That works if you are amused by the types of things children tend to do. Like, watch the same Disney movie every day. Or listen to the same song 80 times in a row. Or talking about dinosaurs/horses/boy bands/etc. ad nauseam. Or playing with dolls/trucks/blocks, doing puzzles, playing dress-up, etc.

If your friends are going to talk shit about you instead of speaking to you about it personally, they’re not very good friends, are they? That sort of passive-aggressive mess is not something you need.

This “we’re too selfish” shit has got to stop. We have to stop viewing parenthood as some sort of metric we use to measure a person’s selflessness.

YES. I have a friend who earns $40k/year and is always crying her eyes out about how pooooooooooooor she is. Every time she learns of how I paid off my student loan, my car, have $10k saved up, my credit score up to almost 800, she asks me to help her do it, too.

You’re welcome! I hope it helps :)

Okay!

When you get the blood test for thyroid issues, make sure (and this is important, don’t forget) to get your T4 checked as well as T3. T3 only works if it has the T4 to make it work, and if your body isn’t producing T4 either, taking thyroid meds for T3 is useless.

It also depends on the state— for example, NJ doesn’t have a rape charge, just varying degrees of sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault.

A Virginia man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for repeatedly having sex with raping a 14-year-old Salvadoran girl

I can’t remember shit due to thyroid disease compromising my short-term memory, and if I didn’t put everything in my calendar, it would never get done.

That’s exactly why I refused to be confirmed— you want me to tell the bishop and an entire congregation of people a load of bullshit? Isn’t lying a sin?

All I can speak to is my own experience caring for many children, and observation of how choices parents make today can have an impact on the children’s behavior later on.

Here’s the thing: you’re supposed to be teaching your children how to become well-adjusted adults. Do you honestly think the lessons of “don’t bother respecting boundaries”, “never confront discomfort or fear”, “be short-sighted and go for immediate gratification at the expense of long-term profit”, and “throw a…

I’m a fucking delight. It’s awesome that you can tell from just 3 sentences.

TIL something. Thank you very much! Good stuff to know. <3

I can see that.

I’ll make YOU the cake!

My mother co-signed a $15,000 loan for my brother. Almost 20 years later, she’s 70 and has to go back to work to make her ends meet, and he still hasn’t paid her back.

I am wondering if I am just wasting our time?

Best line in the game. I have rolled new toons just so I could do that starter-zone quest and listen to them say “Me not that kind of orc” a few dozen times. Never gets old or stops being funny. Ever.
