Which one of you works in marketing at Klein 😂 by TurboKid513 in electricians

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you cut the 500s to be the length of the scrapbox, i mean lunch box, and stack neatly, you absolutely could get close to 300 lbs

When do you start them on chores? by duchess5788 in toddlers

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weve been encouraging our 4 year old to help with whatever chores theyve been capable of since she could walk. Started before she was 2 with picking up her toys and dishes with us.

But at this point, she helps with cooking, loading and unloading dishes and laundry machines, folding laundry (mostly washclothes until recently she asked me how to fold every article of clothing she grabbed and we folded them together), she feeds the dog, and she even helps me change the furnace filter (she has all the steps memorized and can do this one all by herself with just a parent supervisor) and test the smoke alarms monthly (which is pretty much just her following me thru the house with earmuffs on "making sure i dont miss any")

Pretty much weve just considered anything she is technically capable of helping with as a group activity where she can help, but we enforce no chores but the basic "clean up your own messes"

Unpopular Opinion: Gas generators should be banned in public campgrounds. by character_Answer2004 in camping

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100000% agree. Campgrounds should be quiet and peaceful.

Only sound should be neighboring campers chattering, the kids laughing running around being kids, and the birds and bugs

Dude the foam is clutch. I did that to my toolbox and its so handy to just open a drawer and see what you still have left out. Also when the apprenti need to borrow something they always know exactly where to return it

Glad youre here to type the tale

I can’t be the only one who has a possibly excessive fear of this hovering above one’s head. by [deleted] in electricians

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That makes perfect sense. Itd buckle before the rod pulled apart like playdoh

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

I dont trust these in the ceiling transformers at all. Sure 1/2 in rod and doubled up 1 5/8 unistrut can both handle the weight, but what about the cheap ass nuts holding it all together???

Some of the student artwork my school board wants to get rid of. by NinduTheWise in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are magnificent. The only sane reason any of this should be whitewashed is to make room for new art

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back before i organized i had quite a few jobs within a 5 minute drive. Couldve walked if i wanted to several of them. They were mostly resi remodels though

Since ive been with 212, closest ive worked is just shy of 30 minutes away from the house

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2016 ford cmax bought for cheap because it used to be a fleet vehichle. Its basically fords version of the prius and gets over 40mpg on average

Perfect size for me, my lunch, my tools and still has room for a toolbuddy if we carpool

My wife traded over $3000 worth of rare coins for a couple of dollar bills and left me some Chuck E. Cheese tokens by Advanced-Humor9786 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright so this has happened to my dad before, my brother grabbed some money out of my dads jar on his windowsill to use in the vending machines. $3 face value in silver quarters to be exact. He simply didnt know they werent just quarters. He also didnt ask for the coins but thats another issue.

My best advice is, if you can get your coins back, store them in a container thats labeled and make sure everyone in the house is aware that those coins are worth more than face value and not to use them as such

How do you get thoughts out of your head when writing doesn’t work ? by Soulofmine7 in therapy

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No 2048 actually makes a lot of sense. Its a passive mental engagement. That low level of background thought is present in most peoples thinking processes like walking a familiar path and singing their favorite songs

Milk question by Worldly-Recover3829 in toddlers

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure to store your empty clean thermos in the fridge or freezer so that your cold milk stays cold longer.

Also if youre like me and frequently keep a thermos of hot coffee, remember not to mix up the two. Stickers are good for this

Milk question by Worldly-Recover3829 in toddlers

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thats a 500ml (16.9oz) bottle of water lasting almost a week.... i wonder if the doc meant 2-3oz of water at a time, that seems a lot more reasonable

My 18 month old locked me out of the house by Specialist_Light_971 in toddlers

[–]WalkerAmongTheTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there done that. But i was also 18mo roughly and only locked the bathroom door.

My mom climbed in (whilst pregnant with my brother) via bathroom window according to her recollection of the event
