That’s really kind of you. We are moving in that direction. At least we don’t have to see his sister anymore, so that helps.

I am FB resistant. I am not on it, don’t allow my friends to post my pics, tho I have some pics on a site for a place where I volunteer, I don’t think I am named in them. FB just sucked people in, too much too fast. I waste enough time already.

agreed! no ragrets

I am not a user, but I feel your anger at Zuckerberg. He’s just like every other tech billionaire who doesn’t give a crap about how his technology affects the real world.

This book helped me immensely. Also: distance. Good luck, Pumpkin. 💚

Ugh, I needed this open thread tonight for a dumb vent. I got into it with this guy this morning on a friend’s fb about abortion. I feel like I need to speak out but fuck, I’m so tired of arguing with uninformed brick walls. And I’m SO TIRED of white male opinions. I give zero fucks about how they feel or what they…

This year? This year can fuck off. Both my mother and father in law died this year. They are the only parents I have, because my parents are awful people. My husband and I paid the entirety of their funeral costs. We found his junki sister withheld my father in laws pain meds while he was dying so she could shoot it…

To celebrate this shitty year coming to a close, here is the fattest picture of this fat baby. She’s like the only good thing to happen in 2016.

The charitable donation is a good idea, particularly if it’s for a cause she likes. Just something to let her know someone is thinking of her...

My sister has been dating the same guy for over a year now. I only added him as a friend on Facebook when they moved in together. I prob will not get him a gift until they become engaged. I just think it would be weird to give a gift to someone that wasn’t more officially tied to the family.

That’s a great idea, especially if you can pick a cause she’s also into.

Once again, here’s the usual plea for information sources for folks who choose not to be stalked by Mark Zuckerberg. Non-Facebook sources of info?

This afternoon I took my biracial preschooler to the feminist book store for drag queens story time and bought her a copy of A is for Activist.

Will you be seeing the ex-wife over the holidays? Do you have a personal relationship or any friend type connection with the ex-wife beyond being polite and friendly to a siblings spouse?

I’ve been waiting all week to ask this: what is the etiquette for gift giving when a sibling has a girlfriend, and a wife? Sibling & spouse live separately, but aren’t even legally separated; sibling has a new SO that our parents have met & seem to approve of. I’m planning on getting a gift for the girlfriend, but…

We bought our Christmas tree today, and I’m watching A Christmas Carol. (The best one with Alistair Sim) I’m going to go make a nice baked Brie now.
