I feel your pain. Hopefully when she gets back she'll be better able to help with things. My wife and I have had to do similar things where one of us takes a vacation, just so we can better help afterwards. You got this!

And he did it.

Thanks and same to you.

The ability to relax. I have a special needs child who constantly screams at us. We have no respite because none of our relatives are willing to deal with him anymore. All of his therapies and medical bills have nearly bankrupt me. My wife is suffering from PTSD because of it. We are on every waiting list for state resources but so far nothing.

Even as I tried to write this comment, I had to stop what I was doing because my wife went to the bathroom, and my son decided to yell at her because she left a pot on the stove.

I am completely incapable of relaxing anymore. If I do get a chance I'll just be racked with intrusive thoughts. Like last night I was watching Stranger Things and when I saw a kid on there with braces, all I could think was, "I need to get my son braces. But since he can't handle someone touching his face, it is going to be a nightmare. He's 13 and I still have to monitor his teethbrushing, who knows how much it will suck with braces. It will also be way more expensive because we'll have to sedate him, for every appointment" Then I spiral down from there. This is just one small example.

I'm in therapy and on meds for it. And so is my wife. I wish I lived in a state with legal marijuana because it's the only thing I've found that will actually help me relax. At this point we are actually considering selling our house, so we can afford to send him to a boarding school that is designed for kids like him. And maybe then we can get some respite.

Same. I had the Hercules Gamesurround Muse sound card to go with it too.

Wait, so that means they stayed and watched it?

It sucked the first time music from my teen years made it on to the classic rock station. But it hurt hearing stuff from my 20s on there now.

Please come to Denton.

The first time these two specific identical twins will face each other in the NFL. Not the first time any identical twins will face each other.

The 90s. Cross your legs, gay! Wear a shirt with a loop on the back, gay! Express any emotions, gay!

I'm not the type that can watch the same movie or show over and over. This movie is one of the rare exceptions. I watch it at least 2-3 times a year.

It masterfully blends music, jokes, and action without a dull moment. It's amazing how they can make you laugh your ass off with dry humor while Aretha Franklin is belting out a Respect. Not to mention having Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, and Cab Callaway all perform. And of course the car chases. Oh man, nothing can top those car chases.
