Try unsweet tea and sweet tea vodka, plus lemonade. Not too sweet. Just right.

Thought a long time about which was worse and which would cause more damage... as an emotionally abused child, I really couldn’t figure out which was worse. Abuse of any kind takes a toll for the rest of your life.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when my bestie got a subscription :-)

Your daughter’s awesome, and the mere fact that you were able to recognize the pattern in your own life and give her the tools/ability/support to handle it is also awesome. Way to go!

I’m very sorry, I have a similar mother, and it sucks. I hope that you can find a relationship status with her that works for you. Mine is no contact and blocked everywhere except email just in case someone dies. I don’t have kids but if she tried that shit with mine... well.

THIS. There’s a lot of complaints about the type of people who own these and the assumptions we can make about them, but no one is addressing that cloth purses and wallets can get so gross! And it’s such a pain to wash or clean them!

Garden & Gun is a great replacement and has fantastic recipes :-)

I mean, it kind of seems like you just live in a town with a lot of tone-deaf assholes? And that you think their stupidity emanates directly from the style of bag they happen to carry? As if they wouldn’t be tone-deaf if they carried a Michael Kors?

Completely agree... there’s nothing more infuriating than learned or pretend helplessness.

I am so sorry. Stay safe! Water works on witches but I hear you need gasoline to kill clowns :-(

Unless you’re in a town the size of Asheville or Wilmington (or larger), you’re probably in a seriously red county in NC. Boone notwithstanding, NC is very red everywhere except what could be termed the “major cities.”

Seriously! Was on the phone with my dad last night as he was trying to find gas... he jokingly compared it to the 70s, but the politics and the situation both fit, unfortunately.

Yeah, Liz always seemed to me like she was about 3 steps away from a nervous breakdown; a bodily state which can really kill some calories!

I’m with you

I know you know this is a joke, etc, but if you look for it, you can see that the little blue check mark that means verified twitter user isn’t on these tweets, and it is on Trump’s actual twitter. That’s what tipped me off. Some of these have been very convincing!

Lived in a house that was subdivided into 3 rooms down, enter from front or back, and 3 rooms up, only enter from the back. I lived in the upper part with 2 girls I didn’t know. One had a cat, which I am allergic to - ok, just keep it out of my room and I’ll keep the door shut. More than once came home to that cat on…

Lumbee is a designation that came years later for this group... the idea that the Roanoke colonists found a local tribe, combined forces, and that the Lumbee were their descendants was a specious theory by a Reconstruction era Democrat to encourage racial disharmony between recently-freed slaves and the “Indians.”…

Boo, I am sorry!

I am so ready for it. I’ve started just calling people out to their faces and I definitely get a reaction but at least they know they shouldn’t say that shit around me. Plus there are SO MANY BETTER INSULTS.

My first memory of being called a bitch because I didn’t automatically move over into the window seat on a school bus... in 7th grade
