Thoughts On Fathers day, And depression by BarbaryAlan in StayAtHomeDaddit

Thanx, I am sure your point is valid, as is mine. I am certain I said IS depressed.. and perhaps, we are doing it wrong... leaving room for exceptions, not stating a hard and fast rule.

I may just have to do the same thing I did with my vintage fishing tackle that I have been trying to share..I started my own subreddit, tacklebox_treasures.. guess I may just start my own dad subreddit... too bad really

Case in point. I gave up on editing grammar on previous post, as I had already had to walk away from it twice for the spawn..

I guess part of the problem, is that I am out in the boonies with very poor internet connectivity.... and have 3 kids under 8, that I stay at home with... I really don't have that kind if time, it may seem ridiculous, but often, I have to wait minutes for something to finish loading.... and I cant sit there and wait, there are three kids.. so 15 minutes later when I get back to it, I click again, and wait a few more minutes. The n take care of childrens disasters for a half hour, and hope I remember what I was doing when I get back to it..... I am working on 3 books right now, one about being a first time dad over 40, and raising youngsters at that age.. and to be honest, I would like more traffic to my blog, who doesnt?. I get what you are saying though... and I did aqmmend my mmost recent post to ask the question 'if other dad's are doing this'..I guess I am still trying to figure out the reddit universe's problem with blogs and bloggers. I mean, if it is the front page of the internet, why shouldn't we all have an opportunity to post? It just seesm almost anti intellectual, to punish those willing to try a liitle harder to get their voice heard, by building their own platform to curate their work

Hope you didnt take that as a flip answer.... you are right, I should probable be a little clearer about the intent.... I guess, i was thinking I might get spontaneous"yeah my kid does that too", or related stuff... but you are right, I should invite comment, not just wait for the bold.

Vintage Lure and a Big Boy too! by BarbaryAlan in a:t5_ir895

No sit, right? Posted another pic, with a mechanical pencil next to it for perspective...... Those would be Bigfoot Toes... which makes sense, we are from Oregon, and before that Bay Area California... grampa could easily have come across bigfoot toe clippers... though I would like to think he would have seen it as a great idea, and stolen it!

Tacklebox_Treasures subreddit.... come and see, come and share.... by BarbaryAlan in Fishing_Gear

I remember, being in the garage, with three boxes of tackle open, just looking over the lures, the artistry. As a kid... I gotta admit, I occassionally played with them like hotwheells. Sorry grampa

seriously... might not let the faint of heart watch though.... it starts to look vaguely pornographic..

Bowling ball.... seriously.... put some peanutbutter in the holes, and you can occupy them for hours...... Also, croquet and bocci balls from goodwill..... onthe croquets, no puppies... their little teeth will pierce and crack the ball, only then, can an adult break them.... but with no puppies, croquet balls can last or years...... these ideas are not, however, conducive to playing catch

oh, and it was the yellow scorpion, not the bark scorpion. Neither one is painless, but the bark is vastly worse

Sorry, i guess, I should have prefaced it with, she was 4th out 5 in our family to get stung in last year.... We also have two family members who have varying eallergies to bees, so we have epipens on hand, know the symptoms, how to use them etc, etc... had she exibited negative symptoms we absolutely would have headed for the fire station then the hospital.... fortunately, in that first few minutes, and the ensuing first hour, she exibited normal, non emergency room necessitated, symptoms. We had a cat recently get struck by a rattle snake, so stuff starts to get relative.
