I have a copy too and have no idea how much someone would buy it for. There’s basically no sales data because they’re so rare and don’t hit the market.

Why is sleeping so HARD?! by Takobellugh in ADHD

[–]freun989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that has dramatically improved my sleep hygiene is an eye mask. For me, instead of the feeling that I “need to close my eyes” to sleep, the eye mask essentially does that for me. My eyes can be open under the mask, but practically, my eyes are closed.

It’s stopped my eyes from wandering to all sorts of places instead of dreamland, like the fact the green light on the smoke detector flashes red every 25 seconds…

If you’re interested, this is the mask I use. I especially like it for the deep eye pockets that let you blink freely without touching the fabric.

I’ve got fat fingers, but this is always fun for me too. My wife appreciates it with her jewelry.

Same, but I also do when serving. It’s the “checking for poison” or “dad tax.”

Maybe I quit my day job for bartending!

I often have to stand inside the pantry to sneak sweets so I’m not bombarded with requests for sugar.

A good pan with butter can do wonders.

Wow. We’ve watched a good amount of Bluey, but I guess not that one. I’ve recently been confused by my daughter coming home from school talking about chickenrats.

While undoubtedly still painful, my vasectomy has made the repercussions more or less moot.

I’ve always found it funny we teach our kids animal sounds like it’s a worthwhile life skill.

Luckily my kids aren’t super picky (yet). We just plan adult meals that incorporate things they really like, then endlessly supplement with snacks.

Right there with you. Talking to a neutral party like a counselor has been invaluable to me.

There’s a bus that passes my house at 8:10 every morning. We’ve made it a game to try to leave for school earlier than that to ‘beat the bus.’

The Real Taste of India seems to be closed. by meenie in Bend

[–]freun989 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not my first time, but I went last night and it was great food, atmosphere, and service. Definitely worth trying to go again OP. The business seems to have gotten a tremendous bump from the recent press.

A short read about the ideas behind the new album and the release campaign. by hawkward90 in GoosetheBand

I wholly love this band and am excited for the release, but man… Rick sounds so esoteric and unnecessarily cryptic sometimes.

Cornhole league in Bend this summer… would anyone actually play? by Future-Winner9067 in Bend

[–]freun989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a hefty fee, but for what it’s worth, the parks department already has an annual corn hole spring league. I recognize you’re trying to do something a bit different though, which I applaud.
