Ghostbusters, I think

My grandfather died after my oldest was born, his first great grandchild. We lived in a different state and had been planning on bringing home the baby to meet the family the following month, at Christmas. He died less than a week before we were supposed to be there so he never got a chance to meet my son and vice…

The one that stuck with me from last year was the story about the kid wearing headphones and doing his homework with his back to his open door, and then finding the words LOOK AT ME written on his door along with a captains log for the hour prior. Freaked me the f**k out.

My sister and her husband are foster parents to two little girls, and have two biological children of their own. They are hoping to adopt the girls but needed a bigger house for that to be a possibility. They started searching and found a giant house that used to be owned by a group of priests in the area. They housed…

My aunt bought her first grandson a Polo by Ralph Lauren polo shirt. Not that I condone spending that much money on a shirt for a kid but it was well constructed enough that my cousin’s two sons wore it, then my three sons and two of my nephews wore it. It was still in great shape so I was able to donate it to kids in…

Agreed and I might have a slightly less relaxed attitude if he were in high school rather than elementary school. But either way, stressing out and upping our blood pressure (as you said) does little to help anything. And what he is not ‘learning’ in his Google Meets, he is getting in the real world. School hours are…

I keep telling myself that my job is to be his parent, not teacher. We give the teachers grace because they are doing all the hard things and our job is to support our kids and the teachers. We help where we can but, in my instance, a semester of 4th grade distance learning is not going to make or break his college…

Couldn’t agree more. My best friend since middle school and I recently found a box of notes we had written to each other from freshman to senior year of high school, and were completely mortified by our language and behavior back then. Not only were we basically babies with no critical thinking skills or impulse…

I live in a pretty red state in the Midwest and my favorite past time is wearing shirts that rile up the locals. I was wearing a t-shirt that has a picture of Jesus giving the finger guns with the caption ‘I never said that.”. I was in line at the grocery store and a stereotypical Karen was in line in front of me (the…

While I agree with you on almost all points, it IS the case. Top of mind, there are numerous posts about TikTok ‘stars’ and Instagram influencers that are under 18. Many celebrities are minors. Right, wrong or indifferent (but I also think wrong), minors are covered in all aspects of media.

Lots of people covered in the media are minors. Why should this one be different?

This made my morning. 

I doubt it. 

She is the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen and a former Kardashian clinger-on.

She was Kardashian adjacent but they all recently excommunicated her. She was also once married to basketball legend Scottie Pippen. 

I saw that and realized that could have been a photo of me from Homecoming in 1995, hair and all. It freaked me out.

I knew I was An Old when I looked at their videos and was like “Dancing? That’s not dancing! In my day...”. But seriously. I can’t call arm flailing and bouncing dance. 

I work for a large restaurant conglomerate and can tell you we have quietly released executives for these reasons and worse in order to a) not have the bad publicity and b) no one goes digging into the rest of the board or executive team lest their skeletons also be uncovered. It is easier all around for a payout and…
