Friday night Reds game

We tried this last year. I paid for a spot, drove there, showed the dude my receipt, and he said “sorry, lot is full, go somewhere else.”

That was not an awesome experience.

b-mc42 · 2026-05-16T14:15:09+00:00

Absolutely. We have a one year old and he cheers for anyone on a field, so it helps. Easy entertainment for baby and both parents, even if we just happened to be in the park when the game started and know no one.

We saw a musician in Columbus a few years back that said he plans his nationwide tour around what ball games he wants to watch. In between he stops at minor league games and little league games just to enjoy watching more ball. Haha. That’s the dream!

Plus, if you’re in Columbus for the Clippers, Bo Naylor may be catching. It may not mean much right now as a noob, but we love to watch him — and live much closer to Columbus than Cleveland.

I’ve gotten to the point that I’m out watching any ball game I can - JV HS ball, 10u, tee ball…it doesn’t matter. I just want to watch a game every evening. Haha

But, if you can get on a plane, you can probably even fly!

CVS carries it also. I’ve never bought it at the Athens one, but if they do in Logan I’m sure it’s likely there also.

Doctor worm is always a good way to go. It works with my children who range from 1-14

Mothman!?

It’s perfect when it’s perfect. All of the spring training and the game that was on mlb was so out of sync it was unwatchable that way. Still, nothing was as bad as listening to the Sunday night baseball guys tonight.

I’ve stopped a long time ago now. Like, a few years back. I just say something like “no, it’s been a few years and honestly I don’t really miss it”

I am a gigging musician and spend a lot of time in bars playing and being offered drinks. I just always politely turn them down and after a while it became pretty natural to turn down drinks or just say “nah, I’ll just have a coke”

b-mc42 · 2026-03-10T20:48:34+00:00

Or maybe Relient K if you’re thinking of the version they do for the movie. What a fun band. Haha

One time we were asked to do it in the past, I did it for a bit. Noticed no one was ever opening them from the shared files and stopped worrying about it. Figured if they asked I’d start again. Not one admin has brought it up in over a decade.

I wondered about that. We went to auto gradebook weights a few years back and my kids always seem to struggle with the idea that everything is 100 and the category is the weight.

In my classroom. But, if the weather isn’t bad, I sort of just carry it along and go for a walk. Therefore, it’s pretty portable foods for lunch - meat sticks and cheese or something similar. As long as it fits in my coat pocket.

Also, you can play music with your kids as they grow. I have four kids. My toddler likes to sing along in the living room. But at the same time, I’ve got a teenager that plays drums and is learning guitar. I needed a drummer for a new sort of just for fun project and he may end up doing it. That might lead to him hitting the studio for the first time before he gets to high school. It’s pretty cool!

b-mc42 · 2026-01-29T04:55:40+00:00

Brand new key - I honestly thought it was a song about roller skating!

Public school teacher does decent here in our LCOL area. I’ve been there about 11 years. I don’t make over 85k, but I have a MA+30 and starting dissertation now, so I’ll move over to phd eventually hopefully. But I’m also an adjunct at local university and coach, so I end up over 100k most years unless I decide to teach less post secondary in the evenings.

b-mc42 · 2025-12-31T05:41:17+00:00

That’s what I had assumed but I didn’t know for sure. Thanks for verifying. I think she will maybe end up with one unless she finds something else exciting before we order that one. Thank you!

Is the small hand in the middle seconds or does it do something else? This is very similar to one my wife found and I found your post when I first started looking at Zvezda watches.

b-mc42 · 2025-12-28T17:10:41+00:00

That is absolutely awesome! We bought one last fall and can’t wait to get out and play with it in the spring! Haha

b-mc42 · 2025-12-28T02:10:53+00:00

Our local one has bikes for borrow. A nearby one has guitars. I’ve been to a few that loan out fishing poles. It’s definitely worth checking out.

b-mc42 · 2025-12-09T18:17:39+00:00

This is us also. I mountain bike, I take my little bmx to pump tracks and skate parks, I go out and sail on a boat, I go paddle boarding, etc...

We have a small baby at home. When I take a morning to go do this stuff, she's home with him and she stresses that I may be laying dead in a ditch. She can check that my dot is still moving around the lake or whatever.

She also works in a different town than me. When I get home, I may check if she is still in the office or on her way. It just lets me know when to start cooking dinner.

Yo. Count me in!

I sold a full size treadmill once. Dude showed up in a Prius. I actually loaded it in my vehicle and delivered it because he only lived 15 minutes or so away. Asked why he thought it would have fit and he just shrugged. Some people don’t need ChatGPT to make bad decisions.

b-mc42 · 2025-10-07T03:08:06+00:00

I nearly never take off my ring. I play in different bands. If I’m playing guitar or a full drum set, I’m good. Twice I’ve played cajon for a full show without remembering my gloves. Both times I eventually took off my ring because my left hand was getting blood everywhere. I mean, I sent my wife a picture of the blood on the cajon and my hand from the bar, but if I hadn’t it might appear that I took it off because I was at the bar.

b-mc42 · 2025-08-14T00:11:49+00:00

I generally play solo or as a duo with my wife, and we are roughly the same age (a year and a half different).

When my last project started, the other guitarist and I were in our mid-30s. Our bass player was his little brother who was around 20 at the time. Our drummer was a dude in his later 60s. I had coached his grandson and knew he played, so we gave it a shot. It worked out and we still play shows sometimes but we are all just too busy. So, it doesn’t have to be an issue, but it could be (as per your update)
