A sincere acknowledgement of thanks doesn’t read like a form letter unless the writer is doing it purely out of obligation and appearances rather than meaningful honesty.

A genuine expression of thanks and acknowledgment doesn’t need to take a ton of effort for it to be appreciated.

Do people not do e-cards or emails anymore? It doesn’t take a ton of effort to do a bulk thank you email to everyone who was there. It doesn’t have to be personalized for every gift given to acknowledge people’s presence and their well wishes for your new marriage or baby or whichever event you’re celebrating. I just…

My dog overheated under the covers last winter. He’ll usually get out from under the covers if he’s not feeling it but I don’t know if it was because he was deep in sleep or what but I could hear him struggling so I pulled him out and he was so warm to the touch and dehydrated. From that point on if he wanted on the…

I have a package coming in tomorrow which I know I’ll receive on Saturday. I’ve taken their delivery confirmations to be when the post office scans it in and not when it’s actually at my door. It really sucks.

Ah yes, the guest gets it vs the host gets it vs I made it argument. If you’re always the one picking up the check, just take it.

The older I get the more I want experiences instead of just things. Just being able to meet up with my friends who are always busy with work, marriage and kids is nice so a dinner, brunch, cocktail party without the kids, all of that is so much more valuable than literally any physical gift. When it grinds down to…

They could have all gotten together to get one or two big toys or an experience or something or even a charitable donation in the name of the kid. It’s really weird what some parents encourage.

Activities, hebrew school, family friends, it all adds up I guess. I was blown away myself.

Oh I can imagine it’s still crazy. I went to a birthday party for a 4 year old last month and there were 50 kids which meant 50 gifts and at least 80% of them were toys. It’s getting ridiculous.

I remember using this in high school. It was pretty popular in my area so a lot of girls did including my very curly haired friend and she didn’t seem to have any issues with it but her hair was usually crunchy back then so maybe she made up for it in other ways. I remember what it looked like but not what it smelled…

My cousin won’t buy toys for her kids. Any toys they have they have received from family and friends. They still have plenty of toys to play with but nowhere near the amount that some other kids have so I think it’s a great way to approach it. I don’t know how other parents do it who cave in all the time rather than…

All of them. Efforts are simply limited by the financial ability of each piece of shit family.

4. Stop wishing for the parental relationship you see/think others have. Sometimes relationships are just what they are.

This is pretty on brand for the motivation behind rape as well as the parents who raise and protect their little rapists at all costs.

The one good quality that Satan’s butthole (aka my most hated boss) had were the chocolate bourbon balls she would make every holiday. They really got you buzzed which is exactly what I needed in that horrid office. I’ve seen a lot of rum ball recipes but never bourbon so I’m definitely going to try these without the…

LMAO I can’t wait to read the hysterical posts from my Australian cousin-in-law because the royals are taking attention away from her wedding weekend.

Pumpkin pie is trash! End of.

This one actually shocked me.
