I cannot stand the way you spelled that kid’s name.
Saying “I agree to disagree” isn’t an acknowledgment (or apology) for your poor behavior towards me. In fact, although I didn’t show it because I’ve already moved on and it doesn’t make much difference to me at this point, it only cemented the fact that I’m a low priority right now. When it all falls apart again I won’t be there to help you pick up the pieces of your life. My mantra of “you can only be taken advantage of if you allow it” will be firmly in place.
ok. i’m sorry i went off on you. It’s just that i dont agree, i worry and i dont understand. I know my way isnt necessarily the right way; please give me a little grace as i’m trying to understand your way. and i love you thoroughly.
now i just need to say this IRL.
I am more interested in seeing how programs for disadvantaged students do at prepping them for college applications and the essays in particular.
Personally, I’d be interested in helping those students who really need help and don’t have it from family or social circumstance. But who does that, where, and when is it simply too late?
I think I care less than others about “top schools.”
I began as the least likely person to end up at two top 10 universities, but I did; and would like to help others do the same if they have talent yet no advantage by birth, gender, race, or ethnicity.
The snobbism and entitlement I read here sometimes…and the ignorant judgements.
I,
HATE,
“maintenance” delays.
Bad advice, No matter how well intended, is still bad advice
You almost made it through an entire event, so I know you tried. But after the photos and reception and everything, it’s ridiculously painful to have my own mom pull me aside to tell me my hair is “ugly” and you “hate it this way”. I am not oversensitive or stubborn. Sometimes, I’m just a person.
I wish I would have kept my big mouth shut 
I drove 750 miles through 8 states today. Another 150 to go to get the puppy tomorrow. Then I’ll make the return trip. I’m nuts.
I did something I never thought I would ever do…
I saw two broadway shows in one day :D/
Beautiful - Carole King story…amazing!
and Waitress - had no idea what the story was about - hysterical, realistic, a bit crass. Had so much fun!
Water draining into the Pacific Ocean is called a river. For example, Russian River. And many others.
Brother and sister, I told you ten months ago that the house of our (now deceased) parents would not sell because it’s thirty years old and was never renovated. I told you that prospective buyers would walk in, take a look, and then walk out. Nowadays, prospective buyers are lazy - virtually none embrace buying a place on the cheap and fixing it up. But no, you wanted to just keep ratcheting down the price, hoping that someone would come along and buy it. That approach failed miserably. Now, you two have bought new appliances and done renovations, and put the house back on the market - exactly what I advocated so long ago. Will I ever be told that I was right, all along? Nope, ain’t going to happen.
I need botox for my eyeballs to keep from rolling them at you.
I’m glad you’re so excited about this school so early, and I don’t want to slow your pursuit at all, but God the heartbreak if this doesn’t come together down the road…
All my life you have complained about the “mean old people” who turn cranky and unpleasant with age. I’m afraid that you, with your non-stop rants about Mom and complaints you’re so unhappy with everyone in your life, have become one of those mean old people.
I keep saying go to the doctor because it might be the beginning of dimentia but no one wants to listen to me. Sigh.
Sometimes I wish everyone in my life were in the exact same financial situation. It would make things easier. I wish my best friend had the resources we do.
We need a button on CC for “TMI.”
Dear Airline - Changing the departure time from later to early three times, changing gates back and forth, and then boarding, deplaning, and then re-boarding passengers in the span of 20 minutes makes you look incompetent. And sending passengers texts that the O2 system is malfunctioning and we need a new plane followed by “JK, original plane is working” doesn’t instill a lot of confidence.
STOP CALLING ME!!! Yes, I know the primary is tomorrow, and have already decided how to vote. But thanks, caller ID. Seeing one call come in as “Robo-caller” was kinda fun.
I’m really sorry that this happened. I love all of you and it’s painful to see you hurting. I hope all parties can agree unkind words were said and move on. We have a lot of future together.
