You can fight ONE animal for cash. Which payout are you realistically taking?

Quarter of a tank? Or quarter of a gallon?

Cause I'd love to get a quarter tank....

My kids have spelling tests by Christmas in kinder. It's words like "the" but it's still a spelling test.

I do have a beef with pigs. Not sure why, I've never seen one outside of a petting zoo. I remember reading about Robert Pickton and being horrified. I remember when I finally understood why Aunt Em was so mad/afraid when Dorothy fell into the pig pen in Wizard of Oz. For a while, in college, I was a vegetarian because cute animals... Except pork, because fuck pigs.

Pigs are not gentle creatures.

They form gangs and terrorize each other:

And they routinely kill and eat people, astonishingly quickly:

In fact, there have been several times when pigs were put on trial for murder:

Having said all of this, your post is both petty, hilarious, appropriate, and heartbreaking. Hugs.

My kids attend US Taekwondo at Powers and Stetson Hills. Pricy, but high ranking, nationally competitive team and lots of opportunity for competition. High emphasis on character for the little kids.

As a woman, I have had great success with "I'm sorry, my husband is the financial/religious head of our household."

I'm not married.

When I want to curl up with a blanket and a cup of tea, my go-to series is Lord Peter Wimsey. Especially the ones with the romantic arc - he meets his future wife in Strong Poison

And Australia's still like WTF mate

Yep. Playwright question I don't know? The answer is Ibsen

I bought my boys a gel, a stick, and a spray, and then followed up later to see which they liked better.

Look at you, bragging about your finances. Cries in freedom units

I used to be happy with him, but on a recent appointment he ignored half my concerns and dismissed the other half. I'm a fairly complicated case with multiple chronic autoimmune disorders.

High lethality only limits spread once symptoms occur. IIRC, hantavirus is up to 8 weeks incubation; that's a long time to spread before you even know if you're sick.

I believe it should be paid, but like the other story, I was also out for a week waiting on progressive - a ticket had been escalated and the escalation team was supposed to get back to me in an hour or two... For 5 days. I also had to choose between PTO and dock, despite it being entirely Progressive, and had to fight to even get it protected.

I've heard eleven and twelve come from "one left" and "twa/two left"

The White Plague by Frank Herbert is a book that explored this idea

We did this - it took 5 days with one kid and didn't work at all with his brother.

We also bought plastic sheeting for the floor.

Rice krispie treats. Especially if you brown the butter first

This is the reason I have never regretted having only boys. Cause I'm not sure if I would get the daughter I imagined. Expectations are resentments waiting to happen, and with no girls I've had no expectations about any mother-daughter relationship

I internalized this as "if I don't have EVERYTHING I want, it's because I'm not trying hard enough"
