This is from a few pages ago, but in case anyone wanted to read that:

quote:

I was the biggest “octo” mom ever, also helicopter mom.

My whole life was about my kids; that’s why it was inconceivable to me that 2 out of 3 did this to me.

My first reaction was complete disbelief: this was my life, self esteem, my heart, my soul.

I was nothing: never lived, invisable, dead without my kids. I always loved the saying, “never, ever, never let anyone take away your sparkel.” So many mean, jealous tried to; but my response was, “I live a happy life and couldn’t care less about your opinion.”

I was told by many that my happiness sparkled through my eyes. I knew I was in trouble when I had to practice my smile in the mirror when they left. I wont go through it all, but two of my kids were by far the cruelest people—along with their husbands—I had ever seen. When i took them places, in my mind I counted “1, 2, 3” all night, making sure they never left my sight. No spankings, no punishments, just life lessons. We spent every dime giving them huge birthday and holiday parties; nothing too much, all were invited.

Then these dirt politicians started their lies, and the truth was not in their history books: not what I lived through. They began seeing us as evil, although they were bowing to evil. We always said, “agree to disagree,” which did not suit them. We were just evil. They left us, and blocked me not on one, but two of my birthdays. In layman’s terms, they killed us. My dr. says this is doing irrepable damage to their children, who we had a loving relationship with. They dont care: they are cruel, hateful, and heartless. Also, I was humiliated, as they were the most important in my life. I pray, my message is they will open their eyes and return apoligetically.

I dont know why, but I just can’t do this anymore.

I’ve endured holidays, birthdays, and mother’s days; for some reason I can’t do this one. I just can’t. It’s over for me. I can endure any more heartbreak; since they threw us out, I have developed heart problems (two types of meds), an anyerism, and most recently, lyme desease (which I was told I had had way too long: my bones kill me).

I sleep until 2. After all tests were done on me, I was put on hydrochloroquine and pain medas (25 vials of blood), and ex rays on every joint. It is fatal—cannot be cured at my age—but with my meds, it is manageable.

Several drs said i was sick and could die from a broken heart. I take my meds and remove myself from any upsetting situation i can. This is pure evil, taking of all things, your most precious posession: my kids. I know God will swoop in and save the day, but this mother’s day seems to be my breaking point.

To first-born daughter, your husband clearly abuses you: we know how. And, by the way, sleep deprivation and nooo privacy can get anyone. And your kids love us; what evil thing did you tell them? The devil laughs at your weak soul.

To my second, who has always walked away from anyone, all the time, never looking back: this epidemic is suited to you, even though you were the sweetest, best, beautiful daughter we could have wished for. The evil in you is unhideable.

I pray every day and night for both of your redemption as you follow evil, while playing an act. And after all this, we still love you unconditionally. Guess, try as we did, you went off with evil as soon as you saw it. My only wish: for your salavation.

To my youngest: I knew from conception you were an(d) old, wise soul sent to save us. You have, many times. I know you have a high place in heaven. Thank you for your love, support, and caring heart: it is irreplacable.

I tried not to change too much aside from just punctuation, capitalization, and spacing.

How do I get my girlfriend to stop wearing her nose ring before sex solely because she knows how much I like it?

So a couple years ago my girlfriend got her septum pierced. She absolutely loved it, and I wanted to support her, so I told her it looked great. It wasn’t my thing, but I acted like it was gorgeous because it was obviously her thing. I kept this up through the year that she wore it because she really, really liked it at the time. And hey, her body her choice.

Over time her interest waned, and she started wearing it less and less until eventually not at all. She no longer wears the nose ring. Except when we’re about to have sex. If it’s something semi-planned like after getting home from a nice dinner, she’ll put it on after we get home as she’s undressing. If it’s spontaneous, she’ll sometimes pause to put it on. Every time she says it’s because she knows how much I like it. The truth is, I don’t really like it. At all. I love the person wearing the ring very much. But the ring itself? Could probably do without.

This is why everyone hates moral philosophy professors.

Our sons (18M and 13M) still say "I love you both" every time they leave our room. Our oldest son used to blow kisses to us individually as he left, but he's stopped doing that in the last few months. I guess he hates us now. :( It's the luck of the draw.

I'm not sure why we did the tooth fairy. Our oldest wrote a letter to the tooth fairy that was very adorable at the time, and they lost a tooth when they were at their cousin's place, and the mom asked us our stance on the whole fairy business.

Basic sentiment stands though. Imagine losing a spouse because it had to be Francine and not Valerie. Any spouse. Much less one that assured you freedom and a life of ease.

Maybe he didn't see that episode of Seinfeld.

I mean, a lot of it is cultural. I used to read my kids the story of chanukkah when they were little. I am catholic (bc I was baptized many years ago and according to francis it is impossible to be a former catholic), but I'm pretty sure nobody in my house believes in any sort of higher power. Except the cats, obv. There is a lot about the jewish faith that is just woven into the culture. My kids' cousins had bat mitzvahs and all that, but most of the family is non-practicing. There's just lots of relatives that hold onto the cultural history of judaism, and honestly I think it's kind of nice.

E-ink books are objectively better than paper books. I'm trying to explain this to yins.

They take up less space, they remember where you left off, new books are delivered to you near-instantly, you can prop them up and read while lying down, they have built-in lights, you can have them remember your place across devices, and they have built-in dictionaries.

To be fair, they don't smell as good and it's harder to flip back a few pages to find a spot when you want to refer to something in the past. Also once I tried to dogear the page and it never worked again.
