Doctor Who, Ted Lasso, ATLA, Firefly, and Bob's Burgers are at the top of my list.

That's amazing, I have the same combination for my luggage!

Social skills are just that, they're skills. That means they can be learned and improved, and also that they can be lost with disuse. Helping him practice talking can develop these skills.

Last night, we had a huge thunderstorm. It was the kind that shakes the windows and knocks out the power for a bit. My poor pup hid in the bathroom, shivering in the dark. He was very happy when the storm passed.

People: my husband, kids, and bestie make the top, along with other more casual friendships with people I enjoy.

Places: I personally think there's nothing better than being in a cozy spot in an unfamiliar place. I have a core memory of drinking coffee in a tiny town in Banaue, Philippines as fog crept in over the mountains.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks about 5 years ago and it was very difficult. For me, I had a lot of physical pain from an incomplete D&C, which despite helping me keep my mind occupied I wouldn't wish on anyone. To help with the emotional pain, it helped to have cathartic cries. I listened to the saddest musicals I liked and just let myself cry. It was useful for me to cry for a different reason than the loss, but everyone is different.

For Christmas, I bought an angel ornament to remember the baby had lost. There are other ways to memorialize the baby, such as having a burial, or setting aside an object in honor of the baby. It all depends on what works best for you and your wife. Some people don't want to remember and would rather move on while others keep it as a permanent reminder.

For you and your wife, try to give each other other space to grieve while making sure you still check in on each other and support one another. Miscarriages are a lot more frequent than you may think unless you have one (about 25% of pregnancies) but they are still difficult. As with most grief, just take one day at a time.

My husband makes the best ramen, with pork, fried eggs, green onions, oils and sauces, etc. I'm never too full to say no if he offers to make some for me too.

I know I've spent too much time in Asia when I see nothing wrong with the picture and needed to go to the comments to find out why. I still don't get it.

The last time I used Airbnb, we rented 2 rooms in a guy's house for a few days. At first, the guy seemed okay, only a minor reminder about leaving dishes out. I left a fairly positive review, but when it came time for his review of us he implied we were racist for not keeping eye contact and conversation with his roommate. I never saw the roommate, and my husband is the kind of introvert who doesn't initiate conversations, especially when alone. It was ridiculous. We were also told that we had access to the rooms, bathroom, and kitchen and not to go into any other part of the house.

I'll stick with hotels.

I think you found the line.

If the ticks didn't get me, my allergies would.

That's why I love the times when you can feel the weight of his character in rare episodes where he isn't treated as comic relief. They introduce us to the hidden depth of his character in the pilot episode when he solemnly puts on his warpaint, knowing he's likely not going to survive. He is immediately dispatched in hilarious fashion, of course, but he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself for his tribe.
