More delays at LGA, shorter runway so they have to slow things down when it is low clouds. But if you leave JFK at the same time as a lot of international flights then the wait to takeoff can be long (but that may be factored into flying time) [ Reply | More

We did a family mothers day together with dd (picnic) and it was so fun and he was so nice and everyone was so happy I found myself desperately missing him and I told him so at the end of day and felt this strong desire to be close to him. He got really mad at me and won't talk to me now.

There's some of this in our social circle -- not outright malice, but a lot of the childfree organize events and trips assuming that people with kids can't or won't get a sitter, so they don't invite people with kids. We're always glad to get a sitter for an evening or drop DD at her aunt and uncle's for a weekend. I see why they don't broach the subject in general, because that's a good way to get some clueless parent to assume her 5-year-old is invited to an event that is supposed to be adults only (I saw it happen once, and then the parents wanted everyone to be quiet after bedtime and not say "fuck" all weekend). But it makes me a bit sad too sometimes. [ Reply | More

I don't know if confrontation, however subtle, works in this case. I agree that in general, to stop a bully, you have to call them on it. But the power dynamic is different at work from, say, the schoolyard. [ Reply | More

[ - ] A friend from college moved within a few blocks of me. I randomly saw her on the street and it was all blah, blah let's go for drinks. I messaged her and got the "let's go for drinks next week, text me." Okay, I text her even though I knew this was a BS invite and I got a "making dinner, I will text you right after" and nada. Bitch. 12 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I did see it coming but I figured I am not going to be the fake one, I am going to put forth the effort. Oh, I forgot the best part she didn't even have my number saved even though she gave me her number and I texted her right then and there "this is Lauren" and when I texted her for plans she was like sorry, new phone! who is this? Right, phone books transfer of the cloud you dumb bitch. [ Reply | More

I have acquaintances like this. Don't think any more about it. If you run into her again, you can decide if you want to play the little game of "Let's get together!" and then if she reaches out to you, decide if you want to go. Otherwise, it's just a pleasantry when people obligated to be more interested in each other's lives than a hi/bye. [ Reply | More

[ - ] DH continued to eat a bag of chips when I told him my grandmother died. I tell him my grandmother died, and he shoved his hand back into the bag of chips. I never said anything to him but it still bothers me 2yrs later and on days like the one I am having today when he is not thinking about what I need, I think about him eating fucking chips when I just told him my grandmother died. 28 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

That's why I asked below what type of person is he? If he just has a hard time with his feelings, I don't get why you are hung up on this? You made him sound like a jerk. If he does care, you talk to him & work with him on this. That's marriage. [ Reply | More

What's going on today? Honestly, men are not fantastic caretakers. They just aren't. There is a fantastic recent reddit thread which asked men what they want women to know about men that they don't know ... the overall conclusion after reading thousands of comments is that men themselves admit they are super simple creatures of habit, comfort and avoidance of drama. They don't do "my grandma just died HOLD ME" unless you literally tell them that's what you want. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Do liberals understand that there aren't enough white people to go around anymore, in order to carry out their social plans and programs? "School desegregation," residential integration, etc. - all of these programs and initiatives of theirs are based on the idea of a large white majority and a much smaller handful of minorities who can be shuffled around in order to be surrounded by whites. Since white people are magical agents in liberal "theology," this will supposedly solve all of the problems suffered by minority groups. But the white population in many areas is already in the minority. There simply aren't enough white people to go around. Liberals seem to be working from a template published in the 1950's or something. 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I'm saying all the current liberal "initiatives" are reliant upon surrounding minorities with white people in order to improve minority performance/outcomes. Look at Julian Castro at the Housing department. His entire strategy is to increase section 8 vouchers and push sec. 8 holders into white areas. But as I noted, there aren't enough whites to go around anymore, and we're going to see some interesting clashes between different nonwhite groups over this stuff. [ Reply | More

that's not exactly true. there are some desegration programs for housing, like inclusionary zoning and section 8, but that reality is that is a minority of programs. most affordable housing is still concentrated in low income, mostly minority areas in nyc. same with schools. there are still lots of programs to build more housing and improve schools in predominantly minority areas. It's important to have a mix of both types of programs. [ Reply | More
