Must be nice to only road trip between trader Joe’s & Whole foods. That’s not the world all of us live in.

Except not every airport/terminal does the same thing for screening. Some have these more automated bin moving things that seem to make everything slow down and you have to put every item, including suitcases, in a bin. Others start screaming at you when you put your shoes in a bin.

Have you ever flown out of LAX? Chilled water? Ha. You’re lucky if you can get a trickle of water to half fill your bottle at some terminals.

A bath in a nicely cleaned bathroom is so awesome. Totally worth it.

I love getting my green veggies in first thing in the morning! Kinda sets the food direction for the day and gives me some leeway in eating with others who don’t always want the amount of veggies I do. Bad salads are sad and common at places that don’t prioritize them.

With having to pay $4+ to wash & dry a load, the only whites I have can be tossed in with other stuff.

I’m in a long distance relationship and we both enjoy sending & receiving selfies since we often don’t see each other every day. Definitely not as good, but still a nice way to keep in each other’s lives.

Oddly enough I don’t seek relationships with people in this kind of situation, but most of my relationships have been with people like this. They aren’t white, but they feel white on some level because of growing up around white people/culture.

Why are swedish fish red??? Who is thinking of all the rest of the fish in the world?

It’s difficult territory to navigate sometimes. I personally lost my own dad in some ways pretty young with him dying when I barely started high school. I never had an adult relationship with my dad so sometimes I’m not really sure if it’s normal for my guy to help his adult daughter in some ways that I can only dream…

Focus on living your life and finding things you enjoy. I’ve personally never been on dating sites while my current partner was on many. Where did I meet him? Camping next to me at a festival.

Personally I just had to question why I had some standards. Some were in my head, but didn’t come from my own experiences.

Being ok with some baggage is key. I don’t mean in a “lower your standards!!” way though. More, it’s understanding I need to give some of what I hope to receive.

As a woman dating a never married dad, women often don’t want that competition for attention. Sometimes the mom can bring her own burden/drama. Some women don’t want you spending time on a kid that isn’t theirs. Some just don’t like kids and therefore don’t want their bf to have them.

The point is that you bought the ticket & ppl buy them because they need to be somewhere. The fact that it can be cancelled & the airlines can shrug and their responsibility is over is kinda fucked up. I guess you volunteer every time to give up your seat, right?

You don’t get it. I hope your life never gets the giant fucking wrenches thrown in it like my entire childhood. My grandfather and dad died in the same week from completely unrelated things among other chaos. How the fuck do you plan for that and the time off needed? You must be a pleasure... You make it sound like…

I appreciate your compassion in understanding how the laws in the US affect on children’s ability to grieve in placing hurdle after hurdle in front of a mother. You’re a real winner.

You are extremely delusional about the control people have over these decisions. Companies are in way more control and as this article points out, they legally have very few requirements and the consumers have very few choices when push comes to shove. Who the fuck plans for their ex husband to die at 40 without a…

I’m not bringing new issues up - I mentioned all of these things previously when explaining why this issue is only being considered from very limited perspectives that ignore many elements of US culture. Perhaps you can read the whole thread and consider how interconnected these issues are and stop pretending people…

I got a single day of bereavement when grandparents die. 0 for people like cousins or aunts and uncles - people I literally grew up living with. But hey, ignore the fact that people don’t get enough vacation to pad the trip to the funeral and another day to pad on the way home because who knows if I’ll get kicked off…
