We hosted one while I was in college. He fit into our family well and we still stay in touch 20 years later.

I was not! I’ll have to check it out.

COVID originated in the swamps of the deep south.

Edit: obviously, not really, but we shouldnt be too quick to judge where it came from.

Musicals. 😬

Unknown. We decided it would be easier to move. 🤷

I called them when someone was standing on my neighbor’s porch with a shotgun shouting.

Better off ted. Fantastic show.

Try to touch a baby Canadian goose with the parent geese near by. WTF was that lady thinking!?!

Maybe… I depend on it for a bunch of stuff: my calendar, my personal and work email, communication with friends and family, getting my news, taking pictures of fun stuff I’m doing with my kids, reading books, grocery shopping, etc. During a recent power outage, I ended up going to a bookstore for a paper book, since that seemed to be the thing I missed most.

Romance novels are wildly popular (https://freakonomics.com/podcast/romance-novels/) and many of them are very explicit. I remember my mom and grandma (!!!) reading them while watching me and my brother when we were little - can you imagine watching a little porn while watching the kids? 😳

Yeah, it is a bummer. But at this point, I’m old and used to it, and this is the fastest way to get traction on my ideas. 🤷

I ask leading questions that make people think an idea is theirs. Business people love their own ideas. A woman’s? Not so much.

Oh my gosh what I wouldn’t do for pizza delivery! I have celiac and my kids are autistic, one of whom only eats like 7 things (pizza is not one). My husband gets a gold start for keeping us all fed/alive.

You have described his occupation perfectly. It’s not always as awesome as it sounds tho: tonight he had to referee 4 screaming boys in a bouncy house in our living room while making dinner. I’m happy to report everyone survived.

Very little, I basically achieved everything 10 year old me wanted (own a house, work with my dad, have a house husband, own a car - I was a really boring 10 year old).

This is an excellent way for both to become suddenly relevant.

Eat Tex-Mex food. And Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown is in that area.

I hope your treatment goes well!

Brondo, the thirst mutilator.

I don’t decorate, but my husband does (he’s super into it and I am not). He decorates the house for Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. One year, my kids made me put a waving jack skellington on my back windshield wiper.

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷
