alektorophobiae··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

I'm an only child with a very small family, so our holidays were just me, mom, and dad. Growing up (and even a little bit today) I always felt lonely, especially when comparing our family to all the large Irish and Italian families that I went to grade school with.

But the older I get, the more I focus on just being grateful for the time I still have with them. It does make me sad to think of when they pass away (my dad is 74 with health conditions).

Virtual hugs to you all.

alektorophobiae··on Writing books is not really a good idea
This is well said and puts into words something I have struggled to articulate for a while.. Thanks. Always nice to see other people value the arts in the tech sphere. :)

I saw that too lol. Looks like it was a transcription error by whomever copied this from its original source. It originally said "forty cents": http://moses.law.umn.edu/darrow/documents/Children%20Coal%20...
