I’m bringing snacks!

This is one marketing rebranding I can get behind.

In fact asking dad to buy new headphones could be a way to transition into that conversation.

“Hey, dad, will you buy me these?”

“Um…why?”

“11 and 6 dad. I need them for 11 and 6. Y’all ain’t subtle.”

And daddy never sleeps at night.

Keep it in your pants, Janeway. 😂

930 was so awesome. It still is kinda awesome, but it was special back then too (and I know I didn’t get to witness their true heyday in the old building). Once they opened the Anthem though, I feel 930 drifted more indie.

Lolol

Also, I was out on the Mall with them for fireworks.

Yeah it depends on our views of dork status. Some of us look for that in a fella. And hope he doesn’t mind our dorkiness too.

One year we bought loud Christmas themed outfits and went to have our picture taken with Santa. But not just Santa, there were minature goats there too. We each held one. They are so stinkin adorable. We were 46? 47? It made our whole week.

That became our Christmas card. Everyone loved it.

Go get your picture made. Your sister is a wet blanket that seems to still get embarrassed easily.

Would you say that about any president? Genuinely curious. I can think of ones that I like some of their policies and deeds, but the whole of their work? Lincoln maybe.

You teach other people to drive trucks?

They should hole punch the passport and hook it on his employee lanyard.

If you do, and want her to know, then yes say it.

Does she say it to you?

My family never really said it to each other. It just wasn’t normalized. Then one day I started thinking I may not have them around forever and I wanted to tell them. So I did. Mostly “love you, bye” when ending a call. And they were a little weirded out at first, but said it back. Now if I wait a beat before saying it, they’ll say it first!

I’m sorry your sister is getting bullied. I’m not sure if they had a friendship enough to where your sister can ask her why she’s being like this, and that her behavior is hurtful.

Or if this is one of those cases where the bully needs a punch in the face to respect boundaries.

That also made me wonder if the bully is getting bullied herself at home or by other kids, so she’s acting out because she’s miserable too.

I expected ß but then the extra letters kept going lol

What the hickety heck is going on between lowercase R and X?

Prisons have libraries

Being at odds with the bookie man is gambling with your life!

Or at least your kneecaps.

You are right. It is relative. I’m twice your age. 25 is so young to me. I didn’t even really start having fun with adulthood until about 30. And I got into some shenanigans as a teen and twenty-something. Maybe that was more to do with leveling up the career until I had disposable income. Anyway, you may find yourself looking back on 25 and view it differently than you do now.

Agreed! I don’t put bills there for that reason. I used to be the finance director for a large community event, very cash dependant. And we definitely got nasty sweaty boob money, money soaked in beer, you name it. The cash counting machines had trouble with it, so a lot had to be hand counted. Handling so much cash with mystery wetness was one of the less pleasant aspects of the job.
