I looked up European peacock butterflies and they have similar eyespots but a different wing shape to our Buckeyes. Hello from the USA. I hope you’ll share more of your art.

"That's a Christmas miracle" the 13-year-old girl wasn't killed, Judd said. "Jason shot her twice and intended to kill her."
Sure, we’ve got a mother and father dead from domestic violence and lax gun laws, but the real Christmas miracle is that he left three new orphans behind.

100% he never told MIL that the bride didn’t want that song and now, two weeks before the wedding, he’s trying to figure out what to do about it.

One reaction away from anaphylaxis. That’s the problem with allergies, they can be mild, until they’re not. This isn’t joking. Run.

I have a feeling that this IS the way he “co-parented” during the marriage. Now he’s going to use the children to punish her for leaving him.

This clown is like a toddler who smashes his toys and then throws a tantrum when he realizes that they’re broken for good.

Thank you for stepping up!
If the trainers have talked to him and he won’t stop, that’s a management problem. He’s creating a hostile environment and they can be sued for allowing it.
I’m sorry you have to deal with this clown and yes, the “we can always tell” dudes are horrible.

Do you say anything to him like “hey, knock it off, that’s not cool and I don’t want to hear it” or do you just laugh awkwardly and ignore it? Because if it’s the latter, you’re a huge part of the problem.

You men talk a big game online about being “the protectors” but when you actually see a woman being abused, you suddenly turn away and go silent, or blame the woman for “letting” it happen. Spare me your false bravado.
