in the running for the craziest thing i heard tonight, when taking a picture of my kid's with their cousin "don't raise your hand in pictures!"

apparently it's against jesus's teachings.. or something... i disassociated halfway through the explanation.


pretty sure my SIL thinks Sharia Law is a tad progressive for her liking

tell her to cover her face and STFU
 
Empty nesters, neighbors having the get togethers tonight and tomorrow. Tough to beat. Turned down the “opportunity” to go to my sister’s house a couple hours away for tomorrow, love the family but sometimes a relaxed holiday is the way to go.

College daughter is coming up on the 26th for a few days, looking forward to that, and the parents will join us for a prime rib dinner I’ll be making on Saturday.

Biggest thing I’ve leaned into is to try and take some of the pressure off the actual holiday, and see family and friends around it.

Merry Christmas, all!

This seems weird and I'm a little obsessive so I did some research. The bible refers to raising or lifting your hands 21 times. Not once does Jesus or anyone else say not to do it. At least 3 times it is encouraged.

deleted mine for the greater good. please delete my quote. thx
 
Went to my wife’s side for Christmas Eve. MIL asks what time to come by for breakfast. I said I’d text her in the morning
She texts around 9 and asks when she should come
I told her we got a late start so come around 10
9:15 she calls and asks if the kids can come help her bring gifts in :lmao:
 
why does the rest of the world outside of the US hate ice?
finding a fridge with a built in freezer is not standard. also, since the fridges are not frost free, there is no room for ice in that little remaining space. trying to get an iced coffee in italy is like splitting the atom. no concept.
 
Yeesh, first day back at work since 12/20. Didn't have as many emails as I thought I'd have.

Kids and their mom were in Louisiana since day after Christmas. I did a deep cleaning of my room/office, layed around and watched a lot of football, did some errands, spent time with the dogs, went out with buddies a few times (including NYE, but was in bed by 10). I had on my list of "things to do" to come on here and browse but never got around to it.

Kinda bummed the fantasy football season is over but will do a playoff contest or two.

Happy 2025 all.
 
Local weatherfolks are super pumped for the "possibility" of half a foot of snow on Thursday in Central Texas. You know what isn't a possibility? The panic buying. You can make book on that.
I never understood paninc buying especially in states/areas that are equipped to handle snow, Sure if I'm elderly or something I might be concerned but after 24-48 hours you can get around everywhere pretty normally. *Unless you get some unexpected 20" snowfall or something

This is all true, but A) We are not equipped in any way; and ii) A few years ago, we iced over for a week and everybody is gun-shy

Yeah I understand it much more in places that don't typically get snow
 
Back in the winter of '10/11, I remember Austin got some snow/ice that left us pretty stranded at home. My wife had a doctor's appointment (she was pregnant with our first) that had to be postponed. Definitely not equipped to handle it.
 
I try not to be judgey, and I'm going to avoid putting this in the "Covid" thread, but man... just this morning on my way to work I saw two things that have me absolutely baffled... a lady walking down the street wearing a mask. Not some busy downtown street, I'm talking about a completely empty suburban road. I mean, I guess she could have been on her way to work or a store or something and she's immune-compromised? But just out for a walk?

And two, some guy sitting in his car in a 7-11 parking lot with a mask on.

Is the 'rona hitting people hard again? So much so where people are wearing masks in these situations? Again, not trying to be a Judgey McJudgerson or be political or anything like that, it was just odd seeing these two people within 10 minutes. :shrug:

People seem to wear them more often post-covid when they are sick, also, tons of Influenza out there along with RSV in adults. I have seen a ton of folks with masks since late Nov. Doesn't affect me and if they want to I really don't care.

I understand that, but while driving or walking on an empty street? I would absolutely understand on an airplane/bus/subway or in a crowded environment.

I don't care either, I just found it odd seeing two within 10 minutes.

Also, the air quality here where I am in SoCal - at least today - is fair.

In SoCal, makes more sense to me that it's fire related.

Quite possible. Fortunately where I'm at in coastal Orange County the air quality is good. My sister evacuated her place in LA because of the air quality for two nights last week, though.

Why do you care?

Just asking. I'm trying to do this myself these days. Things run through my head and I'm checking myself...if it doesn't affect me, why do I care.

Again, I don't care. People can do what they want. I was just surprised to see two folks within 10 minutes, in seemingly "alone" environments, wearing masks. I suppose I should have considered the recent air quality over Covid concerns, quite possibly.
 
Any dads in here have any experience with kids (daughters but not exclusive to them) who dealt with eating disorders? Might need some veteran help....PM if you prefer.
While not an eating disorder, my daughter was insanely picky about what she’d eat until she was 17ish. She ate like a 5 year old forever. People would tell me that it will pass but I struggled believing that as she went through HS. But they were right. As long as they’re healthy and active it seems to work itself out*

*not a dr and not minimizing actual eating disorders. Feel free to text me if ya want.

As a teacher in an all girls school I come across it about once a year. Usually friends that give the teachers or counselors a heads up. I once had a student who had to go to the bathroom in my class and facetime her mother while she ate her snack. Pretty heartbreaking at times.
 
My nearly-14-year-old doesn't really have a "disorder", per se, but it seems like all she eats is puffcorn, protein bars, mac n' cheese, ramen and Del Taco.

She's otherwise healthy and very active, so we're not too hard on her (or her brother, who's even more picky).
