I don't want to participate in the gift exchange, but I'm happy to add people to my card list if they're interested.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I really enjoyed sending and receiving cards last year (Plei's is in a frame on my desk), and would like to do so again.

Why don't my children do their homework?
Relatedly, does anyone want a sweet-tempered, tall, turns 18 in August 2021, assistant/guest/nanny/etc. next year? Working on driving. Cooks. Doesn't do homework.

I’d show her around Seattle, if she came out here, and I’ll have a guest room!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda is crying because her homework assignment is to watch a David Attenborough video, and it's showing animals dying. And that's basically like snuff porn horrible to her.
"Who wants to watch animals dying?!!!"
She had a similar issue with one of her fiction reading assignments. She's a sensitive girl.

Tempting! We might have an extra room by then. Driving NSM an issue in SF. Homework even less so.

Poor, Matilda.
Thankfully, it doesn't look like she'll have to dissect a fetal pig any time soon.
