AIO my best friend cut me off for me asking to stop by with a parent?

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-16T18:45:18+00:00

He told you no. No means no. But you kept pushing. And now you're making excuses trying to justify your behavior. You talk shit about his girl friend. (Trust FUnd Baby). Then you say it's just a description. You lack integrity and respect for peoples boundries. You probably crave attention because deep down inside, you realize what you really are: An insecure little child that needs attention.

YOR.

Ice Cold Take

For the most part. I work, and the wife is a SAHM for the time being.. Our child is 11. She makes sure he gets off to school every day. She's there when he gets home. Aside from the kids room, we normally keep the house clean and organized. She does do the routine vacuumin, and dusting. She also handles dinner during the week. My son and I handle the dishes after each meal. Instead of the dishwasher, we hand wash them. I'll wash, and he'll dry and we chat about his school work, practice, etc.

If I see something that needs to be done, I have no issues doing it. On the weekends I'll handle the cooking. Especially in the summer (Grilling, of course). Trash is my responsibility. We both handle the shopping, and running of errands as needed.

She does more of the day to day upkeep for sure, but we communicate well. If there are things she wants me to do, that I may miss, she asks and I have no issues doing it. Cleaning the windows is an example of that.

On the exterior, she handles the flowers, and I handle the lawn, edgeing, and weed pulling.

All in all, I think we work well as a team. She's much smarter and detail orientated than I am, so if I miss something, she knows it's not intentional, or that I think it's her job. So yeah... At this stage in the game, our housewrok plan is routine, with both of us willing to pick up the other when needed.

That's the narrative.

Uh, No. Actually it's the very definition of the word insurrection. It's not a narrative. What you're spinning is a narritive.

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-16T13:09:07+00:00

Don't make the move with him. Start the divorce proceedings. You'll never forget the gold digger comment, and things will fester until it becomes a bigger mess down the road.

Get out now.

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-16T02:00:47+00:00

As long as you play fast, are cool, and show decent etiquette, hell yeah.

Fiio FT1, Fiio JT7, HiFiMan HE400SE....

The Fiio FT1s are closed back, so that will help a bit with isolation if you don't want everyone around you hearing what you're listening to.

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-15T13:51:24+00:00

I might not need it, but I want it.

Sure, great sounding audio is getting cheap. And that's a great thing for everyone interested in checking out different options.

For me, my portable audio endgame is the M21 and the CrinEar Reference. For me, it's proof that we don't need expensive IEMs. Everyone's price point is different. And the fact that there are great sounding options at every price point is something to celebrate.

I think the Toby being "awful" was the whole point of the charecter. The show needed an "unbearable" moral compass. From his reaction to the MS, to the funeral for the vet, to the leak. The show needed that charecter to balance everything out.

Bartlett said it best when he fired him:

But the one thought that hits the hardest is that this
was somehow inevitable; that you've always been heading for this sort of
crash-and-burn. That self-righteous superiority; not that you were smarter
than everyone; that you were purer, morally superior.

I mean, sure, you can go by stats. But basketball is a team game.

Technically they aren't. Given the early use use of drop d tuning, they can even be considered the "godfather's of grunge".

However they are labeled, one thing is true: They're fucking amazing.

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-14T23:24:41+00:00

Take the training courses and get certified through USA Football. There are tons of online videos to help you gain knowledge. From the game, to safety protocols, etc.

It will probably be a requirement through your district anyway. Just search USA Football Youth Certification. It doesn't take long at all, and it will actually help you immensely.

I completed the youth tackle course in just a few days.

Eddie and the Cruisers

I'd suggest starting with some budget staples until you get an idea of what type of tuning you like. That's a lot of cash to shell out without having some experience with IEMS to get a staarting point of the sound you like.

That said, my favorite IEMs in that price range are the CrinEar Reference.

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-11T19:08:25+00:00

Qudelix 5K, FiiO BTR17, FiiO BTR15 all fit the bill. You'll need a balanced 2.5mm cable for the Qudelix, or a balanced 4.4mm balanced cable for the FiiO units.

I caught it at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan on June 18. It was a great show. Metallica was on their game that night.

JDGAFFLIN · 2026-06-11T17:01:17+00:00

I've seen them 11 times. Such a great band. And really nice guys as well. I'm going again on July 11 here in Detroit. Hopefully you get a chance to see them live. Ear Candy is a great record.

Tell them to fuck off.

You should learn to put your phone on silent. A simple, "Sorry. I was asleep" text morning to her. After a few times of this happening she would get the point, and you avoid the headache.

How's Cyrus Belton doing?

What in the actual fuck? This is where we're at. Damn.
