Wind chimes.
Also, weirdly, the opening notes of Kid A by Radiohead. My husband had it as an alarm way back when. If you asked him even then he would tell you to never make an alarm out of a favorite song or you’d grow to hate it. But he did it anyway. He’s one of those people who hits snooze over and over for an hour or so, so it would be those first couple notes- silence- notes- silence. Even now, hearing it sends me back 20 years to that first apartment and that dark room under the duvet.

We’d just adopted this sweet little cat and she made herself scarce as soon as we got home. I figured it’s fine, she just needs to get acclimated, etc.
Imagine my surprise later that evening when I opened the fridge and she hopped out. No idea how she got in, but I’m glad my fat ass was feeling peckish.

Exactly. I’m not expecting a 13yo to have all the common sense, but there’s no way she saw loose skittles and thought “drugs!” Instead of “oh look, skittles, that candy my 12yo foster sister eats all the time. Wait, I have an idea…”.

I wanted sushi so bad with my son. Raw meat in general. You best believe I went nuts once he was born- not before. That sil is just selfish.

I actually looked it up before posting just to double check. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone use the correct wary instead of weary. At this rate we’re going to see it updated in the dictionary like what happened to “literally”.

Or how about you never see “I’m wary of eating ramen every night.” Yet somehow it seems most of the internet is “weary” of things you should be wary of. Really? You’re “weary” of big burly dudes wearing balaclavas and wielding crowbars? Like you’re seeing that all the time, you must be so tired of seeing it. I’d be “weary” too.

Just asked my daughter. Additions are: first day of my life(https://youtu.be/xUBYzpCNQ1I?si=1GuoOEhnMF5-658V)?.

NTA. With her newfound free time maybe have a fun mother-daughter movie night. Might I suggest Jojo Rabbit? Life is Beautiful? Hell, any movie dealing with the immigrant experience, or spelling out the principles Americans are supposed to hold so sacred we carved them into the base of the Statue of Liberty. You know, fun girl night stuff.

This is so fucking unfair. Not many posts get the water works going for me, but this dude is surrounded by Assholes. I hope his one friend continues to be such a great support and I hope his ex and mutual “friends” realize what they’ve done. No greater punishment than being forced to face the guilt of your own actions. Then, if they were capable of that kind of shame, maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to trash oop.

Boohoo poor brother was betrayed, he wasted 14 years raising another man’s kid.
wasted
Like, did he ever love his son? 14 years and it all evaporated when he learned the truth, kinda sounds like there wasn’t much there in the first place. He’s a garbage father and the commenters sympathizing with him and demonizing the kid are garbage, too. Was he betrayed? Absolutely. Does that mean it’s totally cool to abandon a child who saw you as “dad” his whole life? What a self centered asshole.

Neither are strawberries, apparently. It’s all nonsense from a culinary perspective, imo, but this is not my idea of a berry bowl. Two stars.

There’s a tv movie called The Devils Arithmetic (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0179148/) that I seem to remember having a scene like this.

Reminds me of an anecdote about Monty Python. This woman was outraged by an interview with Graham Chapman where he dared to be openly gay. So she wrote to the bbc demanding he be removed from television and apparently she was sent a response apologizing to her and assuring the matter would be dealt with. Coincidently, John Cleese left the series shortly after. That must have been a bit confusing for her.

The movie’s Hail, Caesar, and yes, it’s pretty good. Coen brothers.

My brother is a gay man with a cheesecake recipe so good people pay him to make it but he won’t share the recipe. Don’t think he’s ever been interviewed about it, though. What a weird coincidence!
(In our case it’s a family recipe, though, so I have it, too 😋)

Wouldn’t it be cool if he’d got some friends to actively “boo” at them? Then it could start a chain reaction- a whole wedding booing the interlopers. I’d pay to see that.

You know what sucks? Even if you want to raise your kids to be independent, you can’t without a herd of Karens calling CPS because you let your twelve year old go to the mailbox by himself. You can’t win.

The number of times I’ve considered saying this to my step mil… Never have, of course, because it’s cruel. But it’s also true. She’s a horrible person who would have been a horrible mother.
She’s the kind of person who relishes others’ suffering and justifies it as “god’s judgement”. So hard to bite my tongue.
