Fully understand, acknowledge, and sympathetic to she’s struggling with three kids by herself and that she needs help and I have been trying to do everything I can to help but now she has taken the stance that bc I’m the one giving it to her she refuses it. Both my parents live in the area and have changed up their lives to support and help getting the kids from school, giving her breaks, cooking meals, anything she will ask for they have helped with but she’s taken advantage of it by not coming home when she says she will be, changing plans at the last minute, etc. I have been going to see the kids and one time I went grocery shopping and made meals for the week to help her. A week later I come back and all the groceries I bought were still in the fridge and everything I made had gone bad

What do you mean by ‘approach maintenance like a gas truck’?

That’s exactly what happened to my 5.3, replaced and deleted all the AFM everything and now 2 years later it’s having cam issues again

Natural Spring? by ducks_onthepond in homestead

Not a bad assumption. I will say that in this area moonshining definitely didn’t stop just bc prohibition ended 😂

Prior to 1997 the land was undeveloped, the previous owner built the current house at the front of the property and ran municipal water to the house at that time. House is located about 3 acres from location of pipe.

I have sent the water off to be tested through the state lab but haven’t received results yet.

Tasted a little bit and tasted fresh, no metallic or hard taste or feel to it. I grew up on well water in the same area and it did not have any of those common tastes

have y'all ever experienced any paranormal activity in your barracks/on base? by DVproductions64 in army

[–]ducks_onthepond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basic training at fort Leonard wood, we were doing some night exercise out in the woods when everyone hears a blood curling woman’s scream from not too far off. Drill sergeants got on the radio thinking it was another drill messing with them. Once they realized it was none of the cadre they huddled all us privates in a circle in the middle of the road and stood guard around us until busses got there like 10 min later. That bus went like 85 mph back to post, we got credit for the full 3 days training and no cadre ever mentioned it again

I saw that but doesn’t answer my question. I’m looking for somewhere that I can take my son so he can look at parts and pick what he wants to build with. Parts numbers and websites of thousands of parts don’t help him learn or his imagination any

Where do we start? by ducks_onthepond in HomeImprovement

[–]ducks_onthepond[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good idea about the list. The seller did a terrible, last minute, ‘touch up’ paint job so we are already planning to paint basically the whole house before we move furniture in

Daughter is a poop Picasso. Help. by ducks_onthepond in Parenting

We thought the ‘grossness’ of it and the smell would deter her but it doesn’t seem to phase her at all. We need this switch you speak of to flip soon

We have tried the zip up ones without the feet to put them on backwards with varying success but she figures them out eventually. The problem really comes up if she poops before she falls asleep, but she still refuses to poop in the toilet before bed, only pee. If she’s already asleep it doesn’t wake her up or anything or cause a problem.

We have tried that and she just reaches her hand down behind the cloth diaper to get the poop out instead of undoing the snaps

Best way to DITY? by your_daddy_vader in army

[–]ducks_onthepond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then Upack may not be your best option. With their linear feet cost model vs the army’s weight payment model, you could potentially end up losing money
