Oh god the grates in pools! A local rec centre has a wave pool and there's this wall long grate protecting swimmers from the wave machine. The grate is tall as I am and is in deep water, it honestly still scares me.

As an adult that's honestly funny, but I could see myself also having the same fear.

Jesus christ. The nerve of some people.

In Canada, No Name Brand. All the products are in non eye-catching packaging, and are quite cheap. They are quite popular with the college and university housing crowds.

TIl us North Americans apparently are the only ones with this problem...

A park set in a old-growth forest with the rides built around the trees. Shaded and wild feeling. Waterslides and rapids would be extremely fun.

Okay that's way more interesting, why would a company block a whole country??

Roasted or fried chicken. Something about the strong smell just whips my brain into anger and disgust. I can't think, talk or smile once I smell it. Especially in a enclosed space.

Oh ew. That's far from true. If you accidentally slam your junk on a hard surface you aren't going to be happy. I've done that a few times while riding a horse. Shit can hurt bad.

 

I've got a father-in-law who is very inconsistent with his moods and body cues. For one day he will laugh at any joke you tell him, and the next he will shout at you for a perceived slight from hours ago and then give you the cold shoulder. He's made me cry from his attitude shifts.

My wife can't get through to him without a fight happening.
His wife (my mother-in-law) is calm and understandable, but is a pushover for him.

Have any of you navigated hard relations with an in-law? Do you have any tips?

Ya I would never be able to reclaim it for myself. For my whole life it was used only as a strong negative.

It's the same for my wife and queer. It's a word she can't use to describe herself without thinking of old mystery books. "Well that's quite queer"
