Lets hear it for moms and good sons. That's a spry 76 year old btw, holy hell.

Nigga, if my boss told me I can't go to my brothers wedding I'd bitchslap the fuck and shit on his desk

That's the most Sian-Pierre-lookingy person I have ever seen.
YpoCohlo
Is that Jean-Pierre with some sort of typo ?
doesntmatter
It said Sian-Pierre in the video I thought? I figured it could be because the mother was Irish or something. Sian is Jean like Sean is Shawn

I lost my mum yesterday. This breaks my heart. Call your mum and tell her you love her.

Would rather not, thanks.

Sorry :(...

I love it! Americans (especially white ppl) dispose of their older people.

She said she didn't have a reason to live, and now she's doing a bucket list. Is anyone else concerned with how this might end?
Cheomesh
Damn 55 years in the same job.

This man has a spot in heaven just waiting for him .

That's cool Wish I had money.

Goddamnit I miss my mom..
Sumstufffofun
I'd watch it. Also, she looked really old when he was a kid, like same now
deeno007
some people have kids when they are older, my dad had me when he was in his late sixties.

Once everything on her bucket list is done, she won't have anything left to live for - just an empty bucket waiting to be kicked.
abcEasyAs123
Oh shit is that where bucket list comes from
ydwyrd
It's from a movie but yeah, it's "List of things do to before I kick the bucket."
Dipityseren
When you're depressed part of the despair is wanting nothing. Drawing her out of her dark place, helps her find the spark to want life.
stumblinforward
God i miss my Mom....

I miss your mom too. I'd give you mine, but she is ruination on wheels. At least your mom loved you. ♥♥♥

This downvote is solely for that one tag. You know which one.

The other folks jumping on may be trying to drive it off a cliff. You're welcome aboard, but be prepared to jump old-school western style.

I hope someone else posts it though so I can upvote that one, it'd be nice if this guy makes some money on that documentary.

Second that. She also thinks she's to good for Spotify - go eat shit.
HeyOP
I think you might have taken more from my comment than I intended.
papito12332
She actually put her music back on Spotify just throwing that at there you do what you want with that information.... dance party
n8wishim
I don't care if her music is back on spotify - the arrogant gesture of taking it down is what matters to me. Thats "to big to fail" attitude
HeyOP
lifeisirrelevant
Look what (s)he made you do.
HeyOP
1) Should I admit that I get that reference? I don't have any hate for her, really, but there's been a weird attempt to sneak her
SerialChillinSpree
Hate. I know that is a strong word but you should have some type of spite. For this woman bringing low grade, formulaic, lazy lyrics..
SerialChillinSpree
into your life and listening to her whine, basically, about her 'boyfriends'.
HeyOP
Meh. Her music's contribution to my life, positive or negative, is virtually nil.
HeyOP
2) and whatever drama is currently surrounding her into posts here.
orangecicle
Her entire existence in the spotlight is her taking bs she started anyway and singing about it. Fans are just emulating her!
SerialChillinSpree
She's almost 30, right? The way she sings about 'boys' and her engagements or relationships is like some 22yr old talking about high school.
HeyOP
Maybe, but most of what I've seen about it has been negative rather than positive.
Isuckatusernames2
I have one thing on my bucket list. Avoid people. Somehow even in death I don't think I'll succeed.

My fathers health declined rapidly after his job of 20 years fired him for being old. I wish i could of done this. Rip Dad love you

It's my mom's 64th birthday today and I can't wait to see her! <3
DubhIainn
I'm going to drive home later this week and ask my mother what she wants to do. My father too... although he will take some convincing
IndecisiveSlacker
Why isn't she retired at that age? Seniors should just be relaxing or do a different job. Is this a USA thing?
Pirate44
most people have to keep working,because social security check not enough to decently live
BreadyStinellis
She might not want to. She said her job gave her purpose. My grandma didnt officially retire until 80. She liked working.
Mendeleyev1
Yes. People don't stop working because we are taught that only working matters. Its very sad here.

Dunno about America but people retire around 60/70 in Europe if I'm not mistaken.
HiimMars
But she got fired, it wasn't a retirement so there's no pension for her which really sucks
honkahonka82
That's the worst employer I've ever heard of. Devote your life- take away pension because they get fired. I'm not sure about that.
honkahonka82
Especially with that many years of service. Maybe a newbie who's not vested? in the US she would definitely qualify for social security.
BreadyStinellis
What? She gets social security either way.
Caabale
What ? In Europe, it doesn't matter how the work contract is ended : if you meet the conditions for retirement, you're getting it...
Caabale
And 55 years of work plus age 75 is far above the requirements, at least in France.
therealVexed
maybe she just didn't want to retire and having the job drove her.
BreadyStinellis
It is here too. You get full social security at 65. Don't know what this guy is talking about.
BreadyStinellis
US too, but some people keep a part time job to get them out of the house and socialise.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
Bucket lists are all good and well if you have money..
tornbetweenscyllaandcovfefe
Well and good
bigdukesix
It depends on the price of the buckets
torradarpedo
She loses job. Then she has great that she wanted. Hmmm...

They raised money
morphis
to pay a camera man to go with them
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
Thanks, I was wondering how they did it (I was assuming the guy had a good job or something)
dasklaus
Most of mine resolved around sex in one way or the other. Checked most of them for no price at all.
DOWNVOTEALLEMOJIS
You must be so fulfilled
dasklaus
Still missing the Phd and the million and the heroin, but generally - yeah. (I'll worry about the first two when I'm 50 and the last at 80).
complainsabouteverythingpmuch
Getting people into a threesome where I live is like impossible, because everyone seems self-conscious or just not into sharing.
dasklaus
Well, you need to get to know the right kind of people. Look into the poly crowd and BDSM people. Works best if you're not just into the 1/
dasklaus
fantasy but generally openminded, adventurous and respectful. Be willing and prepared to not have sex soon - stranger threesomes are rare.
dasklaus
Really important: don't be homophobic, don't be jealous. Virtually nobody who'd be game for a threesome will be tolerant of those.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
Great job. My bucket list involves building a house on a property with enough space for a large tree or two..
SerialChillinSpree
Awww, look honey, a dreamer.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
Yeah. Although my dreams are getting crushed more and more every day.
SerialChillinSpree
I kid, naww, stay fuckin with it, truly. Our minds possess great power - if we think, plan, and progress towards something w/everyt move

My mom just retired (and my dad, who has been on retirement for a while already is getting slower)... wonder if I should do this with them.
DOWNVOTEALLEMOJIS
You should. Plan it, then make it happen.
CirB
Already showed this post to them. I'll talk to them about their bucket lists when I next meet them :)
DOWNVOTEALLEMOJIS
Excellent. This makes me happy.
