Fair. Just making fun of Windows 11.
Yeah, you're blessed to have one of each. Until they start conspiring against you, which you KNOW is going to happen.

You charge to "upgrade" to Windows 11? How evil are you?
For all my pro-life ramblings, we were granted only one child.
Precious. I feel bad you couldn't have more though. G-d has been very generous to us.
Keeping up with two toddlers after age 50 can't be easy.
And yet i wouldn't trade it for anything! Thank G-d, we have a lot of help. Especially, when some neighboring girls come by to take our son for a walk. G-d bless them all.

Well, that escalated quickly. Or not so quickly. Looking at my post from 20 years ago, if you had told me just how much shittier the Internet would become, I wouldn't have believed you.

Yeah, everyone acts as if it were super important to only hire the most excellent people, but the truth is that a satisficing approach is a lot more efficient. Hire for attitude and train for skill. It is all just a giant lottery anyway.

If it were the bar of Andreas, it would have an apostrophe after the s. And that would be a correct apostrophe, not a Deppenapostroph.

Babies are delicious, especially when they are yours. I find myself kissing him all the time thinking of how delicious he is. So, i started telling people: I'm not kissing my son, i'm holding back from eating him.
