    My wife, daughter and I are dinner out in front of the house. My wife sitting on the steps, looks over at my daughter’s fairy garden and starts clearing it out. While my daughter is not happy at first, my wife explains that she’s clearing it out so that my daughter can do it all over again. She then says, “[Daughter], can you go get the muffin pan on the bench and bring it out here?” Our daughter starts walking into the house.

    I then reply, “[Daughter], do you know what a muffin pan is?” My daughter starts slowly closing the door from the inside and giving me the longest stink eye to date. :-D She’s looking at me like Are you stupid, Old Man? I have a hard time keeping a straight face when these moments arise.

      I’m just now seeing this article from Bring Me the News

      https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota...ST_EMAIL_ID%5D

      I posted about this a bit when it originally happened, and this is a follow-up to a double-murder-suicide in Bloomington, MN. The head guy in the scam was my BIL’s cousin. I used to know that guy when we were all kids. (My BIL was my best friend when we were kids, and introduced me to his wife’s sister, who later became my wife).

        Next month is going to be weird:

        Autism testing starts August 1.

        Corrective surgery on my right foot August 15. This time, they're taking a piece from the calcaneus and grafting it into the talonavicular joint, along with a plate and screws.

        I can do it, but I am terrified.

          I picked up 10 losing Powerball tickets today. I’m so excited for tonight’s drawing!

            Six wasp sting, four between my ankle and the back of my knee on my right leg, another on my left ankle, and one on my right forearm. It was all it the span of a few seconds. Death to all yellow jackets!

              TIL my daughter was initially supposed to be induced two days earlier than her 8/10 birthday but they had to wait.

                Anyone else have a spouse that Saturday morning talks about the 3 chores they need to do for the weekend and then waits until 7:30 pm Sunday to start on said chores?

                      I’m with the other two.

                      At the same time, I actually was productive this weekend, taking things to Good Will, fixing some paint issues, tearing down some shelves, taking my daughter to a couple parks, and mowing the lawn. Very odd.

                        So, wouldn't you think that a tour called the Acropolis Walking Tour would actually include going to the Acropolis as part of that tour? I thought that, then got my confirmation and there is an entry fee to the Acropolis that we have to pay.

                            I think it would depend. Sometimes the tour fees are all-inclusive, sometimes you're just paying for the guide. Are you doing it this month? As someone who once did a tour of the Acropolis in August, let me tell you it will be hot and all the old bleached ruins will reflect it all directly at you. (It's worth it, don't get me wrong.)
