@GraemeE Great photo!

[GraemeE]

@Danimal506 thanks man

As a rule of thumb if I ever post a good pic it's usually one my wife took

[Danimal506]

@GraemeE Hahah she’s got the eye

I think my boy might be teething….

Any tips?

[goosehd]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot frozen teethers, Sophie the giraffe, and a soaked baby cloth that has been frozen were always tricks that worked for us.

[goosehd]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot ...also my knuckles...I swear that one time they drew blood

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@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

[GraemeE]

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.

@Matt imagine how Katie must feel
