Do the same with googly eyes, you'll be finding them for ages!

All I can say is that maybe you need to start writing it.

A peacock's tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.

A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.

I don't really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.

Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn't actually known and my interpretation isn't even in the running, but I'm saving this anyway because it's amusing.

'More like DEI Panther, amirite?' (/s)

I honestly don't see why that's better than some other Marvel properties, but I don't mind it's inclusion in the list. Maybe that it touches on actual world problems instead of just fake ones made up for the movie. And yeah, I'm American but a dissenting one.

I didn't even get good grades!!

My mom didn't relax until she saw the actual diploma.

9 looks like you could slap a G'oauld symbol on that forehead easily.

Older guy here, no kids, rarely dated at all but married now.

Always be up front about your kid. Not first thing, but I'd say during the first date or two.

A twelve year old is a bit easier for most men to accept, I think, as there's less years of raising them and more of a developed person to get to know.

Any man you're in a committed relationship with should be willing to help you out - that's what committed means. So one that refuses is probably not the guy for you.

Lastly, you may not meet the one for a while, but letting them in to see how well they mesh with your son might help you figure that out.

Its not too much to ask for at all. It'll be a balancing act, redefining your life (and to a large extent, your son's) and letting someone in again.

I'm confident that you'll find someone, and I hope you aren't hurt in the process of finding him.

It's most definitely not too late.

I was in a similar state about fifteen years ago, and older than you at the time.

The thing is that by not tackling the anxiety earlier, you've been learning how to live while anxious.

I have IBS and had a hernia that was making things far worse. I had no idea that's what was going on with me. I lived that way for years.

Once it was fixed I needed to learn how to unlearn the anxiety. I'd wake up each day worrying whether it'd be a good day or a terrible ond. I'd stress about using the toilet.

Now I'm married and have a good life.

You've gotta start tackling that anxiety. Medication, therapy, self work.

I used to think I was depressed, now I realize I was depressed about what my anxiety kept me from doing.

Once you start to unravel the way you are, you'll start remaking yourself into a more conscious person. It's extremely worthwhile.

They don't learn. They'll just blame Democrats yet again.

'Fin' on the bowl. What a great touch.

I'll have to give that a watch. Dinklage is always a joy to watch.

I remember being trapped at a party (because I didn't have my own ride and was hours from home) where I knew nobody, watching True Romance and seething at how stupid the whole thing was.

And yeah, it truly is, but it's deliberately stupid and also awesome. Gary Oldman was (as always) fully committed and amazing, stealing every scene he's in.

But also I was seething at a party because I didn't like a movie, instead of finding something else to do and like.

 

I was honestly curious if there was a link between the two terms, not a scientific one.

That said the number of participants in the study makes it a little questionable.

 

I'm a 50 year old dude, never cared about sports. But my wife got into PWHL last year and I started watching with her.

It doesn't have the toxicity that I've seen in so many male dominated sports. We're Minnesotans, so of course we support Frost.

Late last season we were watching a game and while the game was tied, our (Minnesota, not yet called Frost) team wasn't making as many shots on goals as they usually did, and I said that.

"What's going on? Why is Minnesota lagging in shots on goal... WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, I'M MAKING OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SPORTS STATISTICS!!"

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

 

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

 

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
