Feel free to share a dad/grandad/great story. Or is this just me?

Okay, I thought I'd share a nice Dad story to even things out a bit.

I was probably 7 years old, and had already been asleep for awhile. My Dad came, and woke us up, and we thought it was morning, but he told us to put on our winter clothes, and come outside. It had snowed quite a bit after we went to bed, so there was a pretty deep layer of snow glistening under the moon. My Dad pulled us around on sleds, and built snowmen with us, until our fingers were numb, and my Mom insisted we come inside. My Mom made us hot lemonade (this is was a hot cinnamon flavored lemonade that she made us when we couldn't afford stuff for hot chocolate), and my Dad unfolded out the pull out bed, and we all snuggled in, and my Dad told us stories he made up, until we fell asleep.

Anyhow, feel free to share, and nice story, if you have one.

@mizblueprint OK, but that's a really cool brick pattern, what is it called?

@jeff I both love and am scared of escalators lol

Old school Dad stories are like, my Dad loved horses, and one day he stopped riding horses for eight years, and threw something in the old well, and covered it with concrete, and never talked about it again.

My Dad told a story about his Dad where one day he came home, and told everyone to pack their stuff and get ready to go, and apparently his Dad had lost their house in a card game, and they were just homeless for awhile.

Anyway, Mental Healthcare is important.

Sitting through this heat wave, that's basically lasted through the entire summer, while the current administration pretends climate change doesn't exist.

I WANT MY PUMPKIN SPICE SPOOKY SEASON SWEATER WEATHER. But also like for people to survive.

The fun thing about being a person, is, as you slowly start coming into accepting your body as it is, it starts falling apart.

There are worse things than being called a Pussy. You are what you eat.

If as the infamous Strawman Argument states, that taxing the rich won't actually help the economy, please, for the love of all the possible deities, explain to me how taxing poor people does then.

Heroes and Villains have the same backstory.

You're going to be with you for a long time (hopefully), you should try to get along with yourself.

People who carry hope, love, and meaning inside them, in dark times, are the kind of people I want to know.

Some of those people are dogs, but it still applies.

What are your favorite breads, both sweet and savory?

The Committee to End Committees has created a subcommittee.

A couple questions for people who are perimenopausal/menopausal:

What age did you start to notice symptoms?

What were your symptoms?

How long did they last or do they continue to last?

Did you take or do anything to help with symptoms? Did it help?

Do you feel like a different person?

Honestly, feel free to drop any information you'd like. Just moving into this period of my life, and I'm curious about other people's experience.

I 100% get liberal women or any woman, not wanting to date Conservative men, what I have trouble understanding is why Conservative men keep trying to date liberal women, and want to change them, when there are plenty of Conservative women who want to live that Trad life (apparently, according to them).

Why would you just not go find that plethora of women that want to be submissive to you?

It is bizarre that people still fall for, "If you raise taxes the billionaires will just leave"

As if the world cannot exist without them. They only bring revenue, by literally not paying people what they're worth.

Oh nooo, the ticks are leaving the dog.

Please, let the door hit you on the way out.

Oh noooo, I'm becoming radicalized by empathy and logic!

Some fun reasons from the Declaration of Independence stating why a leader should be overthrown:

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury
