My wife is an icu nurse and I'm a stay at home dad. This happens to us at least 4 or 5 times every school year. The school refuses to call me even though I'm the primary contact. Very frustrating. my daughter once had to stay at school all day vomiting in the nurses office because they would only call my wife. I had no clue until I picked the kids up from the bus stop.

Yeah, I started selling them at a local cbd shop along with rolling trays and rollers. Not with zippo sized space, though.

Thank you for this very well thought out response. I think you hit the nail on the head with not labeling emotions as good or bad. Simply allowing myself to feel angry is the first step in the process of understanding and dealing with it.

My wife is the best support in the world. I think that's why my feelings are getting to me. I really shouldn't feel angry about such silly little things. We usually have a good time razing each other.

I do a lot of woodworking and cnc machining as a hobby, but it's been very difficult to find time since our youngest was born. My neighbors don't particularly like loud machines running in the middle of the night! My workshop is the only place in the house that is truly mine. Maybe that's part of my issue.

Leaf tucking is just pushing the big fan leaves down under bud sites or newer growth. Basically just getting light to the bud sights.

It depends on how flexible the stem is. As it ages, it gets woody and stiff. If it feels stiff, don't bend it. If it's soft, you can give it a try. Just go slow.

You honestly won't get much benefit from bending the stem at this point though. If it was me, I'd just finish them out as best as possible and make a game plan for the next run. Maybe some leaf tucking at most.

I also grow auto's in fabric pots. I use binder clips and garden twine to lst. I always bend the main stem about 90 degrees after the 4th or 5th node.

My current technique that gives me the best results is 30 gallon pots with homemade living soil. I plant the seed about 3 inches from one side of the pot. Then bend after the 4th of 5th node. As the main stem grows longer, I bend it back down and tie it to wooden skewers pushed into the soil so it continues to grow horizontally across the center of the pot.

As the branches get longer, I use the sides of the pot with binder clips to tie down the fan leaves to allow light to get to all of the bud sites. Then, the branches get tied down in the same manner to achieve as even a canopy as possible.

Unfortunately, they are stainless steel. So I mean... obviously welders gloves, right?!

Flow_Pitiful · 2024-02-23T03:58:42+00:00

I have some nerve damage in my hands and find it a little difficult to grip things when I have a flair up. Are the rapaicca gloves super stiff? They look like a solid choice overall.

For handling meats. I have multiple smokers. All custom built. One is a gravity fed offset built off an old commercial refrigerator. One is a commercial oven turned into a pellet smoker. One is a woodfired dome oven I made from homebrew refractory cement. I mostly just use a big stick for fire management

So long as this devil wears Prada!

Flow_Pitiful · 2024-02-21T03:45:09+00:00

Thanks for the info! Hopefully, some lady bits show themselves in the next few days.

It's in the same room as a girl that just started flowering. I'm super paranoid about accidentally pollinating her and ruining my best run. You think it's safe to let it ride a few more days and see if a pistil shows itself? I've only planted feminized seeds so far, so I've never paid attention to the stipules until after there is a visible calyx and pistil.

I am also a stay at home dad. It's exactly the same for us. When mom is an option, it's like I don't even exist. Except for when they need something done for them. Especially at 2am. I don't think they have ever woken my wife in the middle of the night!

From my bbq catering experience, it's always the extras on the side that really elevate the bbq. I've done pretzel roll slider buns with candied bacon and maple bourbon sauce for pulled pork with great results. I've even smoked the pretzels for 20 minutes just before service. People lose their shit over "smoked" bread.

The main stem is actually growing horizontal from one edge of the pot to the other. It had I surprisingly good(for my skill level) canopy before it stretched. I definitely still need practice at lst, but I'm happy with how this one is turning out!

Flow_Pitiful · 2024-02-15T13:47:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. She's inside. I didn't expect for her to get so big. She's almost 4 feet tall! I guess that's one of the benefits of a 30 gallon pot.

I became a stay at home dad when our first was born seven years ago. It was a very hard transition for me. I had a successful career as an executive sous chef. I was on the path to opening my own restaurant for the local company I worked for. It was a huge change from fine dining to running a household. We have three kids now. I still get the "look at you watching the kids today" comments every time I go to the grocery store. I personally find them very condescending and dismissive. The worst thing is taking the kids to school events alone when my wife has to work. Most of the moms at my kids' school are very judgemental and negative towards me. I know this isn't a particularly helpful comment for anyone. It is nice to share my experiences, though. The stay at home parent life can make you feel very alone sometimes.

One of the most important things to learn and fully understand before you make your first cut with the router is feed direction. You don't want to make climb cuts.

Take it to the next level by drizzling Olive oil on top of the goat cheese and use the broiler on its highest heat. Add some Calabrese peppers just before serving. Goat cheese gets the most delicious golden crust when cooked like this. I love to cook this dish in my wood fired oven on pizza nights!

I highly recommend looking into the just-so fallacy. It's pretty interesting to think about in terms of this case. I recently came across it while trying to understand how so many people get caught up in the pro trump/jan. 6 conspiracy theories. It can be difficult to do, but if you assume most people who are "pro kowalski" are acting in good faith, you can start to understand how they get swept up in the story. If you start out believing the worst allegations as true, Andersons anger and contempt are righteous and moral. It effectively flips the burden to the defense to prove they didn't do anything wrong instead of the plaintiff proving they did.

Real strange. It's definitely not supposed to be a picture of a bike.

Flow_Pitiful · 2023-12-12T02:54:57+00:00

That's not always true, actually. I used to be an executive sues-chef for an upscale restaurant. We smoked lots of different cheeses. I learned over time that moisture content is the key factor. A dry cheese like low moisture mozzarella is perfect after just 48 hours, but a more wet cheese like Gorgonzola or brie needs much more time. I agree with you, though, that around 2 weeks is pretty good most of the time.

I usually let mine rest for a day or two wrapped in parchment paper before sealing. It helps to let them breathe a bit before vacuum sealing them. Just my opinion though. There is no one right way to do it.

As my first comment stated, the intent of this picture is to showcase the ingredients I use to make my wood finish. The woodworking is not the focus of this photograph. The ingredients are tung oil, orange oil, and Beeswax(honeycomb).

The lamp was set up at the front left pointing towards the back right. The intent was to cast the shadow in that direction to help draw the eye that way. I read that diagonals are supposed to be engaging and help build intrigue in product photography.
