peer pressure for conformity

Oh yeah.... have not listened to Rush in forever. Thanks.. that was a pick me up!

But several friends and family members are asking if I am a lesbian.

That's where I get into trouble.

I would probably reply with "For a supposedly straight person, you seem awfully concerned about MY sexuality."

(Feel free to steal that line.)

Or "Are you asking me out?"

You have to think how the stupid boys think that way. Look at the mainstream media, pop culture, movies, video games, and social media... they think girls and women should be flat belled, tiny waist, big booty, big chested, with enormous lips, certain shade of skin and dressing like street walkers. Shame on them... that standard of "beauty" cannot be achieved.

I'm all for disciplining... those boys need a spanking... who cares how old they are.

They do not teach in school that everyone's body type is different and perfect just the way they are. People are beautiful the way they were born and should be accepted as such.

I am so sorry that your daughter, the other girls, you and even the parents are going through.

Follow-up on this. 2 of the 3 got a week's vacation (suspension, this was not their first issue), the third had a week's detention. The entire 7th grade class had an assembly called and were told in no uncertain terms that there was zero tolerance for that nonsense. We will see what comes of it.

I had a scammer call me up. Told me someone was buying an I phone on my Amazon account. It would cost over $1000 and I said oh no I don't have that in my account They hung up on me. I called my bank and Amazon ( they had my account info). They never tried because I told them I didn't have any money.

That’s a smart tactic .

Irritates me too, however I have a 91 Toyota Tacoma and those lights are manual. I often have them on even if it's not dark in the winter with snow because it's a white truck. My thinking is it's more difficult to see because it's white and. . . I like running lights anyway.
Me thinks that all grayish/black earth tone vehicles should have running lights in the summer.

Sign of a responsible driver!! I was having this conversation with mini yesterday
He said isn’t it illegal to drive with only 1 headlight….I replied technically yes but obviously not properly enforced. I continued explaining that all but 2 we own have automatic headlights (the other 2 are classic/project cars) and explained headlight use on motorcycles as well!

Rush...one of my all-time favorite bands. Tom Sawyer and Witchhunt are two of my favorite songs of theirs.
