My parents are very religious and not open to the idea of my non-Jewish girlfriend nor my atheism...
Someone at work had brought their 5 year old daughter with them to the office today. During lunch...
I'm a 43 year-old man with crippling arthritis. As I was walking towards the grocery store, slowly and with the aid of two canes, a little old lady came riding out on the electric cart. She said, "There's only one of these left, and I wanted you to get it." She looked back at a 450-pound woman and her five kids, giving us the skunk eye from the doorway. "You really need it," she said, "and she's just a fat b*tch." IMMD
Six years ago, I got kicked out of my parents house for not having enough faith. I had no contact to my family since. Today I received a letter from a lawyer tasked with the last will of my grandfather. Apparently I'm the only member of the family who was not fighting over the inheritance while he was still in chemotherapy. He left me enough money to travel around the world for 2 years and donated the rest to charity.IMMD and the next 2 years!
My boss has been taking advantage of my flexible schedule. She changes my schedule with sometimes as little as 12 hours notice, and has been scheduling me for twice as many hours as I said I could handle (I'm in school). I put in my two weeks notice two weeks ago, and even though today was supposed to be my last day, she put me on the schedule for all of next week. I finally was able to stand up to her and say that I wouldn't do it, and IMMD!
I had a woman pick me up with the line "I've got bacon back at my place."
My mom has always thought I was worthless, even though from a young age, I was the one cooking dinner and cleaning the house. She always tears me down. But today, when she was telling me that she wishes she could go back in time and raise me again, to change who I am, I looked at her and said in a calm voice, "maybe you should go farther back and change yourself first, mom". Then I walked away. The fact that I stood up to her for the first time in 18 years MM life.
My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia 3 years ago, right around the time his daughter was born. His ex took the baby and disappeared. A year ago I found out that the little girl was being abused by her mother and step-father and was in foster care. I immediately applied for custody. She's been living with me for 4 months, but she is very distant and not affectionate because of how she was treated. Last night when I tucked her in bed, she hugged me for the first time. IMM Life.
