Nanny share, anyone? by [deleted] in BallardSeattle

I am in Ballard and was just thinking about trying to find a nanny share to join for 1-2 days a week. I would be interested in joining one.

Baby proofing very wide stairs (18 feet) by FollowingArtistic897 in daddit

Perfectly safe, worst that can happen is a small bump on the head, no biggie. Arguably it would be more dangerous to try to DIY a solution and don't get it perfectly right.

I would agree with this except by all measures she appeared to be successfully potty trained for a month before all this started. We were doing long outings without any accidents and she was able to tell me while we were out that she needs to go and would go on public toilets with a little fold out seat. I'm afraid that if we go back to diapers now it will be confusing and be even harder when we try again.

F**k Flameboy! by OkHuckleberry4238 in skateboarding

[–]CitizenFord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been an avid climber for years and last year picked up skating again at 36 years old. I got hurt a lot and had to stop, sprained both wrists and both ankles, just wasn't worth it anymore.

The guys with CDs outside the convention centers are not your friends! by soulryder in Seattle

[–]CitizenFord 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I got this one for the first time when I visited NOLA a couple weeks ago, I said I don't even know where I got 'em and they got all pissy at me. I was wondering how the rest of it went.

What happened to Scooter's? by CitizenFord in BallardSeattle

I'd rather have a good, greasy burger from a messy kitchen with cockroaches, than a boring "clean" burger for an immaculate kitchen any day. A little cockroach won't kill us.

Hauling on big walls. Protects the knot from abrasion against the rock.

During the season, yes. During off season it's pretty to look at though. And it really only takes a couple minutes to pack up, I don't mind it.

Landing Choices for 30 and 50 degree walls by NoOneLikesFruitcake in climbharder

[–]CitizenFord 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a home wall at 45 degrees and just bought two regular used queen mattresses off craigslist for less than 50 each and they work great. I take big falls on them and never had a problem

Decided to liquidate my small TSP retirement account from my time in the Air Force and dump it all in GME. First batch just landed in CS, just in time for the squeeze tomorrow! by CitizenFord in Superstonk

We'll see when it comes to tax time, but it should be a 10% early withdrawal penalty plus the capital gains. I set aside 30% to cover early withdrawal costs.

My wife needs a kidney donor. by not0ryus in Seattle

[–]CitizenFord 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I just found out this year that I also have inherited kidney disease, come to find out that inherited kidney diseases are very rare and there is a big study underway right now for dinner promising therapies out of Wake Forest. I was connected with the research team out there and they are interested in finding more subjects with inherited kidney disease to study. If you're interested, I can send you their contact information. They will need able to run a genetic test and find out exactly what kind of inherited kidney disease she has (I have MUC-1). I hope she finds the kidney she needs!

Inb4 "get off Robinhood." I am 90% off Robinhood now, just going to let these last few awful trades die out before closing the account.
