Replace the bottom with Microcenter and this accurstely describes me.

My family calls MicroCenter “the toy store” for that very reason.

When I walk in there, I just want to spin around like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.

No, I’m in my 40s and I still get a rush walking into Toys R Us.

I was about to be like "bro, Toy's R Us is gone" because I remember it going under in 2018, but apparently capital pulled it out of the shitter and there are something like 20+ locations now.

Also, Toys R Us continues to exist outside of the US.

Before my baby was born I used to love whiskey. I wasn’t a heavy drinker but I really enjoyed it and had built up a pretty decent collection. When my wife got pregnant, she couldn’t drink anymore so I couldn’t drink anymore, and now that we’re starting to have drinks again I just don’t have a taste for it. It sucks because I have quite a bit just sitting around now. I’d like to get back into it again, not to drink every night or anything but just to be able to appreciate it again. I like enjoying things. On the plus side I’m now enjoying beer and wine a lot more than I used to, though I don’t drink those very much either. I’ve found more joy in coffee now than booze.
