You don’t owe her anything. Literally nothing.

Celebrate the fact that YOU are a Bad Ass Motherfucker. Acknowledging that your family sucks is so hard. And you still get a “mother” in there. Watch some Sam Jackson movies. You deserve it!

Lol

Nope. Not at all. +1 for reading comprehension.

This is the dream! Weeping from hot sauce and fresh seafood in a tropical location! Endless rum! They should pay you to be some sort of tourism ambassador.

Tyvm! I’ve been eyeballing US Virgin Islands and Key West, but Hawaii is on the list now too.

Teachers who get angry at “why” are useless and should not be teaching.

Is Virgin okay? My husband has never been on a beach vacation (he comes from camping people). I want to go to the beach for our long delayed honeymoon but jesususususus fuuuuuuck. I do not want to give any of these people airfare. Like, I’d rather spend a few days in the freezing Pacific.

Uh. You might want to do some research on the “rehoming” of adopted children. Particularly in this neck of the woods. People adopt children for the express purpose of abusing them as well.

Well for starters, let’s not conflate goth and cutting. I’m the oldest of four. I’m the only one who went full goth (all black and boots and industrial music and piercings and tattoos). My cutter sisters? Abercrombie athlete and arty lesbian.

It’s a Chardonnay blend.

Right? Like I hear Prince George it’s like, well of course, stuffy and old fashioned. But Georgeclooney is sex on wheels.

Ahaha that video is gold. Not enough Adidas though.

Me and Ross against the world!

Maybe not quite the same thing, but after I hit 35 my hair is now (in addition to the white) growing in black. A lifetime of light brown to medium reddish brown and now I’ve got black/DARK brown hair with white patches. So maybe the grey hairs were just the sign of a color change for you? I noticed mine after shaving…

My shit is coming in WHITE. Pure, gleaming white. Of course, it’s also the texture of a wiry dog coat but it’s not a full head yet so. I’m excited. I wish it was happening faster to be honest. My grandfather had a head full of black hair at 20, and a head full of white at 30. Allllllll my relatives on that side were…

Thank you for all that wrote. You reminded me of something, and I even looked it up to make sure that I wasn’t mixing memories. When I was little, my cousin was sent from Quakertown, PA to my grandmother’s house across the state after a group of teen suicides. She was not happy to have to go high school away from her…

Fussy kid with separation anxiety being lifted out of the car by the teacher, gently. On the second day of school.

Coach has the only perfume I like. It’s Poppy. I don’t know why I like it, and hate all other perfume, but it’s lovely.
