I didn't want to go there. I had some clever question typed in, and then removed it before posting. A rare instance of thinking first, clicking on the POST button second.

Ha, that's funny. Posting first and thinking second (by everyone I mean) has always made for some interesting threads around here.

You know... I've come to expect a little crap. Being met with polite silence is even lonelier than being met with a lot of uncalled for crap.
It's so hard to get the right amount of crap in life.

I don't envy anyone being the father of daughter(s).

and you shouldn't
I told Hooky years ago to keep his sons away from my daughters

I have a friend who has a son and a daughter who always says with a son you only have to worry about one penis but with a daughter you have to worry about every penis in town.

I always get a big smile when he says it because his daughter is about as a attractive as a totem pole.

Well, I was also sad that no one gave me a hard time for my youthful act of defiance (making the streets around my high school safe for the underbodies of speeding cars, as it were), particularly that after nearly 40 years, it's still a general secret that I've only told you all. But all I got was ... crickets.
Anywho, that's an interesting wrinkle, primo, about all your sons' gfs being a part of your collective "stable", at least in a fantasy kind of way. As I was reading your post though, I thought of my brother and his three daughters, and how he'd viewed their bf's coming around, even as he fed them, as anything but part of his stable. The view was more like the house is being circled by wolves!! and he needed to find some wolf-spray, or maybe even build an electric fence.
I don't envy anyone being the father of daughter(s).

I am remiss, cousin Fred. Your mischievous ingenuity and initiative is only exceeded by your ability to take a secret to the grave.
You are an exemplary child of the ‘70s; “cooool,” in the meaningful sense that magical word once possessed.

I like that English is a living language, constantly being shaped and smoothed like a river rock. I hate it that sometimes words lose their finer nuances. I suppose other words take on more subtle interpretations so it probably all evens out in the wash.

Working in public health, we always try to be cognizant and respectful of every different sort of identifying human - cause you know if your goal is to raise awareness so people take care of themselves, the last thing you want to do is alienate them by being offensive.

It’s amazed me how the non-traditional sexuality folks add a new letter every month or so. LGBT etc. etc. i saw one variation that included the letter Q. When I inquired they told me it meant queer.

I was like wait a minute. That was like the N word to that community in the 70s and 80s. Now they’re embracing it?

I said, are you sure it isn’t queen?

I was like wait a minute. Didn't you already cover that in one or two of the aforementioned letters?

Or possibly just get rid of all the letters and just go with the Q. Shouldn't that cover it?

Well I suppose you could be T without being Q? Post-op or something? I don't know.

I know a few folks within that general community, and they don't actually identify with the official LBGTQ organizations because in trying to be all things to everyone, they're actually only representing some smaller part of the community-- whichever ones are served most closely by those in power. And they don't feel their wants/needs are all identical. Their opinions, not mine, I really have no idea.

when you include every penis in town, there's going to be one or three that would like to notch a totem pole.

here is something i think i hate...

... just returned from lunch at one of the box joints. like most it has the bar area with surrounding booths and bar tables. this is where i choose to sit 99/100 times whether accompanied or not.

children in the bar area negates the purpose for a bar area in the first place. but there they were- three different instances of people bringing their children in the joint and choosing to sit in the bar area- with their children- instead of in the general restaurant seating area.. they were being loud and obnoxious like children are, and beyond the point where conversations can be had by either the parents or those around. it's stupid. they can have all of the regular seating area they want- the bar area is for adults. dang it.

you should have mentioned it to your server at least and then to management

or you could have just tossed back a few drinks and thrown some loud foul language towards that group

and let the conversation start from there

and tell em to stay off your lawn too

i have zero issues with children... i have a four almost five year old for the love of Christ... however, if i go to one of these places, and i choose to sit in an area designated for adults, it's likely for a reason and that reason is likely to get a break from children...

it's not an unreasonable expectation i don't think.

and kids on my lawn isn't an issue... people walking their dogs and letting them shit in it w/o picking it up is the issue. i've literally had neighbors walk their dogs and seen them shit in my yard whilst they watch, and just walk off... meanwhile, same neighbor, while i'm walking my dog yell at me from the house as we approach (and my dog firmly on the street) "if that dog shits i my yard you better pick it up!'....

to which i've answered "or what MF'r?"

my neighbors are mostly assholes.

Oftentimes kids are the unintended product of irresponsible behavior on the part of their parents. Then we act surprised when those same parents raise rowdy kids with no boundaries or sense of decorum.

But we err when we paint all kids with the same broad brush. Some parents take responsibility and raise good kids. Kids who sit quietly and behave themselves are inoffensive in just about any public setting.

In fact sometimes the biggest critics of children in public are 20-something singles who tend to make an obnoxious conspicuous spectacle of themselves wherever they are.
