I had my first and only kid at 26, now I’m 38 and getting snipped in a couple days, I definitely felt like I missed out on a little by having to get all responsible and whatnot earlier than a lot of my peers, but I also am pretty glad to not be starting on that journey now, I’m not entirely decrepit yet and she’s really becoming independent. She just started the phase where she refuses to come out of her room before 11 am, I have my mornings back!

Manoueverable posted:I'm in a pretty big crisis because I'm 34, I want to have kids, but even if I met someone today it would probably be another 2 years at least before we have them. I mean, everybody’s journey and situation is their own and this is by no means a judgement so much as floating an alternative idea, but I know lots and lots of folks who are foster (or even adoptive) single parents, it doesn’t always have to be the traditional route! Obviously it doesn’t answer if you want an actual bio offspring or would prefer a partner for it (which, trust me, as a single parent would make my life SO much simpler), but if you’re especially determined you still have lots to offer regardless of your relationship status.

Lol, and here I'm too cheap to shell out for the FCS Championship Game when Montana's in it. In my defense if my dad were going I'd absolutely do it, he had season tickets my whole life and is the reason I'm a fan, but it wound up being the same weekend he's on another trip.

Kalli posted:Also I found a bug today where our name parser breaks if someone enters a provider with the same first and last name. Which is really annoying because how many Dr's could there possibly be in the US with matching names and secondly, that's the exact kind of bug I'd expect to have been found in testing as surely someone would've been lazy enough to put in Smith,Smith as a dr name somewhere. Not a doctor but my kid’s therapist does, that’s at least 1 potential more conflict in the country!

Air Skwirl posted:I thought he'd at least get into specifics of why Whitlock is a piece of poo poo. I mean, he talks about being a sellout Uncle Tom who panders to white people in an effort to sell out the black community and ran “Black Grantland” into the ground, runs off a list of media figures both on air and off who despise Whitlock and won’t work for him, calls out Whitlock for first trying to hire him and then trashing him in the press, and that’s just the little bit I sat through, seemed pretty detailed to me! But also he smoothly incorporates a plug for his book without missing a beat or lowering his volume, it’s quite a show.

Can’t remember if I’ve crowdsourced this in here, but my kid had a class project a while back where everyone is randomly assigned on of the states to do a report on, and she got South Dakota, which has now instilled an interest in her to visit this summer, but not with any more idea of what to actually visit there. Off the top of my head there’s Mt Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument, the Corn Palace, and gently caress all else to do. Anybody got some great South Dakota vacation thoughts?

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:I'm awaiting delivery+assembly of my new bed. Should I consider tipping the delivery team? It's currently -27°F (RealFeel -38°F) in Calgary. In Celsius that's -33/-39. I genuinely don’t know, is tipping culture a thing in Canada? In the US I’d say that’s a psycho question even without those weather conditions but you probably know that. Though to be fair I guess with someone like my tattoo artist I tip extremely well because I want them in a very good mood while they work on me, your bed is more a fixable issue if they’re grumpy.

My ex wife did the startup routine for a bit but had pretty bad luck, ranging from unexpectedly shutting down with no notice to the cokehead owner firing her at SEATAC during a manic episode while she was returning from a work trip. Made me greatly appreciate the stability of government work, the best job security and especially with the union I’m harder to get rid of than a cockroach. My pay is unimpressive in the grand scheme but for a social worker, especially one without an MSW, it’s pretty much top of the industry, I’ve got a buddy who wants to move to Tennessee to be near her family and it’d literally be a 60% pay cut

Yeah, sorry, all I can say is I buy a $12 pack of edibles, those are 10 servings of 10 mg THC, make that math convert as you will. Not enough to send me to the moon by any stretch, but I’m a lightweight and they knock my butt out at night, no complaints Edit: I’m 38 and started finding random stray greys, but they’re few and far between and regardless I’m not precious about it, let them come. Meanwhile my brother has completely avoided grey hair and his metabolism never slowed from being a drat teenager, but years of working outside year round has him looking more like a glove while my gloomy PacNW aversion to sun will keep my skin pasty and smooth as god intended for years to come, genes giveth and genes taketh away Thaddius the Large fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Jan 20, 2024 |

It’s a cliche but literally every Jackass movie I’ve seen in theaters has been an incredibly memorable experience, blasts all around. Also Pineapple Express on opening night was good, or any classic (first 2 dozen or so) Warren Miller was a solid vibe if you have just the right crowd, which are generally the exact fools who show up to a live Warren Miller screening in the first place

Ornery and Hornery posted:I need to start doing this. I literally went with whatever was ubiquitous in local shops and struck my fancy, my usual is Jackpot which makes 10 mg gummies in a variety of flavors and strains, but I haven’t really attended to any others out there. The Huckleberry Sativa is my go to since I always preferred sativas over indicas back when I smoked flower, it tended to minimize the couch-lock and lessen anxiety, but by my vague understanding largely informed by Bill Walton everyone reacts differently to different strains, your best bet will be to sample a couple things until you find the right vibe. Scientific method!

Totally, it was part of my PT routine a few years back rehabbing my knee, good stuff! And thankfully I’m still active enough the skiing came back pretty quick, it was just funny the disconnect between my brain being so ready and my legs not having the same easy recall for what was once second nature Edit: on the subject of getting physically ready for stuff, I was looking ahead to this summer and hoping to get into the Enchantments in Washington, ideally backpacking if I can win an overnight permit in the lottery, otherwise I’m thinking I’ll do the one day route. 20-22 miles, big elevation but mostly within my comfort zone, the exciting bit will be Aasgard Pass, wherein you gain 2000 feet in just 1 mile. Gonna be getting really familiar with the stairmaster this spring! Thaddius the Large fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Feb 8, 2024 |
