You’re supposed to use a clean one everyday and never use the same one for your face and body. Just buy a bunch of them. It’s really not that much of a hassle.

I think of that sometimes when I look at my students. Most of them are boys. Most of them are black and low income. They also have learning disabilities and/or “conduct disorders,” i.e. emotional issues. The deck is stacked against them. They are just kids, but not for long.

You mean scholars? How ignorant are you?

Oh, I did that about a year ago. Test results came back fine, so I think it’s just the meds.

Have you ever tried to committed suicide?, when i did it i did not think that i was being selfish at the time because i thought that ending my life was the best thing, i thought that everyone around me thought i was burden and i was just making things worse, i thought the best thing would be if i was not around. When…

Mixed feelings are pretty normal at a time like this. Both my folks are gone. It takes a lot of time to process all of it.

Meh, I’m Canadian, but the site is American and this is America’s happy day. People can start alternate discussions as they like.

Hi, fellow Bipolar person!

No, it’s weird. I’ve noticed it, too. I’m American and it’s not an American thing. It’s just a strange movie thing, and it drives me insane.

You’re cute. I promise, we say goodbye when we hang up the phone.

Brit Brit laid it down like a pro, but then ruined it for me with the hashtag. You can’t pull the Sweet Southern Belle “oh I’m so blessed” tone and then follow it up with a mic drop. We Southern Belles do not mic drop. We insult you in a subtle manner that leaves you thinking you were just complimented.

I have. In my job I meet and talk a lot with adolescent girls/young women and I've witnessed many girls who have picked up on this irritating habit.

Oh, I hope my kids are as good as yours, Diesel!”

As a woman planning a wedding right now, I struggled to make our small guest list work. I simply cannot afford to pay for meals for every single child of my friends. That would have upped my list by about 15. I don’t have the space or the money. Being offended that your children weren’t invited to a wedding is a…

I had a different take on Sonja. To me it didn’t really seem like she got backbone but that she was manipulated by Dorinda into exploding to deflect from people calling her out on drinking too much. It just made get look weaker and crazier rather than like a strong woman with backbone.

I would guess that it’s not arbitrary. When you host a party or event, you invite those who you want attend and no one else.

Guess what? People are allowed to invite whoever they want to the event they are paying for. They don’t want your crummy kids there? Then don’t go. Everyone is happy.

I don’t get this reasoning. Ultimately the decision of who to invite is up to the people hosting the event. This goes for any type of occasion wherein invitations are issued. It’s not super shitty, and it’s not in any way the business of anyone else as to why or why not someone made the cut. If someone doesn’t like…

Thing is, the wedding is clear across the state and every available, trusted sitter is also attending the wedding.

That’s always rough. The worst thing is when you find out about the depth of the hygiene problem at the worst time. Finding out via taste, in any way, is a horrible way and i’ve never been able to break the social contract and just exit the situation because i’m weeeeak.
