Hi, I am a mom and a BA student at the
University of Amsterdam doing an anonymous, non-commercial linguistic study on
maternal language. May I share my academic link with your community? The guidelines
say no surveys with monetary gain but this is purely academic research questionnaire
with no monetary gain is that ok? Thanks 😊

LOVE the meme!
I know there are a lot of STMs here so I was wondering if any of you have made your own formula?
If you did I'd love the recipe!
Going back to the Hobby Lobby thread, it's always fascinating to me when a person takes one Scripture to backup their entire viewpoint of Christianity & take it nearly or completely out of context.
IE: A poster said this -
I was raised deep southern evangelical and let me tell you there is no other group in this country that is more powerful or that has a bigger victim complex. It's part of the religion itself. If you don't feel shit on, you aren't doing it right. The world HAS to be against you or you are not Christian enough.
@msuducks Awwww
Thanks for that. I get miffed when people randomly Google a Scripture to back up their viewpoint...whatever that might be. And to other people who don't know the Bible, it really looks like that person is making a huge knowledgeable point about the Bible/Christianity/etc. In reality, the Scripture has nothing to do with what context the poster was saying.
Ever hear that famous Christian saying "The Lord won't put more on you than you can bear?" People say it supposedly to make others feel better when they are going through a horrible time & it's not even in the Bible. Nope. Nowhere. People need to read & comprehend the context or just shut up. Lol. I'm sure every other religion wishes some of their folks would do the same thing.
ETA: I just realized the poster put Matthew 5:12 in there also. Which is basically Jesus saying, "You know what? When people are jerks don't worry about it. Your focus is Heaven anyway. So chin up." <--- Skeemer Version of the Bible

ROTFL! I've never heard "Script-dipping" but I love it! OMG, I nearly fell over laughing.
I loved the hobby lobby thread!!! Good find!
Poor OP. She was just happy about her picture frame. Then this happened -
This seems apropos, and like something a lot of those people would support. (Sorry for mobile link cluster)
I thought we were pretty nice here on N14, but O14 might really be shitting some unicorn glitter. I cannot believe this chick did not get flamed.
It's super long, but the TLDR version: OP basically plans her own baby shower (since the day of her BFP guise!) and then complains about everyone (she's micromanaging) who helps out -- especially her mother (who is supposed to be throwing the party?) because what she did wasn't good enough or what OP wanted. Culminates in the end with tears when opening her mom's present (after the shower since they apparently didn't have the venue long enough -- 6 hours -- for her to open her presents) because her mom bought her stuff. All she wanted was love, yo! (And a perfect catered garden tea party with pink accents!)
This one is very yelly about BF vs FF and some troll getting banned for coming to the BF board to stir up shit.
