My kid had an end of year school event (gradeschool) where they all came up with various businesses. He came up with the idea on his own, but it was basically one player beer pong. So we made it a carnival game. It was a hit. Kids liked it as it was fun and I have known enough carnies (idk why) that I could make it a deceptively challenging, grownups laughed as it was beer pong so stopped to spend their tickets.

Nice time all around, exhausting though as it's real hard to fit in at family oriented wholesome events sometimes. I am fairly introverted but have to not be pretty often and it's a rough hoop to jump through, then making sure whatever shit comes out of my mouth is audience appropriate.

I'm in the get together business, and though mostly retired, still have had a few grad parties of late. Last night's crew were high school grads. Other than one of the mamma's bringing me a plate, and the head mamma coming in at the end, I stayed in the office and didn't have to mingle.

A school teacher asked her students to make a sentence containing the expression, "I presume ..".One little girl held up her hand and said: "Yesterday, my mother hand washed the dinner dishes, and I presumed that the dishwasher was broken."
"Very good," said the teacher.Another one said: "This morning, my father drove the Volkswagen out of the garage. I presume that the BMW wouldn't start.""That's excellent," says the teacher.
Little Johnny, at the back of the classroom, gets up and says: "Yesterday, I saw grandpa leave the house with a newspaper under his arm and headed for the bush. I presume that.......
The teacher interrupted him and said, "I stopped you because you have no idea what your grandfather was going to do, so you can't presume anything.
Johnny says, "Please, Teacher, let me finish my sentence."
The teacher says, "Very well. Continue."
"As I was saying, I saw my grandpa heading for the bush with a newspaper under his arm. I presume he was going for a shit because he can't read."
The Teacher is still undergoing counselling.

My kid keeps shouting deez nutz jokes at people. Makes me laugh a bunch, trying to picture myself shouting deez nutz at my grandma's is very funny.

I was scrolling thru some Irish tunes & this one came up.

Now, you have to see/understand that the West of Ireland, Galway, Connemara especially (my true home :) ) has a very unique brough, one that the others in Ireland can hardly understand either.

Imagine someone mixing up a bit of blow with some nice crystal and then starting a discussion after a pint or 2. & a few lines?

Nope, that's when their straight :)

My 1st time in Ireland was in 1963 when I was 7 & when I arrived at one of two Coyne's homesteads (Yup, both my parents are Coyne :) )

I was greeted by my kith & kin & couldn't understand a fucking word they were saying for a long time ) (years:) )

I still have to say repeat please to my cousins when we talk.

Anyway, this a West Galway accent & fiddle :)

(start tapping :) )

Wanna get or be happy? Depressed? The learn to meditate and do it regularly, there are many places to learn online and even a little can help a lot, if done regularly, like any other fitness program, ya got to be regular, but will build strength and endurance over time. Everything we do in life to to be happy, it has no ulterior motive and nothing external is required, it is merely an outlook and way of being. Unlike pleasure it sticks around and bounces back after adversity, it's basically mental physical fitness. an exercise and works the same way, today it is called mindfulness. Now happiness can be more of a life choice and this is empowering.

There is a reason why the Trumpers are both unhappy and snowflakes, the same one as why they are also assholes.

Drugs deal in pleasure and that is different than happiness, but often confused for it, pleasure is ephemeral and most often requires an external source. There's' a little bit more than exercise to it and the difference between pleasure and happiness is one of the first things you learn, it deals directly with both.
