@Reinhard Wolff how do you feel about family events and fathers/mothers in IE? I've found it hard to find like minded parents :/

i've worked in local political campaigns

@Reinhard Wolff, that’s true but not everyone sees the pictures of bowling. Most people don’t have Twitter and they don’t follow IE anyway. What about diversifying the YouTube channel?

Dragon Scouts soon.
(co-ed boy scouts starts next month, fyi)

The more your able to help share family get togethers, showing it is normal the better

Diversity in the youtube channel is our greatest strength

Haven't been in the Skills server in a while, or ever?

There's new channels and lots to catch up on!

Practical Skills, Business and Money, Academics, and Life Skills. Welcome!

@Reinhard Wolff what do you think about “meet up milestones” as something to post on twitter? For example: “our DC chapter celebrated 100 meet ups by...”

$1 off monthly membership for every kid you have.

Make sure to not broadcast hard membership numbers

@Bogl - CA I can get behind that

Wish i would have had more kids! Always wanted another,too old for now

Yes!!! We've been having some good cultured meetups in NYC! More to come!

I've loved children that I didn't create

By this saturday I’ll have been to three meet ups in the past two weekends, and that’s because I missed one 😂

NYC is lucky to have such great people

and me

silver-pill/cope-post: surviving white genes will be very natalistic

ahahahaha

And me!

Having kids gets in the way of being selfish.

Haha yep

@Reinhard Wolff you're right on the money with parenting. Friends' and neighbors' kids are wholly different from your own

@Reinhard Wolff at what point does a chapter get big enough to split into two more local ones?

To reduce travel time and thus make meetups more regular

Later.

Thanks, Patrick!

Have a Good night!😉💜

Adjos

Night night, @Reinhard Wolff

Farewell Director Casey!

Goodnight good folks!!!!

Remember to stay humble folks😊💜

This is what I deal with now,only a few bites eaten from a small sandwich for dinner,could barely get him to eat a bowl of cereal this afternoon. My dad is going through this stage again where he barely eats,he is so skinny. Besides sleeping more which I wondered if he was gonna die yesterday on my bd because he slept till 4pm. Its a miracle he made it through Christmas. I don't know sometimes if he will stretch out more months ahead and hang on or what. At least with my daughter moving back home,she will be able to see first hand how bad her Grandfather is. I know I have been pressing my luck with him as of late. And his mind has gone even more now... Its hard taking care of him sometimes & is draining. But I'm also thankful for our chapter & the close relationships i have made with members her in IE. I know the future for him isn't much more. Hold onto the wisdom of your elders the best you can before they go...

@celticflame I am sorry to hear that ab your father. I too am feeling that impending mortality of my extended family, which only makes me want to start my own and keep our cause alive. My father was recently diagnosed with cancer, and although it is early I am still worried with thinking ab the future and how this affects my siblings. Really makes me feel quite introspective and a bit weary.

Stay strong @celticflame . It's not easy, but I believe it's one of our sacred duties to care for our parents when they age. I'm glad you've stepped up.

Thankyou @lonewolf19d Yes definitely not easy. I saw my Aunt go through Back and Brain cancer,scary stuff. It really does affect everyone. That's understandable to feel weary.

@Bogl - CAThankyou so much,I know you understand even more so! I'm trying.

@celticflame I was also the caretaker for my father post-stoke . He's (somewhat) better now. Maybe try spoonfuls of peanut butter to fatten him up a bit?
