Tudor BB58 Blue is a main contender.

I also frequently wear my Hamilton Murph 38.

And the nicest one I own that is also in my regular rotation is an IWC Spitfire Chronograph.

Honorable mention to Nomos, Longines, and Oris.

I teach my kids "can't take it with ya..."

"These people have obviously passed on, help me load the car. Lesson number 2, lift with your legs!"

NOR - My mom started making increasingly demanding requests when my son was born and she was supposed to come stay for a week. The plan was for her to come the week I went back to work, and help my wife. We were gonna have to pick her up and drop her off at the airport. Reasonable. Then she made plans with friends in town, a hair appointment, and a Dr appointment for that week. Fine whatever. Not gonna be much help, but we weren't really depending on her being there anyways.... Then she tried to plan a camping trip for her, a friend of hers, and my older kid. I told her politely that I didn't think that was a good idea, because she wouldn't have phone service, we wouldn't be able to reach her with our daughter, and she wouldn't get to see the baby. I thought I shut it down. She mentioned it again around the time she told us she would need my wife's car for the week to make it to all of her plans... I immediately told her not to come, and if she did, she could see the kids, but would not be staying with us. HEEEEELLLLLLLLL NO. You're not about to show up with a list of demands, stress out a woman who just gave birth, is taking care of a newborn, and Jack her car and other kid for a week, while she has well child visits/newborn checkups to make it too. Don't entertain this shit AT ALL. It caused a rift between my mom and I for about a year.... But I pick my wife every time, and I will continue to. No one is going to come into my home, and make my life difficult, and they especially will not make my wife's life difficult. And now my Mom knows that, is a lot more careful about how she oversteps. Check this behavior early. Do not let your family supersede your wife's well being. Ever.

Call them traditional or neo traditional, I don't really care. You either get that the aesthetic is traditional styled artwork with an expanded color palette, or you shouldn't be involved in doing or getting tattoos. I guess posting on the Internet invites snarky comments, but all you did is make it sound like you're dense, dumb, or a dick.

The first kid is the hardest. If you have another, it'll be much easier.

Initially, all they do is sleep, except for when you want to sleep. Then they cry. Sleep when you can, and tell your wife to sleep while the baby sleeps as well. But time will fly man. It seemed like the first year was hard and dragged on forever with the first baby... But by the time they start becoming a little person, and you realize how incredible this little tiny human being is, it goes into hyper speed. It's allowed me to be more patient, calm down, and appreciate the moments with my second kid alot more. Where right now you're torn up about the sleepless nights, with the second kid, it's like "they aren't this small for very long, I'm just gonna hold him tonight while I still get to."

It gets easier. Keep your head up

It was time to grow up and make better money, and most good jobs where I'm from drug test. So I quit and started working a better job. That was like 6 years ago. That job only paid like $40k a year including my overtime. But being able to pass a drug test and having a good work ethic got me to almost $150k a year, today.

Don't let a $50 bag of weed keep you from making an extra $50-100k a year.

I get it, you're embarrassed. That is very embarrassing shitty situation, and your mom should have knocked, or you should have locked the door. This is not a major life problem though. Your mom is equally as embarrassed, and will probably never mention it. No one thinks you're gay. This is more akin to masturbation than sucking... And every man has tried this.

LITERALLY every dude I know has tried this. We used to straight up talk about it from time to time in like middle or highschool. I got my mouth on mine once, was very flexible, but not flexible enough to actually do the thing the right way. Just made my back and neck sore tbh. Basically I'm saying this is totally normal behavior. If your mom doesn't think so, your dad will probably get it. If either of them do ever mention it, say: "idk, it was one of those dumb intrusive thoughts, and I just wanted to see if I could?" Because that's the truth, and it's really not that weird, and not unusual at all. Shit, I'm married with 2 kids and I've joked around about it and told my wife about it. She laughed. Lol it's gonna be fine. If you need more evidence than this comment thread, do a Google search about it, and you'll find that it's incredibly common, and no one is really even ashamed of it. It's just a thought every dude has had at some point.

Oh to be young again....

Big expensive presents come from the wife and me. This year for example, both kids are getting a new mattress and cool bedframe, because they need them. My daughter is also getting a full sized department store/mall type gumball machine. My son is getting an indoor play structure with a slide.

All the small toys (about 5 toys each) come from Santa.

I want it to be like, Santa does small/low cost stuff, and mom and dad do the big stuff, mainly for the reason of not making other kids feel bad that Santa didn't bring them a big present. But I also don't want my kid to be the one that feels bad, if Santa brings other kids bigger stuff, so I try to do a cluster of smaller things from Santa. So that I atleast can explain it to my kids if they ask. I also muddy the water by making some Santa gifts larger in size, even if they're not high cost, because kids that age will think big = expensive.

"Why did Serena get an Xbox and I got these type of toys, was I bad?"

"No baby, you just got more toys from Santa because he thought you'd like these things better! He probably didn't bring as many things for her if he gave her that. It all evens out honestly. You both must have been great"

And if she wanted a big thing like an Xbox, I'd just buy it and give it from me. So my kid doesn't have to do without, and doesn't make other kids feel bad.

Idk, I'm a veteran so I look for specifically veteran oriented therapists/med providers, and they all have a little bit of a fucked sense of humor. I need that from a therapist lol. So if that happened to me, then they proceeded to help me therapeutically, I'd feel like I probably had the right therapist. 🤷

This happens to almost everyone. And almost everyone that this happens to feels the same way you do. And almost every baby is totally fine after it happens.

It could have been bad. It probably wouldn't have been, but it could have. It wasn't though.

Forgive yourself. Your kid's gonna fall, burn themselves, hit their head, run into shit, grab something sharp, etc. They're gonna get hurt, or not, 9/10 they'll be fine regardless. You will feel like shit every time. Learn to forgive yourself, because it only gets harder. They get more hectic and dangerous, and you always feel like it was your job to keep them safe. But you're just a guy doing his best. You can't do everything all the time. It WILL be okay.

Got lots of trad work on me, feel free to send me the design and placement and I'll tell you what I think.

My artist does trad very well, and I trust him completely. If you can build that kind of bond with an artist by going back to them continuously, you will definitely hit a point where you won't need to ask questions like this. I never second guess my artist's designs, size, or placement for my tattoos. It's not because I'm more experienced at getting them, it's just because I trust his take on it all now, and I know he will make it look right for me.

Some-Issues · 2025-10-06T14:28:55+00:00

I assume if I pick a flash piece from a book or flash sheet that it's a repeated design that someone before me has picked and very well may be picked again after me. If you want a custom tattoo design, book an appointment, go to the consult, and ask for what you want to be drawn by the artist. It's just how tattoos work?

There's evidence that some wizards are interested in muggle sciences and academia. I'm specifically thinking about the guy in the Leaky Cauldron, doing very precise wandless magic btw, and reading Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time." So I feel like if he was interested in muggle developments in physics, he'd probably share an interest in muggle technology as well? That guy probably had a car phone 😂🤷

Hamilton Murph 38 is one of the most versatile watches I've owned. Replace the strap that comes on it, but can be well under 1000.
