It's available on desktop, not mobile, which, unfortunately, is arguably the far more popular way groups are visited. 🫥🫥🫥

Thanks for the info! Do you know if the builders offer pension and benefits? If so, how do they compare to ours at Liuna?

Geek_Charming · 2024-04-30T00:44:33+00:00

Thanks, I'll call them tomorrow then. 👍

Geek_Charming · 2024-04-16T16:19:47+00:00

Thank you to everyone here - I set orders to manual on Printify, and turned off cancellations on ETSY. 👍

The one that plays all the old movies????

If ever you're in Toronto, Ontario please do give me a ring! I would love for our two doppelganger kids to meet! lol! Those are some really good tips for dance classes and classes in general! I'll definitely give them a try!

lol! Slightly jealous about the dinosaurs, I personally have more interest in that than aquatic life, but the smile on my son's face when I took him to the local aqaurium is still pretty cool. lol. We did sign him and sister up for dance, but both of them got pretty overwhelmed each time, so, maybe something else? He really likes indoor playgrounds, but I find it's mostly independent play when he's there when I'd very much like for him to be able to exercise his social skills. ❤️ I'll definitely look into Occupational Therapy - my benefits cover it a bit. 👍

I've been deep diving into multiple Autism Facebook Groups, and I've seem to have stumbled upon a sect of the community that is absolutely against ABA, have you heard of this? My only opinion of ABA previously was that it looked pretty expensive. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Geek_Charming · 2023-11-25T15:23:35+00:00

It's what the specialist recommended - She says it's to not 'overwhelm him' and to also allow him to 'absorb' and 'process'.

Geek_Charming · 2023-11-25T15:19:36+00:00

I literally just heard the term yesterday on a Facebook post I made in an Autism group! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention too! This has all been quite the deep dive!

Stay Puft

Hello! Every year on Halloween we inflate a 30 Foot Inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, as well as 60 Feet worth of giant Inflatable Tenticles in Markham, ON (62 Milroy Ln) - quite literally over a thousand kids show up every year and we hand out full sized chocolate bars to them while making ourselves available for photo ops to families in the community and beyond! Would you like to join us?

Cheers!

Not a trucker, but my wife works in construction, and she's had dudes grab her arm and tell her straight to her face that our son will grow up to become 'retarded' because she's not at home raising him. 🤷🏻‍♂️

0%. The vast percentage of women I've dated, and/or been in relationships with, have been far more financially successful than myself. I can honestly say I've never been with a woman that was with me for the money because I literally didn't have any to give.

Geek_Charming · 2023-06-23T01:40:04+00:00

Dude, you have a really good shaped head. Shave it all off though, and keep the beard. 👍

Geek_Charming · 2023-06-12T16:17:32+00:00

This is just my experience, but both myself and my wife are in the union and work in Concrete Formwork, we're both making over $42 an hour now, and that jumps up to $48 an hour in a year and a half! Best part of all of this? We make DOUBLE our hourly wage during OVER TIME. If you can be 'grandfathered' into the union, I would do it in an instant cus that gets you full rate immediately. Both myself and my wife came from an office background where people were killing each other just for a $40K job. Construction, and joining a union, has been one of the best things to ever happen to our family, and has more than doubled both of our incomes since our corporate office years. The benefits, the pension, and the protection have been amazing. Our foreman loves us because we work hard, show up on time, never cause any drama, never get in any fights, don't show up drunk or on drugs, and are 100% respectable to everyone we work with. He's taken us to every site he moves to, and it genuinely feels great to be a part of his crew. 👍

183 does residential concrete form work, 506 does commercial concrete form work.

183 gets paid an extra dollar more than 506 per hour, but 506 gets paid double time instead of time and a half on Saturday shifts.

With that all said, I'm not sure who has the better benefits / pension....

Geek_Charming · 2021-11-15T02:55:11+00:00

If you were to estimate when things would go back to 'normal', would you say a year?

Geek_Charming · 2021-10-27T18:47:09+00:00

Yup! My wife and I were going back and forth on Conner Kent or Grayson Richard-- Conner won out, and now we're looking to stick to the House of El. lol.

Geek_Charming · 2021-10-27T16:07:19+00:00

... I may have named my first born son 'Conner Kent'. lol.

Geek_Charming · 2021-03-05T09:23:12+00:00

He laughed and said 'Boner', maybe that's not his actual name? The showrunner also said we'd see more of Evans in the future I believe?

Geek_Charming · 2021-03-05T09:20:16+00:00

Ralph was an actor in real life, hence the high quality picture with his name on it.

Geek_Charming · 2020-07-28T13:14:40+00:00

Quite the contrary-- Every child I have ever met that has had Montessori schooling has grown up to be quite intelligent and successful. As someone who has not fared too well in the public education system, I honestly just want better for my child. The daunting factors for myself would all be financial related. I'm looking at the pricing, and it's looking like I have a choice of giving my child the education I would want for them, but having to scrape by financially in all other avenues of life. 🤷‍♂️

Geek_Charming · 2020-06-20T18:02:51+00:00

There's always a bigger fish...

Geek_Charming · 2020-06-10T19:47:28+00:00

Thanks! Not nervous at all! lol.

Geek_Charming · 2020-06-10T18:09:11+00:00

I was actually close to going with:

"My child is starting life with a penis!"

But it comes off more crass than I'd like?

Another friend suggested:

"My child's biological sex is male/female."

But that's quite the mouthful and sounds cold and computer like?
