We got our youngest a Teddy Ruxpin because she insisted (held us as emotional hostages). What a creepy, creepy creation! It would come on by itself, and I’m still not certain exactly what it was telling her when we weren’t around.

Yes!! Bravo! You couldn’t be more right that handicraft hobbies are more about the doing than the end product. And that cardigan looks amazing. Well done.

Singing the wrong songs. I’ve been building my “Don’t sing at the airport” playlist for a while:

It’s up to you. I like making fast food favorites. Just the other day I made my own version of a Mexican pizza with chicken and shrimp, instead of ground beef. I also used to store bough bag salad, enchilada sauce, flour tortillas and taco seasoning. The only thing I made was chicken, shrimp, and fried the tortillas.…

Hawaii McDonalds still deep fry the apple pie (which, as I overheard one customer explain to the poor counterperson, is a turnover and not a pie). They also have taro, haupia, and the rare mango pie.

At least right after they dropped them, I was able to get them to custom-make double deckers still. Haven’t tried in a while. Those were my go-to!

“trio of Meximelt, Mexican Pizza, and either a Double-Decker Taco or Enchirito”

Yep - they DID indeed used to fry them - I started in early 1990's, and they were fried (and were bubbly crispy face-meltingly wonderful).  They switched to baked in mid/late 1990's, and they are much less likely to cause facial burns, but I would risk severe burns just for how great the fried ones were!

You have a salad in a cup but don’t have the Taco Bell 7 Layer burrito. This isn’t a serious list.

2018? Oh, sweet child! The McDonald’s apple pie was dead long before that. The OG McDonald’s apple pie was deep fried, and yes, it was as good as it sounds.

from 2003-2012 I worked management for gamestop, and while working in a mall for at least half of those years, my regular one meal break (across a 10-14 hour shift) would involve a tremendous amount of taco bell. the usual order? -

Schedule send is such a great feature, I don’t use it often but I love it when I do - I can write up a text at 2am when I actually think of it but tell it not to send until like 9:07am (9:00 on the dot looks too fake).

More add views for them while they also post articles about how to bypass ads on YouTube.

Once again, it’s an awkward time to be Jim Gerbengorb or whatever his name is. What a great fucking song.

Defusing it by refusing to show the bullying works, even if it does, is the key. The bullies figure out it’s pointless pretty quickly, and either escalate — making it more likely that they’ll get caught with real consequences — or, more likely, they move on.

Our son started getting verbally bullied in fifth grade and…

Solid advice. I’ll add, if it gets physical, fight dirty. Eyes, throat, etc. Groin on a male.

As one who was bullied mercilessly, I learned some ways to get them to stop, but it always ends with the same thing: You have to have the last word. It ends up being how you get there that can change. Here are a few things I did:

The straights are not okay. I say this as a straight person who is THISCLOSE to cross-stitching “damn it feels good to be a spinster” on a throw pillow. But part of this “trend” is simple narcissism exacerbated by the siren’s call of social media, which is hard for someone of any sexual orientation to resist.

Most pranks are shitty and mean. I don’t like them.

Who are these people...
