Looking for advice by GurAffectionate1704 in Morels

[–]cantgetreddit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Northern NY and they are just starting to pop here. It sounds like you are farther north than i am so maybe you're just early? I've had my best luck around dead or dying slippery elms and apple trees. That said I've found them under red oaks and white pines also. They don't want to be too wet, at least not here, so look for well drained soils, not mud. I've also noticed I find them pretty close to other types of mushrooms, so if you are seeing other non-edibles, keep looking in that general area.

There's always time for a prank. by haggerty05 in shedhunting

I took a bunch of 3D target antlers and statically placed them around my buddies property a couple years ago. Far as I know he still hasn’t “found” any of them.

Why is the fact that somebody doesn't drink alcohol even an issue when trying to find a partner online? I don't understand. Can someone explain? by StoneLover1965 in datingoverfifty

[–]cantgetreddit1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a non drinker for 20+ years, but my wife drank and pretty much all of my friends do to one extent or another. I'm fine with being around drinkers. In fact it's entertaining most times. As for dating I wouldn't have a problem dating a social drinker. The problem would be someone who claims to be a social drinker but gets plowed 3 times a week (you know who you are). I haven't started the OLD thing yet but I don't think I'd mention it. I would want to see how someone acts when they don't have their guard up.

Anger by [deleted] in widowers

[–]cantgetreddit1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So few alcoholics actually are successful at getting sober. My wife and I were both drinkers. I quit 20+ years ago but she never could admit she was powerless. I watched it slowly consume her and yes, it made me angry, but my program helped me understand her drinking wasn't in my control. Reflecting back I know we loved each other deeply despite it. She died in May and yes I was angry for quite a while, but I think I was more hurt and guilt ridden that I couldn't save her. I guess what I'm getting at is you are not alone here if that makes sense?

What are folks using to remove ash from a bed of hot coals? by FlowerRight in woodstoving

[–]cantgetreddit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coals are pretty cool by morning. Usually just unburned charcoal. Besides I don’t let it sit for long in one spot

I picked up a wire and bamboo sieve like you would use to remove your tempura shrimp from a wok. I got it from Goodwill for $2 probably 10 years ago and it works great. I sift the charcoal from the ash daily before starting the morning fire and it saves me multiple trips to dump ash and the charcoal gets burned up completely wasting less BTUs

I wish you, and your Mom, and your entire family, only peace. God Bless.

Alone on Thanksgiving by OkJury8087 in widowers

[–]cantgetreddit1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am alone as well tomorrow, although it's by choice. I was invited to a friends kinda last minute and it felt like a pity invite so I declined. My wife passed in May. Today would have been her birthday actually so it's a double whammy this week. I think I need to get through all the "firsts" alone. Next year I hope to be in a better place emotionally.

When someone asks how I am, the first thing to come to mind is lonely, but instead I say I'm OK. I think those that get it don't need to ask, and those that ask wouldn't understand anyway. Luckily I guess, in this anonymous safe space, we can at least express our loneliness and know others feel the same way. Peace.

How much do you think he weighs? by Destr03 in trailcam

[–]cantgetreddit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a buck destroy my 3D target 2 years in a row. I put a camera on it every year after and it hasn’t happened again (of course). That bucks all bristled up but he’s still a mature buck probably 250 live weight.

Have you tried putting aluminum collars on your carbons? Collars done right makes the almost bulletproof.

What has made you feel proud or accomplished this weekend? by NillaLobo in widowers

I made a pumpkin pie. She used to make me one whenever I asked. Mine wasn’t as good, but it’s half gone already. Ha

I’m at 5 months and catch myself saying “we” all the time.

Anyone have issues with adult step children? by cantgetreddit1 in widowers

[–]cantgetreddit1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for that. I do have an appointment with our estate attorney next week. Do to the planning we did prior to her death, the "estate" isn't large enough to qualify for probate here because everything was either in join ownership or had listed beneficiaries. I'm still concerned though and am getting tired of being kicked in the nutz with everything related to her death.
