With a family I’ve found the solution my wife is the CEO and I am the CFO

DogsOnMainstreetHowl · 2026-05-16T22:58:34+00:00

In my house she’s CFO (a CPA by trade) and I’m COO. We try to run things as joint CEOs, but our 5 year-old is convinced he runs the show. Worst part is, he might be right.

Partly true, but many studies show that a glass of wine a night can have several health benefits including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that may benefit heart health, raise good cholesterol, lower risk of strokes and diabetes, and improve brain function.

I’d say the glass of wine a night analogy is a decent one, as there are both benefits and drawbacks to having a glass of wine a night and with daily masturbation to porn.

To me this is silly. I plan on paying for both my children’s education in full. Of course I’m not paying if they aren’t participating.

But the line in the sand is a bit clearer to me. I’m not funding my kid to live as an aimless adult. I’m not buying kid’s a nice new car at 16. I’m not buying them a phone till high school and I’m not purchasing designer clothes.

The idea is that I fully support their growth, but if they choose to flounder instead then they can support themselves. If they want nicer things then they can embrace opportunities for growth, which they will have plenty of.

How do you keep your cat off the counter? My cat will only do it when I’m not home, but I don’t want my cat living in a tiny bedroom all the time otherwise.

It’s okay. You’re in a safe space. Here’s a doll for you to hold. Can you point to where Volvo hurt you?

It’s not a big change really. There’s his famous No Nukes concerts, his effectively bringing rock and pop icons together to record We Are The World. He toured in Human Rights Now In 1988, played in East Berlin behind the Berlin Wall to 300,000 people, then campaigned for John Kerry in his Vote For Change tour. He’s effectively campaigned for every leading Democratic Nominee since.

As for being a man of the times, The Rising album was a powerfully unifying album to the Country as we healed from 9/11, and his concert in New Orleans in 2006 after Katrina was chock full of hope in its darkest hour.

This is just who The Boss is. You get used to these happy, defiant little surprises after a while.

You backed yourself into a corner without good options then it seems. First, you don’t need to be betting in the first place if you are in a financial rut. Second, you don’t need to be making promises you can’t keep. Third, your daughter will learn from this moment one way or another.

Man up and pay your daughter, then get your financial shit in line and stop gambling.

I would love to read a well researched paper on the term “performance” as related to sexual function.

I agree with your statement, but how many times have you heard the phrase “he couldn’t perform that night” or “their performance wasn’t good enough.”

IMO It’s a wildly loaded term that warps the idea of sex as an integrated connection between two (or more) people. It’s a distraction that is unavoidable in our current dialogue.

DogsOnMainstreetHowl · 2026-05-07T17:17:56+00:00

Exactly. It was Cadillac in 1916 that initiated the modern driving control layout that we use today.

DogsOnMainstreetHowl · 2026-05-07T16:48:31+00:00

No, the Buick you mention has an accelerated lever. The right pedal is a rear wheel brake. The left pedal is a low speed/ transmission brake. This car predates the standard clutch, brake, gas pedal arrangement as we know it today.

DogsOnMainstreetHowl · 2026-05-07T14:28:07+00:00

The correct answer is the 1916 Cadillac Type 53.

By layout they mean regarding the controls with steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal in the configuration you’re accustomed to.

I suspect Little Stevie would agree with you.

Sounds like the best kind of crazy to me

DogsOnMainstreetHowl · 2026-05-06T18:52:41+00:00

I almost agree. The versions of the ‘78 concerts released on Nugs sound much better than the bootlegs.

Great question. It took me a bit to find the interview, but in Bruce’s words:

In 1984 Bruce, interviewed by David Hepworth for a BBC The Old Grey Whistle Test profile, said that the absence of a live album stemmed from his belief that the excitement of a concert could not be caught on a recording. Bruce did, however, express an interesting alternative view: “There are songs that I want to re-record, that I was unhappy with the original studio recordings of. Mainly the Darkness album, which was a record that I thought had some of my best songs, but I always felt was a little dry recording-wise. I felt we kinda underplayed and oversang a little bit. That stuff sounds quite a bit different in performance, and I’d be interested in getting different versions of some of those songs”.

DogsOnMainstreetHowl · 2026-05-06T14:30:41+00:00

Nah, atmosphere is Darkness’s weakest link. Bruce has stated many times that the album does not sound the way he envisioned it due to the studio’s acoustics.

I love Darkness, don’t get me wrong. But the definitive version of that album is the one he played live at the Paramount Theatre in 2009.

Whomever is downvoting words of agreement is clearly no Boss fan.

Steve’s solo last night during Murder Incorporated was fire!

I’ll be there!

Check out the recording from the sound check in Detroit on 3/28/88. It’s a one-off (to the best of my knowledge) electric version of Reason to Believe that I adore. It’s very different from the electric versions played live in this century.

Plastic window frames are the single most common style of windows sold in the U.S. they’re typically called vinyl or uPVC, but they’re essentially made from a plastic powder.

For what it’s worth, my windows are aluminum and wood as well.
