I would never personally get an animal from a breeder because I don’t have a super specific breed preference, but there are responsible breeders out there, and if you have a super specific breed preference, sometimes a breeder is the only realistic non-pet store option (For example, my bbf who loves schipperkes. Those…
My parents are people of their word, and they can certainly afford to do all that if they wanted to, but this world is so insane and fucked up and there is so much more to having a kid than just the expenses of college and day care that they offered to pay for. There is a lot of stress and worry and all that involved,…
My parents really tried to pressure me after I got married, but I’ve known for a long time that it isn’t something I wanted, and no amount of “we’ll pay off your mortgage” and “You’ll never have to pay for child-care or college because we’ll pay for it!” was enough to change my mind on the matter. It seemed like a bad…
I’m 1 of 3 and none of us have procreated. My older brother is in his 40's and married to a lady who had a kid from a previous marriage - that kid is in high school now and they aren’t having any more. My little sister is in her early 30's and in a long-term relationship with a guy that she loves but has no interest…
Yea....I’ve never wanted kids, and every time I see a friend who has them, I am just super glad I don’t have any myself all over again, because everything about parenthood just seems stressful and expensive. I genuinely don’t know how people do it. Regular kid-free adulting is hard enough for me.
I agree 100% though. It seems like he’s saying he enjoyed the fact that his actions made her cry.
I hear it had a laugh track. Laugh tracks in shows offend me because they are bad and dated. Also, I didn’t know he was a conservative until he started saying that’s why his show was cancelled. I’m guessing probably a lot of people are like me and learned that a) that show existed and b) Tim Allen is a conservative at…
To be honest, I hadn’t even heard of his show until it started making the news because it got cancelled.
The difference being the Starbucks baristas never said they wouldn’t serve coffee to right wing assholes and those people having them write Merry Christmas or whatever else on the cup doesn’t piss off the baristas (most likely, idk, I don’t know their lives but they didn’t design the cups that seem to offend all those…
Surely you have enough self awareness to recognize how very shitty that statement it.
TBH, the way she’s aging looks really familiar to me because someone I know got down to about 95 lbs while in the throes of an ED. She lost a lot of fullness in her face that didn’t really come back after she put some weight back on and was in recovery with her ED, and the cosmetic surgery she had to try and fix that…
Yea, I don’t obviously love rattlesnakes or scorpions for the venomous factor but they won’t send me screaming into the night like a spider would. I tell you, the best money I spend is the quarterly payment to the pest control company so that I no longer have spiders in my house. We live backed up against a wooded…
Even teeny tiny spiders will send me running in a full blown panic, but snakes don’t bug me either, I think they are kind of cool. I think the more legs it has the more i feel a gut NOPE reaction. I blame living in Texas a kid because once, a wild tarantula made a nest in a beach towel we had drying outside and I…
It was really not cool. We had words.
Yea she and I had serious words - somehow despite us being best friends for half our lives, she was under the impression that my spider phobia was more me being dramatic and less me having full blown panic attacks at pictures of spiders on facebook. She has not done it again so we’re cool, but i was not happy with…
UGH, this is not a friend thing to do. Although a friend of mine once spammed my facebook wall with spider pics on purpose because she thought it would be funny.
100% seconded on the spider panic attacks, and some people think it’s HILARIOUS to mess with me knowing that information. People that do that suck.
Monterrey/Carmel and surrounding areas can be pretty chilly. I made the mistake of thinking, oh it’s California! when packing for my brother’s spring beach wedding in Monterrey and ended up freezing cold and borrowing a really ugly sweater from my SIL’s mom because my cute strappy maxi dress was super not weather…
