@KantonLexington@OpinionsInFlux@LUrbaniste We do the exact same thing. At least here in Memphis we do. Suburbs are different in different communities and cities. I saw kids biking or walking everywhere. I walked everywhere with my kids. No movie theater near but pool (table), arcades, and parks are close.
@LUrbaniste IDK, some suburbans over the country are different from others. But the ones here have corner stores, bars, restaurants, doctors, folks selling veggies and fruit on the corner, library and the mall close. Now living in the city, small yard and I have to drive almost everywhere.
@LUrbaniste We planted gardens, some people had livestock like chickens, goats, ducks, turkeys, etc. We had a public bus and school bus system. Lots of stores and businesses, some run out of homes. We liked our 1/2 acre, the kids had lots of running space and our neighbors were 10 steps away
@LUrbaniste I lived in the suburbs of Memphis, TN for most of my life. We had sidewalks on all major streets, just not in some of the neighborhoods. Kids played with each other, rode bikes, rode scooters, played on playgrounds. The Kroger, restaurants, schools, and Walmart were a walk away
@stephenRB4 I was always obsessed with Hamlet. The motivations, the intrigue, the murders, the ghosts. Poor, depressed Ophelia. Is he or isn't he insane. I loved the new(er) take on it via Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. #WritingCommunity#Shakespeare
@storiesbyryanbs My Grandma liked to read and had a lot of books that weren't kid friendly, but I read them anyway. So, Thorn Birds, The Wedding Bargain by Agnes Turnbull, Salem's Lot, The Prodigal Son, Lots of Stephen King, Agatha Christie, and Romances. They make me think of my Grandma.
@storiesbyryanbs Flowers in the Attic series. Read when I was 11 or 12. I remember the graves and the revenge. Hamlet, talking to his father's ghost. The Cask of Monticello, the wall. Cujo, the dog's thoughts. Ten Little Indians, the pool scene. My Sweet Audrina, her "sister's" bedroom.
@storiesbyryanbs The 1967 version of The Fox and the Hound. The fact that they became best friends before the world told them they were different and should hate each other. And they remained friends even though their worlds kept them apart. #LoveIsBlind
@megancarpentier My "period cramps" were adenomyosis. I eventually had to have a hysterectomy. Funny how any other ailment that came with bleeding, possible anemia, vomiting, sudden migraines, dizziness, and severe pelvic, thigh, back and stomach pain would allow you to have time off.
@megancarpentier Loved Karen. As a Gen Xer, the gen that said fuck it, let me smoke, drink, listen to, believe in what I want & work how I want. Yeah, I'm 🤣. Ur upset means meh to me. My Gen Zer nephews, Millennial sister & cousins now think I'm so cool. I'm like I'll give u liquor if u go away.
At the GYN taking care of lady biz & 3 separate folks came n & asked if I left a wee sample. So now I feel like there's a #masked weirdo urophiliac bandit running around with my name on a cup doing... ???😯😖 These visits r uncomfortable enough.😬 #1girlnocup#thursdayvibes
Okay so why'd this darn podcast I played for my 4yo about a sofa named Sofia being set out at the street have me bawling? #parenting#thursdaymorning#thursdayvibes https://t.co/Tn7q2QU2B2
@MaryleeMacD Depends on what you mean. In my head or on paper/ screen? Five on paper/ screen, working: 30-300pgs. 30+ book covers and rear jackets I made 4 works 2 start writing. Several others still fleshing out for characters/ plot/ stories. I get caught talking to myself A LOT.
@sweetmomissa I'm getting my husband a card, a bunch of candy and junk food at the grocery last minute like he did for Mother's Day. At least I won't pick out stuff that his doctors specifically told him he couldn't eat because he could have a seizure and die.
@showupforthis Yeah. I had that same crush. I didn't know about the dead evil things until my husband showed me the first movie years later. Still crushing on him.
@todrick Hall got me up late at night cryin' an' shit. Straight Outta OZ should have got him Straight into #Oscars & #GRAMMYs. This is Multi-educational Content and Wrong Bitch bops hard. Watching Forbidden next. #Pride#BlackLivesMatter#PrideMonth
