Years ago I wrote a letter to my father expressing my appreciation of what he taught me and the traits I got from him. Next time I talked to my mom on the phone, she told me it made him cry. That made it all the more precious to me.
Do you thing parents should do 15 years prison for failing to secure a gun that their kid snuck out of the house and used to commit a school shooting??
I have direct knowledge that many Amazon sellers are simply drop shipping or selling Temu items at 3-10X markup. If I had time, I'd undercut them and still make a lot of travel money :)
What a great man, father husband you are. You a brilliant, full of humor and compassion for others. & you have many similarities to my husband. We have 3 sons and a daughter. Our 2 youngest are adopted following a family tragedy. Long story.
My husband was an emancipated minor who had incredible odds against him. His “Bio-dad” as he refers him wasn’t worthy of being called a father. Despite what he had to endure which I believe made him stronger, he accomplished amazing achievements. And poured his heart and soul into his kids. 2 are adults and doing quite well. Our daughter has been a shining example of what a father daughter relationship should be like. She is graduating and our youngest son is not far behind.
As for the father of the boy that got ahold of gun and shot & killed at his school, 15 years may be harsh. I believe the courts were sending a gun control message as well. But I ask: what kind of father was he? What did he teach his son about guns & safety? Did he provide the appropriate structure to teach his son how to properly manage anger? Or was his son a latch-key kid who’s dad didn’t have time for him on weekends. I believe there were parental mis steps here. Either way the dad is being punished on multiple ends of this tragedy.
My husband & I both grew up with guns in the house and were taught gun safety. My dad hunted as did my brothers, my husband & his grandfather. We had long guns hanging on the wall on a gun wrack that we as kids would never think of touching. How times have changed.
So you made me cry again. Happy tears though. Not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate and every fiber of my husband & father to our sons and daughter. We are blessed.
Prior to 1920, it was possible to send children through the US Postal service.
However, there were certain conditions that needed to be met. Firstly, the children had to weigh less than 50 pounds, and stamps were attached to their clothing as a form of payment. Surprisingly, it was often more cost-effective for individuals to send their children via mail rather than opting for train transportation. Interestingly, during the journey, the children would travel on a train, specifically in the mail car, where they were supervised and provided with nourishment by mail clerks. One remarkable example of this unconventional practice involved a distance of over 700 miles, from Florida to Virginia, covered with a mere 15 cents worth of stamps. https://qr.ae/psudEb

Kudos. I'm sure it meant a lot to him.
Few sons do that before it's too late. Once they have almost grown up sons, the lights turn on.
Yes - I think I was in my 40s when I sent that. Sometimes it just takes that long.
You really are a lovely man.
Thankyou. Best compliment ever, especially in a British accent.
Yet, without the Chinese bots running Temu, I'd be nothing 😀
He absolutely is! 💞🌞
Here's the flip side of fatherhood.

What!? I have something in my eye!
Love to you and your family.
Thank you. Same to you and yours.
🙏❤ beautiful
Temu made my husband cry when he ordered a bunch of stuff and everything came in miniature sizes which were completely unusable.
::Beware they may be the size of a business card::
🧐?
Wee little tools, flashlights and dollhouse floodlights
LOL. That's funny.
I order 1 first, almost always.
