That's you with the bat isn't it?
Found the Ork boy
I love that you got your childhood home back.
I always dreamed of getting my childhood home back but it's just not in the cards. It was a beautiful acreage - the house sucked, but the property was what made it great. We had about 15 40 ft spruce trees in our yard, a dogwood hedge that would grow from 5 ft to 8 ft if you turned your back on it for more than 3 days (lol), tons of Aspen for a young Shovel to stomp around in, and a slough in the back for said Shovel to catch woodfrogs.
We sold to move into town a few years after my parents split.
Some dickhead moved in, built a big barn thing on one side of the property and cut the bottom branches of a lot of the spruce trees which ruined a lot of the privacy the place had.
I always wanted to move back, rip the house down and build my own house on it. Instead, I moved my young family to a small town about 15 minutes from where I grew up. I still get the country feel and the connection with the landscape I longed for, even though it's not exactly the same, and we have a new-build house.
I guess I did ok.
Somebody ban this guy
You get a pass. That's a legit reason
A man of culture
I could get behind sandals. I had back issues for years and sometimes the only thing that helped when I was in the kitchen were slippers with a good rubber sole. Even then it kind of felt like kissing your sister - kinda good, but the good didn't out weigh the moral shame
This is exactly it. I'm mostly in the sock camp, and only wear slippers at my computer in the basement.
Bare feet is somehow almost as bad as shoes, the only caveat is if you show up in sandals
What does this turn out to be again?
You don't lose socks - the dryer makes extras out for lint in an attempt to please its master
No deterrent when you're butt ugly - system works as intended
