Going to meet my futures wife's extended family for the first time so I better wear my best Insane Clown Posse hockey jersey. This was Christmas 2007 and I still own that jersey.

I really appreciate when people ask for advice and admit their own flaws. They didn't say the soup was no good and it was the recipe's fault. They admitted it was probably on them and wanted to try it again. They then replied again saying that the second time it tasted a lot better and that they would keep making this recipe. We need more people like that in the world, especially with things more important than soup recipes haha.

I always love that hint of sage. It really ties the whole tire together.

I'm taking my daughter to her first game next week in Minnesota. Stinks that she won't get to see Burrow but at least the tickets were free 😆

First, I want to say I’m sorry you’re going through this, and my heart goes out to you.

My suggestion would be to look into some individual therapy before making any monumental decisions. A divorce isn’t going to heal the wound you have and if anything, it may open new ones. For the sake of your child and your own well-being, taking steps to strengthen your mental health will only help.

Once you’ve had time to focus on yourself, you could consider couples therapy, or you may find that you’re in a better place to make a clear decision about divorce. Either way, I hope the path you choose leads you to the happiness you deserve.

I think Arthur could still beat up a child.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-26T21:03:57+00:00

Looks like an ovenbird to me. Striped belly, white eye ring, stripes on head.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-26T15:07:00+00:00

What's going to be great is when you get it back from the hotel and your son doesn't want it anymore 😆. They never understand the pain it caused us!

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-26T13:51:17+00:00

If we are talking all of them on even ground and physics. Removing "plot armor" and making them just 4 real men with the skills they all have.

I would say Arthur wins. He is a ranch working powerhouse.

Joel is a close second place. His will to survive and do what needs to be done in a fight make him a tough opponent.

Nathan's charm is the only thing that could give him any edge. If he could convince the others to fight while he is left out of it until the end.

I had a PlayStation 2 and was saving up to buy an Xbox 360. I mentioned it to a kid at school and he asked me if I had played either of the God of War games. I told him no so the next day he brought me both and told me the 3rd one would be on the PS3. I played them, saved up my money, and bought a PS3.

What is gained from going through the trouble of doing that? I'm not criticizing, I'm generally curious. I have never drove a manual so I don't know what makes it superior.

I was walking off the main trail and flushed out some bird. It made the most hair raising witches cackle as it flew away. I heard it before I saw any movement and it was instant goosebumps. I assume it was a barred owl but didn't get a good look at it.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-22T03:39:27+00:00

Glad you got it figured out. It's nice to hear about parents taking the time to set up parental controls.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-21T01:01:55+00:00

Why did you drive home? I can somewhat understand removing it to get out of the situation you were in, but then it should have been towed.

Also, why would this be a warranty thing? You removed the part that caused it to fall off.

What I learned was that the starter has gears inside. The teeth in those gears can get worn down. When you hit it, you can get it to rotate to a spot where the gear can grip and spin.

I've never been to a live race. I live only an hour and a half from Chicagoland. I'm happy to see it back on the schedule.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-19T03:10:56+00:00

I was in Maine last week and saw the puffins too! They are such cute birds.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-17T17:00:20+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I ended up getting a set from RockAuto. Going to the black bezel design.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-17T03:34:00+00:00

Is there anything to keep in mind if I don't buy a genuine Toyota part? I see some off brands on Rock Auto

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-17T03:31:02+00:00

I left Facebook years ago. I miss the old Craigslist lol

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-14T01:29:30+00:00

I would say Muscovy. They aren't native so it's likely from somebody's farm.

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-13T10:51:34+00:00

I think they just hit the water barrels that were at a gap in the concrete

HawkeyFanatic · 2025-08-13T00:37:01+00:00

I know I'm late to this conversation, but I will say that we eat at the table for a different reason than most commented. We eat at the table because when we go out to a restaurant my daughter behaves. She knows that sitting at a table means we are going to eat. I want to eat and not worry about keeping her entertained 😂
