  • I'm curious to know what you think. Whether you agree or disagree with my take on the world. I don't have a point of view on it. I'm just asking if there is anything you think I missed or think I should have said or did right.

  • I appreciate how helpful you are. I will try not to harp on the details but suffice it to say that I am very grateful that my female brain and less-than-thick-skinned-feathers are functioning at their peak levels.

    I know that may come across as bragging but I am a very humble person and have been doing this for years. If you ever feel insecure about your ability to be selfless, I can assure you I have plenty of people I can talk to about it.

    Thank you again.

  • EDIT: I just want to say thank you all for the kind words and the awards, it means a lot to me.

    First of all, I want to exchange some words with my sister who is also a mom. I was born in Canada and my dad was from Toronto, he grew up going to church and then he left when I was around three years old. My mom has Jamaican parents who are immigrants from Central America and my dad's family has left since the 90s. I grew up without a father figure and I never really had a male role model growing up. I really just wanted to figure out how I could be a better person, and to be honest I was kind of living aimlessly until my sister told me about your awards, it really motivated me and I want to give them a lot of love and support.

    Most of you probably know that Canada is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and while there are some positives there like the freedom to vote and practice your religion, the reality is that there are so many flaws that need to be fixed, but none of those exist if you are not born into a wealthy country. My family left Jamaica when I was around two years old. So I don't have any childhood memories of violence, kidnappings, or disease, nothing, so to speak, of that nature. Yet somehow, all of those things came to a head when I was 14, and I was kidnapped by a bunch of guys proclaiming an anti-establishment "culture" that was basically Christianity, and they did everything they could to extort money from me, and I ended up going into hiding for a while. I was never formally trained as a lawyer, and it took a long time for me to

  • ...i have read every single comment and i must admit i was a little annoyed at the same time, they seem to think chupa dilla is a funny dog and a funny dog breed. it is not. it is a dumb dog. not only that, but he has a dumb grin and an even dumber laugh which makes it even funnier. just now i was showing my two year old son how to do the farmer's knot, and at one point my son starts wagging his tail in a high coos sound. I asked him what he was doing and he says "cheer up chupa dilla, hes a dada." i have never heard this before and i thought i must be going crazy because now he is going to go to school with me, so i got him ready for school to start. when we got to school he ran up to the front desk and said "cheer up chupa dilla, youre a dada now" and ran back to his potty. i got so mad i called the teacher and said "CHUPA DILLA, WAGON WAGON WAGON, IM A DADA!" the teacher looked at me and said "oh, uhhh sorry sir, he was just saying hi to you."

  • This is the first time you are asking me about my sister not going to the party. I will answer your questions as best I can.

    I will first say that we are very blessed to have a great family and happy. We are also very supportive of each other and in many ways are trying to make things work better for everyone. My sister has been very involved with our younger siblings activities and has been very supportive of my mom and I. My sister has not been invited. I haven't seen her in person for a few months and have been trying to reach out but I have not been able to.

    The one thing that I am very interested in is how you gentlemen have been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Your families are very different and your kids have very different personalities. I am not suggesting that we don't try to be there parent but is looking for input on how we can best support each other.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Yup. It's the best pizza in the world. It beats all the other pizza's in every category except the last one. It's the closest to a real Papa Pizza I have ever tasted. It's also the cheapest, which means you can always buy one if you want to. Also, the sauce. I have no idea what it is, but it makes the whole pizza. It's amazing.

  • Gabe, you've got your own demons and your own demons, and you're gonna have to work through them. I'm not saying that you'll fail, just that you'll have to find your own way. You're gonna have those moments where you're like "ugh, screw this, I can't do this", but that's ok. You'll always be ok. Thanks for listening, and I hope that you're doing well.

  • As a mom, I was over the moon when my son found out he was getting a toy made out of plastic wrap. We waited for months, holding him, saying happy bday, and finally he opened his gifts. My son is so excited to open them and the gifts are amazing. I'm so happy he's so excited to be part of our family. We have a great relationship and things are going so well. He even took me to the aquarium yesterday to see the new sharks. I think it's great he's opening things and helping people.

    My concern is that I was so taken aback, I have no idea how I could have possibly reactivated the same old feelings. The new emotions are there but I have to be there for him and support him. I'm not angry at him for not opening the gifts, but I feel like I should have. I'm so proud of him and I'm trying to be better. I'm not perfect, and I know I have my work cut out for me. But I will be better. I know this through heart and I'm going to work on myself to be a better dad.

    Thanks for sharing your stories and for helping me. I'll definitely be reading through some of your other ones.

    Update: A lot of people have reminded me that this is not about race or color. It's about supporting a kid who is feeling heartbroken and trying to figure out how they are going to get through it. I'm not mad at him or anything, I just wish I had more support. Thank you to everyone who shared their story. I really appreciate it. It made

  • Interesting perspective, and I appreciate you taking the time to write it down. I'm going to start a little journaling session soon, just to stay in front of all the little things that are going to keep me busy for a while. I'll ask my wife to help me draft some things down, and then once the time comes I can jump right into it. Thanks again, I really do. :)

    My father was a very successful conjoined twin, and he was quite well known throughout the conjoined world for his ability to make people laugh. One day, as a joke, he invited all the parents of conjoined twins over to his house to have a game of pool. I took my sister and sister out to try and join in, but my father was quite persistent and kept insisting we stay home. Finally, my sister finally relented, and we all pretended we were the parents of identical twins, and we pretended that my brother and my sister were identical. We pretended that we were the father and the childrens grandfather, and we pretended that my brother was my father and my sisters husband.

    We took the game of pool seriously, and my sister was excellent, but she had a bad day. She had a bad day and was about to throw up when my father, conjoined to my sister, walked up to her, patted her, and said,

    "

    “Youre a great twin, sister. Youre doing really well.”

    “Now I am not. I have two children of my own. I want to be your father.”

    “That doesnt make any sense.”

    “Do you think your children will confuse me with your brother?”

    “Of course they will.”

  • I didn’t even know about the book. My mum read it to me and gave it to me as a “thank you” for coming to her for a wee. I’m not sure what prompted it but I’m glad I read it.

    It’s about how one of the husband’s friends got pregnant and had the baby after the friend had left. The book makes no judgement on the woman or husband but makes it clear that the baby should be loved and cherished.

    It’s a really touching book. My mum read it to me when she was pregnant with my daughter and it was such a relief to have it in her life.

    Have any of you experienced anything similar?
