How many times has a stranger photographed any of our kids and sold the photo for countless people to have? (And it includes names)

They were following them home not just taking photos...oh and endangering everyone with reckless driving

Many (hugs) I hope you can find a way to spend less, way less, maybe zero, time with her. Can your dh come up with some son and dad ideas for himself and his dad and then they "just happen" to swing by the house and fil stays for dinner or whatever? That way fil isn't losing out?

Harry has always been and always will be a celebrity. How could he possibly stop being Princess Di's son? There are always stories and photos about people who used to be in the public eye and quit. I'm not sure someone can stop being famous. I'm sure if H and M could somehow stop being famous and therefore have safety for their kids they would. It's literally not possible to declare oneself no longer famous. I hate that they can't just live their lives.

My dear bil died of a genetic heart thing. As explained to us this was not a "normal" heart attack. Whatever this particular genetic thing is the only "fix" is a pacemaker before it ever happens. They said he couldn't have survived. It did make my sister a widow. I'm guessing the op is talking about something else because no one in bil's family survived having one. Those who are left had the surgery.

Did you see the video of the white woman trying to steal a rental bike from black teenage(?) boys? She started falsely calling for help which imo is attempted murder. She knew what she was doing and it was definitely a threat. With the recent death of the accuser/murderer of Emmett Till it's hard not to see the similarities

It is all so very gross and disturbing. I realized that I no longer have the thought of "unbelievable". Would these have been the people who pulled a switchblade on people back in the day? Have we always had people with no regard for life or decency but now they brandish weapons that were designed and have the purpose of not being survivable?

I'd be uncomfortable and just wouldn't do sleepovers anymore.

I think Eurovision Song Contest has a YouTube channel

We had several countries that we expected to rank higher

Our household didn't love the winning song (Sweden). It was predicted Sweden would win and the jury vote for Sweden was huge! Listening to the Eurovision playlist I've come to like the winning song more. I'll be obsessed with the playlist for awhile!

@wintermom We watched on Peacock which is part of our cable system. But I think it's also a separate streaming service too

I really liked how the intros to each performance showed a place in Ukraine, a similar place in UK and then the performer in a similar spot in their home country. One of my favorite parts was the intro to the final

Update: Blood and Glitter (Germany) is currently stuck in my head!

And so begins our favorite gameshow: guess which Eurovision song is stuck in my head! Like last year (first year watching) I woke up with a song stuck already! (Though now give that wolf a banana kicked it out!)

Finally found an easy way to watch last last year. It is so much fun! Cha Cha Cha!!

Another vote for Plackers Grind No More! These are the only guards I've ever been able to use and we've tried them all

You get to choose who you spend time with even if you think you must it really is a choice. You could consider discussing your own treatment by B with B but I think it wouldn't be helpful to go to B about what you observe regarding others. (I'm assuming none of this is criminal or involving a child or other vulnerable person)

Our church loves cheese to an amusing degree. I buy the sliced variety pack from Costco or Trader Joe's. I pair it with gluten free crackers because it's needed.

WCW is so well known he's in an episode of Arthur! PS do we need a spinoff to "argue" about WCW? 🤪

Sounds awful! I don't think leadership and manipulative are the same. I often see manipulative recommendations here for dealing with xyz so maybe the book sounds legit to people?

Here's an article about the changes that did happen: https://www.itv.com/news/2023-05-06/how-the-kings-coronation-oath-changed-in-historic-break-with-tradition

...and the view from his flying saucer was glorious.
