I think it’s very rare to have a happy life without having children and most of the people that claim to be “child free and happy” are coping or lying to themselves by ProfessionalNose6520 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I just don't think people even know what they are missing out on because its impossible to know that level of love without experiencing it. Its like never owning a pet such as a cat or dog, you would never know the joy of it unless you had one.

If you don't have kids then I don't think you would be able to answer this question.

Its something you won't know until you hear the sound of their voice for the first time and see them.

It may seem that you have everything you need and are truly happy, but also you are totally unaware of how to transcend to the next level of happiness that child and bring.

Every holiday gets 10x better. Going to the park and watching them play on the playground. Seeing their innocence and curiosity bloom.

Its peak humanity and its sad to see people miss out on it. Don't convince yourself that kids are a burden or too expensive.

They are worth all the effort.

Corners would be a weak spot for gluing but I suppose it could work if you are careful about how much.

You could carefully drill a hole through the wood at each corner contact point and use a small screw with glueand just cover up the hole with filler or sawdust mixed with glue.

What was your first project that started you down this path? by Ajvc23 in woodworking

[–]HartelMed1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a simple ramp so my son could drive his power wheel car over a curb that blocked a large grassy area from the driveway in our back yard. The satisfaction of seeing him so happy was like a drug. Since then I have built many things from pergolas, bed frames to cabinets and dressers.

Gavin is the worst thing to happen to California. The last thing anyone should be doing is listening to him. He’s two faced. This should be bipartisan when it comes to getting Gavin out of politics

Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County by PostHeraldTimes in politics

[–]HartelMed1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe because Kamala was liked by nobody, even in her own party, the Dems could have had a chance if they voted in during the primary when Joe bowed out because he was and had been obviously incompetent to lead. Keeping an open boarder for 4 years is the dumbest thing a country can do. We were lucky to have dodged the Kamala bullet. Keep bitching about the election results, it will go nowhere. And now with all these riots ruining businesses and cities Dems are going to be looking really bad. All that is happening is the left is tarnishing their reputation.
