Last time I did Thanksgiving I had 15 guests. At the end of the meal my daughter got me to sit down in the living room and one of her friends organized the cleanup. All the pots, pans ,roasting pan, glasses, plates silverware were cleaned and put away. The kitchen was spotless even the floor was swept.

This happened to me at a concert (open outdoor venue) when I was with my sister a long time ago and knowing nothing else, we locked arms, basically not to get separated (we are both fairly tall, which is the only way we managed to lock arms).

what the fuck went wrong with Newsweek?  those mfers are crazy now

Kids are human beings who deserve respect. Yes, parents need to be the adults, which includes saying no to things, but that doesn’t mean completely dismissing who they are and what they are thinking.

Yeah, it is.  I find that I tend to rise with the daybreak. This is especially annoying when I want to sleep in on weekends. XD

For those who are affected by the lack of sunlight, vitamin D supplements are a godsend. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a thing, give me my vitamin D gummies!
