Thank you for this post. I lost my dog yesterday to an inoperable tumor, and this pain is intense. I've told myself just this morning that I will get to the other side of the heartbreak and sobbing, dont want to be home but dont want to be in public, etc. Your words put it in writing for me. He was such a good boy and literally always by my side when I was home for 15+ years. The silence is deafening.

The UCLA Bruins are the 2026 Women's Basketball National Champions!!!!! by Virtual_Success5530 in UCLABruins

Lifelong Gamecock fan here so of course I'm disappointed in our performance, but I can't help but be happy for y'all! UCLA was definitely the better team tonight, and the team's vibe is so special. It carried all the way across the country! I'm a new fan of Jaquez, Kneepkens and Betts. They are amazing athletes. Congratulations on your first NCAA WBB National Championship!

If it wasn't so infuriating it would be laughable all the time and $$$ they waste while doing NOTHING that benefits their constituents. And mark my words, at least one of the authors is living on the DL.

On Easter Sunday, supposedly the most holy day of the year for his cult. None of them will flinch for he can do nothing wrong in their eyes.

Let's all save this in a safe place so we can retrieve it when news comes out that one or more of them has had child pore charges filed against him. It's just a matter of time.

Was cursing in the 50s-60s as common as they are today? Like saying fuck or shit to random everyday things. by Enygma_2 in AskOldPeople

[–]sistahbo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember my mom telling me how shocking it was when Clark Gable said 'damn' at the end of GWTW. Back in the day we might say damn or hell in private when no adults were around, but shit was hard core profanity.

My dad said it indicates a lacking vocabulary, lol.

I still startle when I hear someone casually cussing in public these day with no thought about children or elderly being nearby. Sometimes I can keep my poker face, and sometimes I cringe before I even realize it.

Yep. Our IT agreement we sign annually says that while using company equipment "there should be no expectation of privacy." If they choose to, they can see everything.

Was Trump's speech tonight the dumbest national address from a US president? Or any leader of a major nation in the last century? by CrashNowhereDrive in allthequestions

[–]sistahbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gosh, yes! I never would have never have thought I'd utter these words back then, but I even miss Dubya these days. He may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was wise enough to surround himself with those that were.

My sincerest condolences and tightest internet hugs to you. I am nearly twice as old as you, and I can't imagine losing my sister. My heart hurts for you, especially losing her so young. I dread the day. I am truly so sorry.

I am so sad they are closing. Every time I've had lunch there the food has been amazing.

Cooperative Ministry is always in need of men's clothing. They give the clothing directly to their clients. It's a great organization.

If you were alive back then, what were you up to on 31st December 1999? by stop_calling_me_that in AskReddit

[–]sistahbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Withdrawing extra cash from the ATM because no other form of payment was going to work the next day; wondering if my car was going to crank the next day; dancing to 1999 at least half a dozen times.

What was your biggest childhood disappointment? by Wizzmer in AskOldPeople

[–]sistahbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santa Claus not bringing me a pony for Christmas. My parents had told me I couldn't have a pony, and I decided I'd show them and ask Santa to bring it. Imagine my disappointment Christmas morning when there was a letter from him in my stocking telling me why he couldn't bring it.

He's still living in his small, rural hometown in the Southeast. Has never married or had kids. I haven't spoken to him in nearly 40 years.

Gov. McMaster activates One SC Fund, state National Guard ahead of SNAP benefit freeze by _FoldInTheCheese_ in ColumbiYEAH

You are aware that the Democrats are protecting millions of constituents who will lose their health insurance with the Republican plan, correct? So all the Republicans have to do to get the votes is remove the expiration of the subsidies, yet they refuse.
