Can I get a deliberation on some potential shade in my own life?

Schmeckles
My family is from Barbados and my maternal grandmother’s family were high-whites who arrived on the island in the 1600s. They almost certainly owned slaves. My grandmum definitely holds onto some old prejudices and could be described as a member of the “plantocracy” before it was dissolved with the crash of the sugar…
And they go off and kill defenseless creatures and show little remorse for it, like how my cat-creature does to the poor little birds sometimes.
Gal from Barbados here:
I work for a children's book publisher that excels at publishing hi-lo books (high interest, low vocabulary/reading ability) and I feel like we owe quite a lot of our publishing model to the Harlequin. We aren't as prolific, certainly, but we embrace the idea that the book doesn't have to be of high literary merit to…
I worked backstage at the ceremonies on costumes. One of my "jobs" was to wash the underthings of those hardworking lumberjacks from the giant inflatable beaver scene (featuring Michael Bublé, natch). It was very stinky work!
Wouldn't you say she would sigh at your "auntics"?!?
Much like Jia, I injured myself heading downhill on wheels. However, mine was in a go-kart on my cousin's farm. All the young'uns (I was about 13 at the time) were taking turns driving it around the yard and having a great time. Cue: my turn.
I have seen countless panda videos but I still can't get over my sneaking suspicion that they are all just people in costumes. Granted, I've never seen one live; I don't know if that would confirm my suspicions or alieve them.
I bought two VS bikinis last year for a trip to ol' homeland in the Caribbean.
Your kitty looks so much like my little meow!
Charms for sure! I was just actually talking about this with a Potterhead friend of mine. I was a major theatre and literature geek in high school and we agreed that it would directly translate to a talent for charms. (I'm still a big nerd, can you tell?)
My friend is their keyboardist when they tour. This is as close as I have ever come to the majesty that is Men Without Hats (besides being Canadian, natch)
Not a real break-up, but an older guy I was seeing asked me to go out "officially" while we were at a party. I told him I needed to think about it, so he left for a while to bone another girl in the backseat of his mom's van; young-Schmeckles was still a virgin and hadn't let this particular dudebro near her…
You and your granny... I just want to hug both of you!
I am totally guilty of this! I was always jealous of my freckly friends growing up and I would use a brown eyeliner to add a couple to my nose. You always want what you can't have!
He was asleep. In a terrible twist of fate, my own assault happened when I was asleep as well, although it wasn't my virginity and I wasn't a teenager. It's a strange thing to come together over but it's just one of the things that has really narrowed the distance between us.
My boyfriend lost his virginity in a non-consensual way when he was 15 to a 16 year old girl and his is still messed up about it. I don't care whether or not she is joking... this Schmeckles is PISSED
Sorry if I wasn't super clear, but that's what ours was too. It was only 5% (10%!?! That's an insanely high amount!) but it was on our sales. That's why I tried to explain, for the people who have never served, that because of the 5% of sales tip out, if a customer only tipped 10%, that means only getting half of that.
