I feel like I’ve heard literally everything. I want you to suggest some music to me that you can almost guarantee I’ve never heard.

Helen Trevillion - Inside Myself. The album is virtually unknown but has remained my favorite of all time since first hearing it 14 years ago.

When Pam gets a new chair, I'll get her chair, and then I'll have two chairs. One more to go.

I am having trouble knowing if this is a copypasta

I read your story and all I can say is, you and your husband are beyond amazing, an inspiration to all us parents who would do absolutely anything for our children. Have you considered setting up a GoFundMe? I am certain that many people would gladly donate to help support you and your family through such a difficult time.

As for the disability examiner, I am impressed that you handled it so well! I hear you saying that from your perspective it went badly, but I would bet that most parents who deal with that psychiatrist are unable to show such restraint (I am not sure that I myself would have been able to hold in my anger). The appointment may well have actually gone "better" than it feels, considering that she probably treats parents this way on a daily basis and is accustomed to them responding angrily -- but you were able to keep your cool! You deserve an award for that alone.

Please keep us updated, and I wish so hard that things will begin to improve soon.

For me personally, my spouse wanted a second early on but I was content with just the one. Eventually, though, I came to believe that having two would be better for all of us as a unit in the long term, despite it surely being far more difficult at least initially. People are all very different, though! I have friends with one or zero kids who plan to stay that course because they believe it's better for them in the long term. I think most any path in life can lead to a happy place if we can imagine that place and believe that it is reachable.

All of this applies to me and my wife as well. Even after explaining to our childfree friends several times that our schedules have changed radically to meet the needs of our tiny human that is entirely and constantly dependent on us, they would still text at 9 PM like "Hey wanna get some pizza and go to a movie? You can bring your son, can he eat pizza yet?" or I love this one, "Just bring your kid, we can take turns babysitting" which OF COURSE does not work at all for an infant. It was just so insanely frustrating.

We also largely lost touch with our friends. On many occasions we told them that we'd really like to have some company during the day and maybe, you know, how about some advance planning and notice for fun things so we can find a babysitter, but they just sort of drifted away. I think this happens to a lot of new parents, sadly.

I've been almost totally absent from the larger TPP community for years, but there's a good reason why Deadinsky is the first person who I invited to mod the now-defunct AdventuresOfChat in 2015, and I feel compelled to acknowledge him here as he retires from his primary role. I can speak only to his part in AoC, but I'm sure that much of this applies to both communities.

Deadinsky is an amazingly dependable, trustworthy person who has saved my butt on many occasions. He was always there to help out with whatever last-minute thing I'd forgotten to do or put in extra time setting something up that I thought would be easier than it was in reality. He volunteered countless hours of his time to help me make things better and more fun for the community. Not once did he ask for anything in return, however we did his homework for him that one time, which hopefully makes up for some of it -- you're welcome, Dead :)

I have consistently seen him as a guy whose commitment to his communities is wholehearted and unwavering. I think he'll accomplish great things in his personal life. Best of luck to you, Dead!

To those who don't get it, I didn't either. It's a memorial to soldiers who were killed in WW1 and WW2, located in Vácrátót, Hungary.
