I always leave this one blank or lie. It’s not the doctor’s business. If the kid gets into the firearms that’s on me for being an irresponsible owner.
Haven’t seen the child smoking question yet, just ones that ask if anyone in the house smokes.

They have to ask these questions because of the answers they get on occasion.
My wife will occasionally think herself an unfit parent until I point out some real neglect happening right in front of us. Haven’t seen a smoking 6 year old in person, but have online. We DID get to witness a bottle fed infant getting weened on Pepsi at Costco one time though.

Rot their teeth before they are even in, best way to avoid expensive braces later.

I started smoking at 12 and quit by 14, so it’s not too far off. Question just makes me laugh.
I have safes. The gun is either on the adult’s person or in a safe. Unless the kids get into safe cracking I should be good. That was non negotiable for me because my buddies and I used to sneak 22lr’s out of the house to go shoot in the woods as kids.
I don’t even care if a thief gets in the safe when we’re not home and takes the guns. We have insurance. Their entire reason for existing in my house is to keep the kids away from them.
The questions about lead paint or lead in the water always make me sad. Some kid somewhere is getting lifelong brain damage because a homeowner/landlord didn’t have the sense to remediate that stuff.

Ditto. Also, I don’t really want my kid to know I have guns until he seems ready to be taught how to use them safely and properly.

Was at a “relatives” house (wife’s redneck uncles new family that he married into) and a toddler almost grabs my Monster, and I snatch it up like “WOAH, don’t want him to get that!” And the toddlers mom is like “why, there’s Mountain Dew in his Sippy cup”

I’m going to pass that off as a joke, simply because i refuse to believe people are that dumb.
Wish I could do the same, but I met some people where this situation is quite believable.
They are the same people who put a video of him saying “bitch” while they encourage him over and over on Facebook, and in the same video they yelled at him 30 seconds later for calling his mom a bitch. He was 4 then. So no, no joke.

Quality, quality people then. Must have been a fun visit.
The uncle still gets butthurt that we only see him a couple times a year. Sucks, I like the uncle enough but the family he married into may as well be Johnny Depp’s family in Whats Eating Gilbert Grape
I… Couldn’t imagine having my kid mountain dew

I used to think you can’t judge someone for their family. I mostly still do, but I can’t deny some things do seem to rub off.
When I’m spending a whole day with my kids, I would say 99% of my energy is focussed on tiring the fuckers out. I can’t even imagine introducing caffeine and sugar.

Just tell him to check other boxes. It’s always seemed the most logical legal argument against racial admissions is that race isn’t well defined or testable. I can literally check any or all boxes that I want to. How does that stand up in court?
So… here in Cali, we’re going to be sperincing some blackouts…for an undetermined amount of time.
So, my question is… should I get in on the looting?

Haven’t had any of that since the first visit in the big fancy truck!
The nurse did ask for a meds list though, so I asked if they kept records of that kind or stuff. Her non-answer was that they ask it for every visit, so I told her “no changes to what is on file.”.
Doc is cool though. He does know a bit about lifting and ok’d me for lifting again, just not any more than what I can get for 10 reps with good form. Creatine is out due to fluid volume issues and I can’t stay hydrated on Lasix anyways. I have to look through my records again but I think I have some left ventricular hypertrophy (Gains Bro!) and definitely some degree of congestive heart failure.

Good thing they gave arbitrary mandates for green energy generation and allowed a government sponsored monopoly to deliver all the power. That’s never a recipy for disaster. They should rebrand him governor brown out.
Yep - the sign to get in should read…
“Welcome to California, check your brains at the door - pick them up on the way out”

Colorism. As an African-American male I know we come in different shades. I do not like people who think they are special for being a lighter complexion african american. There’s just some kid that likes to announce to the whole world that he’s light skin. WHO CARES?
