It's been all downhill since the Elizabethan era, and that damnable Shakespeare.

It's quite weird how perspective changes.

At 21 having a medical student sit in on an appointment, I was like, "wow, this guy is only a few years older than me and so mature."

And now at 47, I'm like, "when did they start admitting toddlers to medical school? This dude is a fetus."

Yes. He has 4 honors classes, an AP class, two sessions of music (jazz before school) and then clubs and marching band or symphonic band after school. He has no time to get a job, and as a kid who had to care for her siblings and couldn't do any extras, I wouldn't want him to get one.

Sorry about the other post. I misread the user name somehow!

Doing too many things at once.

Mine is caused by genetics and being brutally beaten by another kid when I was 11. There were fractures in my vertebrae and when they started healing, some of them made bridges between them.

It's wild that when I gave birth, I was legally required to allow the hospital (and my physicians) to draw blood and test me for STIs, but the state of Utah is acting like their hands are tied about compelling this man to be tested for measles that his doctor says he almost certainly for sure has.

There are a whole lot of obgyns that do not believe that the cervix has nerve endings and that it doesn't hurt to do things like biopsies or IUD placements.

My husband and I are a similar age. We're '78 babies and in 2009 we bought a house that we absolutely could not afford to pay current market value for, even though my husband's income has doubled. We have a 3.5% FHA mortgage with no MIP and we are not budging from this place.

It was the early 90's! Teal was EVERYWHERE.

Teal and purple.

And WHYYYY is it filled with straight pins?!

Seriously! I literally was begging to not be beaten within an inch of my life by a neighbor kid who cracked several ribs and some vertebrae *just for fun* when I was 10, and I also never asked for the hEDS or the genetic tendency toward spinal arthritis that started in my 20s.

OMG LIFE HACK! Thank you so much!

Some of us have shitty genetics, Annette. My vertebrae began fusing themselves together in my 20s.

Why would we pay $20k for a chore bot when my 14 year old already does this shitty a job for us for $20 a week?

I was taught by my working class family that you offer the cold drinks and the bathroom as soon as they get there.

I know how that goes. I have a first cousin once removed that is also my sister and my niece. My family tree kind of resembles the one from "Once Upon A Time"

llamalluv @llamalluv.bsky.social · 6d

My best friend's kids call me Aunt and my kids call her Aunt, and my husband took like a year to get comfortable with it, but he had a massively large closely knit family that lived in one tri-county area, so he was told to stuff it with his blood or marriage take.

llamalluv @llamalluv.bsky.social · 6d

I also feel damn sorry for those people. I'm 47 years old, my mom has been dead for nearly 15 years, and I know I could pick up the phone right now and call her best friend since grade school days and talk about her, but I better not forget to say "Aunt Barbara."

I have this complaint as well, but also: how does my husband who sleeps like a log, manage to pull the bottom sheet off the bed? It gets all bunched up and wrinkled and then my princess and the pea fibromyalgia gets all tetchy and I wake up and can't get back to sleep.

These people want the struggling masses to just move into cemeteries.

Sincere thank you to this person, because TIL this, *yet another thing* that I was supposed to have somehow understood despite not even one English teacher explicitly saying it during our journalism units!

Calamity Bunny @calamitybunny.bsky.social · 9d

He seems to think that’s what op-ed means and is trying to show off that knowledge. Guess they didn’t have a page opposite to the editorial page on his high school paper.

That's exactly what it looks like! 😆
