Feel bad for all the people coming to the hot rod show today that have to drive their sweet rigs over the unsealed section of road that's been redone 4 times this year.

I personally think we cooked them with too much other stuff and sauce in a stir fry one time and them with too much butter the next time and they just sucked up all those flavours. I would try them again with less going on to get a better idea what they're like.

spent the last few days planning a day trip with some mates that I was looking forward to, so predictably I don't sleep a loving wink and have to cancel the whole thing. Any recommendations for an off-the-shelf sleep aid? I've been using seremind for a few years and it worked well enough until a few months ago

Restavit is magic, but maybe try it out first with a small dose. I don’t know if it’s just me but I take a quarter tablet and it zonks me. Recommended dose is 1-2 tablets.

I generally sleep well but every now and then I get a night where I just don't sleep at all for no discernible reason. I can function ok the next day but start to go to poo poo in the late Arvo. If it happens two nights in a row it's big trouble.

My sciatica has been giving me the shits with sleep a lot lately Been waking up regularly, but it felt appropriate, like I'm at the peak of my sleep cycle I'll go grab some water, or roll my back out and get back to sleep no worries and wake up feels great in the morning

Did a rare socialising with some old pals today. no drinking for me, but still absolutely had a blast. A lesson i've learnt in the last few years is that i don't actually need to be 6 rumbos deep to be a fun guy to hang out with. Absolutely cracking day, 25 degrees near the ocean, bit of a breeze, plenty of shade and just  in general. Jestery posted:Also

Mrs Spergo and myself went to a friend's for lunch with some other friends as well. She's a nice girl but holy poo poo her and her husband are so loving hard to spend time with. We barely get a word in edge ways and basically their entire lives revolve around their 3 kids and each other and they're always complaining about the kids or telling us unrelatable stories about the kids. I don't drink much and neither does Mrs Spergo, but they always try to force a beer on us and it makes me feel kinda obliged

Once you have kids it's pretty easy for your life to be basically just work and kids. The me of ten+ years ago wouldn't really enjoy hanging out with the me of today I reckon.

Obviously you need to start popping them out. The good news is that once you have a couple of kids the excessive drinking will just come naturally.

It's not so much that that's the case, it's like they just love to complain about it all. the wife got pregnant during uni and dropped out, and is essentially a stay at home mum full time. She was saying yesterday that she doesn't even take 10 minutes to herself ever, which is concerning to say the least. We have other friends with kids and they manage to strike a really healthy balance between being parents, managing each other's requirements and having a healthy social life. Maybe they're just different people but it's loving hard to say yes to spend time with the ones we visited yesterday compared to this other couple

The me of ten+ years ago wouldn't really enjoy hanging out with the me of today I reckon. my mates with kids definitely have fallen by the wayside, some more than others. the thing is, it is entirely up to the parents how much of their life they are going to give up to be parents. one mate has 3 kids under 4. i never see him and his wife ever, the odd times I do, its a totally different world. I dont have much in common with him any more because he has no time to stay in the loop with shared interests, its all kids. another has 1 kid at 3 and while I dont see him much they are pretty strict on their sleepign scheduled and shared duties so I get to see him or his wife pretty regularly and sometimes i get to see both of them. number of kids aside there is a stark difference in parenting between the two and I think the first couple are overwhelmed and burnt right the gently caress out (both are also healthcare workers). they take no time for themselves so just end up in that constant reactive state with regards to life. it is not impossible to have a social life as a parent, but if you do not try to, it will definitely not happen.

It definitely warps your perspective a lot. When they’re really tiny your life has to revolve around them. When they’re a bit bigger (2 or so) it’s less manic so you can wind down a bit, but some people just stay highly strung. It’s kinda bad for some people’s brains tbh. I had a hard time when mine was pint size but now they’re bigger all the time we have together revolves around fun rather than survival.

Laserface posted:it is not impossible to have a social life as a parent, but if you do not try to, it will definitely not happen. I have a mate with 2 kids, now 5 and 7, and he and his wife are really good about letting each get time to do their own things. He'll periodically book out a weekend to fly up from Melb to Bris (where they're from) to come hang out with the boys whilst she keeps the kids. She'll then get the equivalent where he's the only parent for the weekend. It's definitely easier now they're at that semi-autonomous age, but he was able to (less frequently, admitted) make that time even when they were toddlers. He did struggle a lot to become a parent when they were young and he had to lose that ability to be selfish and do his own stuff, but I think he's finding it easier now. I suspect that transition is particularly hard for some people, and probably on average dads moreso where they're a little less connected with the parenting process than the mums. Other guys I know are pretty good at still doing activities that can be done with kids, for example we'll get together to do a day of homebrewing, smoking meat and shooting the poo poo around someone's house where kids can be kept under watch but we can all kick back. The girls will all hang around (or go out) and do their own thing, or just socialise with us as well, and then we all have a big feast together for dinner. Some people I know are pretty bad, though, and you can quickly see them drop off the radar and become completely different people. It's a tough line to straddle, I think. One mate of mine has a kid who is quite severely on the spectrum and will probably never progress much past about 1 year of age mentally. It's super tough for him, because the kid's now at the stage where he's getting some strength and can genuinely hurt mum with slaps or bites. They have a carer that helps sometimes, but it's really difficult for him to get time out of his day, so I don't get to see him much since it takes a lot of planning to make that time. We still try to occasionally catch up for some beery golf or something that gives us time enough to catch up as a group. The thing they struggle with most (in particular the mum) is that all her friends who have young kids inevitably end up talking about their kids' development and they don't tend to realise how much of a kick in the guts it is for her. Some are better at avoiding it and talk about other stuff, but the couple of mums who are completely absorbed in their kids don't really talk about anything else and it's really tough for her to be around those people, even if it's no fault of their own.
