    I’ve been looking and can’t find it, I’m sorry. I was fairly sure it happened before this point, but there are several sunday strips that area currently off the site XP I’ve gone forward several years, too, and I still haven’t found it, so I’m guessing it’s one of the ones that’s not up at the moment… I’m sorry. I’m still keeping an eye out. If I find it, I’ll put an updated comment :)

    As @a_biological_girl said, at least in the US, adoption is expensive. You often need to involve lawyers, have home inspections done, proof of income, etc. In some places, there are age or household constraints (some require it be a married couple, in other places, same-sex couples are prohibited, often they have to be over 21, but under age 50), you have to be able to pass an FBI identity and criminal check (and if you happen to have a similar name to another person, this step can actually hold you up for a while, needing to provide a lot of proof of identity).

    While it’s great to say ‘Just adopt,’ it’s often harder than that. They could be of the view @riff raff said, but even if they aren’t, they could be trying, but be on a wait-list or trying to pass one of the myriad other steps.

    No, you still get to keep the baby… you just end up in financial debt. Sometimes you can get it cleared by declaring bankruptcy, proving in court you literally can’t pay it and they verify it by looking at everything you own that could be worth money. Other times, they send you to collections, hounding you with calls and seeking to legally take money directly from any income you earn, often with additional fees that make the amount higher.

    Unfortunately, even they admit they have relatively poor self-control. They don’t understand how I can have the same bag of candy in my desk for weeks and literally forget it is there. For a celebration, we got a 4 lb cheesecake the other day cut into roughly 12 pieces. I ate 2 and the cheesecake was gone in a bit over 24 hours. So, yeah, I can understand Wanda sometimes hiding sweets to make sure she gets some XD

    Not really rotten… it’s an agreement they made. He hates it, but that is why he laid on the floor and she thanked him for it. They had apparently made a deal where he’d distract the kids so she could get in some nice, un-interrupted me-time.

    To add to that, my best friend’s parents have a small (thing mobile home) vacation home in FL that they go to every winter. (They are what would be termed “snow birds”). They live in New York, but want to escape the snow. I just checked and that would be almost 1,200 miles to their “vacation” home.

    I’ve known people with vacation homes in states other than where they live… My grandparents used to have a primary home in Tennessee, but also a home in Florida and one for when they would come see us in Michigan. From TN to FL, they were over 500 miles. To come see us, it was over another 650.

    Things changed and the extra homes were sold when I was still a child, but vacation home 800 miles from where they live is not impossible for some people.

    Zoe has a really bad habit of wanting to play hairstylist and using real tools… first, several times, on herself, then later with a younger sibling XP

    I’m assuming they already had, since they made no mention of it for a long time. If not, they would be waiting until they can afford the redo. This renovation isn’t just to beautiful or change, it was paid for by the insurance company due to the water leak storyline several weeks back :)

    Dead weight, which someone who is fully out of it qualifies as, it 100% harder to move. The lack of muscle tone and rigidity that someone who is awake provides, whether trying to help or hinder, allows for a better grasp on them, while the complete limp-noodle of someone who is fully asleep or out of it makes the body shift awkwardly, hard to grasp, and often roll or shift instead of being able to be easily grasped and picked up.

    We have one cat that, even when she is awake, has the remarkable ability to limp-noodle if you try to move her and she doesn’t want to. It’s like trying to lift 20 lbs of reluctant jello XD Though I still agree with @feefers_ – easy to move or not, reluctant to risk waking her or not, kid would be moved to the floor. XD
