@jay can we also add "it's all part of God's plan" to the list, along with "God never gives you more than you can handle", and "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". If children getting terminal diseases, or people suffering terrible abuse and/or loss is part of his plan... he needs a new plan. His plan sucks.
Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix! Neil Gaiman/supernatural fantasy series, I watched it in three days flat - can't wait for season 2.
Most of this is fine, whatever. But it's a bit cheeky to say "no presents please - unless you want to buy us a new lawn"! If you don't want more plastic kids tat cluttering up your house that's fine, but if I'm going to give money, it will be to the kid, into their savings account or something.
@keab right? Is this one of those "suicides" where he shot himself in the back of the head - twice?
God, I had to take Endone for a few days, just thinking about the side effects is traumatising! And that was only a few days, I can't imagine months of dealing with this. I'm surprised your doctors weren't more help, surely this is a common side effect?
I am usually the last person to believe conspiracy theories or whatever, but this is pretty sus. Feels a bit like all those people who "disagreed" with Putin, then somehow all managed to fall out of windows... accidentally.
That's just... so bad. How on earth did they screw that up so badly?
Sounds like she rushed into this, to be honest it might be a good thing that it didn't work out. Pushing someone to be a parent when they don't want to is a terrible idea, especially when it's a new relationship.
My favourite was from Joy Behar, one of the co-hosts of The View talk show. She wasn't married but had a long-time partner, and called him her "spousal equivalent", which I thought was pretty spot on.
Flannelette sheets have never been out of fashion in our house!
Ok, sharing income aside, I don't know how she can say that she has no idea how much money is in the shared account, she doesn't know how or when she gets paid - and then claim it's made her more financially responsible! She's putting herself in a very dangerous position, let's hope she and the friend don't have a falling out.
Gallowglass, good choice! Can't wait for him to get his own book!
This feels like the classic "I know he treats me like dirt, but I love him". Sometimes love isn't enough to make up for all the bad stuff that comes along with it. I hope he doesn't turn on her, now that everyone else has cut him out of their lives.
@littlebirdy honestly, same. We moved when I was eleven, and I was bit like Bingo, even at that age - I didnt really understand what a huge thing it was. It all turned out fine in the end, but I think deep down there's still some unresolved stuff going on. It was nice to see them not have to go through it all and have the fairy tale ending.
Ok, the tone is somewhat aggressive, but honestly, some of these are just common sense/good manners. No 2, 4-8 and 12 all seem pretty basic. Don't fiddle with the seating arrangements, don't get stupid drunk, don't propose to your girlfriend are all basic manners. They obviously want a party atmosphere and maybe are going a little hard in that direction, but not all these rules are bad. Makes me wonder how uncouth and bad mannered their family and friends are that they have to make this list in the first place! 😉
She only wears white... a lifestyle choice only made by those who don't do their own laundry!
100% with Arj on this one. She wasn't asked to leave because she was breastfeeding, she was asked to leave because a comedy show is no place for a baby. She has brought this entirely on herself - although theatre staff probably should have stopped her before she got in.
I know you don't show paparazzi photos, but the shots of him hiding in the bushes from the photographers were hilarious. And then the two of them doing the doorstep press conference to announce that everything was fine was super weird.
Isn't this just regular layering? Does it really need a new name?
That's so good to hear! I'm sure she will still have a lot of healing to do, but what a relief for her dad and the rest of her family. Best of luck to them.
