that’s not nice :( you don’t just deserve better, you deserve the best!

UGH, I got invited to a Younique party on FB by a friend. Her SIL was indoctrinating her to the world of begging your friends to buy crap, and it just seemed totally clear that my friend was not even that into it because the “now WATCH this transformation” over-enthusiastic schtick was coming from the SIL.

I just did a survey of a bunch of teachers in a private FB group about gifts - it was unanimous, gift cards are the way to go.

I was going to go with anthony crispino but this is much better.

I was about to call BS on that story based on the height of the glass alone, but then I realized that I’m 5’2” and that’s the only reason why this did not seem plausible to me. From down here, those things look like they are at least 3 feet tall. I’d need 6 foot long arms to poke those tomatoes.

I do this! My husband has learned to be incredibly accurate in figuring out what I actually mean, it is true skill. I rarely do the same one twice and I have no idea that I’m doing it. Things like “shut the window” when I mean turn off the TV.

Which trains you to continue to keep track of things even if you’ve asked them to, because you aren’t sure if they are going to drop the ball or not. I have been telling my husband it’s up to him to schedule his doctor’s appt before the end of the year. Even though I’ve asked, history has taught me that I will still…

I’m an HSP so I burst into tears a few times a week. I’d honestly need a refining category to really narrow it down.

I think this is my 3rd star for you today but seriously so much of what you are saying correlates with my experience too. “You owe me $15k for therapy” came out of my mouth last week.

I’m still on that journey and not sure if I’m even close. Just the other day I said to my parents “I feel more beautiful when I’m not around you.”

Yup. I wish my parents would think I looked like an actress, even if it was only because they’re wearing “it’s my family” glasses. Last week my parents were visiting, my husband is a tall drink of water with a high-speed train for a metabolism, I remarked “I just couldn’t get enough calories into this guy!” Only to be…

and he’s 21? i hate to imagine what it’s like now, do they even bother?

I love baking too (pies are my thing) - It’s that she basically makes it clear that it’s a chore and not really an outlet/enjoyable hobby.

“fat illegal Mexican communist lesbian”- I just think it’s great that the lady used so many adjectives, they were able to split the insult between the two of them.

George carlin does a routine where he talks about people driving on the highway. If someone is going slower than you, they’re an idiot. If someone whizzes by you, they’re a maniac. That is how I feel about the sanctimommies - no one is doing it right except the one judging.

That is good to hear. My husband and I don’t want kids and we are getting guilt-tripped by my parents suuuuuper hard. It’s making me feel guilty that I don’t feel guilty that I don’t have any desire whatsoever to procreate, and it’s making me think that maybe deep down I’m going to regret the decision. It’s like I’m…

My husband’s brother has 2 sons and definitely drank the pinterest parenting koolaid. My SIL took a cake class so should could homemake all their birthday cakes, star wars themed, sesame street, etc, it takes her almost the entire day to make and frost. My nephews’ birthdays are a week apart and she does a separate…

I have the single container version without the pig on it. It came smelling like a load of chemicals and did not subside even after several washes. I use it for paperclips. Nothing edible can go in there, unless you already enjoy eating lacquer.

Oh I did, and I mental-noted it instantly. I am a sucker for some cured pork + brussels.

For realsies I have been making polenta + greens + meat in some variation once a week for the past two months. And I am showing no signs of quitting any time soon.
