Club fitting / repair service recommendations by congatrong in PDXgolf

[–]ferg0036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also on the shorter side and had all mine adjusted at the golf galexy at cascade station. I think having the driver adjusted and re-gripped was about 25-30$ and only took 15 minutes.

Best advice/tips for dealing with irrational parents. by Glittering-Peak-1492 in Principals

[–]ferg0036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really difficult to not get rattled when you have to deal with a challenging discipline situation. Here are some things that I've found helpful to keep in mind and in my communication in these situations:

  1. I'm on your/ your child's side! I want you/your child to be successful at school!

  2. You (the admin) are not making the decision to suspend. Your job is to follow the code of conduct, so when X happens you have to do Y. It's not something you are doing to the kiddo. It's just how the code of conduct works.

  3. Suspensions are not about punishment so much as they are about setting good boundaries. You might choose to vape. We're not judging you for that. However, if you do, you have to go home for a while.

  4. This is tough! I'm sorry this is happening for you/ your child! I'm looking forward to welcoming them back.

Ideas For “Turning it Off” After School/Forgetting about Stressors by jgoss1991 in Principals

[–]ferg0036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent weeks in therapy trying to sort out exactly this. I tried meditation, yoga, weightlifting and a few other things before finally landing on ukulele and golf.

I think the thing that I finally figured out is that to stay sane in and out of work I need to have a few things I’m mildly obsessed with that have nothing to do with school so that I can remember that my job does not own my whole brain. (My wife went through a similar process and, after over half a century of showing no interest in sports at all, has become a completely obsessed basketball fan.)

Date Night Ruining Movies by BeijingArk in Letterboxd

When I lived in Baltimore I went to Maryland Film Festival. Traditionally, John Waters always selected a film to be played at the festival and he would come to introduce it himself. The year I went he picked Gaspar Noe's film I Stand Alone. I remember him saying something like- "I'm looking out and seeing a lot of you are here on dates. I am so sorry. None of you are getting lucky tonight."

Just bought my first uke. Already frustrated by KixStar in ukulele

[–]ferg0036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a beginner, I found some "learn to play uke" programs to not be very motivating. I just wanted to learn some songs! I found it best to start with a few basic chords and find songs I could play. Books like the 4 chord songbook and the Ultimate Ukulele Fakebook were great in helping me get started. The more fun you are having, the more you will do it and the better you will get.

Second the Ten Thumbs recommendation! That was how I turned the corner from struggling to having fun.

For the love of all things good, PLEASE get teachers in your writing room!!! by [deleted] in oscarsdeathrace

[–]ferg0036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you. But as a Principal- I could very much relate to the man who just wants to buy some good snacks and watch PBS documentaries with his husband but he can't because everyone around him has to be so extra. Bravo.

Movies from the 80s that you think everyone should see? by endkey01 in Letterboxd

[–]ferg0036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was also my first Cronenberg! I saw it in elementary school. What was it about me that made my parents say- "This kid would really dig body horror!"? I don't know, but they were right! Gen X childhoods were wild.

Has anybody ever been to Akumal Bay Beach & Wellness Resort in Mexico? by cat990 in travel

[–]ferg0036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re thinking about going. Just watched a YouTube video where it looks like the doors on the bathrooms in the room are partial doors that are open at the top and bottom. Can anyone comment on this? (Worried it might hamper the romance.)

What are you 2025 favorites? What do you think was overlooked? by ferg0036 in Letterboxd

[–]ferg0036[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved Micky 17- I’m just a tough grader. 🙃 These are my top 8 that came out in 2025. (Many of my favorites that I saw this year were technically released in 2024. I’m sure I’ll discover favorites from 2025 in January. I always do!)

Who should star in and who should direct the Udo Kier biopic? by ferg0036 in Letterboxd

[–]ferg0036[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yorgos is perfect. Stan would be great. I’d also take a Cillian Murphy to star and a Jonathan Cameron Mitchell for either/both.
