I don’t see how any of this matters.

New Orleans. Brothers Food Mart, 2012. A convenience store that was serving the best fried chicken. So unassuming. So delicious.
There was also another hole-in-the-wall bar that had the best gumbo that we ate after trying Oysters Rockefeller somewhere else.
We’re from Toronto and that trip was years ago but we still speak fondly of the food and the people of New Orleans to this day.
This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.
When I finally got a place of my own in my 30s, I kept the shelves stocked with the brightest, sweetest, crunchiest kids cereals. Lucky Charms, Trix, Count Chocula, Golden Grahams. All we were allowed to eat as kids was Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes 🤢
Death of a parent and managing their assets.
Just never talked about sickness and death. You always assumed they would be around.
Some cultures and religion make end-of-life stuff really difficult on the kids.
Salary and time off.
Benefits are great but are limited. I had $1,000 in ‘mental health’ spending but my therapist nearly doubled their pricing over 3yrs. That $1,000 once got me 10-12 sessions now only got me 6.
Cantonese Chow Mein Chicken with Black Bean Sauce Sweet n Sour Chicken Balls
Occasionally shrimp fried rice or beef & broccoli
Oh and their fried chicken wings! Yummm
LOL that’s me after my wife and kid shower. Luke warm dribble and I’m a bald guy so I don’t have to fuss with washing hair and stuff. My showers are quick.
Is 40gal-50gal normal for a home? Previous owners were an elderly couple. I’m sure it suited them well. But with our family of 3 with laundry and occasional dishwasher running, it seems like it’s just slightly not enough. Especially if we’re all trying to get ready for an event or have family staying with us.
Maybe I just need to get it serviced… Thanks!
Really? A home water heater doesn’t do 3 showers back to back to back? For the record that’s just a stock photo. We actually have a 50Gal. I just feel like when I was a kid growing up at my parents house, our heater could easily handle 7-8 showers in a row when we had relatives staying with us. Thanks for the reply!
If Trump was elected in the 80s, he wouldn’t be alive long enough to change the name plate of the oval office desk. We’re living through such a wild time in history.

Not really… Brucely isn’t exactly an adverb…
Brock Lee tho… that would be an awesome name.
THIS 100%. If I don’t get up when my alarm goes off, I’ll have less me time before my wife and kid wake up. No time to workout, take a hot shower, run downstairs and enjoy silence.
If my last name was LEE, all my kid’s names would be adverbs.
Quick Lee, Total Lee, Probab Lee.
Could never sleep properly before kids. Now, I’m tired all the time and could fall asleep in seconds, on any surface.
