Aw, congrats on the hard work!

Our kid was like this too, and she struggled with her fear of talking to strangers. Fast forward 12 years and she has a cafe job and is known for being the one who can charm the difficult customers. (And answer the phone! Her peers are terrified of phone calls!)

I swear to god I write smarter in Avenir.

Oh no now I find Marco Rubio relatable!

You’re gonna have to move, I’m so sorry.

I had a joke about Theseus but I changed all the bits.

Hard agree. Brownish mottled medium sized raptor? Same bird.

I just refuse to believe that downy woodpeckers and hairy woodpeckers are different species.

It’s a scam.

My male role models were my grandfathers and uncles. WW2 and Vietnam vets. Small business owners. Blue collar workers. A cop.
