I don’t think I’ve ever had dunkin. But I get it confused with Krispy. I think that’s the one we have. You never went to Krispy Kreme in the middle of the night to watch the fresh donuts being glazed on the assembly line? We definitely did this a few times in college, the one in Van Nuys started production at midnight or something. Krispy Kreme was relatively new in our area in college and there was one off the freeway on the drive back to school from weekend trips. We would stop and my friend would get two dozen, one to eat on the drive back and one to eat over the next couple of days 😳

I should save this for next Thursday but it will be gone from my memory forever by then. I LOVE KK donuts, they're my favorite "chain" donut, but I do not like them hot. They're just too....oily/sweet/something when they're hot. Makes me sick to my stomach. I feel this way about cookies. Hot out of the oven? Please no. Cooled to room temp? Yes. I put chocolate chip cookies in the fridge. I love crunchy cookies. The wrongness of this is destroying me.

If you spray pepper spray away from you, even with no wind, it will be in the air and affect you. It won’t blind you, but you breath that shit and it’s not pleasant. Ask me how I know. this has not been my experience I have sprayed and been sprayed. I have been peppered sprayed and maced.

I have more anxiety about a break in than neighbors with guns. Both are probably not a likely fear to come true lol But I also have door and window alarms and dead bolt even on my basement door (which is also for child safety) As do I, but I believe the alarm system, locks, and large/loud dog are better safety measures. I am not going to shoot an intruder. What if it was one of my kids? It's not an option that it comes out at night when I hear a peep. For me, the gun itself in your hands can be a deterrent to an intruder. I also would not run down the hallway firing blindly if I heard something knock over. That's an irresponsible gun owner. TETO in this case. Whatever works for your family is best.

I am not going to shoot an intruder. What if it was one of my kids? It's not an option that it comes out at night when I hear a peep. The way our house is set up, I walk past my kids' rooms to get out into the main part of the house. In the past when I have hear noises (granted my kids were still in cribs at the time), I peeked in on them in their rooms and closed their doors on my way out. We have since told them if they wake up and their door is closed to stay put, but knowing who is where is vital if you are going to use one to protect your home. Likewise, if H or I grab the gun to go check something out, the other stays put. No wondering around to see what's going on. When the kids shared a room, I went and sat in there a few times just in case one of them woke up.

I don't run outside much anymore, but after all the attacks on runners, I thought long and hard about self-protection during runs.

I confessed before that i (& the kids but for now, I) inherited several guns when my dad died. I don't gun, I mean TETO but they just make me nervous so I don't. I do have bullets for the one small handgun, but I would 100% use my bat on an intruder as my go-to saving device. Once I got him/her down with that I may remember theres a gun in the safe lol When my grandpa was sick (alzhiemers) I remember asking my grandma if I could borrow his shot gun to go hunting with H (I didn't have one at the time because my parents never taught me shit about shooting a gun, that was all H) and when she got the safe opened up he had something like 16 guns in there in total. As all the kids (my mom and her siblings and all the spouses) got talking, each one knew about 1 or 2 guns and nobody knew about the same 2 guns. It was half comical and half scary. But he used to do a lot of work for people around town and sometimes they would pay him with a shotgun or whatever. Eventually my grandma numbered each of the guns and had each kid draw numbers until they were split between them all. I'm still bitter that my cousin had borrowed one of the guns (the one I had borrowed before and loved) and just never returned it so my grandma said he could just have it. It's been like 7 or 8 years now. But I'm still bitter. As the oldest child/grandchild my dad left my sister the handmade gun my grandfather built back in his war days & I was like damn. That's probably the only gun I would have cared about having lol

The only reason I can’t do mom groups for too long is because I get really bored talking about kid stuff. I know some people need the groups and thrive in that but I’m the worst for that type of environment. I’m in a twin mom group and I’m already like aight imma head out soon.

the thought of having a gun in the house makes me incredibly anxious, even more than thinking about someone breaking in with one. I'm the socialist liberal all the NRA people are yelling about, yes sir i do want to take your guns, everything except the simple hunting rifle that you took a licensed safety course for.

We just watched Hamilton for the first time last night, and I liked it but definitely am not in the "OMG this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen" fan club. Plus it ended on a sour note for me with Eliza's brief little epilogue about all the amazing things she did after Alexander's death. I felt cheated and annoyed that there wasn't more about her. Hamilton is amazing, and I listen to the soundtrack regularly. But I do wish Lin would make a musical about Eliza. The story seemed unfinished. Yes, this exactly. Like I want a whole musical just about her!!

Now to make sure I get it instead of my brother.... lol

I made my kid cry this one time because she wanted the last chocolate doughnut and I refused to give it to her because that bitch was mine. There were like 7 other ones in the box too. Her favorite is the glazed one. So she was just being irrational. She said I was the worst. I am kid. I am. I don’t know. If I were your kid I’d have yelled “but they all taste the same to you!!!”

Have you listened to the soundtrack previously? I had heard the "You'll be back" one, but that's really the only one that stood out to me. I have a history degree (not this era of American history, but all history is cool!) so I do think if I listen to the soundtrack a few times I might enjoy it more, because there seems to be A LOT there.

Specifically, she said breaking down. So I assume there were already broken parts, but they didn’t affect the functionality. Then it should have been easy to say we are buying a new one

When Katie Hill was running for her district they asked her about guns at one of her primary debates. She’s a democrat who grew up with guns. I really liked her response. It came out in that Vice documentary about her campaign against Knight. I’m bummed out she had to step down. .

I know people here hate statistics but i find them soothing so here it is anyway you are more likely to be a victim of gun crime if you have one in the house because it only escalates the situation

You are preaching to someone who has memorized the same hymn book. And has already gone through this mental exercise with herself.
