Agreed. I currently have a four year old as a foster. In this first week he’s learned a bunch if stuff. Be patient and consistent, practice at least three times daily, remember that you are the top dog, consult other if you get stuck. You’ll be fine.

And probably very smelly.

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Hybrid voter here: I enjoy the convenience of filling out the absentee ballot at home, then drop it off personally at an early voting location. A poll worker checks for signature/etc. then I can see them putting the envelope into the box.

Yeah, smart women are very attractive. That’s why I married one! (Best decision of my life.)

Yeah, I never knew my real ladder either.

Luckily I had a good extension ladder.

Hmm… looks like a good example of FAS (Fear, Anxiety, Stress).

You’re referring to the former artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince?

If you like eagles, visit Sitka Alaska. They’re as common as pigeons up there.

(Just bigger, and scarier. Have you seen their claws?)

I was going to mention my worst birthday, but it pales in comparison to this. I hope you’re better now.

In my neighborhood taking stuff left at the curb is the norm. Sometimes we‘ll leave a sign to clarify something is free. There have been times when I’ve taken something, used it for a while, then put it back out in the curb for someone else to enjoy.

Follow in the footsteps of Gil Cisneros…

"…is an American government official, philanthropist, and politician who served as Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness in the Biden administration. He served as the U.S. representative for California’s 39th congressional district from 2019 to 2021

“In 2010, he and his wife won a $266 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot and became philanthropists, establishing endowments for scholarships to be given to Latino students at GWU and the University of Southern California. They also founded Generation First Degree Pico Rivera, with the goal of ensuring every Latino household in Pico Rivera has at least one college graduate, and the Gilbert and Jacki Cisneros Foundation with an initial investment of $20 million to provide mentorship in education.”
