Now that you mention it, it DOES look like that, but the roles are inverted. Amy looks upbeat and inviting and Willow looks sullen and grumpy. In reality it’s the other way around.

After the first it was already better. I remember 4 making a world of difference.

I have a herniated disc in my lower back and it “showed up” when my daughter was 2 months old. I was breastfeeding and couldn’t take anything for the pain - which was so bad I couldn’t even breathe properly. Acupuncture saved me.

I’ve had rescues my entire life. Even my purebred dog, a St Bernard, came to us because her owner thought she’d grown too much (really?!?). They’re the best.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. I think there’s a type of person who values their own way of thinking and doing things over everything else. Their egos are so fragile that any attempt to have an honest conversation addressing their faults and ways they could improve is promptly shut down. My mother is like…

100% korrect.

Maybe it’s the same contingent that says alt-right because saying neo-nazis makes them blush.

I read it as a piece of cheese that was left in the rain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As an atheist I can’t really say anything about God’s whereabouts, but I do believe the kindness and love of their families will help them immensely. In that regard they’re in a better (or less worse) situation than others. Being deported is certainly a horrifying, dream-ending scenario in the mind of any immigrant,…

Unfortunately at this point if I were in your position I’d hold out hope, donate, protest, but also start thinking of a plan B. Do your relatives know the place where they’d be deported to? Do they know anyone there? Would they have a place to stay or money to tide them over? If you are at all able to soften the blow…

It’s hard to say they’re just pushing the agenda when there are white nationalists INSIDE the government dictating an agenda. Outside or inside they’re one and the same.

That’s a shitty situation to be in, and your sister has the same issue as my mom: she doesn’t believe she has a problem. If she doesn’t think her treatment of people is wrong, why change? She lacks self-aware was and empathy, so she isn’t equipped to see her actions and words as problematic. It’s also worth mentioning…

As much as you’re right when you say there’s no point in exposing kids to grandparents who were toxic parents, I totally understand your sister. She probably wants to give them a chance to be better grandparents than they were parents, like a kind of do-over. It’s an attempt to give your kids some fond memories of…

You make great points, and I think everyone who comes from a dysfunctional family should contemplate them. However, in a culture like mine (I come from a Latin American country) cutting parents off or deliberately not allowing grandparents to see grandkids is just not a thing. In that regard I think Americans can set…

LW3: do we have the same mom?

When I was a little kid we went to an animal exhibit (like a petting zoo) and we got to take a couple of chicks home. Most of them die but we treated them right and they grew into roosters. We tried to keep them in our yard but the fuckers would not shut up. At 2:30 am they’d be making all the noise in the world.

Yup, most people dismiss whooping cough but it absolutely does kill babies and elderly people in a drawn out, horrible way. And like you I was baffled by the fact that if they didn’t vaccinate against it they also didn’t vaccinate against serious illnesses like tetanus. How stupid and careless can you be? And in the…

Maybe he’s that type of guy who feels naked without his watch *eyeroll*. And I’m sorry you can’t unsee this picture, I felt the same way after I saw it.

That’d make more sense, just go full Alicia Silverstone and chew you kids’ food before you spot it in their mouths.

A kid in my daughter’s class showed up with whooping cough (!!!) and as a result her teacher, who hadn’t been vaccinated against it or contracted it in the past, had to be put on a 2-week leave as a preventative measure. The teacher was heartbroken, being the beginning of the school year and all. Because of shitty…
