What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Smart man!
Or a hard learner! It took me a while to figure that out unfortunately. Lots of apologies from my side I can promise you that!
 
Oh thats my downfall. They got her on a diet now so she cant eat anything she wants so shes awry like an alligator with no toothbrush!
Poor wife and poor you!

I think that's a very good idea!
 
Some of those are actually really good.
Yes they are! I had one made with Almond milk which was pretty tasty. I'm assuming it's for those who are lactose intolerant. I'm not lactose intolerant... more on the verge of hostile. Milk definitely bloats me out and turns me into the Aflac duck!

The pregnancy hormone post was not meant to offend any currently pregnant females who may read that post..

But, I bet Bailey can attest to that... Mike would too but his wife may see it!
Hey, I have pregnancy adjacent, sympathy hormones. does that count?
 
That's always a good idea!
It's getting towards lunch time so deciding between today and tomorrow as it's fifty minutes away. Hmmm, maybe today and tomorrow is the ticket.

Yes It Is GIF
 
I thought it was just casual banter between friends, but I say we all brush the whole thing off, move on from it, and just enjoy each other's company! We are all friends here, and we welcome everyone to the group. I got brought into the group and never thought I would be a part of it, but that's how friendships work! Luis is not allowed to leave, nor is anyone else. River and I will not allow it, haha (if only River were old enough to type something, I would, but you probably would have to decipher random key strokes).
The love surrounding children can make adults do wonderful things and can be humbled beyond belief by it. Imagine how I felt last night when my son (Big John) asked me to show him everyone's reaction to his youtube videos. There was so many beautiful responses to show him. Sadly, I had to read it to him instead of letting him read it himself, because I didnt want him to see the disagreements.
