My sister and I call each other "evil old woman considered frightful or ugly" approximately once a month.

A Hummer Grows in Philly

I don't understand your argument; did the note writer mention anything about the environment? #paintingwithabroadbrush

To me, it looks like downtown Austin, circa 1994.

So—you park on the sidewalk? What if someone in a wheelchair has to get by?

Mwah!!

Well, I am glad it helped and I know what you mean: my mom died a year ago when I was 47 and I feel like a lost little girl to this day. That is a deeply devastating, wounding and affecting loss, especially for a child who can't process it as "easily" as an adult. Hang in there and I'm sure she would be proud of your…

But nice guys always finish first...at least, they usually do. I grew up a lot after my first year and found a nice guy. I still had a ton of growth ahead but therapy and time got me through it. Still, I think these courses are very beneficial in the short and long term.

No, I agree with you for the most part, but I skipped over a lot of my behavior that is too embarrassing to admit. Nothing like cheating but mostly just not living with integrity, being obnoxiously immature to my friends and other BS that a course like this likely would have mitigated somewhat.

Oh, I'm so sorry about your loss. My parents divorced (fairly amicably) but it was in the 70s and no one knew how to help me when I was ten and I didn't know how to ask for help.

Great! It should be started early, IMO.

The kids at his school (Private, Episcopal) are very articulate about their feelings and I have to credit this program for some of that. It incorporates community time (sitting in a circle, rapping about the day), community service, advisories, team-building field trips, workshops on relationships and sexuality,…

I could have used this in high school; I was so immature when I went off to college that I did the typical boozing/getting laid schtick and really regret it. My son's school incorporates SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) into their curriculum starting in 1st grade and it is a fantastic program.

Exactly! It just seems so selfish.

Well, she has 13 other kids; might as well put them to work!

And people think that just because a woman can get pregnant means that the pregnancy will go well and that her health and physiology will be OK; any pregnancy at any age is a major issue. Carrying quintuplets at her age is dangerous for her and the fetuses.

ipod and satellite radio. I'm old so on satellite, I go between 1st wave (classic alternative like Duran, Cure, Siouxsie), classic rewind/classic vinyl (which can be very boring), 90s, 80s, 70s and 40s. And normal, jazzy jazz.

Dentists deal with anxious patients all the time; call ahead, explain your situation and ask for options. The more you are aware of the procedure and your choices, the better you will feel. Good Luck from Texas!

Did you grow up in the 70s? We had The Jeffersons, Good Times, What's Happenin', Chico and the Man, just to name four. Then Reagan was elected. I blame Reagan.
