@omgsidewalks Pay structures are based on the value of the job, not your "worth as human beings". That's why skilled labor pays better than unskilled labor.
If you're insulted by your paycheck, up your skillset.

If that marriage does ever break up, he'll do what he's always done and blame "the press" and "the institution".
He'll never take accountability for the estrangement.
I mean, who jokes about thinking of blowing up their father's car, then "sparing" his life like he did in that ridiculous book?
I wouldn't trust him on the same continent as the RF, Much less in the same homes.

@PamelaSpeaksNow @niceblackdude @haroldbarn30589 One of those families didn't "lose" their son, though. He'll just be relocated to a new address.

@Pizazz29 @storiesbyjemay They're always not going somewhere they weren't actually invited to avoid taking the "spotlight" off the main guests of honor. Never mind that they're the ones turning that spotlight on themselves by cutting those Backgrif checks and releasing those statements.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

That's actually not true. Birds have a very bad sense of smell. They won't reject a baby bird just because it's handled. They may, though, if the baby is injured.
If the baby you found has feathers, the parent will feed it on the ground, which often happens when a fledgling is trying to fly and falls out of the nest.
If you can't find the original nest, you can use a box filled with straw, sticks, and leaves to replicate the nest and place it close to where the nest was.
Keep an eye on it to see if the parent bird returns to it over several hours. If not, you may be able to find a rehabber in your area to help.

Exactly! Wish they'd make up their minds between "women can do anything men can do" and "women are such delicate creatures that they can't take insults or criticisms that men would probably just shrug off or give back as good as they get".
I know I don't expect to walk through life unchallenged because of my "girl parts", nor do I believe I'm physically capable of competing with men on an equal playing field.

@mmebovary32680 @Am_hailey But some food is "good" and some food is "bad" nutritionally. I see nothing wrong with an adult making some choices for the welfare of the child that the child may not appreciate. Free access to junk food when healthier choices are available is one of those things.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@StrikeBelow @Am_hailey I don't see the problem with it. Sounds like there are plenty of healthy options available for free snacking. If she wants to control access to the junk that will displace the actual nutritious stuff if they're given unfettered access, what's the problem with that?

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@julestcb @MeghansMole @IfnotnowW8586 Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that she already has that little girl out there working. They need the cash, I hear.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

I don't know, but I'd have to say that whether my relatives married into money or not, if I had a huge portfolio of family owned properties going back centuries, I'd probably be housing my family members for free, too. Well, some of them, anyway. Especially my siblings and favorite cousins, just to have them close.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@NotKennyRogers Or would that be 2 for 0? I always get that backwards.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@NotKennyRogers Hurray for us! I believe this makes us 0 for 2 in snatching pro football teams from other states. 😁🏉🐴🐻

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

So, if an additional 199,999 posts aren't made about all of those nothing should be said about this one?? No reason to call out one evil act if they don't call out every single one, huh?
How about extrapolate from this one that the OP is equally disgusted by those, too, but those aren't online monetizing it for attention, sympathy, and $$, so we'll just use this one to make the point, OK?

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

Honestly, though, the devil has had a hold on this world for a very long time. Social media just let's us see the utter depravity in real time multiple times every day.
Much as I'd like to believe that most people are good, the fact that we have to actively seek out the positive stories while the ugly ones inundate us 24/7 is discouraging.
Even on those positive feeds that highlight good works being done by those in our communities, there's no lack of naysayers and critics in the comments attached to them.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@hilltopjennifer Already got her started on the ubiquitous gold bracelet, but can't be bothered to put shoes on the child's feet.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@TheTruthSeekerE @MeghansMole You have no way of knowing what his wife knows or doesn't know. To excuse this because "there's no way his wife doesn't know" is just gross.
And do you really think finding out a parent has been cheating on their other parent for years isn't a big deal??

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

There are community mailboxes like this all over the place. The only time the full door is open is when the carrier is actively delivering the mail. You know, the one who has the authority to actually handle the mail going into it. Otherwise, only the person with the key to the individual door can open their own slot.
Have you never seen these kinds of community mailboxes before? Very common in apartments and even some newer subdivisions.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

Sorry, no. There's nothing going on in someone else's life that makes it OK to insert themselves into someone else's marriage. ONLY way that could be excused would be if they didn't know, but as soon as it's found out, you remove yourself from that situation posthaste. I don't care what the wife thinks about it, if she even knows. I don't care what the husband tells someone about his marriage. Married people are off limits, period. If he (or she) wants to cheat on a spouse, it's not something any decent person would want to be party to, especially with children involved. Yes, there are horrible things going on in the world, just as you said, but having been on the wrong side of that equation where I was the one cheated on, I can tell you it's a painful place to be. If someone doesn't want to be where they are, they need to make a clean break of it before stepping out with someone else. If they just want a little action on the side with no intention of leaving their family, they're lower than dirt and why any decent woman - or man, in the case of a philandering wife - would want to participate it that is beyond me and inexcusable. The last thing I'll do is feel sorry for someone capable of participating in that kind of betrayal against a spouse and family. Nothing "heartbreaking" about Nancy's little pity party other than for the wife and children.
Your age and previous occupation doesn't mean you've acquired any particular wisdom that would allow someone to excuse infidelity.

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@Halo_Jones_ @RVealingthenarc Thanks! I've spent too much time on social media. I was about to go look at the urban dictionary for the explanation. 🤣

[BeckiLB @BeckiBB]

@XOQueenEsther It's hard to look at these photos and see any family resemblance at all, much less brothers. Even if the rumors about Haz's paternal parentage are true, they still have the same mum. But, sheesh, what happened to the second-born?
