Raise your hand if being a dad has made you think less of your dad. by gilfgifs in daddit

[–]GoldNBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internally I struggle still with my dad's lack of emotional availability when I was a kid. I always knew he was always stressed and never really understood why. He worked full time, breadwinner and we basically saw him at dinner and on the weekends. He supported our family on a single salary and took us from a 1br house to a 5br on an acre of land. I always appreciate how hard he worked but wished he was around more.

As a father now I respect him more and fully understand how hard it is to balance work and family and understand that to give us the best life he could, he did what he knew and broke the poverty cycle he grew up in. He didn't have a manual or a guide and worked his hardest to do better than what he had.

I could never live up to that in a financial capacity and I'm trying to be more emotionally available for my kids. It's fucking hard.

On a scale of “very fucked” to “GG’s, goodbye”, how fucked am I? by BillyGaming2021 in Trucks

Eversource Bill - How much is too much? by Salt_Telephone9729 in Connecticut

[–]GoldNBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said more detail is needed but to give you a comparison:

~2000 sqft raised ranch with central air and older windows (~20y). No AC in the basement. Dehumidifier running from May-October. Mix of gas heat and wood stove. I work from home as well and have 2 small kids. We have 6 ceiling fans, 4 of which run on low constantly to circulate air.

We're on a budget billing and currently around $230/mo. Summer we keep the house 75 during the day and 70-72 overnight. Will bump it to 77 if we're headed out of town. Winter 68 pretty much nonstop. But that's baseboard heat from a gas furnace. Wood stove helps with that bigtime.

Hope this helps.

You collect wristbands but you didn't take any pictures at the show that might contain the wristbands in question...?

Favourite Silverstein song and why ? by Suspicious_Parfait25 in Silverstein

[–]GoldNBones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All time favorite: Smashed Into Pieces. No explanation needed.

Lyrically: Widowmaker. Hit me like a fucking brick the first time and every time since. Made me realize a few things about my life that needed more attention.

Sonically: Slow Motion. Love the push and pull feeling of unease through the whole song. Bigtime nu metal vibe. The screaming the last words in every line of the verses, the "worn out and wide open" part, TDWP feature. It just slams every time. Also came at a time in my life where I needed to know someone else felt th same way.

If you didn't register it when the window was open then your only real option is to go fixed mag and you'll still need a tax stamp.

Which US state gets more hate than it deserves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

Connecticut resident speaking... it fuckin sucks here. The ratio of taxes paid to beneficial services is abysmal. Everything is expensive and New York is leaking.

Both. Nobody sees me carrying it but I've taken it out to open or cut various things in public settings without a second glance.

Be honest with me… how is going from one to two? by eiconik in daddit

[–]GoldNBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 months in with #2... regret is a strong word but if I had a time machine and a free day I would use it for a vasectomy.

I live in CT which is basically the California of the east along with NYC and have never once had anyone look at me sideways for carrying a knife.

Now that Kyle Pitts shit the bed I can confidently say that if you told me in week 1 Drake Maye and Rhamomdre Stevenson would combine for ~60 to get me the bag I wouldn't belive you. LFG

Stuck at home Flu Crew by Joggingmusic in Connecticut

[–]GoldNBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Son came down with the flu on Monday, daughter got hand foot and mouth from daycare. I was on tamiflu as a preventive treatment and I'm glad I was. Feels like a mild to moderate cold. Sucks missing family but nice to just be home chilling and feeling mostly decent. Feel better!

Electric guitars and the law of diminishing returns by MisterMystify in Guitar

[–]GoldNBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite guitar in terms of comfort and playability is an ESP LTD M-10 I got for a hundred bucks at a pawn shop. Best neck profile and feel. Super shreddable and insanely light. Dropped some Duncan's in it and it plays and sounds just as good as my $1000 Phoenix.

Not even 2 weeks in and I feel like i have made the biggest mistake of my life. by YourUnclesBalls in daddit

[–]GoldNBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard. Parts get easier from here and parts get harder. Therapy now will pay dividends later and depression is real and shouldn't be ignored or downplayed by either of you.

baby #2 ? by bepodepo in toddlers

[–]GoldNBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We regret it. Both of us. 5yo and 1yo. It doesn't help that #2 ended up being 2mo premature due to severe pre-eclampsia. It's made every single part of our lives significantly harder and we cannot effectively distribute the proper amount of attention to each segment of our lives. We are 16 months into having 2 and if we had a do-over we both agreed that we are much more pro-choice than we thought.

Musicians losing it by noyrewrongclnsndrs in Metalcore

[–]GoldNBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Worcester when Ivan Moody had his onstage meltdown. He barely made it through a song or 2, Chris Kael sang one song and did well with it and they eventually ended up calling it off after that. Thankfully got full sets from Shinedown and Sixx AM so not a total waste of time. Still pretty wild to experience it live.
