With that amount of openness, going down half a size will be doable. Where you may run into trouble is if the little strap across your toes will be too tight. What’s the return policy?

That’s just it. “Old(er) People: give me your worst fuckups”

“KNEEL BEFORE NEIL!!”

This looks heavenly.

Until I feel a sneeze coming on.

Rolling up to the Paul McCartney farewell tour.

Ooh good idea! My cats have had something similar to OPs toy. They loved it at first, then grew tired.

Then I got the mat accessory, which is like a big pocket made out of the spring wire sun shades for cars, and the toy contained inside mimicked a panicked mousie. They loved playing with that. Then grew tired.

A new venue for the coked up ‘mouse’ toy would probably rekindle their interest for a couple of weeks.

I found a MCM couch and 2 armchairs in excellent condition. Whoever loved them last had them recently reupholstered in good quality fabric. They are so comfy to sit in!

Did your wife talk him into laying in the hallway just to test your awareness? Or did he figure he was going to prank Dad all on his own?

I think I laughed too, but it was the Sunday school teacher that shared that with me. I think that may have been the moment where little me learned that not all adults can be relied on for facts.

“Lions are the boys and tigers are the girls.”

“People used to live to be 900 years old.”

Makes me want to ask what other kooky wrongness they hold in their head, either in childrearing beliefs or general day to day knowledge.

Yeah, my initial take was self-degradation. Interesting to see the variety of interpretations.

And in case self-degradation is what OP meant, I tend to remind myself “would I say that in that way to my bestie?” Pretending I’m mentoring a vulnerable kid/teen is also working.

You act like I don’t already sing it daily to my cats.

I’ve been binging Hellier.

I had saved it to my watchlist way back, but was looking for something weird and nonsensical this week, so I gave it a go. Turns out it’s based partly on a tiny community in extremely rural eastern Kentucky about 20 minutes from where my Papaw and his people are from (and that holler is so remote that you used to have to drive a ways up a creek to get to it - the creek was the road). It was such a kick to watch them driving there…I recognized the landmarks!

Catfishing!

No, really. It’s a Purina/Friskies app. One of my girls couldn’t care less, but the other LOVES to watch it and swat my phone. I had to keep adjusting the settings until it fully captured her attention. You can change size, quantity, color, and speed of the fish. I thought a full-on fish fracas would be to her liking, but turns out that just one really large fish is more fun for her.

Edit: I also had to demonstrate swatting the fish to her so she could see that they wiggle and disappear when whacked.

If you have a friend to rely on to keep pinging the doc and cc-ing you, that was what finally got me there in the end. The specialist in my town was (you guessed it) incredibly ADHD themselves and in dire need of a personal assistant.

A rational person might talk it through. A mean person will turn up the mean. 0/10, cannot recommend
