I’ve noticed that some of my bills update themselves these days, even. Such as, I didn’t change my address with my student loan servicer but they sure did find me! Hah

Sometimes you don’t even have to open them to know they’re a collection agency. Most of the misaddressed mail we get at my house goes straight to the trash because I own this house now, bitches! Not my problem if you can’t change your address like an adult.

I’m not claiming it by any means but I’ll try to spare the South Carolinians: the bathroom bill is an NC thing. Unfortunately.

I feel the same way about people who mistake Les Misérables for being about the French Revolution. It wasn’t!

Agreed, my parents shipped me some cans as a treat one time. One burst actually! I live in CO now so maybe the altitude/pressure got to it.

Another NC expat calling in just to say... I love you

For another suggestion of a quick and easy fix before you take them to the cobbler’s, try putting baby powder in them, all around the edge of the insole. This worked for me with a pair of flats. It provides a dry “lubricant” so the soles can slip past each other without squeaking. If that doesn’t work I bet a shoe guy…

No offense, but

I have no idea. I just can’t get my head around the concept of a family only baby shower that doesn’t include the mother of the new family member? Literally the one who is pregnant? Just, what?

Exactly! Hillary mentioned about her granddaughter and I thought, “Oh man that was probably great practice for this!” I imagine her listening face gets a lot of use around a 2 year old.

I think it’s predominately the former. There’s a significant amount of “I never said that” or “Of course I pay federal taxes” going on, to the point where it starts to seem like he doesn’t understand how video recording works. Every new moment, a blank slate for him, because he doesn’t understand that other people can…

Wow, that is wild! And harsh! And I really don’t understand the point she’s trying to make... as if a “one-on-one” “family only” baby shower wouldn’t include the mother of said child ?!

Really the only thing I don’t understand here is why you might need your butt contoured. My butt is in pants all day long, ain’t nobody gonna see all that hard work! What are you doing with your butt hanging out that you need to put makeup on it?

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!
