When I finally got a place of my own in my 30s, I kept the shelves stocked with the brightest, sweetest, crunchiest kids cereals. Lucky Charms, Trix, Count Chocula, Golden Grahams. All we were allowed to eat as kids was Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes 🤢

Death of a parent and managing their assets.

Just never talked about sickness and death. You always assumed they would be around.

Some cultures and religion make end-of-life stuff really difficult on the kids.

Salary and time off.

Benefits are great but are limited. I had $1,000 in 'mental health' spending but my therapist nearly doubled their pricing over 3yrs. That $1,000 once got me 10-12 sessions now only got me 6.

If Trump was elected in the 80s, he wouldn't be alive long enough to change the name plate of the oval office desk. We're living through such a wild time in history.

Not really.... Brucely isn't exactly an adverb...

Brock Lee tho... that would be an awesome name.

THIS 100%. If I don't get up when my alarm goes off, I'll have less me time before my wife and kid wake up. No time to workout, take a hot shower, run downstairs and enjoy silence.

If my last name was LEE, all my kid's names would be adverbs.

Quick Lee, Total Lee, Probab Lee.

I snored that disrupted my wife at night. I got sleep tested and found out I had Sleep Apnea. A quiet CPAP machine solved my snoring and helped both of us get some rest.

Not the sexiest thing to wear in bed tho.

I'm originally from the UK but moved to Canada when little.

Fall is my favorite season. I LOVE cold, dark, rainy days. My entire body just feels relaxed.

Summers here are getting hotter and hotter, with long stretches of 30c where you can't do anything.

Winters here are either painfully freezing with face-cracking winds or giant dumpings of snow that make getting around impossible

Fall is a nice blend of cooler temps, a little rain, a little darkness, a fresh start with kids gone back to school, just generally pleasant as long as you don't have to clean up too many fallen leaves :)

I’ve noticed ‘the algorithm’ pushing Russian content through Instagram and Facebook reels. Seemingly unrelated to what I usually browse.
