EDIT: Yeah, with June being Father's Day and my birthday, people cannot resist sending me mugs or T-shirts. In the last 2 weeks I've thrown out over 60(!!) mugs. And they STILL give them to me. this article did a so-so job of it, but really:
- Take me out to dinner or see a movie with me
- Do the chores and don't ask me for anything so I can have some free time
- Pay attention to what I *do* buy and get me a gift card or somethingThe whole, "We're going to ignore your desperate pleas and keep shipping you crap," has got to stop.
What Freehold heard
I want more World's Greatest Lover mugs and World's Daddest Dad shirts!

I do yard work when naked so if I heard the exact opposite of what was said, it's because the mower was going.

About fifteen years ago, we rented the upper floor of a converted Victorian. Our downstairs neighbor was a divorced teamster with a similar attitude toward crap, and four adult children who rarely visited but sent gift baskets full of aftershave, mugs, and random tchotchkes. One weekend, he had a massive yard sale in front of our house, and over a dozen of these baskets were lined up on tables. It happened to be his birthday. Which we didn't know until one of his children pulled up with yet another basket in hand. He took the basket from his daughter, thanked her politely, then set it meaningfully on one of the tables. She drove off. I never saw her come around again.

I got the alley finished by 1:00. Then I had a shower, made coffee, picked all the burrs out of my flannel shirts from yesterday and today (they get everywhere... I had them in my hair, too), talked to the Ersatz Russian for an hour (there are few people I will tolerate phone conversations with, but he is one of them), and started laundry.
Tomorrow morning, I'm meeting an old college friend for coffee and empanadas at an Argentinian bakery, and then I'm going to go make use of a spa certificate I got for teacher appreciation week.

OK. Impus Major's grasp of flat grading is a little bit alarming:
I currently have an 87% in Spanish, and the final is worth 20% of my overall grade. So even if I get 100%, I'll only be at 89.6%, so I can't get an 'A'.
On the other hand, I only have to get 37% to keep a B-.
So yeah, I'm not going to be studying tonight.
Boy had BETTER get an A in math!

Last year for Father's Day my kids gave me a penny taped to a banana with a paper plate on which was scrawled, "We love you Dab!" in crayon.
I was delighted.
But I did throw out everything except the banana, which I ate.
You threw a penny? Now we know why you are not a real millionaire!

So, the down side of my mass household purge:
I just dumped an entire garbage bag of clothing off at the clothing drop-off, and an entire trunkload of books off at the library.
And now I am certain that the kids will swing by the thrift shop on their way home one day and buy back the clothes, then go to the library's book sale and buy back the books...

I think that ocean might be more like a boring, very scrupulous bureaucratic custom officer who insist on going through all the proper procedures taking tons of time, except for a short bouts of anger when he kicks and bashes everyone around, abusing his position of power.

Wow, child labor laws in Wisconsin are something.
Apparently, anyone 11 or older can get a work permit.

We're playing a starfinder game this sunday, because all our dads hate fathers day and rather forget the day exists. So we are obliging by not coming over/getting them things.
My brothers went the other way with it.
I tend to call it a Father's Day cold war between them, but really, they aren't that subtle.
We have 6 fire alarms in the house.
3 of them go off at least once a month, typically in the middle of the night. A fourth goes off on hot days when we open the windows. This means we pretty much have a fire alarm go off in our house every single week.
I understand that false positives are better than false negatives, but considering that fully half of our fire alarms now spend their existences stuffed in drawers to shut them up and avoid false alarms, I think the industry just might have gone overboard in the false positive direction.
