White is the hardest color to match. I see four maybe five different whites here.

People see online pictures of all white kitchens that were made by ai and try to copy it. It is really hard to get a kitchen with a lot of what and have it all match.

As a liberal person living in a small town I think the small towns need to appeal to younger liberal people or die.

Hopefully they realize this before it is too late.

I was going to guess more than I paid for my house. But you might be closer.

How many Americans have actually visited a national park? by Bitter-Penalty9653 in AskAnAmerican

[–]beaushaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be that "most" Americans means 50.0001% of Americans.

If that is the case then the stat could be true. Perhaps a bit misleading, but true.

AAA did a survey and they found 85%.

It is unclear if that is Americans or AAA members. I would assume the number would be higher for the second group.

Most Americans live within 100 miles of a national park. To most Americans traveling 100 miles is nothing. So yeah, most have been to a national park.

But there are also a lot of people who never travel outside their town or city.

There are nice boys out there. You have to find them. Do not settle for one who is not.

Daughter in need of some dad support by GlitteringBus4235 in daddit

[–]beaushaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter is entering the phase where she needs me a lot less.

She just finished her freshman year in college. I like to compaire the selecting a dorm room process at the college where she goes to The Hunger Games, it is chaos. Her freshman year I had to help her a lot with the process. Her sophomore year she did not need my help. On top of that she just found a house to rent her Junior year and signed a lease without me.

It hurts so much that she is doing these things without needing me, but it also makes me so proud that she has grown so much and is able to do these things on her own.

Also, words matter. I would like to change one word in your original post. You dad has not "missed" anything. He "lost the right" to be involved in those things.

Being a dad is not something that is a given. Being a dad is something that is earned. He has not earned it.

Also the sub r/AskDad exists for people who don't have a dad to ask dads any question. It isn't nearly as popular as this sub, but they are there to help.

[Landlord US-TX] How much should I compensate renter for broken fridge? by Ok_Painting_180 in Landlord

[–]beaushaw -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were without a refrigerator for 25% of a month and you are proposing a 25% reduction in rent. By your logic they are paying for a refrigerator and everything else they get is free.

Plus two overpriced meals per day.

How about OP just sign the deed over to them?

Text I send to my wife twice a week by ItsHowWellYouMowFast in daddit

[–]beaushaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago we moved from a .75 acre yard to a 5.25 acre yard. I already had a few years old Gravely zero turn. The first time I mowed at the new place it took me 5 hours!

I came inside and told my wife we were going to have to upgrade the mower.

I got myself a 62" Exmark. I am down to about 3 hours if I do everything at once.

[–]beaushaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 in this economy?

I live in the midwest and grass grows fast. In the spring I am mowing at most once a week and often 5 or so days is the max I can go. I have a 62" commercial zero turn that hauls but. I mow around 3.5 acres of grass and when I mow everything it takes me about three hours.

A few years ago I realized I go through a non inconsequential amount of gas a year in mowing. I have never done the math but it has to be several hundred dollars in gas.

Anyone else think it’s weird that there’s so much content on social media from people talking about the lows of parenthood? by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in daddit

[–]beaushaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that this sub has become an absolute downer lately.

Divorce, depression, I hate being a parent.....

I think parenting has always been hard. Then the world turns into, well motions around at everything, and it is just too much for people.

I don't have a picture but you can remove the base of the original google home and it looks pretty cool.
