@superkeara I was sixteen and at that point I was so glad that I finally got my period for the first time. What was I thinking?

@Michell91048953 @Kitsilano65 @ananavarro Agree! Being born a Royal (or marrying into the family) has certain benefits. Privacy is not one of them.

@JollesMary I am so sorry about your loss. Losing a beloved husband is so difficult. The good news about grief: you WILL eventually feel better. The bad news: it takes a really long time.

@willhunt__ @MelissaClark @nytcooking Read the interesting article by @MelissaClark in @nytcooking and it led me to YOU! Cant wait to read more.

@jennifer_tanaka @dog_rates Well…he DOES have a license. 🤷‍♀️

@rey_of_liqht @MamamacSue @jsparkblog Not sure…! But also, someone responded to my post and said I shouldn’t use the word “politically correct” either. Did you see that comment? I’ll add it to the list!

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@OuchieTimes @MamamacSue @jsparkblog I know…me too, right? Folks just seemed so neutral. All I know is an African American student berated a professor friend of mine for using folks and I just assumed it had significance. Language is easy to change so I did.

@bluejays905 @MarvellousMrsP @thoughtbbl @C4Dispatches @ellieflynn Ok…but please don’t use the “R” word. I work with people who have cognitive disabilities and it is just about the worst thing you can ever say.

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@bluejays905 @MamamacSue @jsparkblog That’s ok. Compared to mean comments others have made on various topics I am surprised how nice everyone has been about this! I’m going to follow you bluejay!

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@Dusty_Zee @MamamacSue @jsparkblog Ok! Language is easy to change.

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@bluejays905 @MamamacSue @jsparkblog Yep…just going through life trying to do the right thing! Didn’t really think about it but a black student berated a professor friend of mine for using “folks” so I figured there was something to it.

@sagamaraia @sickafterfive @jsparkblog I was describing some symptoms to my friend who is a doc. He said, “I have just TWO WORDS for you.” Ashamed, I said, I know…lose weight. He looked at me confused and said, “No, FLU SHOT!” Changed my perspective on my own thinking!

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@MamamacSue @jsparkblog Ok, so I recently learned that “folks” is politically incorrect. Same rational as “Master bedroom”. I’ve stopped using both.

@KatrinePeterse9 @drjoshfunk @DrZoffness You miss being called a child? Isn’t a “girl” like 8-17 years old?

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@drjoshfunk @DrZoffness Sorry…just have to comment! @drjoshfunk you SO don’t get it. Frustrating! PLEASE get some sensitivity training. You seem too young to be holding onto archaic ideas.

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@DecaybkJulie @alyankovic Such a beautiful response.

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@RossKneeDeep @micsolana Yea…I was thinking the same thing. Instead of Snakes on a Plane…S*^t on a Plane.

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@Gianeedsanap @casa_roberts_tx @micsolana Totally agree. Well said!

[Mary Alice @tiuPsyched]

@ApeIsrael @CHSommers @micsolana This whole thing just gets more and more hilarious. I do feel for the dog, however, and @Apelsrael does have a good point.

@AmandaKruzel @tjbsd25 @Bobbeh1 @PaulESpector @ashleyruba @APA When the APA conference is held in Hawaii they always have one of their largest turn outs! 🤣 FYI…as a PhD Psychologist, I find my APA membership invaluable!
