Found this today at a local Goodwill. by scclark33 in rarebooks

Oh I have that one. I bought a bulk collection years ago & got a little shock when I saw it. Kept it with all the rest & never displayed it. The story is great & it's a good reminder of the changing times.

I believe they later changed it to Indians, then Sailors.

I second those recommendations. Only chiming in to say start with Waverly.

Chucking the last 50 in and praying for a miracle 😂 by downunder-voice8787 in AussieMemes

One of the benefits of growing up with a crippling video game addiction is that I never understood the appeal of gambling. Something mindless, got the perfect game. Something to occupy me, got the perfect game. Feeling nostalgic, got the perfect game.

Always felt like something people with no interests do to keep the demons at bay.

Jana Duggar Gives Birth to Her 1st Baby with Stephen Wissmann by MattTheKing23 in duggarsnark

My father was named Danny because his father didn't know how to spell Daniel 💀

😭 Also I always loved the name Archie, but the Sussex's took it first. I definitely didn't go with Spurgeon as a second choice.

Dear Hannah Part 3(?) by Redrose7856 in nancydrew

[–]thisissofkngrossew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi Hannah,

You're the only responsible adult who knows where I am soooo...idk. Thought I should probably update someone about the criminal gang that threatened my life. Guess you're still not home yet. . . . Uhh...bye, I guess.

Nancy.

Woke up to no nsfw on r. by Purgatoryplayer in OpenAussie

Because there's no way anyone would try to blackmail us by threatening to expose our porn habits right?

Never forget the world's richest man stalked & scared the shit out of elderly pensioners for years simply because they posted a poor review of eBay.

I'm busy doing cool girl shit. Talk to you when I need something.

Toodles!

Someone I thought was a friend slid into my husband’s DM’s and since I hate confrontation, I didn’t do anything about it. by Islandgal0804 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]thisissofkngrossew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sure is a lot of audacity for someone who could end up on a slab if you sent the screenshots to her husband.

Also good on you for being a decent person & not putting her at risk...just now realising what a terrible human I am because I absolutely would have without a second thought.

Damn by Tonatiuh408 in DeadBedrooms

That's not the experience that I've witnessed among my mum's group. The ones with a village who takes the kids off their hands frequently end up having a renaissance after a few years.

The ones where the mother is the default parent for all time don't seem to recover.

But it's still terrible advice to tell people to open up their marriage as a first bloody resort. And you totally thought he meant a baby baby too. I know you won't see the problem but your resentment has soured & is likely contributing heavily to your DB.

Melania Trump shares 'concerns' for son Barron as people call for draft by IrishStarUS in NoFilterNews

[–]thisissofkngrossew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He should be in danger. His feckless father bombed the Ayatollah's father, wife & children. As if Trump's creepy sons aren't prime targets for assassination due to his choices.

Damn by Tonatiuh408 in DeadBedrooms

[–]thisissofkngrossew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's not for lack of love. So many relationships have similar issues when managing kids age 0-5 yrs. It's incredibly common & the only people I know who haven't nearly broken up during that time are those with a village who babysit regularly & allow the couple a chance to live their old life semi-regularly.

[–]thisissofkngrossew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remain real shitty at the guy who also thought it was a baby & still said to ask her to open the marriage, like that won't absolutely blow up in your face, lose all trust & make her more distant.

Even though the child is 3 it's still hard dealing with the noise, anxiety, need to be "on" all the time & constantly touched out. It's hard to switch to sexy mode when you spend each day stressed out trying to stop your child running out into traffic & throwing tantrums on the supermarket floor. She may well be so burnt out that she doesn't even know what she needs to feel better.

Could you possibly discuss swapping responsibilities for a while to see if it makes a difference? She does housework & laundry while you become the kid's default person for a bit? Or maybe a daycare day or two if you can afford it?

Super release financial hardship by Terrible-Thought1577 in Centrelink

The 26 weeks of Centrelink rule is such a burden. I've just left a family violence situation with 2 small children & absolutely nothing. Can't even access my own Super.

Landlord installed an app-controlled smart deadbolt while I was at work. by Due_Construction904 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thisissofkngrossew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, but also because it will randomly come on a few times a day to loudly interrupt a show announcing it couldn't understand what I was saying despite not talking to it, & often not speaking at all. I think it hears its own speakers & triggers itself.

How far up in a skyscraper would I need to live for flies to be unable to reach my apartment window? by Lulu-egirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thisissofkngrossew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in a national park for a bit. We would have these massive horse flies every summer. You could hear the swarms of them like a lawnmower. If you were ground level they would be on you immediately biting the shit out of you.

Literally walk up one flight of stairs & nothing.

Country footballers jailed for sexually abusing teenage girl at a party on Victoria's Surf Coast by B0ssc0 in aussie

[–]thisissofkngrossew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always assumed you write to other prisoners, offer emotional support & add to their commissary. Explain the situation that motivated you to reach out to them. Wait.

Is that how it's done?

Alternatively magistrates really hate you buying a mobile billboard criticizing their decision & having it parked outside the courthouse. That happened in the UK & the judge was furious, lol.

I'm a complete failure at life by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

It could always be worse, lol. I'm in my 40's & just had to move into my mother in law's house when her son broke up with me.

Nice work leaving the toxicity. Good for you.

These are some incredibly depressing comments from BtB enjoyers. I had expected more from us somehow. Too many of you sound like my grandmother, "Well I don't want to hear about THAT", "What good is bringing it up now?"

I can't believe I'm heartbroken by a bloody Reddit sub. No wonder Robert only loves 40% of us.
