That’s so funny, what a specific behavior! I really do wonder to what degree we’re all just automatons behaving on the whims of our genes.
don’t keep sweatin’ what I do 'cause I’m gonna be just fine

I love Obvious Plant
Did he speaka your language?
The weird thing is that it’s super commonplace over here, so lots of people do enjoy it. There are a lot of different kinds of potato salad and I’m betting the mega-Karen in the OP is referring to the kind that is pretty much just potatoes in mayo (which, for the record, is disgusting).
Maybe I’m lucky because I live near Pennsylvania Dutch country, but there’s an abundance of good potato salad here.
Well that’s… certainly an opinion o.O
Yeah the Arch Deluxe was seriously amazing
You got it, I’m a very firm believer in ‘different strokes for different folks’!
Understood, that used to bother me too. After a while people realized I was firm and laid off. Other than a few occasional passive-aggressive comments from my mom about how she doesn’t have grandchildren, nobody really says anything anymore.
Edit: whoops, that posted 3 times!

I’m glad it worked out well for you! :)
I hear ya, but I don’t mind - it’s a discussion thread, after all! - and it’s interesting to see a different perspective than my own.
I’m 42 and have known since I was 4 years old that I never wanted to be a mother. It’s seriously one of my earliest memories - I didn’t want to make my bed, my mother was exasperated with me and said “you’ll be sad you treated me so badly when you have kids of your own”… and I remember being just appalled at the thought of being a parent.
I just don’t enjoy children. I like peace, quiet, and order, and the freedom to do what I want without having to factor in children. Plus it looks super stressful to be a parent. I have 2 nephews and a niece, and while they’re good kids, their parents always look so utterly exhausted and overwhelmed. And I’m definitely not good at being an aunt - interacting with children just doesn’t come naturally to me.
Everyone told me I’d grow out of it. I had to fight to get my tubes tied in my mid-twenties (for real, I had to see so many doctors and had a botched Essure procedure at Planned Parenthood before I finally found an OBGYN who would take me seriously!).
No regrets rugrats!
Thank you! Tisanes are not tea. I will die on this hill.
That’s the spirit!
On the plus side, your son will likely have an amazing pension. His retirement is probably more guaranteed than yours!
Like any place, there are pros and cons, and since I’ve never visited, I haven’t been exposed to enough to form a proper opinion. However, here are some of my thoughts:
We could call it the Trenton Makes. Or name it after the Raritan. Or call it the Chris Christie Calorie Bomb Special. Or we could call it The Great Adventure. Or call it something like The 6 and 7 (growing up in Trenton, you get both NYC and Philly channels on TV - for example, Philly 6ABC was on 6 and NYC’s ABC was on 7).
I stink at naming things.
He’s not a New Jerseyan. He’s from Staten Island. They’re all fucking bennies.
Signed - New Jerseyans who hate our state being associated with those people.
I grew up with cats, so my default is under.
