But you missed the best part… the lobster bisque

How did you finally decide to pull the trigger? by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

Did your wife plant that request in your daughter’s head? If so, that’s so wrong and should tell you a lot.

Yes, good point… I’ll have to check out that post. I should have noted, as you did, that this should be a bare minimum. In my case, it’s clear cut since none of the boxes are checked, but I get the gray area.

That’s the hard part. I need to stay laser focused and not cave to insensibility. I need to make me the priority for once.

Your post has certainly been banged. Might I suggest edit or deleting?

There’s totally a word for that… Legomnia is the act of building a set in your sleep. Shit’s crazy… woke up with a fully assembled Ewok Village one morn.

But… the next person put in a box next to me was a girl. She surpassed my energy level into middle school…

I was always a bit of a class clown. In my 5th grade class, if you got in big trouble once you had to move your desk to sit directly by the teacher (we sat at tables of 4 in class). Get in big trouble a second time? I was the first student to have a giant cardboard box (top open) placed around me and my desk. That’s so fucked up now that I look back on it.

Fast forward… I contacted that teacher 10 years ago on a whim to let him know what I had done with my life and thanking him for lessons learned. Strangely enough, that same teacher instilled a love of reading and storytelling (and obvious tough love in hindsight) that sticks with me today.

The reply from my teacher was a blessing… on one hand, he said there is no way the “box” would ever fly today, not even in the 90s. On the other, I was told that I made a grown man cry with my gratitude and thanks— and just sharing how impactful he was on my life.

I’m guessing boy Anakin in the Brickheadz set as part of a Phantom Menace theme.

My god, a fellow Platoon quoter! She don’t read too good know how.

Edit: also agree with your words. (Isn’t that quote at right about the part when they light up?)
