@rja_carnegie @AgnesGueco @LorentLouise And babies grow to teens and move out get their own lives; providing they live that long. Death occurs, parental alienation happens, growing up and moving on occurs. Find and keep a great partner you build together what you can. Nothing is guaranteed.

We had our first child when my husband was in grad school. Money was tight, time too, daycare cost more than our rent (yes I had to work FT), "support system" inexistent. None of that really mattered. What made it *really* hard was that all the young people around us

@MetamateDaz Guess the generation that the makers of the film fall into - director, screenwriter, producers. What’s the ratio of the $ folk: Boomer to GenX on getting that film made? (Not the actors-paid laborers)

I used to think this ending was unrealistic why would anyone just throw away $1,000,000s of dollar worth of their children and grandchildren’s inheritance for a brief moment of relief then i learned about boomers and it all made sense

As a straight woman - I’m not going to tell gay men how to style or age gracefully. They can ask other gay men what they find attractive or feel suits them; if they care. Women - Do you care about what others think about how you aesthetically present yourself? If yes, and IF you are single, heterosexual men and lesbians are your target market. If you are in a relationship-> your person is the target. If you don’t care what others think - do as you see fit. Straight and gay women- If you care about the gay men’s options about “what is attractive” you are lost. Babes they will not be in a grow old partner for life relationship with women. Friends sure, but they are not going to be your lover and life partner - they do that with other men. I’ve suffered too many bouts of EDs and self hate because of gay men beauty standards in media and fashion only to learn decades later that straight men, peers, friends, and family had totally different parameters on what they found beautiful and attractive…. Hint: it’s more to do with character, heart, and intelligence than long or short hair.

"Let women just exist." Stop that. That's bullshit. People are allowed to have opinions. This is the accusatory crap women pull out every time so they can accuse men of "policing women." It's a babyish response, and only women do it. That got you a permanent mute. I don't put up with this teen girl feminist victim crap. You should be embarrassed.

Women of a certain age: One of the biggest mistake you make is thinking that hairstyles for younger women flatter you. They don't. They really, really don't. They look ridiculous, try-hard, and they make you appear insecure and silly. If you're a lady of 50 or over, you just can't get away with it. I don't care what your middle aged girlfriends tell you-they're lying. All of you are prone to falling into trends and gassing each other up with lies. I'm a gay man, and I'll tell you the truth. These au courant styles look terrible on you. Especially the "messy" ones. You are wasting the beauty you do have as an older woman. Your best bets? -Shoulder length pageboy (many variations, parted on the side -Similar, but with a soft wave roller set. Groomed. Think updated 1950s And if you have long hair, for god's sake, put it UP. Long flowing hair is for younger women. It's always been a sign of the maiden, not the matriarch. Wear it in a twist. Put it in a tasteful chignon at the nape (see M. Trump). Something like that. Older women who wear these styles command respect, admiration, and the room. -Uncle Josh

I don't understand the impulse to shame women into looking casual and sloppy, to hide their figure. I'm not putting on a shapeless sack because my breast to waist ratio makes you feel insecure.

Once upon a time polite eye contact and basic social manners were the standard it is now a rarity.
Sarah Cone@sarah_cone

My neighbor came up to me: "Your child is incredibly impressive. She came up to me, said hello, looked me in the eye, and engaged me in conversation. You never see children like this anymore. She has real manners! You must be the best mother. I couldn't wait to tell you." Me: "No, it's her school @AlphaSchoolATX. They teach life skills, and they just did a unit on etiquette." In life skills, they don't get a grade, but you can measure it in the number of adults who come up to you and tell you that your child is impressive: it's a non-trivial number.

Been there! Got out of college during the great recession. She is attractive. Go to local bars and restaurants or retail or hotel- just get a job! Hustle and save. Keep applying- EVERYWHERE! Utilize your network- go to the job fairs, conventions and take your resume. Make up a generic business card to hand out. The grind sucks but you end up making connections you can go back to for years

A girl sits in her car scrolling through her email, heart sinking as she reads, “We’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.” It was for a cashier position at Target. She exhales in disbelief; she has a bachelor’s degree *and* a master’s, yet she can’t even land a job at the register. Applications, interviews, rejections… over and over again. She whispers, “What was all that hard work for?” This is the reality many people are quietly facing; overqualified, underemployed, and emotionally drained. The job market can feel confusing and unfair, where education doesn’t always translate into opportunity. Have you ever felt stuck between being “too qualified” and still not being given a chance? How did you navigate it?

@LAChas77 Suburb of Detroit nice area not nearly as nice as Carmel IN - $7k annual property tax bill. $3k in a well maintained, low crime, clean, community parks, arts district, good schools, close commute to downtown Indy -> it’s a hell of a deal!

My Gma made me register for Sur la Tab cookware for my wedding 15+yrs ago and I took it w me in the divorce. Had to teach my husband and stepkids how to use and clean it, but we’ve had many amazing meals. When my stepkids marry I will 💯 be gifting stainless steal cookware (and maybe great knives). 🥰

@bluewmist High quality stainless steel cookware. It becomes generational. Expensive at purchase, but you only buy it once - lasts a lifetime and can be passed down when cared for properly.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@CptNibbleswrth @MatrixMysteries If you’re selling things to buy groceries- BUY groceries. Actual FOOD (not energy drinks) and cleaning supplies (go for generic, or bleach, vinegar and baking soda).

An American mom can’t afford groceries — so she sells her kids’ playhouse for $100. That $100 gets her 8 items. A childhood toy traded… just to cover basic necessities. This isn’t just inflation — it’s families being priced out of basic life.

My mother sold my Barbies, My Little Pony toys, She-Ra action figures, Rainbow Bright toys, Cabbage patch, Pop-els, her own albums, her clothes, baby clothes, yard equipment, tools-anything she could in the 90s to buy groceries and pay rent. When budgets get tight, it’s unfortunate but hustlers hustle and figure it out. Generation after generation. In the great recession I sold blood plasma for $ to have ramen and PBJs, had side of the road furniture, roommates, worked 2 jobs to pay for tuition and housing. It SUCKED, but I learned so much about what is a NEED and just a want. Gained more self confidence and experience that I could survive and grow from the hard stuff, became more resourceful and gained more problem solving skills, learned how to read people better, and continue to carry that humbling experience to give a hand up to others.

Oh wow 😳. Grew up hearing this man every morning getting ready for school. Continued to hear him in college. Followed him on Twitter/X since his retirement. May he rest in peace. A true Midwest radio legend.

@KirkwoodandDunn Also got her years messed up, Cam Cameron and Randle El predated Knight’s ouster by more than a few years I think. Cam Cameron, OMG, can’t believe I even remember that shister 😬 Finally toots, the Cig magic is not lost on many, friend or foe.

This might be the worst thing on the internet. So many questions… Why was this made? So she is a CFB expert but Randle El wasn’t good enough for her? The national championship doesn’t count for alumni? Why is it in black and white? Why is the audio so bad? Did she really need a prop?

There is a provision in the Amish community that if it is for the business they can and do utilize modern tech. So yes if it falls under business they absolutely are on social media. Amish furniture- made in plants with automated C&C machines, computers, cell phones all connecting employees, websites and apps to sell and promote the goods and businesses.

Any teacher/ school administrator along with those of “custodial parent” status that had any part of “passing” along any individual past 6th grade with the below equivalent math skills needs to be assigned to vomit clean up and diaper changing duties ONLY as their profession for the next 15yrs. Sincerely- screw all of you for passing all this idiocy along! These kids can’t math or comprehend the spoken word. 🤦‍♀️

Dear Irish fans- last season you lost to Miami in the Hard Rock. Your team went 10-3 (not 10-2 in my eyes bc you declined aka forfeited a bowl game). IU beat Miami in the Hard Rock for the National Championship. I don’t want to hear anything about how the Irish would have beaten the 2025 Hoosiers anymore. Own your losses and not being part of the playoffs. That said; it’s the next chapter and looking forward to the next grid iron match up.
