Yep! That was me for ages. I’ve never driven so I’ve always carried a day bag big enough for all my stuff and like an empty tote or two for when I had to get something on the way home. As for cloth diapers, my seriously yuppies SIL is considering them now. See also “tiny houses” - poor folks have been living in…

Um yeah, I’ve been poor longer than I haven’t been poor and I’ve always carried extra totes, a backpack or something to carry purchases in. That is well before specifically reusable shopping bags came on the market. The urban poor often do not drive or have cars and have always needed a way to carry multiple…

The idea of calling reusable bags “bougie” shows just how out of touch the US is. Most immigrants I know, POC or not, are used to shopping with their own shopping bags. My own Nana didn’t drive and shopped w/ thin woven bags we got at the swapmeet decades ago. Every poor person I know has totes they could use for…

It doesn’t announce what you think it does unless you have an issue within yourself you need to resolve.

You go Eve! I’ve loved her from jump and am inspired by her hard work and dedication to being her best self. I don’t watch daytime talk shows, but I will check for that album.

Fuck out of here with your bigoted nonsense!

This is a huge NOPE for me. My husband and I don’t share a bed with anyone. We agreed well before marriage to no family bed crap (no pets, no kids). A dog in a crate & a babe in a crib.

I operate on the circles of friendship/spheres of influence model. Some people are in the inner circle. They KNOW you, and you know them. There is love, trust & a sense of belonging. Some folks are on the outermost circle, good for boozy lunches, shopping & group activities w/no serious topics.

Not everyone needs or wants the salvation you refer to.

I don’t believe in any religion that claims to know God or claims to know what God wants from us.

I actually discussed this with my husband, and we agreed. It ain’t cheating, but it is disrespectful/inappropriate- for us.

Because they literally fit the definition.

You are amusing. Sometimes adults choose to express themselves with strong language or curse words in order to make a point. I am not disgraced because people who don’t matter to me have a low opinion of my language.

Apparently, no one paid attention during the movie. Most people weren’t murderous & just tried to hunker down until daylight. The government did most of the killing. Stealing items you couldn’t consume would be stupid, because when you are caught with the item in the future- still guilty of being in possession of…

Sorry, having done some good (which I already acknowledged) doesn’t make up for the unhealthy ideas the NOI supports.

1. That is major over simplification & rationalization.

Look, cults manage to do good work sometimes. They pick up broken people and put them back together, people no one else wants to bother with. That doesn’t make them not a cult. It doesn’t make the shit they spew true or not dangerous.

I wish one of these celebrity couples would split and be like, “Look, what we had- it stopped working. You know that shit hurts, so please keep your thoughts to yourself. Any personal and/or stupid questions aren’t owed a response and won’t get one.”

15 is realistic. I don’t think 15 year olds should be engaging in sexual activity, but they do. They always have. It shouldn’t be illegal. Add some provisions to cover age gaps and it will be fine.

Sometimes wanting a son has to do with how godawful being a woman can be. Why pass that on?
