When we were young, my Daddy would play "bear" with us. He would lay on the floor and all 3 of us kids would try to pin one of his arms to the floor. We were never successful. He would growl and tickle us. I remember this as being great fun and asking to play this silly game on a regular basis.

We played a game called "I'm having a party and you can't come in!" My dad would take a sheet hide underneath it while pinning as much of the sides as he could, all the while saying what a great party he was having. Anyone on the outside would try to find a loose edge and climb in, not letting anyone else in. You'd have to be careful though, sometimes dad would purposefully "gas" us and then it was a mad scramble to escape the sheet!

Our French/Italian culture is very much the same here in NOLA everybody kisses everybody hello and good by. We never forced DD to do this, but it is very common here even among friends. With men it is often father and son who continue to kiss hello and good by, until the father passes away. We all tell each other we love each other, even close friends.

That game was called turtle in our family, the first to stick their head out of the sheet was the turtle.

I'm not at all shy now, but as a child I had crippling shyness so meeting strangers was horrible. Being able to avoid hugging was a relief. I was so shy I couldn't ask a sales associate where the restroom was. Once, when I was at the beauty salon I was too scared to tell the beautician that she had accidently pinned my ear with a hair clip even though it was hurting me. Luckily, I got over it in high school.

My dad could be pretty evil.
Once he farted so bad, the dog got up, gave him a dirty look, and left the room.
Another time we were on a long road trip, he locked the windows and let one rip, we nearly died. We were all scrabbling at the windows, all the while he was laughing hysterically.

That was prolly the biggest issue my wife had with my Italian family when she moved down here. And every stranger calling her honey or hun in stores and stuff. Like have a good day honey. She's used to it now

Yes, just the attorney.

Some places if the realtor was involved and the property was sold within six months of the end of the listing, the realtor gets their commission... I had to wait six months when I bought my uncle's property and the realtor was investigating to see if they could get the commission

The agent was the wife who was having the baby, so it would have worked out anyway.

So I set my shipped duck eggs Thursday. I don’t have high hopes for them as they were not packed vert well and the air cells looked a bit scrambled. How soon should I be able to see development? I admit I’ve never done early candling on any of my other eggs, I’ve always waited till day ten but I’m too anxious with these ducks
