After the babies were born, I'd sometimes forget about them—not in a leave-them-in-the-car way, but, like, when they'd wake me up at night I'd be confused for a few seconds. "What the fuck is that godawful noise? Oh, yeah... it's you. You're a thing."

I WISH I'd been raised to say no. Not to please everyone. Took a long ass time to determine and understand my worth and the power of that worth. Good on that mom. And both of these teens are LUCKY to have an adult lay it out like it is and now how we hope things will be.

I'm so sorry. Hugs.

Not a pineapple fan unfortunately! My friend also loves the sandia lollipops but they also aren't for me.

There was a loooong discussion about this on another Kitchenette post recently. The order you describe is only weird if you assume that the only reason someone would order a Diet Coke is to save calories. But many of us actually like the flavor of Diet Coke better.

Last time I flew (10 hour flight) I saw someone wearing a ballcap put their blanket over their head. I tried it and slept great. With earplugs, it's like being in your own dark little private room.
