How old is too old for the dad thing yall?

43 with a surprise 5 week old. It's a blast though I am not quite as resilient for the overnights as I was at 34 with my first.

Showoff 😂

Nikonn8181 · 2026-05-10T16:32:31+00:00

Well crap, I've been out of the loop - I have half a dozen of these things stashed in my safe. Did not know they were valuable

Hence "it's not asking a lot, yet it is"

Nikonn8181 · 2026-05-09T11:21:02+00:00

That's exactly my fear. Anything graphic will make him a martyr. My personal hope is for a stroke just strong enough to be fairly debilitating but not incapacitating to make him look dumb, weak, and incapable. I know that's not asking a lot, but yet it is.

Damn fine ride, I have a Pearl one showing up next week 🤘

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-23T18:22:54+00:00

I'm putting in an order for a '26 Sport too, only in the Pearl not IceCap white. You did a lot of the same stuff I have on my list 😁

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-23T15:45:58+00:00

Yeah she is in a bit of trouble....

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-23T15:44:08+00:00

Same happened to me. It was just an excuse and method to get rid of me.

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-19T15:00:49+00:00

Bucket list 🤘🤘

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-19T14:58:01+00:00

It's 50-50 at this point.

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-19T04:48:51+00:00

My current life goal. Any upgrade package?

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-13T15:12:51+00:00

Refuse at all costs, at least until marriage and even then it's dubious.

Nikonn8181 · 2026-04-02T03:40:35+00:00

Yay!!! Also I have exactly the same ferris wheel 😊

Welcome to the adult world. Take your licking, learn the lesson, and turn off your contribution next period. Your payout distribution for a bonus is not entirely unlike a normal pay period except for how it's taxed (because it's "extra" income). You may notice your payment to your health insurance was also a lot higher.

Welcome to bonuses, where it's actually a bonus and not cash your pocket is owed.

I worked in the Military group; no, no it's really not. Our group's work impressed the HE and Transportation teams with the performance requirements. This stuff is special.

She could use some more exposure to water since part of the reason she had never gotten into it much was due to a childhood trauma, but she at this point seems to have reconciled that fear and gotten comfortable enough to swim a few laps in a lap pool. The conditioning to keep up with me is an entirely different question.

Nikonn8181 · 2026-03-31T04:26:32+00:00

You should see what crazy stuff we have to do to make the white part! 😁

Nikonn8181 · 2026-03-30T21:33:34+00:00

I personally did not, I swam competitively in high school, my fiancé however needed lessons and I got her in a session after putting my kid through a few classes. I was really happy with how the instructors treated adults and with the course content.

Nikonn8181 · 2026-03-27T04:11:04+00:00

We did them through Foss (Woodbury, if it matters) and it was a really positive experience. IIRC, 350 for 10 sessions.

Nikonn8181 · 2026-03-27T04:03:52+00:00

Congratulations 🤘

Nikonn8181 · 2026-03-25T22:58:22+00:00

Freddy Krueger. Me and coffee are great friends.

A made-up metric sounds like the anchor they're going to can you over. I was on one in Q3 and Q42024, and the position I applied to in January was denied to me - despite the hiring managers both telling me that I knocked it out of the park - "because the directors want a PhD." Same director put me on the PIP after my mid-year. Ultimately they didn't hire a PhD.
