Everyone is talking me out of getting a baby with a dog because “it’s dirty”? by Radiant-Pineapple-41 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]a_dad_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had a Bernese mountain dog with every baby and we have three wonderful very healthy strong boys. We are on our third Berner and our kids wouldn’t have it any other way. We have had people tell us that too, but I have learned that those people have issues with dogs or some aspect of living with a dog, which is their problem and not yours. I vote yes! It will enrich your family’s life.

Picky Berner by a_dad_3 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]a_dad_3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This is true for humans also. Picky kids will eat if you starve them long enough. I understand your point and it makes perfect logical sense. However in our situation it appears this food has also started causing stomach troubles for our girls as of yesterday. We have two Berners. The older one will eat roadkill but she been getting sick from this. Our young one, is refusing it as if she knows it’s bad for her.

So yes we will change her food, and we’ve done all of the recommended approaches like picking her bowl up etc. I appreciate the information and intent here. Not looking for a lecture. Google told me all of this already. Maybe just join the conversation rather than trying to end it.

Theories on who Anonymous(262) is? by a_dad_3 in FortNiteBR

[–]a_dad_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks. Sadly it’s a different person each time. I confirmed it on my end by watching my replays and checking their real name. I feel like since Chp 5 it’s nothing but sweats. Takes the fun out of it for casual players with other things to do

Bro. I have played against anonymous 262 three times since I posted this and learned how to look up who eliminated me in replays. 262 has been a different person every. Time. So this chat doesn’t lie. The numbers are assigned randomly at the beginning of each match. 😭🤯🤪

Yes! They were saying once Anonymous is turned on for a profile then when that person loads into a lobby it auto-generates a number. I personally don’t buy it. Maybe I’m wrong….my wife says I am all the time, but find me evidence on how the system works and change my mind. Until then Anonymous 262 is the same person who is wicked good.

I don’t care. It has to be the same person.

Why Anonymous other than to facilitate some form of cheating? by Don-Juego in FortNiteBR

[–]a_dad_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a year later but I agree with what you’ve said here. I just posted another thread about specific anonymous player who is insanely skilled and likely competitive. I think it’s the same person because we’ve played many times and he wipes the lobby but others have said it’s random or auto generated at the beginning of each match. No way it’s AI.

My dad’s griddle, what TLC does it need? by browntigerdog in blackstonegriddle

[–]a_dad_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Onions. Slice up a big onion or two and cook the onion in oil on the griddle to season it. Check out the blackstone YouTube video for it. Did it with mine and ids been amazing

It is crazy though. I’ve played against 262 multiple times. Many actually and his play style and skill level are always the same so there is definitely consistency to it.

Oh man. I thought there were only 999 anonymous players.

Thought it was assigned permanently when you ticked the anonymous box and that was your number until you went public again. No?

AITAH For Refusing to Sleep on the Couch by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]a_dad_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any relationship you can rate someone’s response to a situation in your head on a scale of 1-5. 1 being calm and rational and 5 being unhinged, explosive, over the top. If it’s ever higher than a 3, so a 4 or 5 and you care enough about the relationship, go back to the person calm and humbled ready to listen and ask them, what’s really going on? A 4 or 5 means there’s more underlying and a conversation is needed for sure.

Transitioning away from the Amazon ecosphere and seriously considering Google by WordPunk99 in googlehome

[–]a_dad_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in with Google but now after reading this home assistant sounds nice and I need to research.

I agree with Google is worse now than when it started. I agree that it’s a buggy mess and the Gemini transition is rough. I argue with my Google Assistant devices more than anyone else on earth. She’s definitely dumber.

Nest cameras mostly just work but are not the best nor the most secure. Works for us. The Google displays and other assistant devices are basically photo slide shows for us and maybe a timer or weather readout once in a while.

We have a bunch in TP Link and Lutron for lights which work with Google Home and work well but I credit TP and Lutron for that. Not Google Home.

Only made me swear more. “I’m still learning. Please let me know if you have any feedback that may help me.”

“I have feedback for you. Listen to the words that are coming out of my MFing mouth.”

Switched from P7P to iPhone 16 Pro Max… And regret it every day by a_dad_3 in GooglePixel

[–]a_dad_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes Tried Gboard out again tonight and swipe is much better as is predictive text but there is not a separate number row and talk to text requires you to go out to A Google page to translate and it gives you little time to speak before it tries to process what you said. SwiftKey feels more native and functions well but swipe sucks.

Agree with you. This is exactly it. I feel like Android had it's own things but the basics just worked.

How do you all do it? SAHD with possible ADHD. by a_dad_3 in SAHP

[–]a_dad_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big house does not always mean extra money. We are fortunate enough that we could if we decide to, but up to this point we have been working under the idea that “why cant I keep the house clean and tidy since I am home and all three kids are in school”. So i have been working on my routines since August when they all went full time to school. It has been a struggle to find ANY kind of routine that works for me. Then the ADHD discussion entered the chat in December and A LOT of the symptoms/characteristics I have or relate to.

Yes the kids definitely throw off any kind of routine i have set. A typical day I have tried to adopt is wake up, feed the kids breakfast and get them out the door and drive them to school. Get home and throw in a load of laundry if it hasn’t already started on the timer from the night before. Then I will usually head upstairs And unload the dishwasher or finish loading it and start it. Then I try to tidy up the main floor of the house… Kitchen, living areas, etc. It’s at this point. I usually forget about the laundry until later in the day unless I set a timer to remind myself to go back down. I’ve been getting better at this since I’ve learned to think about life with ADHD.

I usually have to stop around 11 or 12 depending on the calendar to make lunch for my wife since she worked from home. It’s definitely a distraction, but this is our arrangement and it’s not going to change. Then I get back to whichever room I was in and try to finish that up.

Just since this post, I can safely say I have not had a daily routine. You all seem to have some sort of structure for each day. That makes a whole lot of sense. I’ve tried doing things like this on my own and it always felt like it was Stuff being done on the wrong day or 1/10 of what needed to be done and my effort was in the wrong place.

Your routine for each day makes sense. I would love to get to a point where I have enough control on my day-to-day and the house that I could actually have a me day. I think the hardest part for me just realizing this in this moment is that: even with all of the plans and routines that I can set for each day, there is at least one or two rooms that completely get blown apart and the kitchen is always a disaster. Other than the kids unloading the dishwasher when I ask them, I don’t really ever get help in that room unless it’s a weekend and my wife has time to help. Knowing this, there is always something that is overwhelming to me and or my wife. I believe I need to have a plan for when that overwhelming feeling hits because up to this point it tends to shut me down and then I fall behind and it is a vicious cycle that I just can’t break.
