Sunstanceless crushes, those we’re the days! It’s a real thing, having sonic burps, right? The mint is , but, I’m calling shade on that guy. Would they police guy stranger girls, I think not.

I was once teetering home in my early 20’s with a buddy after a semi boring night of drinking and dancing at pubs in a cheesy suburb (think Strong Island meets the Jersey Shore) when a Joey-Bag-a-Donuts starts calling out to my friend and I. He was showing off for his friends and trying to imply that he knew us,…

one drop. An actual drop.

She is a calculating sociopath. To have the balls to pull this off even though she is clearly white shows she is capable of anything.

Thank you for responding with your experience. When did you and your spouse decide? How long did you discuss? Was there something that just let you know it was the right choice?

All this I understand. No longer identifying or following Jewish traditions is a choice. It does seem strange to try to prevent that with elaborate dating schemes. Is that what summer camp has been about? Bc seriously so many Jewish friends married their camp bf/ gf. It’s a beautiful culture. I just wonder if there is…

Can’t you maintain culture and religion if it is important to you? Like, my kids wont be pale ass blonde blue eyed people. They will be brown eyed and darker complected than me but my culture I can still pass down. I can still introduce them to religious faith. So, what? What are you saying? I am attending a wedding…

Oh, man. Military family here too and YES to everything you said. Always use an opportunity to display sexy Jesus.

I have been there too. The fact that it was EVIDENTLY true is kind of what makes the announcement so ick. It kind of smacks of jingoism, eugenicism... its different if other people make an observation. To raise yourself up as an ideal is super unattractive.

They ARE beautiful. But that is self evident. Announcing it to a plane full of people makes me want to say “okay, have a seat”. Ditto that to any group of people who claim more than the average share of beauty among their people (looking at you Scandinavians, jk, seriously all nationalities do this and it is always…

No! He was right! It was the jingoism that kinda made my skin crawl! Also the gross adoration of the lady. It was so contrived and smug and icky. Overly comentary situations and self congratulation always makes me super grossed out.

Drooling old lady was also embarassingly eager.

Possible. But, they were really beautiful. Like, they had to know. I took it as genuine lack of humility which was just awkward and uncomfortable. They seemed pretty self important and shallow which is unattractive on anyone.

Here’s one: on a domestic flight I once witnessed two tall dark and handsome dudes walk on during boarding and an annoying lady said “oh, my, how handsome you both are!” and the first dude replied with heavy Israeli accent “we are Israeli, we are all beautiful”. To this day all I can think about that exchange is:…

Do you mean the flippant decision to have a kid by unprepared bio parents is what results in kids in foster care?

Right. Hmm. My husband would be the best dad to a kid from the system. He has a sense of going without having to make do. He’s silly and funny and just “gets” kids. We talk about it. We only have a one bedroom at the moment. We talk about it. Its frustrating to think of people passing judgement and reducing the pool…

Have you adopted? Just curious how the professional and personal experiences compare. My friends who were adopted have varied reports of what their experiences were like. I worry that if I have a biological child and adopt that may be hard to for the adopted child to come to terms with. I want to experience pregnancy…

I had a close friend do this to my husband and me. She said we were selfish and narcissistic to make a new baby when there were so many to adopt. I asked her if she, a white woman who got a free ride to college bc her mother is a prof and got decent nest egg upon graduation felt she was a eugenicist to tell my…

Whaaat!!!!!!!!! and Wow.

It only takes one. I had similar thoughts from time to time. Hang in there.
