That make me happy.  I hope you all manage to have a decent day. @kbois i am very sorry and it does suck. it is awful not being where you know you should, need and want to be at times like this. Hold on to the ones you can. xo

 

Because of how my life was, and how i am now, i don't have a lot of friends in real life. So i want you all to know this:

 

 
Being your friend - and the rest of you as well - is easy and natural 
Have a great day DiCers! 

PS: I just witnessed the bunny hop-running around the backyard. Adorbs!

good morning Sirs and friends

a reminder

[rickproehl]

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

just wanted to stop in and say Good Afternoon.

i think of us as all as a family we are not related by birth but thanks to tim and DiC we have all found our way here. We all care about each other during good and bad times. so take care of yourself and know we are here for you. 

Take care my friends.

My circle of friends in "real life" is extremely small. I've never been comfortable in many social settings. The mere fact that I can be more of who I really am within this forum is important to me. There's an acceptance that I'm not sure I could get elsewhere. 

Thank you all for being a part of this circle of friends who are really more like an extended family (complete with crazy aunts and uncles, weird cousins and the oddball sibling!) I wouldn't want it any other way!

I wanna be the uncle that tells super scary stories to all his nephews and nieces, then sends them home.

If I've not earned a hard, disapproving glare the next time we meet ... well, I'm not doing it right.

Don't forget to add lots of sugar before sending them home. I'm picturing you as Stephen King meets Willy Wonka🤣🤣

Here's your disapproving stare 😠

Me? I'll be the oddball sibling who throws down the gauntlet of crazy. Sure beats the cat lady hoarder aunt.

[Kitt]

You just have to put up with batty old Aunt Kitt!  I think I am the oldest of the bunch at 60 anyway!

[Reader1810]

And, I’m the fun aunt who gets down on the floor with the kids and plays kids game.
 

True story: when my nephew was four (I was forty at the time) he asked me if I lived with an adult.  
 

Of course, I said yes, I did...

Spoiler

My cat

So well said @kbois. I think that people often confuse acquaintances for friends. I've always felt that if I could count my friends on one hand, I was doing good.

So then you would be known as Uncle Scary?  No , just no @Wayne Gray. LOL

You must supplement the sugar with generous amounts of caffeinated soft drinks for the full effect and to maximize irritation to your sibling(s).

And toys that make unspeakable amounts of noise

That run on "C" cell sized batteries, because NOBODY keeps those in their kitchen drawer, so someone will have to go to the store.  LOL

[Starrynight22]

On a slightly gross note, my brother (fun uncle!) learned many summer's ago why it's a bad idea to feed an 8 yr old (the nephew) a whole bag of cheese poofs, beef jerky and unlimited Hawaiian punch instead of actual food. His backseat learned too.

My sister in law learned not to set out tons of Easter candy the hard, somewhat projectile way. And yes, she was the fun aunt to my kids and I was the fun aunt to hers (I let her kids eat raw cookie dough)

[Starrynight22]

I don't have any nieces or nephews so I will not get to be a fun aunt.  

 

But I'm totally the black sheep of a cousin

My brother was known to patrol the isles at the toy store trying toys to judge the annoying noise level.

The same PIA bro would put batteries in or wrap a set as a secondary gift so the annoyance could begin immediately. 

 

Feel better soon Rick.

good night all
the sun is starting to shine brighter, and the world seems less frantic
i'm hoping to be back here more often now

[Mikiesboy]

The comments on this page made me laugh this morning.  Have a nice Wednesday all!!!

I do that with my godson and goddaughter's kids. I do get the looks but they are used to it, I did the same thing with them when they were young. Also, I'm one of those people who can't lose a game on purpose. I make sure the parents and kids understand it before we start to play. I don't care if it's Chutes and Ladders or chess, they have to beat me if they want to win.

Good Afternoon all, hope everyone is having a good week.

Good News as expected hubby's covid test came back negative.

I'm slowly starting to feel better but may need a second course of antibiotics owing to my health condition.

Otherwise all is reasonably well here. Everyone take care and have a good day.
