My brother’s room was not this bad. However, my dad backed his truck up and took a shovel and threw everything out the window into the bed of the truck. His room never looked like that again. I saw it and took note. And no, we were not mentally scarred for life. It was a battle of will and Dad took the pieces off the board.

I’m embarrassed asf to post this, but HELP. How do I make this stop? I clean it for her, it still ends up like this.. she cleans it, she cries about it and it still ends up like this.. I’m OVER it. I tried grounding her. Taking electronics. Cleaning it for her. Helping her clean it. & NOTHING.PHASES.HER. She genuinely doesn’t care. I told her yesterday “if your room doesn’t get cleaned today, you’re grounded” she looked at me and said “ok? I don’t care.” I even asked to remove it because once a person came to us for an order that they ordered from my store, Tedooo app, it was such a shame that the buyer accidentally saw it. We don’t live nasty. Our house is always spotless. HOW DO I GET MY GrandKID TO JUST KEEP A CLEAN DANG ROOM? She’s 8 if that makes any difference for any type of tips, ya girl is tired.........

@ellamaulding Or, you could fund all that and then some with all the abuse and fraud that is occurring.

For 200 billion dollars, we could deport every illegal, end homelessness, secure the border permanently, rebuild infrastructure, support struggling Americans, and create financial incentives to kickstart new young families. Instead we’re funding a foreign war. I am angry.

@WMCActionNews5 What happened to all the money before the Task force?? You didn’t seem to be improving Memphis before- why would you now?

As President Trump arrived in Memphis, a group of protestors lined the street in opposition to the Memphis Safe Task Force. t.ly/FYkJr

What’s the ONE word you say that makes your pet instantly appear?. When I call his name.

@gamemasterrukia @atalanta44 @WitchyMcWitch We can’t even test neurotransmitter levels for depression or bipolar. We have never gotten repeatable brain wave patterns for common disorders. All the neurological dysfunction models are hypothesis- not even theories.

@atalanta44 @WitchyMcWitch there is no neurological component to being trans. brain patterns are like snowflakes, every one is unique and different. if there was a trans brain pattern then all trans people would have that same pattern but they don't.

Can anyone tell me what "science" changes my husband (father of one) from a man into a woman if he says " I am a woman"

I had a toddler and baby on an overseas flight (I had just adopted them) my baby had an ear infection and I simply could not console him. I knew people were over it and it made me more tense= more crying. On the connection from NYC to Atlanta, an angel that spoke new English sat next to me and took my baby in her arms. He was asleep in 10 min. I was so grateful that I wanted to cry. I did get that she had 8 kids, never found out her name. The point is that I was so tense that he cried more. Vicious cycle.

No. Wrong. You are a fucking idiot. Perhaps keep your gob shut until you have kids. You think the parents WANT their kids to cry? I have seen your stupid shit on here for years, but this is the thing I chose to comment on. Not because it is wrong, even though it is, but because it is so fucking thoughtless.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@OneBadDude_ Having a second floor on your house (stairs). Also, going out to eat and soda.

Going out to eat was a special occasion

@TRae764357 @end3of6days9 @EricaRN4USA I did 3 set (at one time). Luckily, I got a payment plan. Even 8 years ago, this was pretty close to what I paid (about 5k each). But the first thing people see when they meet you is your smile.

@end3of6days9 @EricaRN4USA Braces have always been, and still are, expensive. Sounds like mama didn’t do much research beforehand if she thought they’d only be $1500. I wonder if she’s as ill-prepared in the rest of her life…….

This mom gets the estimate for her teenage son's braces and her reaction is pure, relatable shock. She sits there staring at the paper: over $6,000 for full top-and-bottom braces. "What? Like who can afford over $6,000 for braces?" she says, voice cracking with disbelief. Her son needs them for an overbite and just one or two crooked teeth—"his teeth aren't even that crooked"—but it's still full treatment. She thought maybe it was $1,900 or something (perhaps a down payment), but nope, the numbers are real. He's got two insurances (one through mom, one through dad), yet the estimate only factors in dad's. She hopes hers kicks in more, especially since her daughter only needed top braces before. But even so, she's floored: "Oh my god, this can't be real. This can't be real. Parents, is this real?" This is the everyday reality hitting so many families right now. A basic need like fixing your kid's teeth turns into a massive financial gut punch—thousands out of pocket, even with insurance, while you're already dealing with life’s other curveballs. Kids shouldn't have to go without straight teeth and confidence because orthodontics costs more than a used car. Parents shouldn't have to choose between braces and bills. Who's been hit with a braces quote that made you do a double-take? Or is this just what we Americans have to deal with in 2026?

@MbarkCherguia Murdock

What would you name this dog?

@MbarkCherguia KAHHNNN!!!

What’s the first thing you think of when you see Ricardo Montalbán?

@Matt_Pinner Gertrude= Gertie

Vintage old lady name for this DOG please

@vbspurs I have a dear friend in the Netherlands (originally from Russia). He tells me what he gets from the media about us and I am aghast. I can’t convince him that it is really not like what the TV says. He is actually afraid to visit the states. It breaks my heart.

What I learnt about my viral Potluck thread is that Americans are even warmer, more inventive, and more community-spirited than I imagined. So many people are down on Americans, including, disgracefully, some Americans. But I'm here to tell you that you are a world treasure.

I thought about how I ate when I was young and skinny. I realized that I used to only eat 1-2 meals a day, and never had time to snack. I had been intermittent fasting before it was a thing. I went back to eating when I am hungry- basically once a day. I lost 40# and feel better than I have in years. I gave up the “one size fits all” habits and listened to my body.

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you?

@vbspurs @Coffy_Cat I am not into organ meets, pigs feet, ears, other bits. But they certainly still exist.

@Reesewith3 @Coffy_Cat We call it offal, and it has fallen out of favour in Anglo culture countries. Although it's more noticeable in America. I used to frequent a filling station in a black area. I was always mesmerised by the various animal body parts for sale in jars near the checkout. 🤭

You know how Americans have potluck dinners? Everyone brings a casserole or something? I've been meaning to tell you that I love that about you guys. So warm and friendly. Brits don't do this. It's considered bad manners to bring food to a person's home. We are so unalike.

@vbspurs It beats going home after a 12 hour shift and cooking dinner for the family!!!

@Reesewith3 Oh girl. This is a hug on a plate.

My city’s demographics are about 50% black/ 40% white, 10% Hispanic. But working in inner city hospitals, I am definitely the minority (I am white). My partial hospital is probably 80% black employees. It took me a while to convince my coworkers that I can cook- lol. My parents grew up really poor and my Mom taught me to make biscuits straight from the flour bowl, fry catfish, rabbit stew, frog legs- all of it.

@Reesewith3 @vbspurs I don't know alot about black people if I'm being honest. The west has pretty much no blacks. Most my life I've only met Caucasians and Mexicans. A handful of Asians, mostly Chinese.

Actually, this is the south food culture beyond demographics. We have all ethnicities that contribute- “soul food” is typically a poor thing- not black, white, Indian, ect. I have traveled pretty extensively around the world- absolutely nothing beats soul food. Sometimes we will do a theme like Cajun, Italian, sushi- we cook it all. If you want to learn to make authentic southern food, check out “that girl can cook” on YouTube her fried cabbage is out of this world!!

@Reesewith3 @vbspurs I was in the west at the time. I've heard rumors that food culture for whites is vastly superior in the south. Hopefully I'll experience it one day lol.

@yobacknorseman @ProsectorPath @vbspurs Before my grandmother passed, you never entered her house when something wasn’t on the stove, she cooked “in case someone dropped by”. Even without calling ahead, she had something hot, ready to consume.

@ProsectorPath @vbspurs My sweet sweet mother in law is forever cooking food for other people.

@bodyfarmer_sam @vbspurs My favorite was a baked potato bar. Someone would bring in a crock pot full of potatoes and everyone else would bring in things to top them with- chili, pulled pork, shredded chicken, ect.

@vbspurs It doesn’t take extra away from work hours tho, because people just get the brought in food from the break room during their regularly scheduled lunch breaks. It’s just like a “you don’t have to pack or buy lunch today, just bring something to share” kind of thing.

@vbspurs By the way, watch “Steel Magnolias”. The meal train/ funeral food is real at the end of the movie. “Freezes beautifully” is a must in old southern cook books.

@Reesewith3 This potluck tradition in America might be worthy of a book. Hmm. Have I found my next project? 😁
