Durham's geriatric millennial. Politics. Kids. Gossip. Gratuitous swearing.
Anyone have a 'how much people spend on kid presents by hh income?'

The ones I've seen are way off. Parent forum participants bragging about only spending $50/kid on presents for holidays.

I have had two online orders canceled in the past 24 hrs.

One was a v nice item my kids get me for my birthday each year that was on deep discount. The other toys that are clearly still in stock at the store

The internet breaking sucks

Heard cats at the food bowl early, licking it and trying to get it to release food and assumed it was Mr. Alfred Butterpickles but no, it was tiny little Maisy who pushed it over and was battling for dryfoods.

I checked out the Costco trees ($59) after being shocked at the prices at the trosa lot last year. We ended up w/a trosa tree for $118 that was probably 3 feet taller and at much much fuller

Last year I retold Count of Monte Cristo to the fam as I drove us home and they are asking if I'll finish the story tomorrow.

Asking what the last parts are they remember and its somewhere in part two or three (rain of blood. How a gardener may get rid of doremice)

Have a week off work and thinking about culling the records.

Or maybe I'll clean closets?

I forget, every single time, that the $19 price point for the entree at lime and lemon is three meals at least.

Wow. That guardian article about free birth is wild in all of the horrible painful ways.

Those poor families.

Love/hate seeing extra adults at dropoff this morning.

I was recognized by the hotel coffee shop worker who commented that she had not seen me on the past couple of weeks and was everything okay.

In fact yes! I made it a whole month without staying overnight!

My kids school just sent a message explicitly saying that if they show up the school is going on lockdown and they will not be allowed in. No walking field trips. Extra adults.

We keep us safe. 💛💙♥️

Dreamed my MIL was I town and had helped by randomly putting away clothes in drawers. 5 family members, 25 drawers, all random.

Laying on the floor, putting my face on the cold boards, elevating my legs, and focusing on my breathing to avoid a panic attack when the teen asked if I needed my rescue med.

No, I'm fine.

Had to literally speak aloud that clearly I was not and that I have a prescription for this exact thing

Yesterday I was in a room w/30 14-17yos planning a spring event.

They are still children. They havent reached their full heights yet. They still have cartoon characters on their clothes. They watch to see what everyone else is doing before acting.

Men preying on kids are sick.

Love reading discussion forums with questions asking how scientifically something would work and others pointing out it's a dystopian YA fantasy romance novel

Wild times. At a cookie training and people talking about adults stealing cookie money. People are strange.
