@briallenhopper Exactly! My husband works on cures for rare diseases. It pays garbage. I’m like “idgaf about cures for illnesses I will never get, quit this stupid research and get a real job that makes some $$. The kids who have these diseases aren’t my kids.”

@katerynparr @RyanMarino I’ve heard this before, that cocaine and coffee are the same. I’ve always wanted to try cocaine but I thought it was too dangerous. But if even medical doctors are saying it’s the same as coffee, I don’t see a reason NOT to switch. It seems much more fun than gross coffee.

@DeRushaJ B/c this will increase taxes & I struggle to pay for my own kids food, much less other peoples. My kids don’t like the schools lunches, so always pack their own or just skip breakfast/ lunch. It’s cool u want universal lunch but it’s silly to pretend it won’t hurt other families

@NoreenWise777 @violin4all Yes, Californians should do like birds and butterflies do and move to where the resources are. In nature, lakes don’t move for the benefit of others. And a of the few things that liberals and conservatives in Michigan agree on, is the Great Lakes stay here.

@kar_nels @JohnBauters I live well w/in walking distance of two grocery stores, several restaurants. But I have to walk through parking lots & unpaved paths. I CAN do it. But more people WOULD if it were safer, marked & pleasant. Pleasantness doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

@kimnagy58 @beyond_process Yes, it’s definitely school dependent. I’m so glad west Ottawa has one! My kids school is HUGE, and we’re a blue-ish area, it’s a real loss here.

@marie_donigan It’s really damaging to the local waterways too, like the Rouge River watershed. We find high salt levels there all year long. There are alternatives, it’s just a question of which one will be safe for drivers, economical, and also less damaging to our ecosystems.

@ElenaKanagyLoux @lingerie_addict I read her books and watched her show. On her show she spent an episode helping a woman organize her giant Santa collection. She’s not a minimalist! She’s a “keep what makes you happy”-ist!

@araghougassian As the default happy, positive and optimistic partner, I’m exhausted. Maybe my husband chose well and I didn’t?

@DrSusanOliver1 My husband is a well-respected researcher in his (very small) field. I tell him AT LEAST once a week that he needs to follow the money and lie and be a right wing shill. Ethical? No. Will I care while we are finally taking real vacations? Also no!

[BigMetalChicken @TryTheFootDip]

@holly_bourneYA Same experience! And my son didn’t sleep through the night until he was 11. I nearly moved out of the house I was so desperate for sleep. And then one day, he slept, and it’s been fine since then.

@RadioFreeTom My 15yo twins want their licenses so badly! Drivers ed classes will be $500, insurance $500/mo. They would have to borrow *MY* car...which I need every day. Back when I was 16, drivers ed was free, insurance $150/mo and my own first car was $500. The math is different now.

[BigMetalChicken @TryTheFootDip]

@clhubes I always wonder too if people realize…it’s not like you say “no” to a kid once and they’re like “Yknow what mom? You’re right, I will stop” You have to do it a thousand times before they figure it out! Teaching kids to behave isn’t a one and done thing!

[BigMetalChicken @TryTheFootDip]

@ShannonJCurtin I used to wear a dress uniform to school and on the day we had gym we were allowed to wear jeans and we felt so free and…omg, what a terrible thing to run in!

[BigMetalChicken @TryTheFootDip]

@DawnEMcKenzie My husband and I both work 45+ hours a week and the best meat we buy is chicken or ground beef (on sale only).

[BigMetalChicken @TryTheFootDip]

@DeePhunk We used to tell the kids there was a dollar hidden in a drawer there and then in the very last dresser, they’d find it, because we had snuck it in there seconds before. Fun way to spend an hour.

[BigMetalChicken @TryTheFootDip]

@DeePhunk Pre-covid I took my kids every Tuesday. Kids ate free, so dinner was $10 for the five of us. Then we’d go to the little rooms and the kids would play pretend, then to the kids play area and me and husband walked around kid-free for an hour with our coffees.

@brad5320 @sarahnferris @Lis_Smith Plus Dems in Michigan flipped the state house and state senate blue for the first time in FORTY YEARS! Listen to Michigan Dems! They know stuff!

@Codie_Sanchez Stores bring in palettes of door busters - they’re often sub par quality items that are ONLY sold as Black Friday promos.
