Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 18hTeen-parent arguing all night about an extracurricular. Dad finally cut it off- couple minutes ago and said we are ending the discussion for tonight. He shuts her bedroom door and I hear her snap “okay, Benjamin Netanyahu!” 040
Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I am still connected on Facebook to folks I only know because we have children who started school together. I am deeply concerned that the folks getting OHP and SNAP would burn it all down because they saw a photo where gas is a dollar cheaper in Alabama, while not knowing anything about Alabama. 🤷♀️ 010

Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 18/09/2026A couple weeks ago, I totaled my beloved equinox (it had been my company car before it was my own, so I knew it was impeccably maintained). I’m on the hunt for something cheap and fuel efficient to replace it. If you know someone hanging on to a well maintained but older car, lmk. 200

Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 06/09/2026There’s a trend that encourages you to “finish the lyric” and your answer reveals what generation you fall into. The lyric was “blame it on the________” and it’s like- yikes, no, apparently my weirdness transcends eras 220
Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Dumb question but: how does honey keep when frozen? A pediatrician visit went sideways- the resulting decision is that it is packed lunch time; one option that doesn’t require consistent cold temp is a pb & honey sandwich. But can I make those ahead of time (weekly) and freeze, or will 🍯 go weird? 100

Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 02/08/2026BlueSky is my smallest hive 🐝 but most folks are soccer-affiliated. As long as she could, my kid played soccer & is a big fan still. Autism is weird, & she has the lack of fine motor skill. She wants to be on HS squad- but there’s no way. She’d honestly fail a field sobriety test. Idk what to do 😞 120

Woke to the news that she’s leaving…going to work for state😳 This is bad 010
Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Erin is rallying. After faucet crying, she’s now headed to the Ferris wheel. “Why does everyone reject me?” She asks. Kiddo, this will not be the first teenage girl who chooses a boy over you and it probably won’t be the last. This is just a shitty season. It’ll get better. 530

Jo @thecemeterygates.bsky.social · 14/07/2026This kid defied every roadblock from literally the moment he was born, graduated and now he gets to play soccer in southern Oregon.
