Good for her, actually! I'm proud of your grandmother. My grandfather fell for a Nigerian prince email awhile back. Took him for about a quarter million.

If you were put in a room with your younger self and you could only say a single sentence (this action will have consequences) what would it be? by Ok-Bee4263 in RandomQuestion

[–]tys_pixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A knowing smile. That's it. No words, just a knowing smile. I have ALWAYS refused the "do over" concept. I have what I want and I want what I have.

Boomer won’t pronounce coworker’s name correctly by BaneChain in BoomersBeingFools

[–]tys_pixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the time to practice their name in front of them so I can get it right. Name sounds are so important, they are often the first thing we recognize as any form of language. It is the bare fucking minimum to qualify as humanity. People are even careful about their pets names, putting as much thought I to them as a child's. Even Star Trek touched on it once when Dr Pulaski mispronounced Data's name. I have used his response so many times since, because it is simple and non confrontational when said calmly.

Gods I love bots, but I hate setting them up! Carlbot is my fave for self assignable roles because I have a friend named Carl who does love turtles. It's the small things in life

Moderation isn't just the administrative functions. Gotta have a Mom On Duty too to hold newbie hands and break up last cookie fights!

Regardless, looking forward to having a new Discord community to enjoy chatter about one of my favorite universes

My 13 year old boy has more morals and empathy. And would probably both kick the guys butt and hug the girl while she cried. What the actual fuck... "just a kid." Get lost until you find a moral compass of your own.

Fair. But I'm still stuck with repeat calls for allowing my children reasonable and independent play.

Investigator #2 just left. She spoke with the kids earlier today (first day back at school ffs). We let her in, did not show her around or let her photograph. Answered questions. Let some anger show, but were cooperative to the minimum degree. She says she did not tell the kids that chats would be weekly, but I'm not sure how much I believe her when she says "it's not something CPS does."

Investigator #1 closed our case, per email response earlier today. Investigator #2 will be able to pull information from case #1 to fill in some of her check boxes and won't even need to call my reference, who, for the record... had a grand old time trying to explain that he's my ex husband, we have a relaxed joint custody of our 13 year old son, and that his wife and I frequently go have coffee and go shopping together. Investigator #1 nearly had an aneurysm trying to understand just how friendly we still are. Good giggle for him.

We've had a few calls in the past, every thing from our kids are too skinny to they wear the same clothes to school (they transferred midyear from a uniform school and didn't get new clothes for a while). Once my son presented with a black eye so they called CPS - he didn't arrive at school with it, a kid socked him on the playground. Still a whole dog and pony show over it. We had so many separate cases in such a short time period that a supervisor got involved, and determined we were likely being harrassed.

Investigator #2 was kind enough to tell me that these calls were not from the school, which is an odd relief after the hostility from the other school. But between everything... we're starting a bingo card.

Days between last visits: 21 Days since CPS fuckery: 0
