We have started printing the new shirts for the bar. They should be up on our website soon if you want one.

Filling this out was both a gut punch and a chance to reflect.

All in all, I can't think of anything I'd do differently. I hope he feels the same.

My son decided there should be a rec league for moms who have only ever learned anything about a sport for their kids' sake. We can attempt to play while the kids spectate. He also said everyone gets a jersey that says number 1 because every kid thinks they have the number 1 mom. I love him so much.

I'm guessing there's a different dinosaurs that I'm not aware of because I thought of this?

The one and only time I ever did anything devious as a teenager was the day I convinced a few friends we should leave school to hit dairy queen and see if we could eat an entire dq ice cream cake in one sitting (we didn't quite finish it but dug out the last of the crunchies before calling it quits)

I saw one the other day that was painted like one of the toddler Fisher Price pedal cars (red with a yellow roof)!

I have an ex who always chooses a car that shows status even if it's not the one he likes the most, and it's 90% for the boys. He once bought a (nice, but sensible) vehicle he LOVED until a couple guy friends of his made fun of it. He'd traded it in for a 'manlier' SUV within a week

ALSO why are house numbers usually kinda hidden and dark here?? In my fam's neighborhood in Canada they are all large numbers and brightly lit in a consistent place on each house, or at least in some Detroit suburbs they're painted on the curbs

I've only been to the MN Opera before and know only as much as the programs tell me, but I love the delight of experiencing a story with fresh eyes. I'm getting tickets for next weekend. We're so lucky to live in a place where there is always some kind of magnificent art happening!

Photo of a few square inches of tree trunk. Growing on the tree trunk are several grey lichens (growing flat on tree), a lichen that looks like a bunch of tiny egg yolks, and a bright red fungus that looks like a half dozen or so round/oval red blobs.

It's my first night alone since October (and that was for a work conference so it doesn't really count) and i just sat in my car in silence for like 20 minutes. Might get really wild and go sit in my apartment in silence now too

It's possible! In 2009 I blew a head gasket (my fault, not the car's, haha) and sold it to a guy who was going to school to be a mechanic. He rebuilt the engine and was still driving it as of 2012, with somewhere around 300,000 miles on it

That VW was a funny car. The car alarm would go off whenever it was too hot outside and the front headlights liked to fall out sometimes! It was also so low to the ground that I was constantly getting stuck in the snow. Not the most reliable but still a cute car.

I've owned exactly 5 cars! Now guess which one was the most reliable?

1993 Toyota corolla

Volkswagen beetle, the bubble looking one

Porsche Cayenne

Jaguar XF

Mazda CX9

(I was married to someone with money for a while and went through a Phase, ok? My next car will be a bus pass)

Thank you, I so appreciate that! Gratitude for the QT as well. I'm sure he will appreciate the kind words.

A few years ago he started going to open mics and for the first time I watched him prioritize something he enjoys. I have seen his life and joy return. He doesn't have grandiose dreams but having people support his music is a dream come true for him! Please help me give him the best birthday!

My dad has worked multiple jobs most of my life. Many of my values came from watching him lead his union. He had to un-retire for financial reasons and his current job is physically demanding and hard on his health. He has been unable to find gentler work due to his age.
