When I was signing for my house, the attorney stated this question as an example of the things to which I would be agreeing while signing the contract.

I told him that the question was being debated and briefly described my understanding of why.

He took it well.

My six-year-old dances when they hear a song they like. They’re aware of money but not concerned about it since they don’t have any bills; they only care about it for occasionally buying a toy for themself. No one is paying them to dance.

I love seeing them dance and don’t hesitate at all to tell them so. There’s such unbridled joy in it. Skill isn’t even a concern - they’re just moving the way their body wants to in response to the music and I think that’s beautiful.

One of my favorite parts of the whole thing is that sometimes they’ll ask me to turn off a song so that they can stop dancing, like it’s an involuntary thing.

Not to stereotype, but I’ve heard that a wizard is never late.

Truly. I can’t imagine the guilt.

When I was a kid, my mom put a lot of effort into teaching and reminding us to cut up our food into small pieces to make choking less likely.

I don’t know if this story is true, but she would always reference how a relative of hers had gotten steak stuck in his throat, couldn’t communicate that, and died in the middle of the dining room seating, surrounded by relatives I guess just thought he was being quiet.

(And that’s why you always leave a note)

edit: Correct a word.

Every time I see “Chuck Tingle” I think of “Chuck Testa.”

Fair enough; but there is a sequel to this game and I suspect others of its like exist.

I’m not familiar with the homeless lady referenced.

I’ve never actually made or had homemade pasta salad, so who knows - I might like it better without!

I respect but disagree with such an opinion, no /s.

I do like pasta salad though, so there are exceptions.

I got a similar reaction when I made a comment derogatory of mayonnaise.

Probably most common condiments have fans ready to defend them.

At least you know the Simpsons dialect.

Wow, good to know. I don’t live there but I’ll keep an eye on them! Thank you.

There’s a Rochester community?

There sure have been a lot of posts on lemmy about Rochester recently.

Did you know it’s also the current residence of the author of Mickey 7 (inspiration for the movie Mickey 17 as well as, presumably, a fairly prolific lemmy poster)? That author also grew up about an hour from where I did.

(I learned this from the “about” section in one of his books so I don’t feel it’s inappropriate to share.)

Well, so far they appear to be on the upswing. Hope the same applies to your household. Thank you for the well wishes and good night!

My condolences to your partner! I hope they feel better soon.

My plans for the morning were to take the wife and kid to a local breakfast buffet, but I exacerbated my chronic back injury yesterday. I was still gonna try to power through it but the kid woke up saying they feel sick, so we decided we’d try again next weekend. (We hadn’t told the kid so they’re not disappointed.)

I might still go and try to pick up food for the family if my back allows, but no adventures on the docket anymore.

That might be what I’d heard. Thank you!

No doubt!

Hey, that’s when I took mine, too! I’d usually be taking them about now but I was under the impression I’d be leaving the house this morning and wanted to be prepared.
