Play to Play

theKid had a tournament/game/meet of sorts … did pretty well, first in some, second in others, medals/trophies/awards all around. Half tends to focus on the win, whereas (non-competitive) other half is like, Isn’t playing the point? But suppose that is why Half has more success, and other half is just riding those coattails. Begs the …

Baby Burst

Apparently (heh, didjacatchthat?no?nevermind) the Rethuglicans are seriously worried re the lack of babies being born (among the horsewomen,a’cours). In the land of Dobbs, the SAVE Act, dismantling the Dept of Education (‘cept for collecting on default student loan debt), and efforts to end no-fault divorce … Don’t ever wonder. Here’s a suggestion … try universal …

True Blessing

Celebrated the arrival of theKid earlier this month … asked for a zombie VR experience (yehinorite) accompanied by a few friends.  Cake, pizza, festivities and frivolities enjoyed by all. theKid gave a thumbs-up to the experience so feeling pretty validated.  Breeding has its perks.

Wat.  This is a six-figure household, waddaya mean “declined”? And to think this time …

Saw a reaction video of his (thanks, Tubes of You) whereby he felt outraged and righteous indignation at a subreddit “r/regretfulparents.”  MattyDub basically concluded that the forum should not exist, that people choose to be happy or unhappy, and that …

Tailspin

Have a Dear One working in the US public school system, and DO noted that plandemic babies are entirely, unequivocally screwed. That two+ years at home, no socialization, no in-class connection?  These kids got Epsteined in the absolute worst way, and it will only get worser. DO works in/with early childhood development, and sees all …

The More Things Change the More They Don’t

Lon and Gretta married older … he was 42, she just 39.  Before the wedding, both owned their own homes and enjoyed fairly comfortable, relatively debt-free lifestyles.  With a $60K annual income, Gretta earned a bit more than Lon.  After the nuptials, they combined incomes and sold their homes to buy a bigger, more expensive …
