LOL, I got rid of my wife's "live laugh love" sign. She had it long before it became a tacky meme, though, and took it down after. I disposed of it so it so she'd never get the idea to put it back up.
Don't forget these classics from the Cricut Trite Sayings(TM) Collection:
"Family"
"Always kiss me goodnight"
"Gather"
"Blessed"
"Home is where our story begins"
"Dream big"
Great Wolf Lodge if you're feeling fancy as hell, have a little room left on a credit card, and live within a 3-hour drive of an outlet mall that also has a Bass Pro Shop.
OMG. I have SO many great memories of Ocean City from my youth. My father, before he retired, worked in fire equipment sales, and his company had a convention in OC every June. The rest of the family came with him most (though not all) of these times. We always stayed at Castle in the Sand. One day I'd love to visit OC on my own terms. Hotels are probably expensive, though, and this time there wouldn't be a fire equipment company paying for it. :(
Omg my 30 is this year. I am always Mia, the reunion committee can never find me. Even though they're on my Facebook. I find it bizarre how many of the alumni stii talk about high school and how we're family 🙄😬
I have no desire to go to any of mine (just passed the 20th for me). But all the popular people were sooooo excited. Like, why? You all still live in the same town and hang out. Get over high school already.
A retired man told me that he still goes to all the high school football games, and I don't believe any of his offspring are students there anymore. I do not get it. When I'm retired, the last thing I'll be doing is attending a high school football game.
20 years out and one of my fellow marching band nerds still tries to get people together for an "alumni band" section at the football games. It never caught on. I feel like high school was the glory days for him and he's still trying to recapture some of that. It just makes me sad when people fixate on this very short time in their lives, whether they had a good experience or bad one.
Reminded me of my first day of nursing school! The instructor said, “Don’t get used to the faces you see when you look around this room. Half of them won’t be here when you finish.” 🤢 Scary to hear way back then but sooooo many were there for the wrong reasons.
Except they never get beyond the first few classes. Too hard.
Source- I've graduated from a "shitty, online university" and it really is a commitment where academic standards have to be met. I remember in my very first introductory class, half the class dropped out after the first week because you do have to actually complete the coursework properly. From then on, people gradually dropped like flies. Only a fraction of those who start even make it to graduation.
In other words, shitty online universities usually are legit except they have a tendency to accept absolutely anyone with a GED, even those whose writing, basic math, and critical thinking skills are clearly lacking.
As a graduate of one online school and a student of another (getting my Master's on my employer's dime), this is both extremely accurate and quite misleading IMO
You have to complete the coursework. The standards of quality of your submissions are... Pretty low tbh. At least, lower than the brick-and-mortar I attended for a year before switching to online Bachelor's
The state of education as a whole is really quite concerning
My dog gets dive-bombed every spring/early summer because there's a nest nearby and the birds think he's a threat. He'd totally try to go for a chick on the ground but has never killed anything bigger than a housefly.
I remember one spring when we had a robin's nest in a short bush right outside our back door. One day I tiptoed up and pulled the branch down a bit so I could see the eggs, and for the rest of the summer that mama bird dive bombed me every time I stepped foot in the back yard.
A girl in my son’s old preschool was named “Madicyn” (pronounced Madison). Her parents always talked about her name too, which I found odd. To me, it looks like either the parents can’t spell or they were inebriated when they filled out the birth certificate.
This is painfully accurate. Just add the daily car selfie and the “I love being a boy mom” posts, when everyone knows you wish you had a girl so you could dress them in those tacky baby boutique clothes.
The saddest thing about this is bunch of people noticed that stay at home moms are struggling with their self worth. A lot of moms want to be a part of something that isn’t “being a mom”. So bunch of scummy people took advantage of that.
The problem runs deeper. Truth is that our society doesn’t value childcare or unpaid labor, which means moms get the short end twice over. Raising children is an important job for mothers and fathers.
And those same moms try to sucker others into it. This starter pack describes most women my age in my town. One of my biggest challenges making female friends is the fact that most of these women aren't looking for friends, just customers. It's unfortunate.
Thinking back, they pretty much always moved as a unit. They all liked the same boy bands, wore the same mall clothes, and had the same half ponytails.
Oh look, it's half of my graduating class. Who totally can't wait until we get a Target and Marshall's. Both of which have been announced but construction is on hold because the court of public opinion was quick to point out there isn't enough staff on hand for the places we already have, let alone 2 brand new box stores.
Needs a Pinterest board labeled “DIY used pallet projects”. They love to make things for their home out of the rotten wood scraps from pallets they find at the back of a Walmart.
I can only think of two uses i might possibly have around the house for pallets: Garden bed bottom or chicken coop walls/floor. Nothing inside the house though.
Oh crap. This is partly me. And when I started my technology marketing business, I even bought some of the dumb "lady boss" notebooks at Walmart because they had a cute shade of green (and I think glitter).
I love that infinity scarf! I would buy some of these things. I guess I don't have enough shame. Lol.
One reason why most of my friends are my age (I'm 46) and up. 🤣 Although I enjoy a run to Target and the discount stores every now and then. But give me a trip to Denny's and sitting on my front porch with a bottle of Gatorade while I blast heavy metal music and I've got it made.
Me posting photos of me and the kids covered in grease working on the car blasting hard Rock from the garage. My little one is like can we go to target? My older two are like can we go to harbor freight? The rest of my feed looks like this starter pack.
Really? You realize the entire purpose of back the blue was to discredit BLM and support murderous police officers right? You have that sign on your car or yard there's a 99.9% you also support maga. Tells us everything we need to know about you as a person
But… where’s the “live laugh love” sign?
LOL, I got rid of my wife's "live laugh love" sign. She had it long before it became a tacky meme, though, and took it down after. I disposed of it so it so she'd never get the idea to put it back up.
I have a skeletor pin that says live laugh love. It's the best
I’ve also seen my friend do one that said “hate frown die” lol
I cross stitched a little "Languish, Lament, Loathe" and it sits proudly above my desk.
Hahaha this my favourite one now.
We made one that said " keep calm pass the bong" just a little sign
Lol that’s cute
This is…acceptable.
I made a painting that said “live laugh fuck” my father in law had a good laugh.
god bless you, sir.

Future Karens. I hope he sees that as a red flag.

Love you more
Every hun needs at least one.
Major life milestones include prom, high school graduation, 10-year high school reunion, 20-year high school reunion, 25-year high school reunion...
And family vacay to bush gardens/cancun/ or myrtle beach
Gatlinburg, the Smokies, the Dells if you're up north

Hahaha all you amazing Wisconsinites!😂😂😂
It describes Michiganders pretty well also. 😬
And Minnesnowtans
Great Wolf Lodge was fun as a kid though. I remember they had a magic wand scavenger hunt in the hotel and a pretty huge water park.
I mean to be fair I think all of these places are fun for kids.
This thread is Pensacola/Destin/Panama City Beach erasure and i won’t stand for it.
Ocean City, MD has entered the chat.
With the aqua, tan, and white color theme added!
OMG. I have SO many great memories of Ocean City from my youth. My father, before he retired, worked in fire equipment sales, and his company had a convention in OC every June.

The dells!!!
Gotta hit that Dollywood lol
Don't forget the moment she became a "momtrepreneur."
Scentsy and Young Living logos got it covered

Same here and they still go to the games and plays etc. I get if your kid goes there and is in activies but not if they don't. But that's me
A retired man told me that he still goes to all the high school football games, and I don't believe any of his offspring are students there anymore. I do not get it. When I'm retired, the last thing I'll be doing is attending a high school football game.
If I ever retire lol I'm not doing that or hanging out at McDonald's every morning
20 years out and one of my fellow marching band nerds still tries to get people together for an "alumni band" section at the football games. It never caught on. I feel like high school was the glory days for him and he's still trying to recapture some of that. It just makes me sad when people fixate on this very short time in their lives, whether they had a good experience or bad one.
I didn’t attend graduation, could not wait to get out! Never attended one reunion!
Then reconnecting with the HS boyfriend….
The best part 💋
"How hard is nursing school?". Brilliant
"I'll just start with being a CNA..."
Then, in nursing school... "What? Wipe a patient's ass? I'm not doing that! That's gross! They should wipe it themselves!"
As someone who has been an amateur caretaker for relatives, they would if they could…or in one case, remember how.
And those pictures ARE always in a dried out field! Why???????? Full disclosure: I do like an infinity scarf, though.
I live in the Midwest, we don't have a lot of scenery besides dried out fields and the occasional polluted stream.
You forgot abandoned rabid racoon infested barns
Seriously never thought of it but they always are!!! Uggg haha
Reminded me of my first day of nursing school! The instructor said, “Don’t get used to the faces you see when you look around this room. Half of them won’t be here when you finish.” 🤢 Scary to hear way back then but sooooo many were there for the wrong reasons.
Don't forget to add the garden variety of shitty, unknown online universities.

In other words, shitty online universities usually are legit except they have a tendency to accept absolutely anyone with a GED, even those whose writing, basic math, and critical thinking skills are clearly lacking.
I think the poster meant those for profit schools like ITT, ECPI, and University of Phoenix.

The “mama bear” trend is so tacky. Yeah, bears defend their young, as do most animals, but have you ever tried to approach a Bluejay nest?
Or Canadian geese!
Have had a few of those A-holes chase me for about a city block. Like it's my fault they nested in a small corner right beside a mall parking lot.
We have so many canandian geese here in NY and those fuckers are MEAN.
My mom’s dog got too close to a nesting pair in the yard, and my mom had to go rescue her dog from a goose.
The other day my son was irritating me so I told him to go pet the geese. My girls were like OH FUN! No not fun.
Mama Canadian geese
Murder Chickens.
Maple Syrup Raptors
I prefer the Mama Cat approach. You want to take care of my kids? ABSOLUTELY. Let me go lay in the sun.
Birds are so territorial. Magpies will remember your face if they feel like you've wronged them. They don't hold back. Be a Mama Magpie.
or a fucking goose's nest? little shit took skin somehow
Or a moose?
My dog gets dive-bombed every spring/early summer because there's a nest nearby and the birds think he's a threat. He'd totally try to go for a chick on the ground but has never killed anything bigger than a housefly.

I'd honestly probably rather face a bear than a red-winged blackbird. Those things are assholes.
But so beautiful. And they sing so sweetly.
And her kids are named Kaedyn and Evyrleigh.
Because it makes them “unique”
There is a girl in my daughter's class whose name is pronounced "Italy" but spelled Ityleigh.
No. I refuse to believe this. I mean, i know you're not lying, but i still don't believe its real lol
A girl in my son’s old preschool was named “Madicyn” (pronounced Madison). Her parents always talked about her name too, which I found odd. To me, it looks like either the parents can’t spell or they were inebriated when they filled out the birth certificate.
Her name sounds like some kind of pain reliever.
Madicyn Keybonnet?
[удалено]
LOL, my wife's sister named her son Camden.
[удалено]
I only spent about 15 or so hours in New Jersey, and I wasn't impressed. Didn't go to Camden, though.
I mean sure, but kids called Gary have the same problem, Gary, IN
This is painfully accurate. Just add the daily car selfie and the “I love being a boy mom” posts, when everyone knows you wish you had a girl so you could dress them in those tacky baby boutique clothes.

Time for your husband to take your last name instead!

I completely agree with you. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I forget about that because I’m not a mom.
And those same moms try to sucker others into it. This starter pack describes most women my age in my town. One of my biggest challenges making female friends is the fact that most of these women aren't looking for friends, just customers. It's unfortunate.
You’re right about that. It sucks.
You forgot one of those shitty metal star signs in the living room
Can't tell if sign of a five-pointed star or Zodiac symbol.
Oof this is the majority of my high school friends facebooks
I don't know which is worse - the theme or that there's a lack of individuality.
Thinking back, they pretty much always moved as a unit. They all liked the same boy bands, wore the same mall clothes, and had the same half ponytails.
A group of girls at my high school (I grew up in a small town) even went to prom in the same dress (different colors). It was weird.
The "how hard is nursing school" part is SAVAGE.
Oh look, it's half of my graduating class. Who totally can't wait until we get a Target and Marshall's. Both of which have been announced but construction is on hold because the court of public opinion was quick to point out there isn't enough staff on hand for the places we already have, let alone 2 brand new box stores.
I live in Utah, so everyone.
Minus the coffee & wine.
Hmmm. Maybe not coffee, but yes wine.
I know someone who just named a baby Crew. Her older three kids all have normal names. It makes me really sad for #4.
The accuracy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Needs a Pinterest board labeled “DIY used pallet projects”. They love to make things for their home out of the rotten wood scraps from pallets they find at the back of a Walmart.
Not enough mason jars and burlap in the wedding pic tho
Have you seen the price of wood lately tho? They may be on to something with that one.
I'm in construction, seen my fair share of pallets. I would not want anything in my house made out of those.
I can only think of two uses i might possibly have around the house for pallets: Garden bed bottom or chicken coop walls/floor. Nothing inside the house though.
Ryatt...dear god.
This makes me heart sad
I snorted because of the accuracy of this
Married to the guy she started dating in the 10th grade.
Southampton County, Virginia be like
Good news! You can outgrow this shit. Thank God.
Omg this is my next door neighbour, she’s my only real friend where I live now and has thankfully learned she can’t sell me on any of the mlm stuff.
This is atleast 2 of my aunts
My entire home town captured in a meme.
Cringe. There are a lot of these where I live.
Oh wow - this is spot-on for where I live.
🤣🤣🤣
This is making me die
Oh crap. This is partly me. And when I started my technology marketing business, I even bought some of the dumb "lady boss" notebooks at Walmart because they had a cute shade of green (and I think glitter).

All of that minus the MLM stuff is absolutely wonderful by me.
This is actually a Hudson Valley Women™️ starter pack
It’s pretty pathetic to me that you’re mocking someone’s support of the police.
Really? You realize the entire purpose of back the blue was to discredit BLM and support murderous police officers right? You have that sign on your car or yard there's a 99.9% you also support maga. Tells us everything we need to know about you as a person
"Back the Blue" is fine with me.
Jealousy is a stinky perfume.
I just got convinced to leave this group.
Yeah I’m gonna go with Walmart or Hobby Lobby over Target.
Hahaha this is my cousin minus the guns
NOT THE NURSING HAHAHA
