Was the other one Kale?

Yeah, my dad has always been a wonderful father, to me at least (I suspect there are some deep issues between him and my brother, who was seven or so when my parents began to split and ten when they actually moved away from each other. It was a pretty long and painful process). I have no plans to cut him out of my…
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. My father lies to me about little things in his life— what kind of apartment he's living in, etc— which would require admitting he's living with this woman. I know he's lying, and he knows that I know. And it just feels so wrong. But I actively do not want to ever meet her. As I…
No. I don't ever want to know her, or know anything about his life with her. (I do know her name— but everything I know about her, I know from my mother, who has primary custody of my brother, who goes to visit my father and this lady on occasion.) As far as I'm concerned, she is a non-person. She will never be…
Ughh... how long did it take you? I'm about to ask for some advice here.
Two years ago I was Sexy Groucho Marx for Halloween. Fake moustache and eyebrows, phallic cigar, amped-up cleavage, etc. It was pretty awesome.
Like I say elsewhere— I've never done retail (only food service) so I don't know how retail checkout works precisely. All I know is that a very large luxury purchase on a temporary card with no name attached *does* strike me as potentially suspicious.
Yes, but pre-paid isn't identity theft. For example: If you steal a pre-paid card, that's the same as stealing cash. There's a limit to how much you can spend, it's not trackable, etc., and if there's money on the card the store can be sure it's getting paid. Stealing someone else's debit or credit card and/or…
I don't do retail, so I don't know specifics of how the POS systems work for them— all I know is that a temporary card with no name on it making a very large (luxury) purchase does strike me as suspicious, no matter who's doing it. (Plus showing ID is all well and good, but if there's no name on the card to match the…
I'm sure the cashiers have been taught to, in the event of suspected theft/fraud, to just alert store security and let them handle it. It's usually pretty standard for companies to not want their regular workers to get involved because of risk of injury/mishandling/lawsuits. Clearly in this case it was mishandled…
To be fair, the girl who bought the handbag apparently did so with one of those temporary debit cards which didn't have her name on it. That in and of itself is a little suspicious.
Well, anecdotal evidence gives this a big fat yes. When we first started dating, blackbirdboyfriend gave me so much shit for walking slow (I don't walk slow, he just walks really fast. All my height is in my torso, dammit!). But if I tried to keep up with him, I got out of breath and cranky. So he learned to match me.
My sister's name is "Isabelle," but for some unknown reason she chooses to go by "Bella." I'm really hoping she's not a secret Twihard.
Clyde?!?!
My mother only changed her last name when she was preggers with me, and only because she thought that her last name sounded odd with the name they had picked out for me (I'm the oldest child).
WHAT ABOUT DISCO FRIES
Ugh, that's really awful about the theatre tech thing. It's actually a really well paying industry if you know your shit— union members make in the six figures, easy. I have a friend who basically flunked out of high school because he spent too much time focusing on his tech stuff with our (very well funded) drama…
Your description of her read like a cooler version of the high-schoolers talking about Regina George.
