@realgirl_fieri @_samantha_joy Much easier with school aged children and teenagers than littles! We used to leave at 4am & all of us would pile in the car and go back to sleep. When we came around sometime around 9am my dad would find somewhere for breakfast. Lots of good road trip memories from those years!

@Nicole_Cliffe I had latest curfew in high school so friends always slept over. Parents got smart with caller ID & would make us call from landline to prove we were home by a certain time. But I had my own phone line. we’d hide the portable phone in the mailbox, do a drive by, then go back out.

@andibartz @KMadMcLean I think people who long for children/have always wanted to be a parent honestly can’t comprehend the dichotomy of loving children AND potentially resenting them. I’m a great aunt. I love kids SO MUCH! But I question how well I’d handle hard parts. I’m better in a supporting role.

@bbbadpussy @OgLakyn @JessikaKayy1 Good lord. She’s saying you don’t need to purchase 15 portable beverage vessels just because they’re the current “it” item. Anyone being defensive about this likely knows they are part of an over-consumption problem. If you regularly use most of the things you own, you’re good.

@billpresson @MdSheryl @PereraJacob1 Is it though? Over qualified people tend to be easy hires, learn quickly, and do their job well. I think the actual problem is that they perhaps teach their coworkers a thing or two about not suffering shitty management and demanding more for themselves. And big biz hates that.

Some lady in a minivan just honked at me and my 10 year old dog in a crosswalk because she wanted to turn left, and I guess we were taking too long for her liking. If you think I turned around and just stood there and stared at her until the light turned yellow, you’d be correct.
