We had been mulling over the idea of leaving, but then my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in Nov. He says he's now tainted, but if it gets too bad our son and I can leave; it's just a sad future no matter how I spin it at this point.
My son is in second grade and ha, chosen to not to say the pledge of allegiance (his own decision because we talk about how the country won't take care of its people). He says he teachers never force him, but subs always do claiming we're the greatest country in the world.
I'm able to utilize Lidl as well thankfully.
My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and people in several support groups I follow are now no longer able to participate in trials. These are people whose last hope was a trial; it is absolutely going to kill people.
This is exactly what I think whenever I see him doing it
My father uses a knife and fork to cut off the crust, eat in pieces, and then continues to use the knife and fork. It is so embarrassing whenever we're out.
Had baby fever for about 2 years before my husband got his and we initially wanted at least 2. Had our son and the fever never returned. I didn't want to have another to appease society and end up with a child that I honestly would have regretted. I'm now happily one and done with an 8 year old. When things aren't going well, I have to remind myself and especially my husband that he's a child.
Gave a Christmas card to my uncle one year with this and had it memorized at one point, thanks for the throwback!
Every time we watch this, my husband and I agree that doing the holidays with our families feels exactly like this.
I guess I never thought about it, but my job technically does this once/month as we have an off-site day and it usually involves doing things that normally aren't open to the public.
I am glad to know I'm not alone in this line of thinking!
Glad to know I'm not the only one!
My area appears to have been hit with a paper towel shortage first. Attempted to get some at Costco today because we legit needed it, but they had none. Went to Lidl and they were running low, but was able to procure some.
Have it included with Walmart+ and so far everything I've watched has had one 30 second ad at the beginning and I can return anytime without having to watch anymore.
They still do this actually. Not quite as cool as when we were kids, but my son brought home a coupon last year for his pizza!
I did this at work recently when my coworker brought me a pack of leftover hotdog buns. Texted my husband that I was having a veggie hotdog, but the fact that I didn't think to do it until 42 is somewhat embarrassing.
Our son told us he doesn't recite the pledge of allegiance in class (started last year in first grade). Asked why and he said it's because of how we talk about the country not taking care of its people. Never prompted, but he has his convictions already.
My 70 year old dad is also in denial. Keeps saying it's summer and always hot, but complaining about it lasting for 3-4 weeks this far and we're only mid-July. Then said a week long below average streak would would help because that's how you get average temps.
Did you hear about Pluto? That's messed up, right?
Want me to show you a little trick to take a your mind off that pain?
