@MrsCMFrancis Even though my wife is a stay at home mom, I always look at it as “our” money, rather than “my” money. So “we” pay off her student loans rather than me.

My husband paid off my student loans for me while I carried his son so idk I kinda feel like that was a pretty fair

Haha sounds like our wives would be friends! And you’re one step ahead with the family vacation plans. The English countryside, especially around the Cotswolds, is like the Shire. We are going to do one day in the Cotswold on this trip. We are meeting up with a lifelong friend tomorrow morning in Cambridge.

@Gxpx5 My wife almost had a heart attack when we used the subway. She accused me of putting our family in mortal danger 😂 We stayed in the Cotswolds for a week. It was perfect. Small quiet villages, lots of estates to stroll around with the kids, beautiful churches...

This is how I prefer to travel.

@DmitriyMolla That would be a lot faster! I would love to bring my kids to the uk someday. The underground would give my wife a heart attack. But a trip to the cotswold could work.

@Gxpx5 Sounds like a great trip! When we were in London last October I took a day and went to London on my own. Rode around the entire city on electric bikes and scooters. It was a blast.

Im with my brother (our wives our home with our kids) We went from Soho to the British Museum, from there we made our way down to Westminster, we then took the Underground North and were exploring Reagent Park. No way we could walk that much if I had my kids with me ( we have six, youngest is a 9 months old)

@Gxpx5 12 MILES IN ONE DAY??? 😲 We covered lots of limes with our kids on our UK trip but never came close to this!

@DmitriyMolla We’re getting our steps in today.

@DmitriyMolla im here too.

Having young kids makes me constantly have flashbacks to my own childhood. Things I haven’t thought about in decades. Pre-school. The way the sun hit my childhood homes kitchen in the late morning. Being in a car seat. My parents washing my hands and face after a meal. And I get this feeling sometimes that is real hard to describe. It’s not sentimental, but it’s not not sentimental. It’s not sad, but it’s not happy. It’s sort of all off it It’s really experiencing my youth like it’s a single impressionist painting, a sort of instant everything of the experience, and subconscious sweeping though the feeling that there are some things I wish could have been different, and I would do differently, and there are some things that were perfect, some things I can’t believe I got so lucky with, and some things I can’t believe were such bad luck. And then just like looking an impressionist painting, you walk away from it because the next thing happens, and your day keeps going.

@evelynfbw @Tanyaelisabeth @elonmusk congratulations on the seven children though.

@Tanyaelisabeth @elonmusk I had 7 babies and when the youngest turned about 8 years old, the house became harsher. Sympathy for the “poor baby” was gone. It did effect the emotion of the house.

For most of human history, women did not experience children as some rare interruptions to adult life. Babies were everywhere, in arms, on hips, asleep in slings, playing under tables while bread was kneaded and laundry was folded. A young girl did not grow up in a world separated from motherhood. So how can women want babies when they rarely see babies? A baby changes the atmosphere of a room, people smile more, they speak softer, they are gentler, there is more joy. Perhaps the desire for children has not disappeared nearly as much as we think. Perhaps many women have simply been separated from the very thing that used to awaken that desire in their hearts.

@FischerKing64 These are the kinds of posts I want randomly popping up on my feed. History, obesity, the importance of purpose in your life, it's got it all.

I think obesity is rooted in people feeling that their lives have no meaning or purpose - every other explanation is minor, even a way to avoid that we’ve created western societies that make people feel useless. This is King Edward VII. He was ‘Prince of Wales’ until he was almost 60, just waiting for his mother Queen Victoria to die. He was called ‘the prince of pleasure,’ which mostly meant consuming staggering quantities of food. 12-15 course meals day after day. Victoria was also a terrible mother - she kept him away from any government business until she was almost at the end of her life and blind. She basically deprived him of having any sense of meaning and value in his life - and so he got fat. To his credit - when he became King he worked hard. He probably killed himself from overwork, too much eating - and too much smoking (you guys promoting tobacco are barking up the wrong tree btw). But he never had a real sense of purpose until he was 60 years old. That would be hard.

This is from the late 1900’s

@Wfflussy @PalmyrPar haha….that tracks

@Gxpx5 @PalmyrPar There's a bit of a bull in a china shop thing going on.

I met a blonde white guy raised from birth in Japan (with no Japanese ancestry), and I don’t know how to explain it, but he looked literally, physically more Asian than other white guys.

@Wfflussy @PalmyrPar What mannerisms make an American easy to spot?

@PalmyrPar Mannerisms. It's why you can spot Americans from miles away.

@pauluitdenhaag2 @RobertMSterling Fair point.

@Gxpx5 @RobertMSterling At least it happened 6 times. No worries.

His wife just put on something lacy. Have the toddler start projectile vomiting.

60 years ago

Imagine renting a movie called Excessive Force with high hopes for lots of action and it ends up being her biopic

Don’t believe what they tell you ….

one of the most beautifully illustrated shows of all time whenever i see stills or clips of the animation it always evokes a very specific mood

The series is over when you see this graphic

@BenHowardOPT I think this is a good point.

5) SGA himself doesn't play a classically explosive style. No flashy passes. No loud dunks. He is slinky and smooth and his superpower is balance and consistency. That's not sexy. JDub does! But he's not the main attraction. So does Chet.

So here's my honest answer for why people hate OKC and SGA. I think the SGA hate has a lot of factors, and very few have to do with flopping or drawing fouls. 1) There's a lot of latent hate of OKC because of the Sonics move, yes, even 20 years later.
