 Is naming your daughter based on a current TikTok trend a bad idea? Naming a child after a TV show character is a slippery slope too. (Some names are trademarked)

FYI - My daughter is far from "demure" so the strong name we chose was appropriate.

Since I don't use TikTok would someone tell me WTF a "demure" girls name is?

 A small white tailed rabbit was sitting by my car as I left. This particular rabbit seems to be hanging around our neighbors front yard a lot.

 Guess I'll be smoking in the boys room...

The sign above the gym in our local middle school. They updated everything but the signs.

Back in "my day" we smoked in the senior parking lot, right and left handed cigarettes. ๐Ÿ˜‰

 Our dryer stopped spinning today. I took it apart and found the belt broken. Luckily my local hardware store had one of $10 and I had it going again in about 30 minutes. There's something very satisfying about fixing things yourself, for a good price too.

 Hello friends, how's it going? It's been a long day here, a party earlier and now my daughter has a friend over. My nerves are frazzled and burned out from too much everything. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ I've got a big joint sitting in my garage waiting for everyone to leave. That should calm my nerves and help me sleep.

I'll be out around 9 if anyone is interested in joining me.

Have a wonderful evening everyone! ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ™‚

 The Penguin, our neighborhood stray tuxedo made his Caturday appearance. I put a handful of food by my mailbox to coax him to my yard. I still aspire to be the fanciest man in Arnold with three tuxedo cats.

 @30446797
I'm really starting to hate all these subscription services. We're actually thinking about canceling more streaming services. I read an article yesterday saying Netflix is already contemplating a big price increase once they reach an agreement with the actors and get back to work. I assume the rest will follow suit. There's just not enough good content worth paying for at this point.

I want a student loan annulment. Let's just pretend this... 
 @30446797
That would be great but I'd like free healthcare first. I don't have any student loans, I already paid them off. I do pay $12k a year for insurance plus another $10k out of pocket on medical not covered. My wife has federal student loans and I think even she would prefer free healthcare first. She has an ivy league education so those are ivy level loans too.

Just my opinion.

I guess I can only base it off of my own experience. Several YouTubers I listen to do the round about speak on YT then say anything and everything on their podcast. So I've started just listening to the podcast.

Unless people are removing clothes or performing lewd acts I don't see how vlogging about your life can be pornographic. Maybe people should change platforms. YouTube makes money off them too.

It was a special #Mondog for us!

We were eating dinner when my wife saw her run by and I was out the door before she finished the sentence. A beautiful brindle pittie named Daisy, she came right in the backyard and allowed me to inspect her collar. Extremely chill and friendly doggo, my three were like cool, another one.

Have a great evening Jette! 
 We just helped a lost dog find its way home. Feels very rewarding. That's my Mondog.

I'm not sure what she'll be able to do in less than 2 years. I don't see any first term Congress person or senator accomplish much. You have to spend time in the swamp to build alliances and political capital before you're relevant.

I can't wait to see though, maybe she'll change everything. John Fetterman couldn't get the dress code changed so I won't be holding my breath.
