Monistat powder gel for the chafing. Not very manly, but highly effective.

💯 on the STFU move when Crazy Uncle X goes all QAnon at the table. You are unlikely to change his opinion about anything and all that drama isn’t good for the digestion. If it gets too rough and you feel like you’re gonna let fly, there’s a few words that will pretty much stop anything in its tracks. “Excuse me, I gotta pee.” Exit stage right.

Corey, some mornings I wake up just feeling like I need to read Corey’s essay first thing. I don’t exactly know why but I do. Once read I feel better about starting my day. It doesn’t matter if you’re writing about something I hate to hear, it still makes me feel more equipped for the day. I always keep a spare unread Corey essay in case I need a hit during the day,if you must know. Nothing makes me giggle like you. You help me keep a more balanced perspective.

Spring used to be my favorite, but our Fall (live in FL so our Fall is really Christmas through Winter. Is now my favorite. I love opening the windows & hearing kids yelling, birds chirping & dogs barking. Of course, I still have the AC on but looking forward to our Fall in a month or so...

Please be safe & continue to spread your words of wisdom. You have a kind soul & will make a great father. You say you don’t know if you believe in the Lord in this essay but I have to tell you. You behave like a Christian more than many of the Christians I know. It’s just who you are.

Again, thank you, Corey!

No one is gonna invite me to any family function. And if they did i wouldnt go. Snow Hill NC would be a smoking crater from the fallout of if I did. Theyd have to rename the town after a new massacre. (Side history note. Its named after murdering natives yay. Fun.) I haven't been to a real Thanksgiving dinner in over a decade. It's just another day to me like all holidays. So I eat cinnamon all year. #rebelwithasummercinnamonbun
