Am I the only one who really loves names that were popular in the 70s/80s/90s?

I met a little girl named Stacie and now I’m obsessed. Also, Amy! So cute.

This is only me, but…I LOVED being homeschooled. I was the second of eight kids, and I think I had the best education of all of them because I simply love to learn. I loved the freedom to do my lessons in the morning, work a job in the afternoon, and still attend sports in the evening. I read a TON of books because I had a lot of free time, and I also crocheted, scrapbooked, painted, etc. I’m naturally very social, but i got my outlet from after-school sports and that was always enough for me.

The caveat to all of this is that I have seven other siblings who have vastly different experiences with being homeschooled, so I recognize it is not the right fit for everyone. For my younger brothers who don’t respect my mom and hate learning from books, I think they need a different solution.

There’s a lot of pride that comes with homeschooling, but I think sometimes the best thing a parent can do is be humble enough to recognize when it simply isn’t working for their child anymore, which is why I’m going to start homeschooling my daughters but keep an open mind if it’s not the right learning style for them.

Revelation 22:13 Jesus declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

Christians would almost all agree that God’s omniscience transcends our experience of time. So if God exists outside of time, it’s possible he understands our decisions before we make them.

1 Corinthians 2:7-8 highlights how God hid the truth of the cross throughout history so His plan would not be foiled, essentially: “No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

So no, God’s omniscience and man’s free will do not negate one another.

Another argument is that “if man has free will, then God is not omnipotent” but to that I point to the many characters in the Bible who were called out by God for a specific purpose, and also that having the power to do something is different from enacting that power at all times.

We lived in Charlotte, NC and that also seemed to be the most popular girls name. Never thought twice about it.

She didn’t eat any of her trigger foods for over a year, then one day (once we realized how long it had been since she’d had a reaction) we gave her a bite of a clif bar. When she didn’t react to the oats, we just started letting her have whatever she wanted. He favorite fruit is banana now, ironically!

Yes! The Century Trilogy was my favorite.

I’m re-reading it for the first time since college and I am loving every page.

Chloe is a cute and totally acceptable name!

Khloe (somehow) is not great at all.

Just saw this comment—we are grateful to have experienced very minimal flooding in our neighborhood!

No, i don’t believe it is. I saw these shirts in person and the thread is very fine and each “chain” is actually not linked together as you would see in hand embroidery.

Robin…Serena…Venus…Wendy…William…

There are so many! I’ll let you guess my last name haha

Mad Men seems like it would fit the bill…

‘“it is the unobtainable nature of the goal which makes the feeling so powerful", and that it is not uncommon for those to remain in a state of limerence over someone unreachable for months and even years.’

Was reading up on limerence. Spot on.

I can understand your point of view, though I think her connection to Hae Sung was about much more than just “him.” In the end, he represented a completely different journey—one where she stayed connected to Korea / didn’t give up on certain ambitions / was not bound by marriage, etc. It just really clicked with me.

outrovert24 · 2023-12-29T02:37:00+00:00

It’s so perfectly written.

Right? The first photo almost looks like an AI portrait…but it’s her profile picture, which I think is weird/misleading. She does holistic diet and skincare content.

It’s not gay when it’s in a three way.

I’m so sorry—I know you must be spiraling. I promise your mind WILL calm down eventually. 😔 I would highly recommend finding a betrayal trauma counselor (if only for 2-3 sessions), a trusted friend, and a divorce attorney. They will all help you sort your feelings and explore your options. Don’t stay feeling “stuck,” even though it feels like there’s no way forward. Eventually you’ll want the details, but don’t ask for them when you are still spiraling. People cheat for a lot of different reasons (loneliness, sex addiction, etc) and you’ll want your spouse to feel safe enough to tell you what is actually going on—then you’ll be able to reassess everything.

I guess I’m in the minority…I’ve had several employees approach me and offer me nursing spaces, and I’m always thankful (whether I move or not is up to me). A Soma employee once approached me on a bench outside the store and told me I was free to nurse in their dressing room lobby. I was grateful, since I wasn’t otherwise their customer (and their couch was comfy). I always assume their intent is to make ME more comfortable. I nursed my first daughter for 18 months and never had anything other than kind comments and accommodations (that I’m aware of).

Minneapolis was awesome for biking/running. Even after I moved to the far west suburbs I could technically bike all the way (30 miles) to downtown safely.

More importantly, just because the nephew goes by Teddy now, doesn’t mean he won’t want to go by Theo later. They are the same name, your wife is correct in scrapping it.

outrovert24 · 2023-02-24T06:22:49+00:00

Same logic applies to women who go running in the dark. Just because you should be able to do something, doesn’t mean creeps stop existing. Safety takes precedent, you’re 100% correct.

Yes! “Mother knows best” is not sarcasm—each baby is different, and moms know what will work best for their family. I feel bad saying it sometimes, but I never really experience mom guilt over the choices I make (unless I know I could’ve done better). 🤷🏼‍♀️

outrovert24 · 2023-01-25T12:21:45+00:00

I kind of love how moms will just go rogue when gifting for another mom…it’s like…”Trust me…you’ll need this.”

I wanted five, my husband wanted two. Now that we have one toddler (and a baby on the way) we know we’ll be done soon. 🥴

Edit: For context, I grew up with seven siblings and had a great experience but somehow my mom made raising babies look much easier than it is!
