It will perhaps not shock you that her sister was an elementary school teacher and she was briefly a HS teacher and then went on to a long civil service career.
And I have always been the poor dumb one who went wrong early.
TDS sets up brain dysfunction so theyтАЩre really vulnerable to all the propaganda. Sad. I know people like this too. Amazing how the people dubbed the poor тАЬdumb onesтАЭ are often the smartest in the room, and have more common sense.
My feelings towards Trump, until Saturday, were entirely a sort of pitying contempt.
I still feel pitying contempt for all the times he utterly failed to meet the moment but finally he met the moment and rose to it. There ain't enough ginger tea in the world to ease my kishkes.
No, I have been throughout the entire course of my life been extraordinarily fortunate in my friendships, and this one has been there for me a few times when I really absolutely needed her. I ain't been hanging on with her from sheer masochistic thrillseeking.
I get that. My little sister says, "never mistake her quietness as agreement or passivity. SheтАЩs quietly weighing your worth, and if you escape unscathed itтАЩs because the scales were weighted in your favor."
Lots of people never graduate from school...and grow older but never become adults...I tend to think if high school was really good and fun for you( ie you were head cheerleader 9r prom queen) ....you never manage to mentally leave. If you hated it like me..school was torture until i could get the he'll out. No happy memories.
When I went to my 10th high school reunion, I saw those types of people and what the real world did to them: Bitter divorces, drugs and alcohol problems, poor choices. I was happily married with 3 kids. Went to my 20th and more were mature but a couple still held their high school mentalities. Last year was my 45th. We all got along great because we've all experienced real life. The one queen bee in high school showed up with her high profile husband in their brand new Range Rover expecting to be treated like royalty. They were actually kind of shunned and I saw it on her face. It humbled her. Yes, I'm still happily married (45 years next month) with still the 3 kids, 2 grandkids, and 1 great-granddaughter. Moderation is key in all things.
She was skipped twice in elementary school and then was in the accelerated two-year middle school track as I was and she was always one of the youngest in class while I was always one of the oldest. She started college at 16. Was never ever properly with a peer group. It's bad to be very very smart and very very young in all your classes. She never fit in anywhere but I think she thought she was less weird than I was.
Your friend sounds like she never graduated from fifth grade. Either did her sister.

Come over here and sit by me.
Just make tender stroking motions from afar and I'll feel 'em.

Had to look up 'kishkes' and was not disappointed.
A little familiarity with Yiddish is good for everyone.
L'Chayim!
Lmao
Trust me there's zero hilarity. Since Saturday I've been unable to find the words to describe what I'm feeling.
You poor soul

Substack needs a laughing button
When they add this feature, SCA will jump straight to the Top 10 Board.
