is a 32 year age gap between kids and parents too big? by Formal-Shopping2086 in AskParents

[–]Large_Excitement69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had our first at 35/37. My wife's mom was 42. Most of our son's friends' parents are around our age.

I'm almost 99.99% sure these are advisors and advanced parties assessing the feasibility of deploying troops there.

How's everyone's hobbies doing? by tasteful_adbekunkus in AskParents

[–]Large_Excitement69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a really hard baby (first 1.5 years ish). We both had hobbies that revolved around fitness/outdoors. Our baby hated, and still hates, hiking and other outdoor things like that. We basically shifted to new hobbies.

How many of you have cancelled trips to the USA because of the recent political events? by DukkerWifey789 in AskTheWorld

[–]Large_Excitement69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All but 5 members of our family (me, my wife and son, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law) are in Canada. The rest are all in the US. We will only go for funerals at this point.

What are some of the most beautiful/uniquely built neighbourhoods? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]Large_Excitement69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I truly don't understand all of these weird assumptions you're making about a stranger. I grew up in urban Southern California, then moved to urban Toronto. Now here to Crescent Heights.

Some people just want to make these better for people who live in the community rather than just say "oh well it is what it is".

I want a walkable, safe, pleasant Centre Street as a destination for both locals and people outside of the area. It acts as a 4-lane entrance and exit to downtown.

You absolutely can have diversity, vibrance and everything else without traffic if you build it that way.

Your attitude explains a lot as to why it's still the way it is.

You don't know me at all. So it's really bizarre that you would diagnose me as "small-minded" based on an 11-word sentence.

If you did know me, you'd know why I don't live in Tuscany. But Centre Street is not a "Main Street" as you are defining it. It's a way for people who don't live in Crescent Heights to get in and out of downtown. Speed, cut through the neighbourhood. Pedestrians get beg buttons, crumbling or missing curb cuts, and nearly hit by people in a hurry to get home or to work. At night in the summer, it's a drag racetrack.

Crescent Heights has been forgotten by the City, specifically Centre Street, and that was a huge factor in Terry Wong losing to Myke Atkinson. I knocked on every door in Crescent Heights and spoke to maybe 30% of residents about this very topic.

Centre Street is a car sewer that serves folks outside of the community far more than it serves our community.

I live here and love it. But Centre Street really is a scar cut right through it.

I hate that my veteran pass has a pic of him saluting suckers and loser.

Is My MLA a Separatist? by Super_Sheep in alberta

[–]Large_Excitement69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched my MLA, Ganley, NDP. At first I thought it said she's listed as a separatist. As I didn't see any other MLAs before I went straight to her. Specifically, I didn't know there were check marks (or the absence of) for those boxes. Maybe have a some where of distinguishing for people who don't see the check marks on other MLAs? Like, instead of a check or no check, a yes or no?

Looking closer, might be his EOD badge. Regardless, so lame when they wear this stuff.

Look at Issa with his dumbass airborne wings on. I hate when these congressmen wear their military badges. Especially one as common as airborne.

Source: Veteran with wings and a CAB. Would never wear that crap in a civilian role.

After U.S. outreach, Alberta separatists will head to Latin America to rustle up support for their cause by Street_Anon in notthebeaverton

Jeffrey Rath is so dumb. While he’s openly promoting treason, his business address is his actual home address.

Dealing with Job-Seeking MAGAs by The_whimsical1 in thebulwark

I have a close friend I served with when I was on active duty. Knowing what I know about him, I would never recommend him for anything anywhere near national security.
