Fruit punch is just all the fruits that you wouldn't eat individually mixed together. A jambalaya of mediocrity.

How else would they know where to cross?

I had some good fortune and more money than I was used to a while back. I tried to help good causes when they presented themselves, as my way of paying it forward.

Nowadays, things are a bit more tight. I'm asking homeless people for change. Ok, not that bad, but it's definitely not my time to share.

Hey, Frank. This guy wants us to audit all these companies.

Goddammit! I thought this was going to be an easy Friday. Let me get my auditing shoes.

I just want to point out that inside cats often find a way to become outside cats. Some never try, but don't rule it out.

Other than that, if she never gets out and you don't get any more cats, I don't see why it would be an issue not to.

Your argument seems to revolve around:

More parents = more resources = better children

How about a single mom who is a self made millionaire? She sold her internet startup for more money than you and I will ever see and retired at 30. She can spend 24 hours a day with her child, and never has to worry about money for the rest of her life.

What can your average middle class married heterosexual couple provide that she can't?

Also, I'm curious what your thoughts are on a polygamous/ polyandrous household. Let's say a woman has three husbands, and they are all parents to that child. That should be twice as good as just one mom and dad, right? Does it change your opinion if it's one man with three wives?

Congratulations! A new record!

You just wrote something FAR more stupid than what you replied to!

Thankfully, my wife and I were both open to seeing single parents. Now we are married parents with more kids than we started with!

If you mean as a person without kids, I have a tip: YOU SHOULD NOT BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE KID.

That's not too say that you aren't special or important, it's just that the kid(s) are children that rely on their parent to exist. That's a big responsibility, and it needs to be respected. You're a grown ass adult and you can take care of yourself. If you can't deal with your partner not restructuring their whole life around you, then stay away from people with kids.

You don't need to shift your own priorities and make their child your number one, (maybe if things go well in the long term, that will happen on its own) but, if you go out of your way to at least be friends with the kids, or learn a little bit about them, that's going to score a TON of points with the parent.

A child with one loving parent is better off than a child with any number of disgruntled uninvested parents.

A single mom who goes through all the effort that IVF requires is someone who REALLY wants children. That's someone who will appreciate the gift of parenthood and make sure that they don't waste it.

I'm more concerned with the children that were forced to be born against their parents' wishes. Those children will be seen as a burden that was forced upon their parents. They will be resented, and more likely to be neglected or abused. They will grow up never learning what love and kindness is, and they will take that hatred and spread it into the world, or give up on themselves and turn to drugs, or an abusive relationship.

Toads, bears, pigs and fish. What else do you need? 😂

Far out, man, far out.

That's not too far off from how Germans name animals.

Bat: flutter mouse Skunk: stink beast Tortoise: shield toad Raccoon: wash bear Porcupine: spike pig Turkey: threatening chicken

There's so many more! Go look some up for a laugh.

But how do you categorize vibes?

Fun tip! And now I'm sure there are people nearby wondering why I'm making these strange noises.

I've always wondered how you guys can go more than one song without hurting yourselves.

The 80s was a weird time.

Except Matt Foley. He's a truly inspirational man.

It scared the hell out of me too, but soon it'll be just like walking. When you were first learning to walk, you fell down a lot, and although most of us don't remember it, you were probably reluctant to try again after falling. But you kept trying and it became second nature. Keep practicing and soon you'll be singing along with the radio, eating a burrito and sending texts while merging across 6 lanes of traffic without even thinking about it.

Ok, maybe don't do ALL those things. Just stick with it!

There's not enough meat to play with because I can't get hard at work!

Ahh! It's a Catch 22!

Fair enough. My initial quick google research implied otherwise.

I'm not claiming to be an expert, although I'm not finding anything that uses the term dry liquid to refer to Tetrachloroethylene. Sounds to me like another misnomer. But, I won't say you're wrong.

You're joking right? ... Right?!?
