Hunter brings access, or perceived access. That’s what nearly all famous peoples’ kids bring to the table. It sucks but it’s SOP.

As a parent, you’ll know what works best for your kid. For ours, when they were that age, it was, “God you stink! Get your ass in the shower! And wash — WITH SOAP!” or “JFC! Leave a little hot water for the rest of the family, please!”

...and my husband, who is immune-compromised. He bought his weeks ago, before the coronavirus was more than just a passing mention in the news.

You kids! I learned to parallel park in a ‘71 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. It had incredibly good power steering but was also half a city block long. Now I can parallel park any damn thing anywhere.

I grew up eating KC Drive Inn (RIP *sob*) waffle dogs, and that’s pretty close to what you’re describing. I should try that this weekend.

Until February 20, however, you can net yourself a high-end jump starter

We’re always told to dread the “empty nest”, but I’m here to tell you it was great once our kids moved out.

That’s fine, bro, because I’ll be paying twice as much as you do to get my blouse dry-cleaned tomorrow. It all evens out, right?

Home-based, but triggered by grad school. It took over a year to get a grading snafu fixed, and now I’m no longer someone who flunked out of grad school. Somehow, I’m feeling less than motivated to return. Imagine that.

We live in an older rental house, and have really funky windows. I think someone tried to DIY double-paned windows by just screwing in a second set of windows over the originals. It’s weird and fogs up like hell whenever it gets even slightly cool outside. A couple of weeks ago, I had an idea and threw a couple of…

Yeah, I did a through inspection, re-seated and -plugged everything, all the usual stuff (I’ve been building PCs for 30 years) and nothing solved it. I did a lot of troubleshooting and decided the most effective thing is just to remember to shut it down before moving it, which I do maybe a couple of times a year…

Something no one has touched on is the problem I have with my PC. (I bought a refurb box from Woot awhile ago, so I didn’t build this one myself.) I have to be careful not to shift the box or else it will switch itself off and occasionally will refuse to start back up. It seems to be related to the HDMI port; I’ve…

Not Filipino myself, but my best friend was and I grew up eating at his house all the time. I have that same thought every time someone suggests “adobo sauce” in something.

*Austen, but she didn’t write “Little Women” anyway, Louisa May Alcott did.

Oh, God. How I LOATHED that book!

That would make you the first parent in the whole wide world to ever have to deal with that. :D

Thanks. He’s in relatively good health, but because of his immune status, I pay a lot more attention to stories of various outbreaks these days.
