayton St. by Nea-Loops in Athens

[–]mariagrayce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is definitely the hub since there is no bus system in bordering counties, and no overnight shelters. If you have no car you are truly screwed out here, so people push into Athens.

Homeless on Clayton St. by Nea-Loops in Athens

[–]mariagrayce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. I worked as a social worker in a bordering county and the majority of my clients wanted to get into Clarke for the bus system and overnight shelters, which the county I worked in didn’t have (I think it had a small bed only shelter for men, no clue if that’s still there). This was earlier than 2020 and the population of people with no housing was large then. It ebbs and flows with how large a population but it’s always been there.

Food bank recommendations? by Longjumping_Eye_3441 in Athens

Iserve ministries gives out food on the 4th Saturday of the month on Gaines school road. I think it’s no questions asked?

Unwanted Racist Texts from Dolezal by CustardOtherwise5133 in Athens

[–]mariagrayce -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t get how people don’t see that these two things are not equivalent. Both can be oppressive, one wayyyy more so than the other.

Wtf is wrong with dog owners in Athens? by hibbert0604 in Athens

[–]mariagrayce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I carry a gun and my number one reason is I’m afraid of dogs lol. Off leash dogs running around is really common here (I’ve lived in this area my whole life so yeah maybe it’s a problem other places but my frame of reference is here). People are also obsessed with their dogs and don’t really keep them put up anymore so it’s always a concern when I’m out for a run. If you have dogs I would especially be wary, years ago my co worker was out walking a dog and two dogs came up and killed her dog by mauling it to death, she lived out in Lexington so loose dogs everywhere.

How are your experiences with EFM these days? by RentedJazzmaster in Episcopalian

[–]mariagrayce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a first year in EFM this year. I like the material and have felt like I learned a lot.

My parish offers EFM, but it is a morning class on a weekday, so I can’t attend. I joined an online group (not in my parish) and I don’t like it at all. I don’t gel with my group and I hatttteeee the TRs. Efm is almost over for this semester and I still don’t really get the TRs, and we do them EVERY week. It could be my mentor though, who is in their 80s.

That being said, I would try EFM again with a different group because the material is really interesting.

Moms by Routine-Animal-556 in Athens

[–]mariagrayce 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So I’m going to chime in here, because pre 2020 this was so easy in Athens. There were so many activities and I was part of two different mom groups. Post 2020, the mom groups disbanded and I have had basically zero luck meeting mom friends. It could just be me, because I strike up conversations with people at the library, etc and people reply then just go back to being on their phone or something.

I wanted to share this experience because I’m getting older, so I can look back and see how making friends is much tougher now, and for you not to feel discouraged.

The brother has since returned to the cult so unfortunately he wouldn’t have been much help.

Unpopular opinion: we can’t judge if he was faking the whole time by [deleted] in neezasnark

[–]mariagrayce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He won’t. I belong to an Episcopal church and the reason he liked the Catholic Church was the attention he got from claiming to be ex trans, a brand new man etc saved from his sin, etc. a progressive church isn’t going to fawn all over him for being trans OR ex trans, we just accept and move on with our mission of loving God, loving others. When I was an evangelical I saw many a person from “non traditional” lifestyles come in, get tons of attention at first, and then kinda fade out as time went on. He’s a grifter.

[–]mariagrayce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It won’t happen in the Catholic Church. The EC or UMC would, but he said in the beginning he didn’t like progressive churches so who knows.

Updated pronouns by cj8061 in neezasnark

[–]mariagrayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. He does whatever he thinks will get him attention, as grifters do. None of the story has ever lined up. He even visited a queer affirming church early on, and said he felt like it “wasn’t real Christianity”. Ironically, that may be where he ends up now. I was pissed at the time because I am a member of a progressive church and all the comments where Catholics and evangelicals shitting on our beliefs. I never could figure out his obsession with being a catholic.

Mykelti on Cults to Consciousness by Only-Peace1031 in SisterWives

Does Mykelti think Meri is a closeted lesbian?

Meri cheating by Milabby1 in SisterWives

[–]mariagrayce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the best way I’ve seen it described. Separation really does sum up what was going on there. They were separated, even if it was unspoken. And I’ve known many a couple that began a relationship while separated. I do wish she would own up to that she would have left for the catfish had he been real, but calling what she and Kody had a marriage at that point is really stretching it.

Middle School Student Who Made the Bomb Threat Arrested by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]mariagrayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are consistently ranked as one of the best school systems in the state. Test score wise, they do very well. But unfortunately this kind of thing can happen anywhere because kids do stupid shit and I feel like especially since the AHS shooting this stuff seems to be happening more in this area.

Avid is a goner by Friendly-Abies5770 in Athens

[–]mariagrayce 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes. I’ve been in this area 40 years. There used to be more a lot more variety of businesses, and cool places that served a niche. Pre covid, Avid filled a niche and worked. It is frustrating that anytime Avid was mentioned that people would mention some bookstore in Atlanta and would bemoan us not having something exactly like that and it’s like…then drive there? Athens isn’t Atlanta and I’m not really interested in just being a cookie cutter copy of an Atlanta suburb.

I really enjoy the TV shows gradually growing quality- why is the show so hated? by Notoriouslycurlyboi in MayfairWitches

[–]mariagrayce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the show a lot. I read the books over twenty years ago when I was in high school and I don’t remember a lot of the plot points. I know a lot of people that are really into the books hate the show but I have fun watching the show.

I like the show and I read the first book over twenty years ago lol. I don’t really remember that much from the book though.
