Wife is Pregnant…

Yeah this. Mine was born when I was 43. Didn’t even want kids when I was younger . Had a vasectomy at 30, changed my mind at 41 and had a reversal, which miraculously worked. I’m turning 51 this month. I have patience and the ability to be present with my kid that I would have been incapable of 20 years ago.

"Strange" concerts that you enjoyed

Found this in the supply room at work today. Younger coworkers blown away that you needed a cord this long. Well, we had to leave the kitchen & go around the corner to shut the door so no one could hear what we were talking about!

It’s amazing, I did have to get a few friend’s parents to buy in too, but it worked. There’s also an option to pay so they can dial regular phones. The super nice part is we approve who she can call and who can call in, so unlike a real landline there’s no telemarketers calling. My kid is 7 and we’re trying to keep her off of screens as much as humanly possible.

I got my daughter a “tin can” phone, which is essentially a voip box and princess phone that she can call her friend with. I love it when she uses it. Got a reasonably long cord so she can go between our living room and sun room.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 99 ... Wear sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.  The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,  whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I hate these home warranty companies. If I’m having a bad day I call them, listen to their spiel, and then tell them I’d never deal with a fucking piece of shit company that would market like that.

Seriously. “AI” has sucked all the fun and novelty out of our field. We always need to remember that the luddites were actually the good guys, even though it’s used as a slur now.

Have you enjoyed getting older?

I got myself one of those led light masks and it really seems to be helping with fine lines - it also has chillers for under the eyes and those work amazingly well.

I am an intensely private person and I am strongly considering running for local office on an anti-AI platform.

‘75 here. The only grey is in my beard, and I’ve had parents of my kid’s friends say “oh but you’re younger than me”. Has to be the hose water.

Oh well, if hospitalization or death and not severe discomfort and potential permanent disability is your calculus, then by all means don’t get your fucking vaccine. This is a do not dumb zone. Please stop dumbing here.

This. The school district sent notes telling parents not to let their kids watch it but mine missed the memo. In retrospect maybe more kids should have watched it, especially the ones who grew up to be congress critters.
