There was a theory put about that a parent was abusing one or both of the sisters and there are current legal proceedings going on. Him being a product of an affair is also a strong theory.

I am kinda in this sitch with an uncle and it used to just be Big Dan/Little Dan, but now my cousin has named her kid Dan, and it's just got more comedic, and we call my uncle Dan the Elder and my little second cousin Dan the Younger, and I've taken to calling myself "Dan the Mediocre". There are a lot of finger guns at my family gatherings because I'm pretty sure we're all like 45% Dad-genetics.

He was hit by somebody, probably not just his mom. I still flinch when unexpectedly touched/caressed. By anyone. I am a 36 year old grown-rear end-man.

E: I flinched real hard when an attractive coworker, who I had expressly given permission to touch my hair and had a habit of doing it when I knew they were going to, touched my head from behind, even after I knew they were behind me.

EE: little humans, no matter how physically resilient they may seem, are fragile in unseen ways.

Dat dose of fight or flight adrenaline is pretty impressive vis-a-vis how fleeting being scared out of your wits by being unexpectedly touched lasts!

jim kirk would hate yoda. like a guy who has tons of friends he has shown over and over again that he would gladly sacrifice himself for would not tolerate yoda�s hideous and toxicly masculine doctrine of self-interest and preservation of the status quo at all costs. Jim, ( and Spock too) explicitly talk about the value of �this simple feeling�: love, in the political sphere, and as a foundation of morality and worldview. Jim basically does in the search for spock what Luke does in Empire: go on a life-threatening fool�s errand to rescue a friend. a correct course of action explicitly disapproved of by Yoda. Jim Kirk is shown throughout TOS reforming episode villans and teaching them compassion, again, something that Yoda literally told Luke not to do. Jim Kirk and Luke Skywalker have the same ethics and worldview : that loyalty to one�s friends is important, that love and compassion are forces for good, and that apathy and indifference are never good solutions to problems ( Jim Kirk literally had a movie in which his story arc was about learning not to be indifferent to the misfortunes of others!) Yoda worldview is the exact opposite : loyalty is irrelevant, love and compassion are evil, and indifference and apathy are the solution to every problem and the foundation of wisdom. this is a point of view that Luke is shown to reject on screen multiple times and is the culmination of his character arc in the three original movies.

They're quasi-feral. They were born and grew up in the woods around my house. I bring them in when it gets super cold but they don't like it one bit. They absolutely will not use a litter box, preferring to piss on my stove and countertops and they terrorize my two strictly indoor cats. They DID live in my barn but a tree took it out last winter.

My mother started fostering after she randomly wound up watching the infant of one of my brother's friends while he was at work, while his wife was in jail for drug charges. My brother's friend then 6 months later OD'ed and died one night. My mother then got foster rights, because the mother didn't want the child and still had a year left on her stint. My mother then raised that little boy for 3 years, all the way through some of the hardest long-night parenting you can experience, when his father's cousins decided to take him in. He lives with them in the midwest now, and they come up to see my mum like every 18 months.

After that, she decided fostering was for her, and fostered a 13 year old native girl through her entire HS period. Girl was top of her class and took state-level robotics championships. She is now enrolled in a mechanical engineering program, and keeps my mom more abreast of her dreams and goals than her bio parents.

Fostering can work, especially if it's by a strong ol' broad who isn't in it for the money, but misses having kids in the house to nurture.

No, when I went into a group home it was pretty clear I was too much effort / work and had to become a better person. Then she died, which was the kick in the pants to get clean.

that is so beautiful, we all get to have awesome little moments on this forum

My grandmother did the same thing. I have "uncles" that are in no way related by blood, from before the AK state foster program ever became a thing, that are closer to my grandmother and our family than they ever were to their bio parents.

My grandmother and mother are also tied for strongest matriarchs I've ever encountered, so maybe it's a family thing.

The internalization of �Blood is thicker than water� has done so much harm...relations may be biological but family is built.

There was one story way back when in this thread (I think) about an extended family trip to Disneyland or the like, where some dipshit said, �Let�s get all the Smith kids in the photo...no, just the real Smith kids.� I�m so glad that (based on their treatment of my daughter from a prior marriage or any of the foster kids) neither my in-laws nor my family would ever say something so hurtful �and I�m grateful too, because that�s an immediate

There is a reason Thanksgiving and Christmas at my Grandmother's house is 50+ people, only about 60% of them could I trace to me by blood or marriage. Every year, someone new shows up for the first time, realizes it's an amazing place, run by an amazing couple women, and they just stop going to toxic family events and end up in Thanksmas Valhalla with the rest of us, where beer is cracked in the arctic-entryway, drunk next to the fire, and weed is smoked politely in the garage, and a big-ol feast is provided by everyone and enjoyed by everyone.

Also there are dogs that will eat anything you drop. I just realized my thanksgiving/christmas is basically a fantasy novel feast.

Problem is that the definition of a planet involves "clearing your neighborhood", and Mercury has "done this" (mostly by the sun swallowing anything anything it had trouble with/didn't end up in the perfect orbit like it did) but pluto with it's weird angular orbit couldn't do. Never mind there are half a dozen dwarf planets we've found since that act super similar to pluto, it was a thing where we go "oh, and the 10th planet, and oh the 11th! oh and the 12th!" or we go "you must do this thing to ride the rides", and pluto/charon don't fit the criteria.

Having grown up with the wild, and secret beautiful places you only show to certain people, even if they are hard to get to and nobody is going to go there, yeah huge violation of trust.

It's like saying "Well I have this birthmark, and it's shaped like Connecticut, and it's right in the center of my left buttock." And then everyone knows you have a Connecticut-shaped birthmark but not precisely where.
