This is a good point - it really is about where his kids want to go. I’m going to guess cape cod this time of year.

I don’t like muscles from the Puget Sound because they taste like it smells and I cannot get past that.

I am a parent of 2 autistic kiddos. I. Get a lot of “your the parent, just make them do ___”. It isn’t always that simple - particularly around food.

1992 - and it has all of the luxuries that 1992 had to offer in a house (oak everything! almost no right corners! shiny brass fixtures!)

Trickle down economics.

You can make the purchase contingent on junk removal.

Agree to disagree.

I think Marky Mark demonstrated in the 90s it is the boxer brief.

Near me - lots of homes have junk in the front yard. No idea why. Those homes also appear to be more likely to burn their garbage in the yard. 🤷

I’ve been lucky not to work with any outright misogynists. Bit there’s a lot of subtle stuff that men aren’t even aware they are doing (interrupting women in meetings, dismissing ideas when first presented by a woman, etc.).

Put your shoes in your tent at night so slugs don’t crawl in them. Camping in a national Forest is often free. Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.

But will they have the pizza buffet?!?

Haha! I need a vacation…

I would be shocked if my friend surprised me with a dick pic, especially if she didn’t realize it was on her phone. Sometimes I laugh when I’m shocked (it is a terrible reaction). And it would have nothing to do with what the pic looked like or who it was and everything to do with my friend being kind of a dumb ass. So, I hope it can take the some of edge off of this situation knowing their reaction was probably more towards your girlfriend and less about you.

Escalate to who?!?

I have a crazy theory that requests like these will actually push people to care more about and take action on global warming.

Dumb question: why can a person be trained to have new skills?

This is such a an interesting, and completely different, problem. Sometimes it’s lack of funding, sometimes it’s poor management, sometimes it’s something else all together. 🤷
