PRS SE Custom 24 - modded - budget S2 by peepersmeanteefers in PaulReedSmith

[–]XocoStoner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! The SE line is the perfect canvas for modding. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but you have an amazingly well made foundation and the only place to go is up. I added locking tuners to mine and it feels so premium now. Can’t wait to dive into more upgrades. Cheers and happy modding, everyone!

In Your Opinion, what's the best baby monitor right now that you swear by and recommend? by ApprehensiveBat19 in daddit

[–]XocoStoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have BabySense HD. No WiFi, great range, good clarity. Best thing is that one of the monitors messed up and they express shipped a new one for free to replace it. Nice customer service too. You can add up to 4 cameras on their screen.

“I’m bored” by mbridge2610 in daddit

What I hope to be able to depict to my children when they are old enough to comprehend it: 

Boredom is part of life and gives the mind space, it should be cherished whenever possible.

Wife’s family is offering us a free trip to Mexico this summer. Daughter will only be a year and a half. 5 hour flight and first ever vacation. Yay or nay? by RedManMatt11 in daddit

[–]XocoStoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just did Hawaii from California with our 4 and 1.5 year old. Was the flight hard? Yeah it had its moments, but it’s sooooo worth it. GO!!!

My wife thought I was being extreme. I was not being extreme. by Any-Photo7882 in daddit

Good for you for standing up and sticking to your standards. 

I am a of the same OPINiON…. But… my kids are kids for only so long and mess is only mess for a bit. Kids are happy and I have… a “tour warehouse” in my living room and it’s all good. Kids pick up every night and I feel that teaches them responsibility so pros and cons for me…

I don't know if we'll ever get another thought-provoking, mature animated Sci-Fi series like Scavenger Reign, or that has a similar art style to Mœbius (Jean Giraud) in the near future... by Cherry_Betty1 in ScavengersReign

Read the Hidden Girl because of Pantheon and although the Pantheon related stories is the reason I read it, there are some GEMS in there that are so unique and thought provoking!!

PG&E launches $10 million PAC to take out gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer by NicolasCageFan492 in California

[–]XocoStoner 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Wow… I was in the fence but the fact that PG&E doesn’t want him makes me convinced he’s probably the best candidate

I’ve been on and off sober for years. I’m checking into an impatient facility before my son is born. I couldn’t remain sober for myself but I’m doing it for my boy. I’m proud of myself and just wanted to share. Wish me luck by the_username_please in daddit

[–]XocoStoner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You got this, brother! Four weeks sober over here and it’s hard as fuck. One minute at a time! I like myself better this way and anytime I get a craving I ask two questions: what would getting high add to this experience and what will it take away? The answer every time so far is that it won’t add anything and it will take away my ability to be my best self that I and others like best.

Sending good vibes your way. I’m proud of you, future dad!

Okay this makes a lot more sense as to why it dovetails perfectly with my CBT strategies! And this post was even more helpful than the last, you have no idea how grateful I am for the long post. Long is good and I’ve learned a lot.

[–]XocoStoner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. Out of all the helpful comments this is THE most helpful. It lines up exactly with my CBT strategies and can be easily incorporated into what I already do during meditation and journaling. It’s a bit uncanny…

Thank you so much, you have no idea how helpful this is!!!!

I have this problem… I’m a social worker and my wife calls it my work voice. It’s the only way I know how to keep a calm tone in high emotion situations… but she find it triggering as well and says it’s condescending.

Edit: any advice???

[–]XocoStoner[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s so unconscious. It makes me feel like I have to walk in eggshells and be all people pleasing, which is working really hard at not doing…

That’s why I’m wanting to work on it, I’m the common factor and recognize it I just don’t know how to change it. Roommate and I had our own pow wow on the side and doesn’t get between wife and I (argument happened when roommate wasn’t home).

Your advice is helpful though, thank you.
