It has to do with working with/purchasing from businesses outside of the state. Would you be doing any of that?

America is weird, but Texas is extra-terrible. We have a congressional branch that’s full of dipshits like Phil King who works furthering voter discrimination laws, and Brandon Creighton who supports the 20-week abortion ban, and is pro-Confederate statues, who are the co-authors of this total farce.

I work with a company that does a lot of purchasing for schools and governments in Texas, this certification is everywhere. It basically prevents you from doing any sort of public business unless you sign a document saying you support Israel. It’s fucking ridiculous. Right above the no foreign terrorist organization…

False. Diane is the real winner, always.

Sounds like silly putty in our house! You were some creative kids making paint with it.

I’m so glad someone else is asking this important question. Girl is in “fashion”, and her outfit looks like her mom doesn’t like her very much, and asked her to wear it for school photos. 

Can confirm, bought a Fingerling and a Play Dough set for my niece (both reasonably priced), thank goodness I don’t have to deal with anything that poops goo.

That’s fair, though the chocolate oranges usually hold up well since they’re “fresh” for Christmas. I’ll still take a little dry dark chocolate over the cloying sweetness that is milk chocolate any day. 

This is correct. *Dark* chocolate oranges.

Poor guy. :(

I feel you.

In no way am I trying to detract from the impact of your message, but I had to add this .gif. I think of it all the time, and wonder why people are continuously shocked by bad decision making in the church.

I am now furious that I do not live in Glasgow and cannot have their doughnut pairing. BOOOOO

This is a really sweet story, and a great photo!! So glad you were able to meet him at this crucial point in your life. (And a little jealous.) Hope you’re in a much better place!

Woah. No need to rehash right here, but have you ever shared this story before?

So, so terrible. No thank you, all the way around.

This is my actual nightmare. If I was in hell, this is what I would be doing. Your poor friend. :(

I’m actually thrilled to have a husband who isn’t preachy about anything, but just DOES half of the house work. We don’t have children, and I don’t feel like I take on more emotional labor at all. We are both faaaar from perfect, but we have this in sync, and I’m so grateful all the time.
