I devoured the books as a child, but I never had a doll. I did have a paper doll set. Even as a little kid I knew the dolls were pretty expensive, and just stuck to off brand ones. I was WAY more interested in the books/ knew the books were a more likely gift.

I work in a restaurant, and I always kind of have a minor freak out if people leave most of their food. Was is bad? Was it too spicy? Can I fix it?

I had a friend who used to do this. He dropped a friend off in front of his house, drove away, and then the friend was mugged. Since then he refused to drop anyone off at a corner, or leave before watching them enter their house.

Do republicans think filing for bankruptcy multiple times is a good thing???

You’re right. I was hit by a car as a kid with a broken hip+concussion and I was less bruised than this. I’m so glad she’s talking about this.

Looks more like a run down drive in cinema.

Lol, I had a boss with a name that translated to unfortunately in German.

This is pretty great. I’m going to need a class or something when I have kids in school. I don’t remember most of the math I learned in high school.

What? ?? I missed this. It sounds awful

Yeah, I hope that there is this. I remember the kids who did karate would get in fights in my school (and they always lost...) I think if a gun is involved it could end way worse than the school yard fights I saw.

Yeah, this seems jerky on her part . His boundaries seemed clear.

My mother once threatened to move us all to Germany because my brother and I didn’t want to eat cabbage.

Yeah, I have a lot of non-catholic friends who went to catholic school because the course work was better than public school. Also, most of my friends who went to these schools even received better sex ed than I did because the schools just have an outsider come in and answer any questions the kids have.

Oh, that happened to my dad, I think in the 60s. It was a tiny Catholic town, and my grandmother wouldn’t have it, she made them stop trying to turn him right handed. My dad says the nuns suddenly left with no notice when he was in highschool. My dad was a bit of a rebel, he wrote a paper about why he didn’t believe…

I’m glad my ex doesn’t really use facebook/meet with friends (yeah not making new friends since high school should be a warning sign of something.) So I never see him. Though I did have to unfriend people/unfollow because a guy stalked me HE kept popping up on my page even though we weren’t friends.

Maybe go over that you can say ‘no.’ at any time. Or if you’re uncomfortable at any time say stop. I was pressured by so many people just to go along with things I had already said no to. But I’m not sure how you’d explain that to a child. I was 19 when I was assaulted. Affirmative consent was not a term I had ever…

I really wish your daughter the best. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this.

This is absolutely horrifying. I hope your family members are able to heal, that that you’re okay too.

Oh gosh, I feel ya. The morning after I kicked the guy who assaulted me out of my room (I faked an asthma attack...) a mutual friend BURST into my dorm-apartment (like no knocking) and starting going on about how ‘I wanted whatever happened last night’, and another friend bumped into me a few days later and said ‘hey,…

I hope you’re okay. Figuring out these things can also be very stressful. Wishing you lots of love <3
