I got a grandkid now, and it's funny because he actually snoops around my house, and touches all my toys (snowboards, surfboard, skateboards, BMX bikes, dirt and street bikes, SCUBA gear, paintball guns, etc.) and all my old Army uniforms and stuff hidden in the closet. HE actually think I'm cool, and calls me teach them him to do all this stuff. But he always...sneaks around my daughters to do it, because they are still stuck in "My dad is embarassing" mode and say it loud and often around him. They are very fond of reminding me I am "Immature" because I still got hobbies and am in no way sad about being divorced. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Go nuts with your grandkids, and teach them to live life and not be a bunch of squares. It's the best revenge against your kids.

@jitensha8647 6 жыл бұрын

I didn't know what a gap year was until my mid 20s. I find it amazing that other Americans can even afford to take a year off and travel or do literally nothing...it's not an option I ever had, nor my friends or classmates. I graduated college almost a decade ago, so I'm way past my chance to take a gap year, but regardless, I just find it so interesting. A little jealous of course, but really I just find it interesting that kids even have the option to take a gap year. I met a lot of people like this moving from the south to NYC.

@annacash6674 6 жыл бұрын

jitensha We can take a gap year, but I think adults look down on people who say that. I want to save money and not switch. I told people that I'm taking a gap year. My aunt thinks I won't go because of it, and adults at my school told me not to that it's a bad idea.

And on the gambling side, Gabe Kaplan is one of the most popular commentators on high stakes and professional-level televised poker. See if you can find episodes of a series called "High Stakes Poker" floating around KZfaq. Gabe commentated the program for the first 6 seasons, and you'll probably enjoy hearing him.
