Does anyone know of any good literature about St. Myron of Crete? I have found the link listed below, and the wiki article. When I type his name into Amazon all that comes up is a necklace and bags of concrete.
I'm looking into the saints, considering praying to them and it's frankly not clicking w/ me. Maybe that's a better question...what should I be doing when I'm praying to a saint? What I have read about Myron seems interesting and I'd like to try to connect more to a saint, so far he's the only one, outside the Theotokos, that is interesting to me.
Maybe I'm off track and am overthinking it? At any rate at a minimum any literature on him would be helpful.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
I've been meaning to post this for quite a while (this was originally titled "New Year, New Me, New Coins" to give you an idea of how well my resolutions are going) but instead this will be my inaugural post on r/CoinSales. I've gotten consistently good feedback on it which shall not be named and I hope to continue that trend on this new sub.
In essence, I am purging much of my ancients collection to fund the purchasing of new, more interesting coins. There are some old coins here that I've tried to sell before, to which I have applied deep price reductions. The new coins include some former collection pieces (all very high grade) and some very nice sand-patinated coins found in the Middle East.
**THE TOP SHELF**
A1 - Diva Faustina denarius: A classic 2nd century denarius with honest wear and a nice dark patina. $55.
A2 - Constantius II Siliqua, Lugdunum: A scarcer denomination with an uncommon design. Unfortunate flan chip at 11 o'clock. $40.
A3 - Constantine II Follis, Siscia: Absolutely choice XF coin. Perfectly centered, glossy green patina, flawless surface. $60.
A4 - Licinius I Follis, Cyzicus: Beautiful silvery-brown patina. Flawless for the type. $70.
A5 - Constans I Follis, Siscia: Very nice portrait for Constans. Once again, absolutely flawless surfaces with a glossy brown-green patina. $60.
A6 - Licinius I Follis, Heraclea: Chocolate brown patina with perfectly clean fields. Strike weakness at the top of the reverse. $40.
A7 - Divus Constantine I Follis, Antioch: Perfectly centered on a round flan (rare for this type). Unfortunate green encrustations (NOT bronze disease) on the reverse. $40.
**THE MID RANGE**
B1 - Valentinian I Follis, Siscia: Gunmetal patina. Very nice coin with a comically large portrait for the coin size. $20.
B2 - Probus Antoninianus, Siscia: Struck on large flan. XF, silvery brown patina. $25.
B3 - Valens Follis, Siscia: Another coin with choice gray patina. $20.
B4 - Valens Follis, Siscia: Irregularly shaped flan with some chipping. Less glossy, but still a pleasant matte. $20.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
