Well, for all the bartender knew, the couple had a ride lined up, or had called a taxi or an uber. I don’t really get my drank on these days, but when I did, I never once drove drunk. Perhaps it would have been handled differently had they been cooler people, but, the server had every right and responsibility to alert…

Well, the piece I read laid out the evidence as to why the opposite could be true. It made sense to me; no other theory I’d ever seen included all the known facts. It just made the most sense.

Unresolved mysteries subreddit, from about two months ago.

I’m on a tablet, and it’s cumbersome to post links on here, but, it’s on the “unresolved mysteries” subreddit.

I read a very well reasoned piece on reddit, (yeah, I know...) In it, the author lays out his evidence that the dad did it, without knowledge or assistance of the mother, and it certainly fit with the proven facts of the case. That’s my favorite theory, but there will never be a conviction or any definitive proof,…

This is absolutely heartbreaking. He sounds like a decent guy.

The jinni from a nearby parallel universe crossed dimensions with you. Now you get to do fun stuff like in Freaky Friday or Parent Trap.

Haha! I sort of have that same operating principle. I want to go to lunch with your buddy.

Eh, I am a vegan, but I try to keep that tidbit of info to myself, unless someone asks. I even unfollowed this vegan Facebook group I had joined mainly for recipe ideas, because of the unyielding militancy. I like my friends; I would like to keep my friends. So, I don’t go around putting my veganism at the center…

You win!

I guess there are some ratchet pumpkin patches of the type you describe, but, the ones we went to were legit farms. They would set up with the pumpkins in fall.

I’d pay cash money just to experience that!

Some of these places might be truly terrible, and some owners jerks, but, I also see a lot of entitled suburban parents letting their kids run amok and destroy property, and just raise a ruckus in general.

I’ve always felt that 1977/1978/1979 fashions were a sane break in between the excesses of the earlier seventies look, and the insanity yet to come in the eighties. The clothing was comfortable, practical, and came in some nice colors, the oranges notwithstanding.

I never owned a long sleeve turtleneck body suit, and don’t recall how they were made, but I would always check for snaps on the bodysuits I bought myself. However. I owned a couple given as gifts that were snapless, and rarely wore them due to the bathroom issue.

I hope things get better soon, and that you don’t let your brother’s words hurt you. If I were your sibling, the only thing I’d be calling you for would be to see how I could help.

Some of them had snaps on the crotch, which made it easy, but for the ones which didn’t, you basically had to undress every time you had to pee.

Pain in the ass when you have to go to the bathroom, though.

I was sixteen in 1977, and that must have been my most “fashionable” year, because the clothes I wore looked exactly like this.

They want it to stop in the name of love! (That actually makes sense...)
