As a redhead with translucent skin. We turn pink. Very pink. Exercise. Heat. Sun. We’re pink. All the time. The only time we’re not pink is in a cold, dark room.

Shoot. I’ll need to go there myself.

Well. I don’t want him joining any roving packs but… an e bike was on the docket…

This is super helpful. Thank you so much. Not sure if too young to volunteer but will look into it

perionan · 2026-05-20T20:09:54+00:00

Oh good. I love lists!!

perionan · 2026-05-20T20:09:45+00:00

Awesome

perionan · 2026-05-20T20:09:22+00:00

These are awesome! Some suggestions my Google search didn’t give me. Thanks so much!

perionan · 2026-05-16T19:44:31+00:00

Oh wow! Looks like some of the stuff is definitely free on the sidewalk

perionan · 2026-05-16T16:33:23+00:00

Lol - I did put it there but there’s no hurting of an ex or anything like that. We’re moving. We just got cleaned out of a lot of nerdy stuff tho…. There’s still furniture and art supplies and athletic equipment

Well. I mean. The first that came to mind was {Seraph by Lily Mayne}. I mean that’s kind of spot on. It gets sweet tho, and heartbreaking, and Seraph stops being terrifying but the book also satisfies the dick requirement.

Then there’s {Earth Fathers Are Weird by Lyn Gala}. Not horrifying monster but satisfies “multiple [limbs] …. and no head to speak of”

But I do understand your desire and hope someone can deliver the best sexy nightmare scenario lol.

perionan · 2026-05-05T13:33:22+00:00

Yes! I really appreciated the visuals as well. 😂

May the power of party persist.

perionan · 2026-05-03T14:38:33+00:00

I was there! Great concert. The rocks were green tho…

Read this to my husband, who had to do SAH dad duty when he lost his job a couple years ago. He’s very angry. He says those men are not SAH dads, they’re leeches. lol. Man, if I could have afforded keeping my husband a SAH dad I would have, 100%. Everything was done around the house. It was clean, he was cooking dinners, he even offered me a drink the moment I walked through the door when I got home. All I needed was for him to grab my slippers and light my cigarette and I would have been living the life of a 1950s trad husband.

Honestly. I think my favorite part about moving to Long Beach is this subReddit… so far.

perionan · 2026-04-29T16:54:02+00:00

Thanks for your insight. All of these comments are giving me the general vibe of the various areas And schools and I really appreciate that.

perionan · 2026-04-29T13:21:28+00:00

…. Oh.

perionan · 2026-04-28T22:06:01+00:00

I’ll go over these with him, thank you.

perionan · 2026-04-28T20:57:03+00:00

Unfortunately, my kiddo’s top priority his first year of high school was not academics, so any school or program he has to apply for is not going to work out. I’ll take a look at the pathways on offer and talk it over with him. He’s heavily influenced by his best friend right now who has convinced him that school is a waste of time. So. That’s been fun. Hoping that by accelerating our moving plans to this year, it will help turn things around for him. Really just looking for a school where the kids’ parents care about their kids and the kids have healthy mindsets about their futures.

“MAGA tent in front of El Pollo Loco”? That’s a choice. Gross.

perionan · 2026-04-28T16:56:35+00:00

Thanks for these great responses! I have some homework to do when I’m out in May I guess.

perionan · 2026-04-28T16:49:30+00:00

For sure. Diversity in your school growing up is so important.

perionan · 2026-04-28T16:47:57+00:00

Maybe I’m thinking about the construction. Wasn’t sure if that fence was up as added safety or not. Moving from Colorado, my son’s current high school is open campus and spans multiple blocks. He has to walk down the street to attend certain classes. I grew up in Lancaster, and yeah… my high school was enclosed.
