We do. I see a therapist once weekly by video teleconference.
I was just kind of joking with the time and cost comparison of going to jail vs. therapy because I did have a lot of problems which resulted in violence and jail, probation, and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, restitution, elimination from whole sectors of industries, etc.
I kinda blew straight past “lets talk about this” and directly to “put him in a cage” early on.
In MS and HS, I was one of the smallest ppl but no one ever dared mess with me.
Funny story: we were on a class camping trip. I had gone to sleep but some of the other girls in a neighboring tent kept their lamps on. I was pissed so I yelled for them to shut off their lamps.
Apparently the teachers got scared too and shut off their lamps instead of discipline me to stop yelling lol 
Best child name I have seen (school my mum works at) is and I kid you not: Armageddon.
I don’t know if it’s even weirder that we’re in Germany or not.
Great one was also “Sean”. Nothing weird per se if you pronounce it English but the parents in question apparently have only seen that name written. Resulting in an epic exchange between the parents asking the kindergarten staff their little Se-An (like the car company) was ready and the confused staff answering they have no kid by that name. When the little guy turned up, the staff asked “wait, you meant Sean?!”
Okay that second one isn’t as funny written out but if I told you vocally, it would be quite funny.
“These are my children: Plague, Blight, Bain, and Pestilence. Kids, say hi to my friend, Joe.”
My buddy used to do school pictures so he had papers with all the students and teachers full legal names. He was always sending me pictures. I have a TON that would blow your mind but here are a few legit first names:
Broccoli
Honesti
Isis
Passion (their last name makes this so great also)
Onree
A’miracle
Icebirk
I could go on and on. He sends me pictures of the actual sheet so I know he’s not messing with me
What the hell? Lol
Isis is the name of the egyptian “queen of gods” so to speak.
It would be a nice name… if it wasn’t appropriated by bloody terrorists
I gave my little bro the nickname “omi”. He took it and still lets me call him that. I later learned that “omi” is a term of endearment for grandmothers in Poland… 
We used to have a cleaning company called ISIS. The cleaners had to stop wearing uniform when customers started commenting.
I met a woman named this but it was before the group ISIS was making headlines. I actually kinda like it but it’s been ruined now.
This is what we’ve always called one of my grandmas. I think the formal German word is Großmutter, the informal word is Oma, and somehow we got Omi. I don’t know if that’s because it’s how I pronounced it as a child or if it varies by region (this is from when we lived in Germany), but it’s stuck for a couple decades now.
My cousin has a sister named Precious. I’ve known a couple of Africans named Blessing, Godbless, and Sincere. I’ve always like those.
My son has a two-word first name (and no middle name) that’s seven syllables long. I’m sure most reactions will be, “That’s dumb” haha but it’s in a different language and has an important history/meaning behind it. Main problem is that due to it being a different language, English speakers never pronounce it right, like when we get called for our turn at the doctor’s office.
Same for Germany.
Exactly right.
Mutter - Mama - Mami
Vater - Papa - Papi
Großvater - Opa - Opi
Großmutter - Oma - Omi
I’d it just me, or is “mama” universal
Speaking of ‘universal’:
because english
Doesn’t that mean you have a cousin named Precious?
I don’t consider it so. He was adopted and it’s his half sister, so there’s really no relation between her and I.
This is why I named the pet snake I had Isis before that other group ruined it for everyone.
My mom works at a community college and has had some weird names:
Vagina (not kidding, mom was not a native English speaker heard the Dr mention the word in labor and decided it was beautiful)
Lemonjello
My wife taught preK in a diverse area and the best name she ever had was a kid named Usnavy (because that was printed on the first boat the mom saw entering the country).
Also:
Barret (after the rifle manufacturer, but this one is kind of cool)
I feel that. A year ago, a man was walking on a stepmill, and he had the thickest, densest leg muscles I’ve ever seen, including his Achilles tendon. He had the legs of a freakin’ pack mule; I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a professional endurance athlete or mountaineer or similar.
Yes, exactly right! I appreciate when people have traits demonstrating skill at something I value.
It’s always interesting what each person values and notices in others. I’ve found what I notice and am attracted to in a woman has changed with time. In my 20s, I was much more cerebral and couldn’t care less whether a woman lifted or not. These days, I appreciate a woman who stays active in ways I can relate to and whose physique demonstrates her activity level and interests.
The fact you don’t care at all whether a man lifts might be a function of your age, current goals, and world perspective. Of course, you may also not give a plug nickel about a man’s athletic inclinations 
I see. I could imagine that being the case for a lot of people.
Yeah, that makes sense. Like I said, I think it would not be good in the long run if a potential partner were not active in some way. It’s very important to me and most people who post on this forum.
It would definitely be nice to bond over that hobby! Yet I am careful to not make a laundry list of preferences. I have one or two non-negotiables. Still, I also probably don’t have good ideas of what I want because I admittedly have only been in one relationship in my life, which didn’t last very long. Reading the various experiences from the posters on this forum enlightens me.
I wouldn’t dare mess with a lady from China either. Even the Chinese locals who grew up here wouldn’t lol.
But I just wanna say your insults in Mandarin suck lol. What is *“sha bi”? It sounds more like an affectionate term than an insult lol. Like when the Cantonese dudes in HK simply call infants BB’s (bibi) because they’re a bunch of unpredictable loud mouths who insist on doing absurd things like redundantly modifying certain English words like **“qualifications” and incorporating them into gang vernacular.
*Mandarin: “sha bi” = “dumbass”
**Cantonese: **lei yao meh “quali” =
“What are your qualifications as in 'who’s backing you? or 'how senior are you amongst the ranks?”" (@punnyguy lol)
The Fujian immigrant labourer blood in us over here make us go straight from “fuck” to “how rancid one’s mother’s c***t” is" over here lol. @whang
I confess I like to clap when a plane lands. I feel like a moron, but it really gets my wife, so it’s worth it.
