re: Manscaping Age Cut Off
Posted by beej on 7/14/17 at 5:10 pm
Really solid feedback, as much as can be expected from a predominantly anonymous forum.
Going to trim, no blade shave.
I did that before in life but I didn't want to be over doing it.
I'm terrified to date. Having all the conversations I've had in my married life all over again with someo...
Manscaping Age Cut Off
Posted by beej on 7/13/17 at 4:47 pm
After some time adjusting to life as a widowed father, I am opening my brain to the idea of dating (my late wife fully endorsed me moving on).
I am not going out actively looking for strange. But I do have some self-respect left to where I don't want to flat put embarrass myself or end my chance...

4 pages & no mention of black vs. white movie theater audiences. I'm not calling for trouble or problems, but sadly there will be problems with these audiences. At the very least, a secere uptick in complaints of 1 about the other's "viewing behavior". At least comedians will get to reuse some class...

Yes, a mostly war free existence. A fraction of our bravest have served throughout the Gulf Conflicts in comparison to WWI, WWII, & Vietnam. No draft. No continuous schedule of military funerals for nearly every male you knew growing up.
The last 30 years worth of young Americans have experienced...

We're sorry for providing a mostly war & worry free existence for our children.
That said, there were plenty of chances & years of education to prepare them for the real world. The fact that they didn't pick up on it & instead yell loudly isn't the older generation's fault. And it's certainly ...

I'm genuinely concerned this is going to happen.
A buddy had to fire some recent grads at work this month because they couldn't handle being told to get their work done or they wouldn't have a job. They spent too much of the remaining time trying to find a way around that fact with HR than actua...
what truly is the deal with this "words hurt" generation?
Posted by beej on 2/15/17 at 10:53 pm
We seem to be gaining more stories day after day about today's youth claiming to be hurt by words/micro-aggressions.
What is the actual cause of this nonsense & how much deeper is this going to get?
How is the vocal minority gaining so much ground? Is the silent majority just too busy actual...
re: Are more parents going to schools during lunch to spend time w/ their kids?
Posted by beej on 2/2/17 at 10:51 pm
Nice try. My kids have gotten more attention from my late wife & I in the last 2 years than any other I know. On top of that, they're getting more from my siblings, her siblings, & of course the grandparents.
This entire experience has taught me that there's a noticeable percentage of parents ...
re: Are more parents going to schools during lunch to spend time w/ their kids?

After inconspicuously bringing this up with my kids & their friends over the last week I've further discovered that the kids who "love it" are kids with few or no friends. And yes, they get made fun of. Had to step in to make sure my kids aren't doing any harsh bullying. They did admit that they hav...
re: Are more parents going to schools during lunch to spend time w/ their kids?
Posted by beej on 1/26/17 at 9:37 pm
I have 4 children that range from pre-k to 6th grade. So, that's 3 different campuses. The kids in school ride the bus, pre-k gets a pick up/drop off from the HS girl we have. Her older sister started for us 3 years ago but is now a freshman at LSU. After my wife passed & throughout final months we ...
Are more parents going to schools during lunch to spend time w/ their kids?
Posted by beej on 1/26/17 at 3:19 pm
What is the deal with parents going to their kids' school for lunch to just spent time/have a "lunch date" with them? I don't mean during school sponsored events like Mom Mondays or Doughnuts with Dad. But like a random Wednesday, &/or multiple times a week.
I was asked why I don't do lunch date...

Towards the end, I can begin to see it.
But she never supported his music. She drove him away. He got her the house, things, babies, & money. She kept pushing him with her miserable attitude. ...

In terms of packing up her stuff to store it, I just don't know "when" is right.
I don't imagine we will throw anything away anytime soon. But there's stuff of hers around that feels like its sitting in place until she comes back. We know she isn't, we just don't know when is right to store it unt...

Thx for all the positivity so far. Found a few helpful avenues by way of some posts & further Google'ing. A posting forum seems to still be missing. Maybe I'll start 1. Will be good to have a project while the kids are in school.
I've found that the Food & Outdoor Boards here helpful to give me ...

Thanks for this one. Friends pointed me here too.
That said, I'm looking for a forum where I can read other dad's threads on topics I've encountered & surely will in the future. Also want to vent to people who will let me do that when I need it.
Appreciate the condolences fellow posters. At ...

So I'm a recent widow. Big C took my wife & mother to our kids. Been a few months, things are starting to normalize.
That said, I'm a stay at home dad now until at least the youngest goes off to grade school. Late wife & I split most of the parenting/household duties all of our years together. B...

One of the best memories of my childhood was listening to his albums play in our house growing up. Times weren't always great but the music sure helped.
Interestingly enough my folks for big fans of both Croce & Buffett. ...

I mean, I can understand if she was upset before he made it to Sun Records. But damn, she appears to be a real C U Next Tuesday. Or is that just my general distaste for the actress that played her in the movie? ...
