    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    Banya=sauna/sweat room right? Russian tradition to sweat after eating then jump in cold water. You need a cane with the end being lead. My grandpa always had one, he called it the dog beating stick.

    BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

    You have the option to go to your fathers house or not :) I decided at age 11 to no longer even SEE or speak to my father, but that was under terrible circumstances. If you dislike him, go to lunch every now and then. If its staying in his house, go hang out for the day or after school.
