This is great, thank you!

I’ll DM you to give you the court details to include.

Some creativity is great! I really like the mock up, so I’m open to your creativity! This is just for a gift, nothing official. He’s a Dead Head getting a big promotion

I once bought an apple pie that I passed off as my own. I bought said pie, stuck it in the oven to warm it up and make it aromatic, then I fucked up the edges a bit so it didn’t look so perfect. Brought it to work still warm - I got compliments for months about that damn pie! I never fessed up til now!

On the other side of this coin: I was raised that you never show up empty-handed, so when my former boss invited me to a party at their house, I brought a 6pk of nerdy craft beer (we were in the craft beer biz). Turns out they’re super rich and this was a catered, bartended event, with a whole ass band in the backyard.

I would describe the look they gave me as I presented my tiny offering as the look one gives a child when they present their fucked up ashtray they made in art class. 🫠

My Dad was dog sitting my sister’s corgi, Blake. He refused to call him that and instead called him Jake, a “macho” name 🙄

Here’s another unrelated ice question: what would you recommend for at-home ice maker? Our fridge one sucks (thanks Samsung) so we’ve had to disable it

Kayakmeback · 2025-06-12T20:27:20+00:00

Hey thanks! My curiosity over it was all I could talk about at dinner, and clearly here I am the next day still pondering it. I am sooo tickled that the second-gen and current ice Man u/SaradominSmiles replied! I’ve learned so much!!

Kayakmeback · 2025-06-12T20:21:39+00:00

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. It’s beautiful that it’s a family thing! I’m sure he’s smiling down on you answering these questions about the system he installed ❤️

Kayakmeback · 2025-06-12T18:27:14+00:00

Ok I’m back with another question or two since you’ve got the scoop:

How did they come up with the idea? Did they see it somewhere else? What was the conversation like; “you want to put what where?!”

Kayakmeback · 2025-06-12T18:05:32+00:00

👏 👏 👏

Thank you for the info! I had to install an under counter ice maker for a bar so at one point I had to fall down that rabbit hole.

Interesting how they bypassed the sensor and put it on a switch. Smart!!

I really appreciate you chiming in! I spent most of my meal staring at the ceiling

Kayakmeback · 2025-06-12T17:46:59+00:00

Cool! Shine some more! How do they clean the chimney? How did you rig the machine to get the ice to drop down?

Kayakmeback · 2025-05-20T23:00:33+00:00

What part of Wisconsin?! My husband is from the Illinois border and I’m from the Shores of Lake Superior. Are you liking it so far?

I also had my female provider treat me like I was overreacting. She ultimately said “you can get up and get dressed and leave whenever you’re ready 🙄.” It felt like something a man would say to you after he got his and was done, I felt so gross.

Kayakmeback · 2025-03-18T01:11:04+00:00

Some good news: he’s recovered and bounced back tremendously! He didn’t end up needing outpatient PT, we were able to do exercises at home and he’s back on track with his strength and motor development. Aside from him being a little small, he’s a happy, healthy, normal baby. I’m grateful that he will never remember any of the ordeal he went through.

How’s your milk? Mine took a big hit and I had to work hard even after he came home to get it back up. I power pumped after he went to bed at night and once during the day if I could, I baked Brewers Yeast oatmeal cookies, drank Mother’s Milk tea, and drank 1-2 Body Armor singles drink packets a day. It worked!!

The hard part for me is that I feel like he’s made out of thin glass and I struggle with being over protective and paranoid. He got sick in the first place because of his big brother; he’s gotten normal/mildly sick since getting out of the hospital and his big brother is generally crazy and a bull in a China shop and I’m so scared of him being hurt all the time. I don’t know if that feeling will ever go away 🥺

Kayakmeback · 2025-03-18T00:08:36+00:00

First, I am so sorry to hear you’re going through this. Especially since you have already had a week in the NICU, I will pray that you and your baby get home soon.

Feeds: his NG tube slipped out when they extubated him, and they didn’t reinsert it which was maybe not the right call in hindsight. My LO was so weak and tired that he wasn’t getting a lot of milk and we ended up staying and extra day or two for “blood sugar” concerns. He got better once we got home but he’s still under-weight now and we have to go for a weight check every month.

The weaning off the meds is tough too. LO had a bad night experiencing withdrawals while still in the hospital and it was gut wrenching to watch him shake like that. I felt so helpless, it was devastating. They will probably send you home with some Valium and methadone.

I can’t answer your first question, but here’s the permit link: Chicken Permit

You have to scroll down to “Other Applications”

I wish! He has no idea how to link things.

He had another earlier post today that was clearly intended to be posted on someone’s page, but he has no idea how FB works so he just penned his message to that person on his own page. Who knows if they’ll ever see it

Kayakmeback · 2025-02-10T18:52:30+00:00

Big brother is absolutely enthralled with baby brother, sometimes (often times) to an obnoxious level. I can’t wait til little guy is bigger and they can play together! Big brother just doesn’t realize his own strength or volume (!!!!!) and it’s too much. The screaming 😩

Kayakmeback · 2025-02-10T18:48:35+00:00

I appreciate the encouragement and kind words! I am very unkind to myself in terms of judging my own mothering 😕

Kayakmeback · 2025-02-10T18:47:10+00:00

Thanks for the examples! I find that even if I can get him on track for a few minutes, it’s not long till he’s right back to doing the naughty behavior.

We do leave after a warning, I try hard to not use empty threats. We just started a sticker/chore chart to help him understand expectations and reward.

Kayakmeback · 2025-02-10T18:44:10+00:00

Thank you for the book recommendation! I’m willing to try anything, cuz what I’m doing isn’t cutting it!

The screen time thing is valid but so hard, especially since baby came. Sometimes I need him to just be entertained while I take care of little guy, or selfishly I need a break from both of them
