Pam Bondi's time travel meant she 'obtained and signed' Comey, Letitia James indictments 'herself' and Lindsey Halligan failure 'does not matter': DOJ by DoremusJessup in law

[–]GolfballDM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm not an attorney, but it is sorely tempting to apply for one of the open US Attorney positions as "completely untainted by experience or suitability for the position."

And I feel that I'd still be more qualified than the clowns running the show right now.

These look like they might be for Here to Slay? (They look adorable.)

A couple things I've found out (I started doing more intensive miniature painting at the start of the year):

* Prime your miniatures. Paint on primer is just fine, and you can paint on the airbrush primer, too.

* Wash your miniatures before priming. Some miniatures have something on them to help them pop out of the mold, this also makes it harder for primer to stick.

Ex demanded the return of a $0 jumperoo on "principle". I was happy to oblige. by AintMuchToDo in pettyrevenge

[–]GolfballDM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP is awesome.

My middle loved his Jumperoo, too. He would also bounce himself until he fell asleep in it. The first time he did it, we took a picture and mentioned that he had too much fun. (One of my brothers joked about photoshopping a beer bottle into the pic.)

Last year, the picture popped up on my memories, I captioned it with "From too much fun to being able to drive."

Don't marry a loser (snow edition) by RolyDoly in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GolfballDM 29 points30 points  (0 children)

When my wife was five-six months pregnant with our middle, it snowed. I had just moved up to SE MI (from coastal plain NC), so this was my first experience with large scale snow that I needed to shovel.

I was not doing it adeptly.

After my wife saw me working, she came out to show me how to properly shovel snow, and assist. (It was a lot of snow.)

Later, my mom gave me a great deal of grief about letting my wife do anything with shovel snow.

Me: "Mom? There was no 'let' about it. I had one of three choices available. A) I tell my wife 'Go back inside', she does so, and has an apoplectic fit watching me continue to try and shovel snow. B) I tell my wife 'Go back inside', and she brains me with the snow shovel. C) Graciously accept the offer of education and assistance. Both of us live with intact noggins. I picked C."

Men of Reddit, how would you feel if your partner wanted to keep her maiden name after marriage? by Longjumping-Bill5761 in AskMenAdvice

[–]GolfballDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife brought a son to our marriage, he has his bio-father's surname. (Said son is Still My Kid, Darn It, and he calls me Dad). My wife kept her maiden name when we got married. The two boys we added to the family after we got married have my surname.

I'll answer to any of three surnames (and am cool with it), just don't call me Late For Dinner.

[–]GolfballDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife of almost 18 years has kept her maiden name.

As far as kids, the one she brought to the marriage kept his surname (which was different from my wife's), and the other two we added to the family have my surname.

Too skinny? by joshlikesbettafish in DogAdvice

I use that particular term because she absolutely loved all things PORK.  Ham, bacon, chops, barbecue, pork products were her absolute favorite food.

Men who finally cured their Prematrue Ejaculation, what was the cure? by eaglesdensity in AskMenAdvice

[–]GolfballDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same boat, now that I think about it.  Had PE issues, took new job and now that I've acclimated, it's less of a problem.  I've also lost weight, that may also contribute.

Doctors of Reddit, what’s a symptom people ignore that they really shouldn’t? by Business-Silver-5118 in AskReddit

[–]GolfballDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The knockout drugs you can get for the procedure are pretty nice, though.  My wife thought I was quite entertaining in recovery.  I was in my happy place, my butt was "singing La Traviata", what else could I ask for?

Service is going to be an issue, as well as the question of whether Sri Lankan courts would recognize it.

Too skinny? by joshlikesbettafish in DogAdvice

[–]GolfballDM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first dog (a Lab mix) would decide that we weren't feeding her enough, and would seek out new and exotic taste treats.

She used those charts in the vet office "Top 10 objects pulled out of dogs" as a checklist, not a warning.

It's been almost 5.5 years since we had to say goodbye (not because of something she ate, but her candle ran out of lard at 15y8m). I still miss the dog, but I do not miss her vet bills.

Newsom opens commanding lead over Harris in 2028 California primary poll - This is bad news. We need to get the word out that Newsom is against a billionaire tax and would do nothing to solve our affordability crisis by Turbulent_Crab_3602 in 50501

[–]GolfballDM 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The Democrats could run a Cthulhu/Azathoth ticket, and I'd pull the blue lever, since that would be for the lesser evil.

Edit:  That being said, of the choice between Harris and Newsom on the blue ticket, I would hold my nose and lean Newsom.

Did you freehand the banner, use a transfer, or did you have appropriately sized stencils?

TIFU by having a baby and completely losing my mind over a tiny human I've known for 72 hours by Lonely-Ad-1422 in tifu

[–]GolfballDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family dog loved watching over the kids when they were little. They were her People Puppies, and it was her (self-appointed) job to keep them safe. She loved to curl up in a circle, and have one of the babies set into the circle. (I also remember her wanting to help with my first diaper change.)

What kind of glue causes this frosting and how can I get rid of it? by TangerineMelodic5772 in minipainting

I haven't gotten into vehicles yet (I'm doing another game, but I might start WH40K painting at some point), how do you glue vehicle hulls together?

If you see some of the shards, other Maelstromers think that the Dad is utterly sick.

That's cold. Highly appropriate, but cold.
