  1. What are ways to get money to cover renovations? A house my wife has had her eye on might be coming around earlier than we had thought. The price won’t be an issue, but it’s going to need a lot of renovations. Wife thinks we can wait and do parts here and there. I would rather do it all at once then move in.
  2. 75 shots over 48 hours doesn’t sound safe. Things must have changed. When I first got tested I swelled up so much they gave me a Benadryl and sent me home before we finished. They told me I needed to wait 5 days for my system to clear out. That was 10 years ago.
  3. I worked in a frame shop in high school and used to frame all my posters. They’re all at my parents house (assuming they haven’t been trashed after 20+ yrs) and I was thinking recently of getting them back. All the good ones are Pearl Jam. See if I can get pics.
  4. I could be getting some things confused.
  5. Didn’t Mack’s legacy cause the birth of ShaggyBevo? For that, I applaud his performance at Texas
  6. My kids are 4.5 and they still take a nap. Anywhere from 1.5-2 hours. 6 yr lays down for about 30min to an hour. Days they have school they don’t nap. When I get home from work I can usually tell who has and who hasn’t had a nap. I also just took an hour long nap and it was pretty nice.
  7. I did allergy shots in Austin for years and they worked (4 once a week). Allergist told me I was top 5 worst she had ever seen. After 2 years, for some reason my body started rejecting the shots and I would swell up and get really bad reactions. At that point we started daily under tongue drops. Those continued for a long time and also worked well. One day I just stopped to see where things stood. No allergies. I moved to Houston area 3 years ago. Never had a problem until pine got me last year. It gets on my throat and I lose my voice. This year has been a different story. I’m dying. Using Claritin-D, musinix and some nose spray. Need to go to AUSTIN sir work. Dreading it if things are this bad in the Houston area.
  8. Allen Edmunds Anniversary sale thru 4/23. Online and in store I believe.
  9. Thanks! Been waiting for this and the timing is perfect. My last bag is almost empty.
  10. Everyone does things differently, we try to let our kids make decisions to a point. I believe kids need structure. They need you to tell them what to do and when to do it. That’s why I’m the parent. When we have time for bullshit, I let them figure it out. When we don’t, I’m making the decisions or let them think they’re making decisions that we’ve already made for them. As they get older I give them notice and let them make bigger decisions and if they haven’t made said decisions by my timeline, we’re making it for them. Oldest is 6. She has more responsibilities than her 4 year old brother/sister. For school, the clothing options are figured out the night before and they are usually given 2 or 3 options. My wife is shitty at making decisions and my oldest inherited that trait. The fewer options the easier the decision. Figure out how to empower your kids without letting them run the show. That’s just my opinion.
  11. How many people are we talking about? A train coming through your yard or a handful over the last month? Motion sensor sprinkler (usually for deer) would be a good use here.
  12. My uncle’s 3rd or 4th wife died in February. My parents went to the funeral. They just told me about all of this 2 days ago. We have spoken many times and they have been to my house at least once since then.
  13. Definitely needs to go on Nextdoor. Then relayed here
  14. I have my Arlo cameras set up so that the lag does cause much problems. That said, the camera on my driveway stopped connecting 5 days after I put it up (its high) and that pissed me off. Yesterday, after 3 months of running, my front door camera just decided to go offline. Batteries are good, just not connecting. I hate when technology doesn’t live up to its end of the deal.
  15. Thought I was going crazy - keeps taking me to the middle of threads I haven’t read.
  16. Not sure why it triple posted.
  17. Honda. I had a toro with B/S and I hated it. Had problems the entire time I had. Replaced with a Honda 2 years ago and it’s been a whole new world.
  18. I need to paint the cabinets and trim in the kids’ bathroom. Someone thought almost yellow would be a good idea. Wife hates it. She’s leaving town on Thursday and coming home Friday. Debating whether or not I can get it done while she’s gone.
  19. I was a second and my parents didn’t give a shit what I did. My oldest just turned 6 and the twins are 4 (18 month separation). I think you brought up some good points and I’m going to talk with wife and start paying more attention. I think it could be little shit for her like she goes to school (kinder) every day while the others only go a couple days. She thinks she’s missing out sometimes when she’s not home.
  20. Do first kids have it harder? I wasn’t a first and neither was my wife. My first seems to have a little disconnect at home sometimes because she has twin brother and sister that have a special relationship (the twin bond). I see her feeling left out sometimes. Most of the time it doesn’t seem to bother her. But other times it seems to really get at her. As for being the first, she’s the one pioneering the way. In jest people say the first has it harder. I’m starting to see it a little. I will also say she gets to do some things the others haven’t when they reached her age.
