I don’t know if all parents gaslight their children, but this sounds suspiciously like when I was a kid and my mom tried at every meal to convince me that I had always liked onions before, and hating onions was some new thing that I had just come up with on the fly.

Mad Madam Mim: The Revenge

She reminds me an awful lot of a friend of mine who has been married three times, but hasn’t been single since sometime in college. She starts dating her next spouses before ending her old marriages, every time.
Yes. I enjoy Eat, Pray, Love. I think it is well-written, and I would like to try out her fiction sometime, but I laughed (fine, I’m awful) at this line: ““If you have lost a loved one to death, and you thought you’d never love again...”
The carbon footprint is lower, the hassle is less, there are some beautiful stations (Union Station in LA), there are some gorgeous views, and it is much more comfortable than a plane. I usually fly, because I am usually traveling for work, and golly gee, I can’t get them to give me 24 hours of travel time each way…
Hey. Where’s the March Madness bracket for this year?
I gave up at about halfway. This was boring as shit.
Talk about your world-building! Take that, Tolkien! ;)
Having a kid has made me appreciate anew the importance of walls and doors. The kitchen is dangerous, and I wish it was easier to keep our daughter out. We’ve had to buy enough fencing to cut the living room in half to accomplish it. An entry hall would be amazing, because then I could remove my coat and shoes, sort…
Hello, three years ago! I’m just reading, and therefore just commenting, now, but I quite like the kitchens. The dining rooms aren’t great, but are also not the worst either.
I think it’s cute. The smaller ones look like young nasturtiums before they have bloomed.
“Ask them how their health care is. You won’t like the answer.”
Perhaps. Another thing I’ve read is that sugar substitutes may make people feel hungrier, because their body at first believes it has been given sugar, and later seeks to make up for those missing calories.
-You shouldn’t adopt more than three kids, and if adoption would bring the total number of children in your home to more than 4, no. Anything above that should be due to a special circumstance, (adopting quintuplets, you have 4 kids and your sister dies and you take her children in, etc), with special oversight. Who…
“While her huge eyes are unnerving, she can do nothing about that.” She could close them a touch.
She charmed people like George Schultz and Kissinger. These people worked for Nixon. They are bad judges of character.
Okay, I saw it. Her voice sounds like the creepy modulated voice you would be given by the local news station when you go on with your face all in shadow to tell on your boss for peeing in the premium roast coffee. Between that and her sociopath eyes I nearly slept with the lights on.
Sometimes I think about how my parents were noticeably concerned about my weight from an early age, but had soda around always, and never once encouraged me to do sports, or even let me do the physical activities I wanted to do (I was desperate for dance or karate classes). I know people like to blame Boomers for a…
My understanding is that a part of what makes sugar bad is how it affects your gut flora, and while there are no calories in your sugar substitutes, your gut flora treat them very similarly to real sugar.
You’ll burp less, but more catastrophically.
