Costco actually is moving in more organic options and taking out some less healthy choices. My husband worked there up until November and did stocking and inventory for the foods department. It's a company wide thing but they're starting in larger markets first.

Ignoring the fact that I'm probably engaging a troll, I'd much rather discuss what should be done for people already here. First, a clear path to residency for people here more than 10 years with an existing case with ICE (meaning they've started the process and most likely have some kind of documentation). Asylum for…

I don't feel guilt, I feel shame. And my father got his green card 2 weeks ago after a 30 year legal struggle at detention in an ICE prison for 4 months 2 years ago. And I don't care what you think about them, you don't want them here that much is clear so again fuck off if you're unwilling to see that it's not so…

It is far more nuanced that that. For the record, my parents came here fleeing the civil war in El Salvador that spanned 12 years -a war that the US played a large role in starting and funding. The US policies in the region directly created the circumstances which caused the war, a mixture of resource exploitation and…

I usually end up finding out who my true friends are when illegal immigration debates happen. My parents are both "illegal" and though I'm a citizen I have trouble calling myself American, mostly because so many Americans hate me and my family for existing on US soil. No one who can look at things like this and hear…

Kinja hates me...

Yeah I would question the maturity of anyone willing to put up with that longer than a year. Splitting an apartment is cheaper and you aren't subjected to food prepared by people who can barely cook rice correctly. A friend of mine who I worked with vat the student store was an RA there for my wing. He was a pretty…

I lived in Cloyne for 4 months. First night there, some asshole vomitted in our sink and clogged it. Guy next door to me sold drugs. I babysat my roommate out of fear she'd get raped since she got recklessly friendly when drunk (which was every weekend). I moved out and got my own apartment a mike from campus on San…

My family doesn't buy into the whole American wedding thing. The only things that matter to our families are the church, food, and booze along with having everyone there. The other things that make up the wedding-industrial complex aren't what kept us from having a wedding. We didn't want a church wedding or a party…

I don't drink. PTSD thanks to my abusive alcoholic father, but I don't need to drink to bitch.

I don't think I will ever understand the logic behind treating someone that way. It's ridiculous. Full disclosure: I'm pretty sure my MIL and her parents dislike me primarily for being Salvadoran and then for not being good enough for their favorite.

I thought my MIL liked me, but the more time passes the more I'm sure she doesn't.

Oh my wedding would've been just that and I didn't want it. I have PTSD around drinking so any booze would've triggered stuff for me. We're both agnostic atheist and raised Catholic. Both families wanted a church wedding, we didn't. And our families never liked the music we listen to...

Your situation sounds similar to but shittier than mine. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Yeah my husband's side of the family is huge and super set in tradition. If we told them it would've exploded into this stressful thing. My MIL still gives us crap for it, but she's the primary reason we eloped. She's one of 13 and my husband is his grandparents' favorite. The invites on his side of the family…

Exactly what I did. The backlash was worth the money, time, and stress saved. We both hate parties anyway.

Despite all the shit I got and still get for eloping, I would never trade it for having to plan a wedding.

I've beenubt this will ever be seen, but I just opened up an unfinished book I was working on. It's the only thing I ever wrote that survived a robbery from 2012 where I lost my computer and my hard drive that had all the backups if everything I'd ever written (including tge completed first draft of my memior). I…

2gether.
