One I just remembered is "good egg." I used that over the New Years' weekend and a friend of mine remarked that she hasn't heard the saying in a long while.
They forget that Jesus was one of us. That's the most striking thing I noticed about that particular mindset. You can't logically honour your religious leader without showing respect for his heritage.
For me, as a Jew, it becomes a time when some are just outright hostile to my husband and I because we say "Happy Holidays." A lack of respect and a lack of inclusion can be extremely depressing during this time of year. Some people have made us feel as though we're not quite fully American for...
Severe depression (for which I was recently hospitalised,) PTSD due to my own father trying to kill my mother and I, and Asperger syndrome on top of pain from injuries due to a car accident nearly three years ago. My husband has a genetic disorder, BPES, that affects his face and eyes. He bears...
My husband and I get our razors on barter from a friend's mom who works for Schick. I can my sauce or help her out with some of their garden projects, wine making etc (they are old school from Portugal) and we get loads of the things in return.
That's where I grew up! I'm from Oak Ridge, but we moved to Morgan County in 1989 (I was born in 1982.) WSJK-TV, or more likely WKOP-TV, six of one just a different channel, was the only thing my mother would allow on TV up until I was 8 or 9, barring a few Saturday morning cartoons. I remember...
We can be like that--I used to ask other children in school why they couldn't spell words properly, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they were offended when I asked them. I wanted to know why. I only found out a few months ago that other people can't see words in their head as...
This morning was the usual instant stuff from Aldi, but yesterday my parents came over, so I brewed Tribal Grounds. It's an enterprise owned by members of my own tribe (I'm enrolled Eastern Band Cherokee) and they make some excellent coffee. I brewed the lighter blend, Sunalei--the name means...
I buy separates all the time, and I just make sure the particular shade of whichever colour matches by taking the item to be matched along with me. If you don't like to be too matchy, just look to the Ivy League styles--blue blazers and light khakis are a big example.
I'm much the same way, but being on the autism spectrum, it's hard for me to understand addiction. I get it from a neurological perspective, but I just can't comprehend a substance ruling my life because for me, it's not possible. It angers people when I ask how they can allow that to happen...
