But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, can some parents here watch the video at this link and reassure me that it's deviant behaviour on the part of everyone without a blindfold?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Pretty sure I can do that without watching the video.

Because books.

Oh my GOD. Why would you do that?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So, in an effort to feed myself from the freezer I just ate a bowl of frozen peas heated up with salt and butter.

This proved so successful that I then heated up frozen green beans in butter with a dash of Balsamic vinegar.

Also delicious.

My shocking scientific discovery? Butter makes it better.

Write that down before you forget it.

The video really helps. Because, until I watched it, I assumed the parents were tricked into French kissing their kids. Gross, but not their fault, right?

Uh-huh.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm finding this really charming. A truck driver and his wife (from a town that I used to live in, btw) won $8.3 million in the Lotto. He was facing bankruptcy with his credit card bills, and now he gets to call his lawyer and stop those proceedings, and they get to move out of the trailer park and take "a modest vacation trip to Minnesota." "See the Little House on the Prairie," Janet said, jumping up and down. "That's what we're going to do."

Once you get past $75,000/year, money can't make you happy: [link]

I would like the ability to test that theory.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What the fucking fuck, ita?!?!?!?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think I'd need a little bit more than that to run into significant diminishing returns on enjoying world travel, but an extra 30 grand/year would eliminate pretty much any unhappiness in my life with a monetary cause.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not enough ew in the world for that video.
