911 may route you to a county dispatch, but it is an emergent situation to the driver and an escalating situation to an officer who has no idea why the car isn’t stopping. *77 might not work in all areas, but 911 is universal in the US.

Call 911 and tell them you are being stopped but don’t feel safe. They will instruct you. Know that your cell call may be dispatched to county as opposed to the town you are in, so know where you are, or if you can, see what town the car is from. Never pull over for an unmarked car - ever. Dispatch will know if the…

Going with the tried and true “I am too stupid to have raped because I have no idea how any of this works” defense.

That’s a prerequisite when I’m making hats and stuff for other people. I’ve found some nice yarns that have threads of black and grays running through pinks and beiges, which is perfect because I have a black dog that sheds. I do wash my hands before crocheting though because no one wants a hat that smells like pad…

That is difficult. I’m sorry your family is going through a rough time. We are similarly spread throughout the country. Texting and phone “dates” work the best for us, but of course, that always can’t happen. Be good to yourself, and she’ll understand your need for self care activities.

No. Just, no. My kids are still teens and we have a firm “no details” rule. They know they can come to me with anything and I even pay for birth control because it’s cheaper than an abortion, or god forbid, a grandchild.

Your mother should not be putting her problems on you to the point where you are having panic attacks. That is so unhealthy. Please take care of yourself, even it means a text saying “so sorry you are having trouble right now! I’m kind of involved in something else right now, I’ll call you Monday night” or whenever.…

My parents were pretty awful to me during that time and I had to call home every other day. And my mom would purposely call at 7am on a weekend just to say “hi!”. My roommate hated me with good reason.

I do that with my mom too - even though she cheats. We probably talk about once every week or so. Depends on what’s going on. (I’m 43 - I called my Dad when I was in college. He was much easier to deal with and would tell my mom that I called)

It’s hard to make the transition from high school to college. His increasing independence is a positive thing - it means that you have done a really good job raising him. Talk to him about your concerns. My sons have been receptive to the “lots of changes, please just let me know you are alive”. My oldest is in…

I don’t think he knows that that word doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

Mortality for humans is 100% Woah.

Does she even go here?

This whole campaign gives me shpilkis in my genechtagazoink.

Grandparents = raised by Russian Jewish socialist immigrants who worked in sweatshops. Parents = think this Trump guy really says what we are “all thinking” But it’s my Grandma who is in The Home. SMDH.

You know he schmoozed with whitefish salad breath. I’m vomiting.

Ooo.. I have brown yarn. Hope it’s cold enough to wear to the movie.

My Dad took me to all the 70s and 80s scifi movies. My brother came along when he was old enough and whined through Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (Not that I blamed him, he was 5 and it *was* boring).

“Into the garbage shute, Flyboy”

Liked the JJ reboot - Uhura written an exolinguistic specialist and not the spaceship phone operator, which is pretty awesome.
