    That was a fun a little exercise, and it was a great excuse to get the wife to put her hands on me.😉 It's also in-line with how I feel I look, over developed neck and chest. Underdeveloped arms, forarms, legs, and perfect calves. 🤣 I always joke that my calves stole all the genetics from my...

    When I got my vasectomy my mother in law took the kids for the weekend. She took my son who was 3 to the store with her and he informed the cashier that I was at the hospital getting my penis cut. 🤣

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Kung-fu Panda is probably my kids ( 9 & 11) favorite, I can say that the 2 dads is because he was adopted by the Goose who found him in crate and his real dad didn't even become a plot point until the 3rd one. I guess what I'm saying is at least it's not a gay 2 dad situation... yet .

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I had a Mazda 5 mini van and honestly I love sliding doors. When you have a family and are stuck in the rat race something about sliding doors makes everything easier. They are lame and dorky but day to day its easier.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I stayed at home with our 2 children ( 2 and 5 months at the time) for 2 years when you moved from Europe back to the US. I didn't find it terribly difficult, the key is to just take them outside a bunch. Noise canceling headphones also helped when you knew there was just no fixing the crying...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not true at all, the majority of studies show that men are task oriented and tend to stick to one at a time as women will multi-task but the outcomes are still similar. Men accomplish1 task at a time and women Work on several at once while the end result is basically the same.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I'm a little late to the yard talk, but here's my 2 cents. I have .48 of an acre of mostly flat yard and I recently bought a cub cadet 42" ZT They were running a 0% for 3 year loan. I added the bagger and mulch kit for 3.5k. It's definitely overkill for my yard but it cut down my time from my...

    That is true you can only get Gizmo with Verizon which my wife and I aren't on. It comes out to $30 a month for the 2. But they sound basically the same. Gizmo just added a camera to the 3 so they can send pictures, videos and have up to a 3 minute video chat with the trusted contacts. I also...

    Both of my kids 10 and 8 have the Gimzo 3 watches after having gizmo 2 for about 2 years each. It sounds like our neighbors are very similar and a bunch of the kids here have them. They can only have contacts that are pre-approved and unless their friends or family have gizmo or the app they...

    I spent almost 8 years as a produce manager at The Commissary on a small US base in Southern Germany. Besides military on vacation, the majority of our customers were retirees or widows.

    I've been with my wife for 20 years so for the most part it doesn't bother me anymore those are just a few examples. That being said people who are into their late 30s or beyond and have lived alone a long time will find the transition more difficult.

    I have a 2019 tacoma but it's the 6speed manual. You should look for a local person that does a tune for them. Everyone who's had theirs tuned seems very happy. I got one for mine that is manual specific and I could tell the difference pulling out of the parking lot.
