  • If I could materialize condolences, and give them all to you… well, I guess that would be a headache of a storage issue for most people… but I would still want to give them all to you

    It’s almost impossible to describe loss sometimes; and yet we all experience it, if we’re lucky enough to stay longer than those whom we love. I know it’s cliché, but “better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all”… a bittersweet notion

    The fact that a stranger feels compelled to offer condolences, regardless of societal pressure… is a testament to the love and companionship you shared with Kevin. I am truly so sorry for your loss, and I hope you’re doing well enough through it all

    Until the end and beyond, you’ll forever be best friends. And the world is better for it. So, three cheers to Kevin!

    I find the entire concept of “childless” or “childed” surreal

    We would love to have kids. We can’t (easily or realistically). So gloating about having free time because no kids, or how amazing it is to be a parent… just seems, insincere sometimes. Idk, maybe it’s a little bitterness talking and I should just let people have fun with their memes. I guess I just find gloating about having or not having children to be weird, when for some people it’s not really a choice

    By no means am I trying to say that you’re gloating about anything, I thought your comment was sweet. I was just adding a third perspective to a random comment



  • My wife and I are both allergic. Long story short: we suffered, bought an oversized (HEPA) air-purifier (plus some small ones), suffered some more, then became much more tolerant of the allergens… only took a few years to not have asthma upon waking up

    So, it can be done — but your mileage and allergies may vary. Downside is, a lot of my family is very allergic too, so staying at my house is almost non-optional. Upside is, loving best friends and… staying at my house is almost non-optional if allergic

    We keep a pet-free guest bedroom for reprieve, but ya gotta want it. Antihistamines available upon request


  • My wife and I were adopted last month (I’m pretty sure). We tried finding her home on the social media sites as well as put up picture-flyers around town, still nobody claiming her. So now we have an appointment for vaccinations and a spay, and we’ll go from there

  • After searching, I am now aware of the film “Freaks”, from 1932. I’ll have to take a watch

    I always knew it from “South Park”, assumed it was a reference to something else, and never inquired more until now

    That being said; maybe just adding a disclaimer to check out the movie “Freaks” would be cool (for those who aren’t aware of the origins). But I wouldn’t always choose to use the “Original Movie Gif”, because there’s so many great variations

    A disclaimer would be cool to encourage people to watch the original (just for ‘learning purposes’ at some point), but I wouldn’t knock someone for not disclaiming it. I would probably just reply to them that “the original movie from where that came from is really worth watching”

    Unless I watch it and the movie ends up being hot garbage… then I won’t disclaim nor comment about it. Only time will tell, what my feelings will be after I give it a watch. Thank you though for the insight, cause I’m now excited to watch this old, crazy-seeming film. It looks good
