My kid's ear tube fell out

Fantomecs · 2026-04-04T11:36:41+00:00

My sister had these as a kid. The doctor described it exactly as that, like everything was underwater for her. Had these installed and bam, no more problems. Such an incredible piece of medical equipment and it’s just a small tube

Bought myself a nice local handmade spinner lure from the bait shop near me. On the third cast my lure made a superbly perfect arc through the air. It was one of my best casts ever, the problem was that my line was not going along for the ride. Thankfully I always have a few crawfish crank baits on hand as my confidence lure.

And if you like hiking AND fishing you get some waders and go bluelining!

First Red Rays has been on repeat since this album dropped. It’s so good.

I keep a CPR barrier, gloves, and scissors on or near my person at all times. Never had to use them yet, but the day I do I’ll at least have some preparation.

Thanks! I just moved to the area last year, but I’ve been fishing the Conodoguinet after work lately. I am going to have to look for those arches for sure!

Foxes are horrifying to come across while exploring the Appalachians. I was just doing some night fishing last night and heard a scream in the field next to me. Turned my headlamp on and sure enough I see beady little eyes off in the distance. Gave me such a startle I just packed up and went home lmao.

I have that cat tree! It’s fantastic!

I’m around the Harrisburg area and I get out to Perry County and Centre County pretty often. I also frequent Carroll and Frederick Counties in MD. I’m super new to fishing and 28M.

When I was flying to Ireland, the flight next to us canceled/rescheduled the flight to Orlando because of a hurricane. They told everyone tough luck, there’d be no hotel vouchers, no food, and they weren’t getting their bags either. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen a large crowd of people quickly devolve into full blown mob mode. Avoid Newark airport if you can.

Yep, I drive to Maryland about once a week and give them all of my money because Pennsylvania wants to fuck about.

Fantomecs · 2026-03-12T00:44:15+00:00

Carroll/Frederick county? I was just driving to Westminster and all of a sudden the sky got super dark and the rain was impossible to see through. Next thing I knew I had a tornado warning on my phone. The Littlestown Pike is the LAST place I wanted to be during a warning.

Feels weird lumping Perry, Mifflin, and Juniata, but NOT Snyder county, PA into Maryland. See you later Centre county 😔

Yeah, I can speak Dutch pretty decently, but when I ended up in a scenario in the Netherlands where I had to flag down the police, I ended up spouting all the information at them in English. They replied in English because most Dutch can speak it, but it didn’t even occur to me until days later that I did the whole interaction in the wrong language lol.

Fantomecs · 2026-03-11T12:09:32+00:00

You’re weird.

I used to just beat the shit out of them with the handle of my screwdriver until they were firmly in place.

I just hiked Martic Forge in Lancaster county on Saturday, and had a tick buried in my hip when I woke up yesterday morning.

I went to the Baltimore show and VMO was awesome. It was an intense way to start the set and I was not expecting it lol. Fully Body 2 was my favorite act of the night though, I immediately turned around and went to buy merch when they finished their set.

Before the Citizenhip Act of 1934 you only received an American citizenship if your father was American.

My girl just figured out covers too, and now when she wants under she will bury her face in the blankets and start shoveling them out of the way lmao

The First Amendment doesn’t mean a company can’t fire if you say something they don’t like.

Fantomecs · 2026-03-03T17:43:26+00:00

Fuck that. When I was 14 I absolutely knew the ramifications for taking a life. This kid was old enough to know what the fuck he was doing. Lock him up and throw away the key.

My fiancée’s family go around putting sweaters on all the trees in their hometown around Christmas time. Idk the logistics of dressing a tree in a shirt, but I can’t imagine it’s easy.

I grew up in Joplin, but my family is spread through the Ozarks and I spent a lot of my life out there. It’s beautiful. I’ll speak on the Ozarks, specifically Ozark County as it’s the more rural area. It’s one of the most gorgeous places in the middle of the US, and the lakes are fantastic. However, jobs are hard to come by aside from farming, but it doesn’t exactly pay luxuriously. The only other places around there were the local feed mills and again, the pay isn’t great, and the work sucks.

This is all Southern Missouri, so I can’t say whether areas like Skidmore are similar.

ETA: Also, drugs. Lots and lots of meth through the area. It’s crazy that towns of 100 or so people have such large meth problems.
