There are some real entertaining moments. So many of these people just bring it on themselves. What is really surprising is the number of people that see an accident and just drive on past. It's also funny when I recognize the road.

Agree on the solo traveler stigma thingie. It's kind of a detriment to my travel. Single women of any age can travel with their girlfriends and do ALL of the time. Gay guys (attached and unattached) always seem to have a group they can travel with. Straight over 60 males, not so much. Last year in Mexico and I'll bet I was the only person in the entire resort that rented a single room for one. Travel alone and you are viewed as odd. JFC, I got questioned with suspicion a couple of years ago at US customs because "traveling alone."
PS: Gal my age, not dragging some gal around that I have to tell people is my "niece" or something.
Yea when I was leaving France they were questioning why I was alone. Asked me a bunch of different things, trying to make me slip up I think.
I'll agree with this. Solo travel I set my own schedule and I don't need to compromise at all. I want to visit this thing today or whatever. Or like my one friend loves Art museums but I despise most of them. Solo you do whatever you want. The second part has gotten way easier with Tinder and other apps and if you're looking for it, it's not hard
We got asked a bunch of questions leaving France last year too. Might have just been increased security due to their recent issues.
Been through there, last February, but it was just a drive thru on our way back from Tennessee. Oshkosh is going to take us off the beaten path for quite a ways, but oh well...
If any of you all ever need a travel companion to not be scrutinized at an airport, I can be your fake boyfriend, brother, gay lover...whatever you need if youre taking me overseas.

With her post in the breastfeeding Cave thread, I'd like to welcome @cowgirl836 to the world of the mommy wars.

I don't want to "like" this, I don't want to "agree" with it...but it certainly is an accurate representation.

Getting that sort of reaction is the mark of a good historian and observer.
Mommy wars are nothing. It’s the narcissistic dooshers who say they don’t like kids, and don’t want kids, and don’t want to hear anything about kids, yet still want to impart their wisdom about how you should raise your kids who should just GTFO and go straight to ******* hell.
Ha, no baby even here yet and I've gotten enough "do this or don't do that" on things that are not other peoples' business (like what I do or don't do about pain meds in labor) that I've decided my best response is "mmmm good to know".
we found Carver's hot button! I've got one of these at work. Asked me straight out if this baby was planned (seriously WTF) and then came to work baby shower and was like "so glad you all are having babies and going through these awful things, I would never want to have a child, etc., etc."
Like, cool for you. No one should have kids if they don't want to. Totally cool. However, going on about how terrible kids are and how you think people are crazy for having kids..........at a baby shower is probably several steps too far into the "look at me and my superior life choices" realm.
My doosh BIL who is currently running 452 miles and will soon be putting his map my run on every social media form known to humanity doesn’t want kids yet always wants to borrow mine to play video games and hang. I wouldn’t trust him with my dog’s poop let alone my kids.
He told my then seven year old a story about drugs, oral sex, and the emergency room once, I don’t leave my kids alone with him for even a second now.
Once when he was with the wife he dumped for gaining ten pounds in ten years and ruining his life by no longer being trophy wife, they kept pestering to have the oldest two go stay a weekend. Second oldest said don’t worry Mom, if we ever have to stay with Uncle Doosh, his big brother, who was 14 at the time could be the adult. Even an 11 year old can recognize a know it all egomaniac with Peter Pan syndrome.
It's always good for the rest of us when you bring up the douche BIL, they are good stories, and it's probably good for you to vent.
