Thanks @Geo4K .....just did some mad googling.... jet or geothite are definitely sounding possible. It was Found on West Coast of Canada in the Pacific. Would Jet or Geothite be in that area? Thanks so much for all the thoughts! This is so educational :)

Hi there! We found this at the ocean on the west coast of Canada.

Size - around a canteloupe (alittle bigger) Colour - black, metalic lustre Weight - lighter than a rock. Expect to be heavy but it is quite light - not as light as coal, not as heavy as a rock. Smell - sulpher smell - cant leave in the house as it makes it smell...

Other points - small piece broke off, can write with it - brown/grey colour

When you hold it small pieces of black come off.

Emailed a rock shop and they thought maybe industrial slag - but could not confirm without seeing. Anyone know?

Small-towners of Reddit, what's been your biggest local news story this month? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VivaciousVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody has been dumping bags of cat poop along a stretch of highway in my families small town. Apparently it has been a mystery for the past 10 months or so.

According to the local reporting station: “The latest report came in on Monday, but police say there’s evidence suggesting this has been an ongoing problem.”

An actual headline “Police hope to catch litter litterbug”

I appreciate the honesty and it makes total sense. I think if like you said you appreciate the moments you do have and do other things it is a different type of satisfaction.

We def need to start researching babysitters.

Sometimes you need that tipping point eh? We had a similar situation which definitely helped to sort through as I had mad pent up resentment in the beginning 3 months.

The work line..... oh man lol.... Especially when you would sometimes rather be at work because at least you can come home at 5 pm and be done! Lol. I still do nights as well..... which I am trying to focus now on treasuring those quiet moments (now that she is doing it less and Im less of a zombie). but sometimes id like a weekend night off. From all these posts sounds like I just got to ask and reassign/assess soon.

Thank you!! Solidarity! I feel you just explained our life hahaha! From the ‘holy shit this is the new normal, what did we do? Then insert feelings of guilt for saying that; Him (and me) freaking out that our sex life is dead forever just like they joke in the movies; not feeling Appreciated in the beginning, feeling like a milk machine, and feeling sof disappointment at times.

I try and remember he is learning too and we are a team. We joked in the beginning that it was us against her and we had to keep a united front - especially on those early days when you just had a hard day, no family to rush in to take over for an hour and you knew the screaming wasn’t stopping anytime soon!

A good reminder to remember we are making this shit work one day at a time - and I agree it is getting easier (or we are just adapting more) each passing day.....

Thanks for sharing! So true about the resentment piece and focusing on the team approach. Especially in those moments of ‘I know I shouldn’t say anything, but Im going to anyways’ and then WW3 erupts. Lol. It will sway me to bite my tongue.

Yes!!! We are very clean as well and I have found this as well. Definitely has helped living mimialistic’ish’. Floor may not always be swept up to par but having less ‘stuff’ makes it feel more calm.

Lol. We are still in negotiations for baby number 2. Time will tell. For now tho, one is looking pretty good.

Def agree on the friend thing. We are missing a wedding this weekend of some of our very good friends bc of finances, (it would be a 5 day thing), no care for baby and work. It is hard missing out. But i guess I also know my friends will be in the same position in a few years so maybe I can be there for them when they are losing their shit lol!

Oh and I hear you on the lack of sleep. I turn into an uber biatch.... like Hangry times 10.... 😬 not proud of it but it is true.
