I'm well aware of how screwed I got... I'm hoping that in the next year or so I'll be able to re-litigate with a different lawyer. I was so desperate to get out of that marriage, I took some bad advice.
My biggest problem is that my life hasn't been the most stable since I left her. The sick amount of money I have to give her every month certainly hasn't helped.
Uhhh, I'm a Xennial and this hits hard. I am basically paying for her mortgage with the amount of money I have to give my ex every month. She has always had zero ambition, so I was always getting raises, and by the time we split, our finances were in two very different places, so the court said I have the luxury of paying her monthly just to be rid of her.
And how much is the athletics program bringing in vs. spending? That's always my first question. The article isn't specific, but it implies that it's in the red.
I mean... they're not wrong.
Woodchipper. Just be sure to do it in the middle of the night when it's impossible for anyone to hear you because they're sleeping.
What if you only have one foot?
I'm a teacher. I bought this book for my own children. It's a book about being true to yourself, even when you don't feel like you fit in. You don't have to be "blue" or "pink" if you feel like you fit into both categories.
Yes, it's a book about being trans, but there are other ways to read the book, especially if your audience is young. Accepting and loving yourself. Inclusion. Tolerance. It's a sweet book, and so of course people are going to get mad... it teaches kids acceptance, not hate!
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was the first dystopia that I ever read. I'd gotten so enamored with all of the various utopias in sci-fi, especially Star Trek, that the idea that the opposite might exist hadn't previously occurred to me. While it didn't change me in a day-to-day kind of way, it helped me make sense of the world around me. I have always loved Star Trek, but it never seemed like humanity was truly headed in that direction.
BNW, 1984, and others helped me understand the world around me, which I think made me a better person in the end. Am I going to be a party to the creation of these kinds of worlds, or am I going to try to help move humanity in the other direction?
I've heard of fundraisers where members of the community are "arrested" and taken to actual jail by actual police until a certain amount of dollars are raised in that person's name. This sounds a lot like that, just scaled up.
My dad's stepbrother participated in one once. We knew ahead of time what was going on, so when he called to say he was "in jail" and needed help, my dad told him that he hoped my step-uncle would rot in jail and hung up. (He then called the official donation line and donated in his stepbrother's name.)
Pretty sure that's wood.
Sounds interesting, but I need to know if this is a kissing book.
Chill. He's wearing a medieval tunic.
This is fine.
No, the Belgians.
It's likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents--and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.
Exactly. Why go and share a stage with a bunch of people who are trailing him so much in the polls when he can go sit down with Tucker Carlson and get all the attention.
I can't say that I've followed this case closely, but I have never heard a reason why. Obviously, she's sick, but how do you do something like this "just because"?
I'll be right over!
Mmmmm.... raw chicken..... 🤤
Imagine spending 40 years telling the world what is going to happen if people don't do something drastic, only to be mocked, paid lip service, and completely ignored. That pretty much says it all.
