Carlin drunk?

Anyone think Carlin sounded drunk on her instastort or is she just being ridiculously giddy?

Just need to vent

I hate Feb 4 & 5th. 6 years ago today marks the last time I talked to my baby cousin. He texted me pictures of snow something he knew I loved. We talked back and fourth and he told me how excited he was to move from Chicago to Colorado. I had to run so we said “ I love you and miss you.” And that was that. He seemed so happy so happy... 10 hours later he took his life. Nobody knew until 24 hours later... I remember the call that changed my life. How my aunt called me and kept asking me to sit down. The phone ringing at 2am, my dad sobbing . How I had to start chemo later that day . I hid like a child under the blankets kn my old room at my parents house. I didn’t want to take the phone when my dad called me down stairs ... I knew something awful had happened ... My baby cousin had taken his own life. That day was the hardest day of my entire life. I still hurt. I still break down crying every anviersary of his suicide. It’s been years and this aniversary has never gotten easier. My heart still breaks. The super bowl is always a fucking reminder so I can never forget it because I always associate the last day I spoke to him as super bowl Sunday the 4th day of a month that I fucking hate.

To clear up my last post

About men being OBGYN’s. I support any human who peruses a job in the medical field. However , I do not personally feel comfortable with a male OBGYN because of my experience with males in my life ( my father being verbally and emotionally abusive and being sexually assaulted and raped by an ex BF and my cousins roommates; 3 of them all at once .) This is an issue that I realize may sound strange to some of you and I understand if there is outrage because of my view. I do not think that being a male OBGYN’s makes one a pervert. however after the events that happened with Larry Nassar ans USA Gymnastics I can see how one may fear that. I personally believe that listening to everyone’s view points and finding a common ground better opens the door to communication and even change someone’s mind. I apologize if my response offended anyone.

😅😂

[thriftstorepickles]

As crazy as Zsusanna Anderson is I agree with her Thinking that men ob/GYNs are perverts. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with one. I’m sure most people feel that way.

Same!!!! I had to get checked out when I had appendicitis and it was a dude and I felt so uncomfortable...

Do you think any of the Duggar and/or Bates will get a tattoo/tattoos in the future? I read somewhere that JB might have one under his wedding ring. Jeremy also has one. But I wonder about anyone else? 🤔

I can see Josie getting one and Lawson getting one of those tribal bands on his arm

“I don’t think that anything happens by coincidence. No one is here by accident. Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later. The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason.”

“The best thing about the bedroom was the bed. I liked to stay in bed for hours, even during the day with covers pulled up to my chin. It was good in there, nothing ever occurred in there, no people, nothing.”

[countingandsnarkingon]

All the other girls got nice\cute courtposals and Jessa got asked in a closet with her parents in attendance with JimBob recording it on his phone 

[blessamuffins]

why does this sound like an episode of parks and rec.

[countingandsnarkingon]

But Ben is arguably the best husband and dad out of the bunch so I guess Jessa won in the end

[darnduggars]

#accurate @countingandsnarkingon I’d never wanna be married to any of the guys who’ve gone really over the top for courtposals (aka Nathan, Evan, Kelton, etc)

[thriftstorepickles]

Agreed with @countingandsnarkingon and @darnduggars . If I ever find a man that loves me enough to propose I would like it to be surprise and something that is “us”. If that’s in our jammies in our living room, under the stars... it will Be Memoriable regardless there’s no point in making a major deal about it

[fundiefanatic-s]

Does anyone watch YouTube families who basically just seem perfect and have the perfect kids and husband and house and you just sit there depressed because your life sucks but you’re actually addicted and can’t stop watching?

[granddaddycaldwell]

omg Ellie and Jared make me cry on the regular because I’m so jealous, like they just bought 52 acres of land and I’m nearly 100k in debt

[thriftstorepickles]

I do this with Cole and Sav, The McKnight family from “Cute girl hairstyles” ( like I watch all the kids Chanels) Shawn Johnson East and Andrew east. I used to watch Bratayley. I am a loser. lol

[purplebuddhaquotes]

“‘Do you ever feel that way?’ ‘Lonely?’ I search for the words. ‘Restless. As if you haven’t really met yourself yet. As is you’d passed yourself once in the fog, and your heart leapt - ‘Ah! There I Am! I’ve been missing that piece!’ But it happens too fast, and then that part of you disappears into the fog again. And you spend the rest of your days looking for it.’”

— Libba Bray

[purplebuddhaquotes]

“I was in my house, alone in the living room, anxious about you, watching the flashes of lightning. And a flash of lightning lit up this truth for me, right in front of my eye. That night I lost you, I lost something inside me. Or perhaps several things. Something central to my existence, the very support for who I am as a person.”

— Haruki Murakami

[thriftstorepickles]

Is Jinger wearing a purity ring that young???

[thriftstorepickles]

I read in Reddit

That the official Bates family instagram “liked a comment regarding Jan and Lawson making a cute couple... thoughts? Did anyone actually see this or is it just a rumor?

[thriftstorepickles]

Random question

Has anyone ever used the diva cup or something similar? I am terrified to use it for some reason

“Teach your sons not to be assholes.”

WHAT IS THIS SJW BULLSHIT

[warframe]

anyway let me know when men are illegal

[veiledengineer]

Gillette: Hey, maybe call out bullshit when you see it, and raise your sons to respect other people as people. Also, don’t be a cat-calling creep deserving of getting called out.  Morons: ANTI-MEN PROPAGANDA! THIS IS AN ATTACK ON MASCULINITY. 

[throwrocksatboys]

“Boys will be boys” is used to excuse boys who harass and beat up other boys for being different, for being gay, for being a nerd, for showing normal human emotion, for daring to like the colour pink. “Boys will be boys” is used to excuse date rape. “Boys will be boys” is used to excuse any and all behaviour of boys.

Toxic masculinity absolutely does exist. Toxic masculinity is what caused my ex to flip shit when our son discovered tap shoes. Toxic masculinity is what makes people think it’s appropriate to think - and then say - that my son whines too much “for a boy” and is too sensitive “for a boy”. Toxic masculinity is why society has this imbedded belief that any man in the fashion industry or dance world or interior design world is gay. Toxic masculinity is why boys are berated for having long hair. Toxic masculinity tells little boys they can play with action figures but not barbie dolls. Toxic masculinity insists that the boy dolls sold by Walmart and Target and American Girl are for the little girls who wants boyfriends and brothers for their dolls, and not for those girls’ brothers who just want to be able to plays dolls with their sisters and have a doll that looks like them since their sisters do.

And that’s just some of the ways toxic masculinity affects boys. I haven’t even touched on her it affects girls.
