I didn’t get spanked that often, but I earned every one of them. My mother was a single parent, and even though she had a horrible childhood full of abuse, she did not abuse me. I’m a well adjusted individual with no lingering trauma from being disciplined as a child. I earned every single one of them, and to be…

I wish I had used that one. We had a substitude one day and some fool in my class acted up. The next day, our very angry teacher wanted a 500 word essay on proper behavior for 9th grade students. I gave her 500 words on how she had no control over the class and that I, and many of my classmates, resented being…
I know a few indie artists and I buy hard media from them directly. I also contribute to funding projects when I can. Their overhead is lower in many ways and they make more than they ever would if I listened to them on a streaming service.
Sounds like she should have included a list of her triggers in her initial email. Then he could have let her down gently, or at least given her a warning first.
It doesn’t work in every situation, but I know parents who have done it. Anything to help it worth it.
Put your name and phone number on it in a text file or as the device name and clip it to your toddlers clothes. If you get separated there is an easy way for someone to help find you.
I have a touch screen Lenovo that I bought for a single purpose. I never use it. A touch screen laptop would make me twitch. I don’t mind fingerprints on a tablet because that’s how you interface with them. Having fingerprints all over my laptop screen would drive me insane. Yes, it’s an OCD thing.
All over my meal at an indoor picnic at a local church. It was years before I could eat lamb again, and I never went back to that church.
If you want to do something stupid, go back to planking, or owling.
Someone buy that poor girl a cuddle bear and give her a safe space where she won’t have to deal with reality. Shame on that hotel owner for not giving her a trigger warning that real life can sometimes suck for the self entitled.
I’m not sorry to see her go. She was a token for him, nothing more. My first impression of her was that she’s horrible, and years later she’s only reinforced it.
If you support his position as a victim of his own choices, then by means, call me an asshole. I hope it gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling deep down inside.
No, I just have pretty low tolerance for those who play the victim to their own circumstances. Boy meets girl. Girl has dogs. Boy hates dogs. Boy stays with girl even thought he hates dogs. Boy proposes to girl, even though he knows she has dogs, that he hates. Boy wants to end the relationship if girl doesn’t get…
So dude proposed to a woman who loves dogs. I presume she had them before he did that, and now he wants to call off the whole thing. What a coward. I was bitten on my head by my grandmothers dog when I was a small child. It was 100% my fault. To this day I’m cautious (and respectful) of large dogs, but I’m not…
Friends of mine were raising dogs and insisted on the raw diet. It’s far too much protein in my opinion. They decided to get the male dog a new metal collar. He was a year old and had grown so much that the 30 inch chain would not fit over his skull. They had to cut it off. His skull was 36 inches at the widest point.…
It’s creepy to suggest someone as a friend when the last time we spoke was before Facebook existed and we no longer have contact information for each other. No FB apps on any of my mobile devices.
I don’t use Siri that often, but I prefer the British male voice as well.
The FIRST time someone puts their hands on you must be the LAST and ONLY time they do it. There is no excuse for it, no justification, no anything. It should be an absolute line in the sand that is never crossed. Leave now and don’t look back.
I’ve been Wal-Mart free for about 12 years and I don’t miss it at all. One of the local stores is the number one destination for the police - city wide.
