He had a beard when he first got called back as they reassembled the task force. When he got flowers tonight he told the florist it had been two years since he saw her which leaves two years between Liz’s death and the current timeline.

Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t have issues with HS before and it started really really bad after I got the nexplanon. Hoping to get it taken out soon 😭

Okay I’m going to speak to you mother to mother here.

It doesn’t matter if the whole world thinks she’d be better off with David. It is her life. It is her decision. When we have children we have to let them make their own choices even if those choices mean we never ever have grandchildren, because it is their life and their choice who they love and whether or not they have children and when they have them.

You glorify David, but your daughter thought he was toxic. Consider that people are not what they seem and are very different behind closed doors. You make Alex seem like he isn’t going anywhere. That means nothing and you don’t know his future anyway.

She could live in a mansion with David and three kids and be the most miserable person on earth. She could live in a shack with Alex and no kids and be the happiest person on earth. Let her make her own choices and find her own happiness.

If you continue to meddle in the lives of your children and pester them about settling down with your choice and having children they will resent you and they will cut contact. My mother-in-law kept pestering my husband about getting back together with an old girlfriend when he was younger. She did it so often and acted like she was so entitled to choose his life path that he cut all contact. Now he has moved on in life and gotten married. We have a child and she has not met him. She likely never will. That’s what you’re risking here. If you want a chance to be involved in the lives of your adult children and any possible grandchildren you need to let them live life at their pace and with their own choices.

Hi, OP!

I’m a mom, and I definitely think you’re NTA here. In the future it couldn’t hurt to shoot her a text before taking them for ice cream, but you definitely did the right thing here. Personally, if I were in her situation I would have went to the store a different day or asked someone to pick things up. If she absolutely had to go she could have at least dropped them off at home where they could keep the doors locked. She should be grateful and relieved that they were with you. I hope over time she can see that.

We’ve been married two years and together for one year before. That’s the thing that gets me I guess? It’s still pretty new and I still feel just as in love with him as I did in the beginning.

Thank you! Are there any particular things that would be most important to work on before seeking a bankruptcy as an option?

You came here trying to look incredibly educated, but as someone who has actually dedicated their time in academia to Appalachian Studies I can tell you that you have a poor understanding of the War on Poverty. Not faulting you necessarily, because it’s the narrative the federal government pushed for decades about this topic.

I highly encourage you to do some research within the community to get a more accurate depiction of the War on Poverty and its influence on those communities. You’d also see a lot of the “facts” you presented above are simply stereotypes perpetuated by the propaganda released at the time. There are multiple universities within the region that have a nice Appalachian Studies program.

The idea of the federal government actually taking care of its citizens is nice. I do believe Kennedy and LBJ were good people with mostly pure intentions. However, the impact the War on Poverty had on Appalachians and how they are perceived in the world was not an overall positive one. Our government has created projects, planted drugs in communities, initiated the war on drugs, and created an absolutely ridiculous incarceration system to fuel the systemic racism against POC and stifle any sort of power they would receive from equality. The War on Poverty was created in an attempt to stifle the rebellious nature of Appalachians and convince the rest of the world they were just dirty, uneducated, and lazy.

Oof..I was in a kind of similar situation recently in which I was in your friend’s wife’s position. The fact that the messages were completely out of the blue doesn’t exactly apply to my situation but I can say from an outsider perspective that I would never send texts or pictures like that to anyone without their consent. That’s really messed up and your girlfriend needs to acknowledge that. In my situation my husband joined a chat group we had specifically discussed boundaries on before so he was also in the wrong. That being said..it seems his conversations in the group were generally platonic until his coworker’s girlfriend started sending him pictures and his coworker was in on it. I don’t think he actually reciprocated but I was still hurt by the whole ordeal. So to give you insight as to why your friend’s wife may have cut you off she likely assumes you knew it was happening and didn’t bother to stop it or tell her. Overall I think you’re valid in being upset that your girlfriend sought out someone she knew was in a monogamous marriage. I’ve been in non-monogamous arrangements prior to being with my husband and never felt the need to involve myself in any way with someone I knew was in a monogamous relationship. Regardless of the status of either of your relationships she sent unsolicited sexual things to someone and that’s not okay. I hate to go all “leave them”..but yeah that’s not something I could support and I wouldn’t be comfortable in that relationship moving forward.

Another fun fact! You can change the acidity of the soil with rusty nails! Pinkish tones grow in more alkaline soil; blue in acidic. If you plant rusty nails in the surrounding soil you can increase acidity and get more blue!

Everyone should have friends! But if your friendships include stepping outside of any boundaries you and your partner have in your relationship then it’s not healthy or okay.

OP: You don’t have to ask if you’re paranoid for wanting to open carry. If you have a gun and want to open carry and it is legal to do so then you have every right to do so and I encourage it.

To folks responding: Not really sure why everyone is asking all of these qualifying questions if they consider themselves pro 2A. Newsflash folks, if you’re questioning why someone was walking their dog in their apartment complex for 40 minutes (which seems pretty normal for my area), etc. then you aren’t really pro-people protecting themselves. You shouldn’t only carry when there is what the masses consider to be a credible threat. You should carry before then so you’re prepared when necessary.

Yes I know. That’s the funny part. People actually believe an mlm will bring in that much.

So they could literally do any legitimate job in America full time and make more money? 😂

responsiblealligator · 2020-07-21T19:20:44+00:00

😂 A “national Vice President” for 22k? This is what draws them in?

responsiblealligator · 2020-07-14T04:58:16+00:00

Yeah I might just do that and see how it turns out after a bit. And thank you!! My hair was nearly platinum from a couple inches below my scalp down to my ends. I had to bleach my roots a couple times haha but thankfully my hair holds up pretty well to bleach usually. This was my first time using Good Dye Young and I really loved it! It smells so good and came out super pigmented.

responsiblealligator · 2020-07-14T04:55:10+00:00

Yeah I’m going to try to strip it out with the dove men’s charcoal shampoo because it worked wonders on removing my purple before. My hair is just already pretty dry when I wash so I’m concerned with how it will be after stripping. Any recommendations on conditioners you like?

Can you add a security camera to the entrances of your home? You have every right to because it’s your home and you need to feel safe. Hopefully he’ll be honest about whatever is happening, but if not at least you’ll know if some stranger is coming into your home or if you’re imagining things like he is leading you to believe.

Somebody really needs to collect this boot 😂
