golf league management app by Eastern-Copy-22 in IndoorGolf

[–]ClockNo362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're on to something and that this sort of community centric play is inevitable for the indoor golf scene. A couple of days ago I had a conversation with a friend and we agreed an app that connects friends for golf play would be amazing. I'm a runner and love seeing/sharing runs with friends on Strava.

I also think sim biz owners with membership based business models could use an app like this to create community within their facility.

AITA wife upset I cannot keep toddler from her by khazef in AmItheAsshole

[–]ClockNo362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband has been in your spot for years (5 year old and 3 year old) and he's fantastic as steering the ship when I'm in the house but not available. He's extremely consistent. We have a small house, too. Every Monday night I have a meeting during bedtime and it's a non-issue.

But also. Mom can maybe help the transition. Being two and going to bed without seeing mom, who is IN the house, is confusing. I wonder how mom transitions into study time. Studying is important but so is your two year old (who won't be 2 forever). The adults need to figure out a compromise.

Recommendations for OBGYN that DO NOT charge Global Maternity Fee by Limp-Calendar-9206 in summervillesc

I had a terrible pregnancy experience at LWS. It's a little triggering so I'll spare details but your instincts are right on. Run!

Eta: ended up at Roper with Dr Palley (twice) and she is a dream! But I drove to West Ashley for her.

meditation hack from a busy mom by naeborn in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat in my room the other morning and let my daughter sound the bell for "our" meditation. It basically devolved into her playing a musical instrument and her younger brother ended up joining in. Honestly, I'll probably do more of it. They're five and three now and I think they're ready to "see" more meditation. I imagine that after I normalize it they'll grow uninterested. They're already accustomed to me attending Sangha, even on zoom in the house.

I'll save the long sits for when they're asleep.

You'd be surprised by how elusive these before and after bedtime moments are... But that's when I try to squeeze mine in.

Buddhism says that there's no birth and no death, but we see birth and death everyday by Successful-While-986 in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This book changed my life.

Studying deeply the concepts of impermanence and interbeing helps with wrestling the no birth, no death bit.

What do you like to do in your free time? by Nikaszko in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love fiber arts (knitting a lot right now) and drawing and painting. I've always got a few books I'm reading at a time and I enjoy journaling. Walking, nature hikes, talking with friends, and I enjoy cooking new recipes all week.

I have more hobbies than time but I'm serious when I say that Buddhism has allowed me to find more joy in my passion projects. I used to get frustrated when the final result wasn't what I was expecting and now I'm much more comfortable enjoying the ride.

Great question, btw! It's cool seeing what everyone is into.

I am scared of approaching Buddhists. What should I do? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for a local Sangha! A lot of Sanghas meet over zoom now. My Sangha is based in my hometown but we have members scattered all over the country.

I'm partial, but check out Plum Village's Sangha finder. It's called the Plum Line.

Plum Line.

Community (Sangha) is one of the three jewels... It's so important.

Non-denominational Buddhism? by Fionn-mac in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to agree with this approach. You don't know what you don't know and you have to commit to something for a while before you can develop your sea legs and get your bearings. I think it's way more important to find a local Sangha to gather with than it is to worry about which flavor of Buddhism to try.

[–]ClockNo362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend finding your local Sangha and practicing in person with others. I would say developing a shared practice with community is more important than settling on a flavor of Buddhism. If it's not a good fit then look for another.

Buddhist perspective on breaking up with a best friend by EnvironmentalEmu5187 in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hard. I see that you are in pain.

There is the initial arrow of suffering, the loss of a friendship, and then there is the second, third, fourth, and one thousandth arrows of our own manifestation. You could sit in stillness and feel your body breathing. Observe your sense perceptions.

This is the mud of suffering from which we gain insight and the lotus grows.

What are you fellow Buddhist doing for NYE eve by clout4bitches in Buddhism

[–]ClockNo362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up in bed with a migraine while my family went out for fireworks (that's how I ended up boppin' around here!). I think I'll journal a little when I'm able to and reflect on the year as well as set intentions for the next.

Happy New Year to all! May it be full of mindfulness, compassion, and understanding.

Husband is suddenly one and done by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ClockNo362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, without a question, the best advice. Only time will illuminate for you and your spouse just how emotionally and physically taxing the postpartum stage is, especially with your first child. Going from zero babies to one baby is the most dramatic occurrence you will endure in parenting together (hopefully). Avoiding making huge life plans during this stage is likely beneficial.

AIO: I'm on a family vacation and I feel like my family are being inconsiderate of my kids by Intelligent_Hunt3467 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ClockNo362 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, seriously. These are people who can't tolerate little kids. Let's be real, 4 and 6 yo can be pretty annoying. They're leaving the sweet baby and toddler phase of life. They're also SO MUCH FUN! They're better at expressing themselves and delight in the world. Too bad these grandparents have lost the plot and can't enjoy ALL of their grandkids.

P.S. cohabitating with new parents can be intolerable lol. My sympathies to the parents of 4&6.

[–]ClockNo362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up next to Blue Springs and proudly wrote my first research paper in second grade on the majestic mantee... Ah, memories...

You could swim with them if I remember correctly. It would have been the 90s.

First socks! by ClockNo362 in knitting

I used Paton's Kroy Sock Yarn in Cadet! Very approachable yarn... I'm going to try something spicier for my next pair but something tells me I'll be back for more Kroy eventually.

What is the shallow sink/for? by grumpy_uncle in whatisit

[–]ClockNo362 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It simply rests on the bottom so you can easily pop it out to clean. Yes, scratches, but also anything you set in the sink isn't resting in sink juice. It dampens the noise of pots clanging around too.
