Hello, both of my parents were poetry professors so I grew up thinking 50% of the people in the world were gay as we would have lots of gay friends over the house constantly. My adopted uncle and my first babysitter, yes, we dressed the Hulk up and drag, and he was glamorous, is just one of the many important figures in my life, as well as the founders of bear magazine, and the bear movement who were wonderful family friends and had the most hilarious African gray parrot. Well, not at all politically correct nowadays my mom in the 70s and 80s was a self proclaimed fag hag.

I also knew a lot of famous lesbian writers growing up. Including some of my dad’s best friends. So a writer, whose name I won’t mention to protect her, always said there’s two types of lesbians: cat, and dog lesbians and they generally don’t like each other. I for one get along excellently with dog lesbians despite being a straight guy who really doesn’t like the outdoors that much. And most dog lesbians I know are not too fond of cat lesbians from what I heard growing up. One of my favorite auntie said she had a break up with a girl because she was a cat lesbian. I guess I’ve only known a few cat lesbians but they all seemed cool . My wonderful therapist of five years is a lesbian ( Attn: middle-aged lesbians in South Florida. Let me know if you’re interested because it would make me so happy if I could hook her up with a girlfriend. She is super intelligent, she plays the harp, she does sandbox therapy and is one of my favorite people in the world ) and she has a cat and a dog so I was talking about this with her the other day and she said the only reason she got the cat was because of her dog and that she was definitely a dog lesbian. Now I am generation X and an older fellow so I don’t know what things are like nowadays but is this still a thing? Or is it not a thing? Forgive my hetero male ass for possibly being stupid here but growing up this is what all my lesbian friends said, and I’m wondering if it’s actually a thing ?. Or maybe times of advanced and now we have like chinchilla lesbians or something. That actually sounds really cool.

It was a decent movie and definitely really fun to watch the big screen. I really think Elliot Paige and Tom Holland should’ve switched roles though, that’s just because I think Paige is a much better actor, and I have a hard time seeing Holland there’s anything but boy band Spider-Man

. Also, I get the whole Nolan humanity is the real monster thing, but the monsters, the mythology, and the gods just weren’t in the movie nearly enough. It seemed like a typical Nolan Humans are the real monsters movie, while missing the magic of ancient Greece. The only real impact of the gods we got is was everyone claiming how moral Zeus was when we all know that’s far from the truth and a weepy eyed Athena popping in and out to grasp at the heart strings feebly. Circe felt like Temu Circe ( though the animal transformations were brilliant. Remind me much of American werewolf in London). Not to mention the cyclops, while looking absolutely amazing had all his dialogue taken away, which was one of the best sub-parts of the story. The Hydra was much like Boba Fett in the remake of Star Wars he like was on screen for a second and I was like all right I’m out. They only paid me a couple bucks. Apollo’s golden calf? I think that was some nearby farmer’s golden calf. I mean, I get trying to make a more gritty realistic Ancient Greece. But in a tale filled with gods and monsters, they seem very much swept under the rug special effects aside
You can do dark and gritty, but still keep the magic - Terry Gilliam is a master of this.

Finally the dog they build up the dog a lot and of course in the book the dog is a pretty big scene but basically Odysseus shows up and the dog’s like all right cool I’m out and only served as a cheap plot device so that Odysseus’s son could figure out who he was, with none of the emotion we get in the book. I did enjoy the movie, but he really lost all the magic and mythical beauty that makes the original tale good and he done that dog dirty

Hey, no reason to share this except might as well. I realize I am fortunate compared with lots of folks on here. My ex-wife moved back to her home country so I have my kids full-time and I have my house. Today was the first time I’ve had a birthday, 52 years old, since I’ve been a single dad unfortunately we were super busy all day doing back to school shopping and then going to an open house at high school, which they planned very poorly so a 15 minute drive there and back turned into an hour and a half drive. I had to get dinner at Wawa since I didn’t have time to cook because I’m a type one diabetic for 49 years. Still it was a great birthday continued watching the TV show Legion with my older son and had a great talk with my younger son. But most sorts it wasn’t an amazing birthday since I didn’t get Pres and my friends were out of town. Ever since my wife left a month and a half ago I’ve just been focusing on spoiling my kids for a month while we heal. They’ve been great and volunteering to pitch in more and more. So actually, it was a pretty decent birthday. I think we’re gonna go out somewhere nice to eat tomorrow because my dude’s demanding it. It’s only been a little bit and I’m still kind of emotionally hurt, but I kept my mouth shut during the divorce and just gathered evidence for a year and walked away with my kids my house and no alimony but some miracle and my skills and those of my Lawyer. Happy birthday, I guess. The thing that felt best to me was just being an awesome dad. My dudes rock and despite my nice job title and advanced degrees they’re the best thing I ever did. Sleeping in bed with my dog tonight and she’s snoring. Rock on all your single dads.
I know a lot of you have it tougher than me in some ways. But then again comparing bad things never makes a good thing

We all know the famous tell them it takes double or triple the time so you can get it done quickly line. But I’m just wondering if there is any specific episodes where they say it’ll take 10 hours to fix and it really does take 10 hours to fix?

I mean, I only took one film class in college in the 90s but by far the colors, the framing, transitions and the shapes on Legion just kind of blow my mind. Fargo is near equally good and so was the watchmen series as a close third. The way I remember growing up and thinking some of the framing in the old original Perry. Mason was actually pretty good.

Let me start by saying I only have been divorced about a month. It was a rough divorce, but in the end, after much holding of my mouth and collecting evidence, things went more way than I thought. I know this is a single dad’s forum, but I see a lot of post of people talking about how to deal with their ex and that is completely understandable. I understand I am very lucky and played my hand the best I could so that my ex just went back to her home country so I don’t really have to deal with her or see her. I understand that for people who do have shared custody and have to deal with their exes this can be a big problem.

I hope I’m not sounding too selfish here, but I think if we had like forum tags for discussions about single parenting versus discussions about dealing with your ex, and even situations that they overlap that might be very helpful for some of us. Again, no offense meant against any of my fellow dads as I know this is a tough time, I had an extremely tough year in my drawn out year long divorce, I also realize that that a year long divorce isn’t as bad as it could’ve been and being a single Dad well very rewarding at times isn’t always easy. I am just suggesting a better way to organize posts with tags/flair.

Thank you for your time and keep on dading on dad‘s.

Hello all I played the game very briefly back when it first released but now I’m an old guy and mainly played on my iPad(I will probably get down voted for saying I play on my iPad but oh well). I am a pretty casual two hours at most the night guy and mainly play solo so I’m looking for a ways to build up my hero teams and to get those excellent support skills paragon has. I’m still in the nightfall mission and I plan on completing that though I seem to have lost where to go next and unfortunately, since I can’t see what quest I’ve already done that’s a bit tough. Looking for any sort of advice for making the game fun to explore now that I’ve just kind of hit the beginning of the game so to speak. Been playing MMORPG since eq1 if that’s at all relevant.

Full-time single Dad here and I was annoyed. I had to order more soap yet again, but then I realized it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Please laugh at me with me.
