@goosehd thanks, man! On those already, and they seem to work (for a bit). He loves my knuckles - thankfully no blood yet

Sophie the giraffe is cool until you cut one open and see that the entire inside is covered in mold from their drool.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Yeah, Nikki read about that. We got this gommu guy instead - made in Spain, no holes to collect moisture

[goosehd]

Something I didn't know and hadn't really looked at. The kids only used them for about a year...so hopefully no harm done.

Knuckles here also started off ok but by the end was painful
Then the joy of the tooth fairy comes later and when you don’t have any coins and the only thing in your wallet is a $50 note it sets a very expensive precedent

My son lost his first tooth last week and I only had a 5 but I figured it was alright since it was his first tooth and somewhat of a special occasion

After a suprise 4th earlier this year I'm headed to get the utilities disconnected this afternoon.

Anyone have any brand recomendations for frozen peas?

[Matt]

Best of luck. New season of What We Do in the Shadows on Hulu started this week. Penguin on Max is excellent. Other than that you can always pass time by getting high and watching Schitt’s Creek again as I often do in a pinch. That should get you through the weekend.

Also Elias Rønnenfelt from Iceage has a new album…

@GraemeE I had to read this a couple time before I understood. I thought the expense of four kids meant no more modern conveniences like heat and water haha

My wife wants me to shut down the main frame too! We don't even have kids...guess that's how to ensure it stays this way.

[Matt]

Do it fast before she changes her mind.

Not far off once you consider the cost of dance lessons, guitar lessons, weekly snack budget etc...

[Matt]

I don’t mind the expenses. It’s the ceaseless complaining and insufferable attitudes I could do without.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt imagine how Katie must feel

[Mizmazzle]

^ Bazinga!!!

[Matt]

That’s a fair assumption however in reality, I do not complain and am actually pretty even keel on the daily.

Jacob must be on a mission to see how many pairs of school shoes and sneakers he can ruin in the shortest amount of time possible it would seem

[GraemeE]

He may be cute but pretty soon we are going to have to have a heart to heart about wearing artificially distressed jeans
(Also time to install plug protectors again)

[Brian]

summer wardrobe purchased for Jacob last night should see him through the next 6-12 months size wise, 53 items inc socks underpants shorts tshirts shirts
today was a pair of air jordans which cost more than my air max
so glad we / I decided 1 was enough
