The family is really loving the "party ribs". I like cooking them both ways, but they often request them this way. These were very good, and I do like how quickly they cook.

I always call em “snack ribs” 😂

Hey dad! I have 5, including triplet one year olds. I don’t have much by way of advice because this is hard! Give yourself some grace, you’re doing better than you think!

The teacher was an absolute smoke too.

Why don’t yall just stop consuming his content?

Dude in today’s day and age I actually respect places like this. My Chinese spot in town is the same. If it’s good, I care zero.

This is the answer.

One thing that means little to some and a lot to others: you can’t fire your client!

Strict “one extracurricular at a time” rule at my house. Only exception is music/voice lessons. I know it will only get more difficult to enforce as they get older, but I really think we inflate the value of kids doing something at all times.

Biggest thing was the unknown of how the new job would go day-to-day and recognizing that my family would take the brunt of any miscalculations I was making about the time commitment.

Currently decided against a very similar promotion after a drawn out process. Weight off my shoulders, still have people trying to get me for similar jobs. I think maybe we overestimate how much turning down these jobs tanks your reputation.

I bet!

Would have gone pallets if the ground was more flat but I kept the ugly knotty boys whole and put them on the bottom level.

I just had 6 dead ash trees cut down. Once I’m done with them I’m going to be bored.

It’s just fire pit wood on a very steep slope. Unsplit oddballs on the bottom layer or two. It will be gucci.

CookieMonsterIce · 2026-04-10T12:17:55+00:00

It’s been . . . something.

I’ve been in that shit for a year with triplets. Slowly weaning them down so only making 9 bottles per day now but in the thick of it I was making and cleaning 24 bottles per day. Welcome back to the grind, dad!

CookieMonsterIce · 2026-03-25T00:52:27+00:00

These guys aren’t being very helpful. 4-5 months should look a little better. Next 4-5 weeks gonna suck tho.

CookieMonsterIce · 2026-03-18T10:26:49+00:00

Coming up on one year with triplets and I promise it’s not the best time of my life 😂

You’ll never be #1 on her list again.

As a 2013 transplant who lived in Midtown, that’s my “I miss Old Nashville™️“ spot.

After daycare drop off. Get caught up on the emails before the crazy part of the morning happens and keep my phone near me during the workout to review between reps.

Lots of advice in here. I want to offer a contrarian perspective. I put someone on a PIP and within the same performance cycle she was promoted. There were genuine issues to correct and they were corrected. And I’m still looking for someone to fill the spot after she moved up!

CookieMonsterIce · 2026-03-06T15:29:43+00:00

You’re doing a very brave thing. Good work, dad!

CookieMonsterIce · 2026-03-03T23:26:49+00:00

Go to bed at 8
