Saw this today and it reminded me of these SNL skits. Dude is sickly, doesn't make much money I think, and he scores a former model who is studying to be a lawyer. Good for him, but holy cow.

Some chicks seek out serial killers too. It’s a big big world.

I have a hard time throwing stones at any parent that has a special needs child. People with only neurotypical kids can't understand the struggle it can be to have a nonverbal autistic child. Imagine your child being incredibly upset, but they can't tell you what's wrong. It could be they're just hungry, it could be they're just overstimulated, or it could be an emergency room visit. I'm not saying this guy is a saint at all, but being on the other side of the fence I understand some of the behaviors. One weekend a year with the Mrs is hardly a big ask. Many couples with kids go out every month or two. My wife and I have had one weekend for ourselves in 11 years because we can't just leave him with anyone. Quite frankly I'd love a live in babysitter, I envy him in that regard. To be fair he's a bit of a celebrity though, so he has some assets to make the situation easier.

Have a close Marine buddy with a severely autistic teenager. When he opens up about it, my heart truly hurts for the child, him and his wife.

Big respect to you for living your love fully even when it is difficult, U!

You and the family will be in our prayers tonight...nothing heavy just pray you and Mrs. U a few smiles this weekend!

I got some very sad news from my old stomping grounds in Alabama today. My mom called to tell me that the 4-year-old grandson of a guy I grew up with got mauled to death by a neighbor's dog yesterday. Apparently the dog had never shown any signs of being a problem and it's not clear why he attacked. I just can't imagine what that family is going through. As a father and grandfather, this has really bothered me all day. You think you have problems until you hear of something like this and you realize your problems aren't all that bad.

I get a notice in the mail from one of my credit card holders. It says that after a review of my account, it is going to change my APR to 24.24% effective May 1. I'm like WTF? Mind you, I have zero balance, have never been late with a payment and always paid well over the minimum due. Along with that, our credit score is in the outstanding range.

I call the company and this lady says to hold on so she can review our account. She comes back on and says "I see you have been a good customer. However, at this time I have no better program to offer you. I suggest you call back on May 1 to see if we can offer you something better at that time."

Time to close that account.

Don’t close it. That will hurt your credit. Just keep it open and stop using it.
