Excellent plan! I found it super sweet, but the girls just hadn't considered that a week before was sort of prime getting-shit-done time. If they had tried to spring it on me as a surprise, I think I would have probably had a bit of a meltdown and felt super guilty.
Can I suggest gently getting one of you to float the general idea of a weekend away bachelorette party? No specifics or anything, but just enough to find out how that would work with the bride's plans. I just mention it because I just found out that some friends were trying to plan one for me. It would be taking me…
You're awesome, and that was by far the best way to respond to that guy. Enjoy your cheesecake of victory!
So, for scifi meets social issues, Atwood's recent trilogy, starting with Oryx and Crake, is an excellent blend of readability and social commentary.
Back when I did childcare, a ratio of 20:2 at the age range you're talking about didn't meet my province's childcare licensing requirements... Any chance that your anonymous complaint could just focus in on the issues someone else, like a parent, might have been able to notice/report?
I am a West Coaster, and I may be socially awkward in that I find hugging to be the damned weirdest thing to do with people I've just met. Like, I just met my sister-in-law's new squeeze, and we were out for an evening, and we all got nice and sauced and fun and jokey, and even then, I was all "oh, I guess we're doing…
I think your tannins hang out with my tannins. They give me the same line. And I listen. Boy do I listen...
So, the thing with SSRIs is that you get the side effects before the effects. You do have to knuckle through the first bits. Usually, the side effects go away and the effects start kicking in and it makes everything a lot happier. If that doesn't happen, you might want to talk to your doc about switching to another…
I at first thought you'd said that you'd had love songs written AT you, and I nodded and thought "That's EXACTLY what it is." While I have a ton of gushy romantic songs that I love, it's not always the most romantic thing to have the song be written about you.
I am so so sorry to hear about this happening to you. It's scary to wake up from a black out either way, and this is just a whole other level to it.
"Oh, in a week? about 15-20 glasses. What?"
Have you tried shaving your pilling clothes? If you take a razor (not, you know, one with the lotion strips, just a regular one) and gently use it against the grain of the fabric, it can take care of the pills.
That was my favourite part. This could be either the icing on the cake or the biggest red flag out of a whole UN-sized collection of red flags. Or both.
I'm in a similar boat, for sure. I agree with MagratMakeTheTea, if you're feeling this way, you do need to have a conversation with him, to keep the lines of communication open. Make sure you time it when it's not late at night and he's just getting home, or he may go on defense and not listen. But you need to let him…
English teacher here! And yes, it is incredibly hard sometimes. Especially if this is your first year, because you have to be building lesson and unit plans from scratch on top of the day-to-day management and grading. You're laying the foundation for your future years being easier by slogging right now.
Do you think this douche was the inspiration for Gilbert Smythe Bite-Me?
This may be slightly out of left field, and has nothing to do with Stephen King, but I just wanted to give you a general hat-tip for your commenting style. Your name is one of the ones I always look for in the comments because your responses are always very well thought-out, nuanced, and reflective. Whenever I see one…
Yup, I've started flagging career training program ads as well. I now get ads about switching banks, insurance rates, and the 2014 Fiesta. Basically, according to Facebook, I am very very boring.
