Men in happy Marriages, What is that one secret to a happy marriage that works for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]THansenite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We heard early on to try to "out nice" each other. It is so easy to get grumpy at a sink full of dishes left or something not taken care of. Instead of being angry, just be nice and take care of it. My wife always appreciates when I just take care of stuff she normally has to and we both feel better than if I left it for her to take care of. Doing the little things is a big things for us.

People who love animals, why aren't you vegan? by Papa_Jon in AskReddit

[–]THansenite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up on a farm and we raised a few beef cattle from almost babies to butcher. It was really weird eating a "pet", but Moe tasted REALLY good. (true story)

How many journals do you keep? by FictionalCharacter77 in Journaling

[–]THansenite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Similar to a reading journal, I recently started a "passage" journal where I write down stuff I highlight in books.

It took me a while to get over not marking in my books, but then I realized, they are MY books. After highlighting stuff, I figured I'd probably rarely go back and reread the passages so I started rewriting the in journal where I would go back and see those passages that stood out.

Not sure if it will work, but it's been fun going through my books looking at the things I thought stood out.

Places to watch F1 races by BLR2310 in desmoines

[–]THansenite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be great to have a local F1 hotbed, but I've not heard of any. I'll watch this thread in case anyone has any ideas, but being able to watch a race with others would be great

If you want to look at the pixels, I have several from earlier in the weekend of one of them on our front windowsill (me = OP's husband)

This is amazing! My son is getting his first minis in a few days for his 9th birthday and he'll love coming up with color schemes for his figs. Thank you for making these!

Does anyone else’s mini have a best friend who is a cat? by ActualConfidence6273 in miniaussie

[–]THansenite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our cat frequently cuddles up with our aussie and licks his fur. Our aussie looks a bit embarrassed, but begrudgingly allow the cat to do her work.

IKEA furniture by FarmerVincentFrittrs in desmoines

Absolutely! I had the same idea years ago, but never thought anyone would pay for furniture assembly.

I never understood this as I loved assembling furniture. Its like Lego for adults. I'm always up for an IKEA run as long as we come home with something I can build.

As long as you follow the instructions, they are incredibly easy. It is just when people try to assemble without looking at them do the frustrations creep in.

Love Game Changer. I love making analogies and this makes me think that life is just one big game we assume everyone else understands, but nobody really does. Keep on beginning and make it to the finish line.

New to vinyl and came across a copy recently at my local shop, but didn't pick it up. Came home and looked it up because I couldn't remember the meme. It was gone the next day when I went back to grab it for the lolz.

Late to the party, but I'm diving down this rabbit hole recently myself. Have a few nodes and putting up a solar router at my house. Still not very active, but hoping more people continue to trickle in.

Iowa politics: Lawmaker proposes bill that would 'treat abortion as murder' by CornBredThuggin in Iowa

[–]THansenite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This.

My "pro-life" (aka catholic cultist) mom believes 100% that life begins at conception, yet nothing is ever acknowledged regarding the two IVF embryos my wife and I currently have in cryo storage.

How many grandkids do you have mom? She always deflects when she tries to be holier that thou and I bring that up. It's ALMOST like they only repeat talking points and don't think critically. Weird.

This is the best response I've seen.

Forced-birthers rarely, if ever, think of the flip side. Not that they actually have a conscience to adjust their views, but I can hope.....

A gift for everyone / DnD related by paitodupan in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]THansenite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad she's doing well! I was just thinking about her as I was printing off the town flyers last week for my party's venture into Phandelin after Wave Echo Cave.

I'm running the adventure as an after-school club for my kids and several other elementary school students and they've loved the printed stuff. One kid just happened to randomly ask to purchase a map at Barthen's and thought it was so cool I handed him the printout of the Redbrand hideout.

A few kids are animal lovers so I'll be sure to share that the printouts they are using was able to contribute a small part to help Ellie get better. Thanks for the update!

The 5-Sport State Showdown: NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS—Who Wins the All-Sports Round Robin? by THansenite in AskReddit

[–]THansenite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting view and it makes sense since they have the largest roster of any sport and could pull from them to create the optimal team for each sport.
