  • I placed an order at a restaurant where you have a name for the order, but you also have names for particular food items. The main name was Mario Mario. The food items were various SMB characters. I went to pick up the food in a Boo shirt and Mario baseball cap. I heard them talking about Mario’s last name being Mario and Luigi’s last name being the same. Anyway, I went over to pick up the order, they noticed my clothes, and started laughing. Good times. Anyway, I like using character names.











  • I agree. However, they do make kid safety stuff that prevents drawers from being opened, which might prevent this. Problem with cats is that you won’t know you need something until after the first time this happens.

    The one we like is basically two pieces of plastic secured to a surface using command strips with a ratcheting strip connecting them. Not too expensive, removable, no holes left behind, easy to install and use.



  • Some of my women friends have shared that they definitely felt a need/pang/drive to have kids. Not all of them listened based on the other things they decided to do with their lives or their bodies’ ability, but it doesn’t mean the feeling isn’t there. I wouldn’t conclude from my anecdotal information that that drive extends to all women, but I would guess that many women feel it given how prevalent the discussion is.

    The choice of whether to have kids at all is important, but doesn’t rule out the presence of some evolutionary biological drive. Although, it’s possible it’s not some genetic instinct and is instead some cultural thing that becomes more powerful during certain hormonal shifts that occur across a woman’s life cycle. I’ve never studied such things, but I’m open to different possibilities.

    My kids often don’t listen, struggle with lying, have no regard for consent of others or personal property, and a host of other issues. Expressing love is not one of them. My kids (still young) show me they love me (and my wife) nearly continuously. The rest they’re learning.


  • My neighbor’s cat is mostly deaf. Because of this, he is so loud when he meows. When he’s outside, we occasionally hear him meowing. He’s seeing who will come and entertain him. The first time I heard it, I went to make sure he was okay. He was just chilling. He didn’t want me to pet him, but he also didn’t want me to leave.
