I’m also 35, and I remember the red ones. But my mom ate a lot of pistachios and sunflower seeds when she quit smoking in the mid 90s

Well now I’m wondering what those stains were. Did they dye them red because the people picking them had their hands bleeding? We were all just ingesting small amounts of laborer’s blood?

The only who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man

Is this real? I could really use a prayer buddy right about now. Someone who could pray at me real fast. Fast and rough prayer. The kind of fast and rough prayer that makes it hard to walk tomorrow

She was a Baptist, not a Muslim, but my grandmother was a member of a church that did routine daytime fasting and she would do this. Do me a favor, and just ask those you trust to tell you if you appear too sick to fast. Sometimes we don’t always know where we’re at without checking in with others. She made herself very, very sick one time by refusing not to fast when she was already ill, and she nearly died.

It was the lack of water that landed her in the hospital, not the lack of food.

Stay safe, and lots of love 💕

… That’s not an actual episode… Right?

Why does that look so much like my brother had a baby with Leonardo DiCaprio? I’m disturbed

Yeah, Little Man is the best baby. I can’t wait until I get to see him again. I know everyone thinks the kid in their family is special and whatnot, but I swear, that kids a born scientist. If nurtured, he’s gonna be amazing at whatever he sets out to do

My nephew is so cool. He’s 20 months, and if he picks something up he shouldn’t have, or if you need him to stop doing something, you can just hold your hand out for it and say “let me have that” or tell him “you gotta stop, buddy” and he just fucking does it. Sometimes he gets this look like “damn, they caught me!” And he just moves on to the next thing, and never cries about it or anything. He’s the happiest, sweetest baby I’ve ever seen, and it’s genuinely scary how smart he can seem at times

I think we need a new category that includes dwarf planets and moons, but does not include gas giants and anything too small to have an atmosphere. Basically a “could be terraformed in a sci-fi novel” category.

When I was a kid, about 10 or so, I had a basset hound named Amy. She was amazing. Everyone loved her. Total neighborhood dog that everyone in the neighborhood felt like was their baby, too.

We also had a bully named Travis who was an awful little shit. We all generally avoided him, even when he would throw shit at us or hit us.

My friend Hailey was super nonconfrontational. But when Travis intentionally ran over Amy with his bike, Hailey ran after him on foot, managed to catch him as he peddled his dark and stinking heart out, ripped him off his bike by his hair, tore the chain guard off of his bike, and beat him so badly with that by the time the rest of us had caught up to the two of them to pull Hailey off or Travis she had broken his nose, gashed his arm, and broken two of her own fingers, presumably on his face.

Travis never fucked with our dog again

We did the same thing, but I was the smart dumbass who knew that’s how you lose fingers, so I had us hide behind a board and drop a bowling ball into it. It cracked the fucking ball! My parents were livid

I love this comment chain so much. You have not linked anything now. Lmao

Did you mean to link me to the chocolate milk comment? Have I hurt you in some way‽ D: haha

Ha! I love that joke at the end.

It is tough being AMAB and loving the caring aspects of life. It’s as if the world sees you as a predator, and inside you’re just wanting to protect and love and care. It’s sad :(

God, it’s remarkable how similar that is to me. I’m not ace, and I’m only NB in secret, but holy shit. Same. My dad’s reaction was less awful, though

I’m so fucking impressed, and simultaneously I feel like a dumbass for never getting it

I’d be down to try that cough syrup

Oh my God

I always knew there was a reason God didn’t make me a rich man.
