My parents got married on the first of april 1953. And then they had me. I’m still trying to come to terms with that.

I hope you can find a place to keep on practicing because pottery is so rewarding but you will have to put in the hours of practice...Good luck my fellow potter!

Coal mining is being perceived as a masculine, white and traditional occupation. That’s why it is symbolic. Meanwhile, the jobs of the largely female work force of JCPenney do not have the same value in the eyes of the current administration.

That’s because working in a coal mine is a proper job that seperates the men from the boys! Only women and pussies work at a department store! The service economy is killing traditional masculinity! Real men proudly earn their lung cancer by slaving away in the dark like their fathers and grandfathers before them!…

Yeah he always seemed like he was way out of his depth, and just doing as he was ordered. Possibly a nice guy in private...

Wow, Stunning voice. Put tears in my eyes. I need to hear more from her!

The only thing I associate bowling with is awkward annual company events. Can’t hit the broad end of a barn, so it always was really embarassing. Plus you would have to drive yourself home afterwards so no drinking.

That brings things right back. My first car was not even a FIAT Panda. It was the even cheaper Spanish version of it, the SEAT Marbella. It had a rear seat that could be taken out and rolled up, and it was actually a cracking little car, except for the engine sometimes dying in the middle of a highway and the way the…

Hey good luck with the pottery! Centering is hard, isn’t it? Don’t give up!

There really should be a way for long-time grey Kinja users to appeal for ungreying....Anyway, good luck!

Looks like she hasn’t shown up. And I’m quite guilty of hoping for her return because her rants were amusing- I’m not doing that better than thou thing here! But- maybe she finally managed to move on with life, maybe she got the help she very obviously needed. Maybe she got over things.

Sitting back waiting for the crazy chick to show up.

yes, I saw that too. Absolutely heart breaking.

well yes, but hell yeah am I glad this guy didn’t have a way of obtaining a gun. It’s bad, but it could have been so much worse.

the people with “life changing” injuries. They are the ones we should hear about, but we usually don’t. the dead are dead, and therefore easily quantifiable. But the ones that are living- they suffer, and have a terrible time ahead of them.

FYI I’m from the Netherlands and I see these here fairly often. Grief is an universal thing.

I still regret not wanting to spend the money to take that hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings when I was there back in 2014. I know I will never go back to Egypt- it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Yes. That.

Breast milk did not work for my sister’s children at all. She did not have much of it. Her little boy was losing weight. So, she gave her son and later her daughter formula, and they have now grown into healthy, tall, intelligent teenagers. Are you really saying she did the wrong thing? Because it sure sounds like it.

There is no doubt that some mothers can feed their baby, and also sell superfluous milk. But who checks that? The pressure on Cambodian mothers to sell milk their own babies need may be great because of the extreme poverty that they face.
