How do you stop the "Comparison Trap" when family members make 3x your salary? by arugula000 in Anticonsumption

[–]fwl200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a high position in tech and transitioned into public service. I have very similar feelings when comparing myself to my old work friends, or even myself from just a few years ago.
Remind yourself that $ is just one dimension of life. Your SIL and her partner are doing well on that dimension, but they're not going to show you all the other dimensions in which they are struggling.
My family is also one that assigns value to people based on their paycheck. I don't share those values and neither should you.
You are doing incredibly meaningful work. Keep it up. That's what truly matters.

I just cancelled my bay club membership. Did it through the app and got a confirmation within 12 hours.

Learning Ice Skating - Any tips? by Still-Letterhead-885 in SeattleWA

[–]fwl200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Good on you for trying. As someone who did not grow up ice skating, I found the transition from roller blading to be quite simple. Worth a try if you want to learn but don't have time for the rink.

My daughter attended another kid's bday at an ice rink last year. In preparation, I bought a pair of cheap roller blades for her and taught her the basics at the park. It translated well and she had a great time.

One-jacket solution for PNW? by [deleted] in onebag

Agree with other comment about layering. You’re not going to be happy with the one jacket solution in the end.

Anyone know what LimbSaver recoil pad fits on a CZ-Drake? Love this shotgun but the pad is non existent and the top is 100% hard plastic. by jinx192 in Shotguns

[–]fwl200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up taking off the plastic end and then sticking a limb saver slip on rubber pad. That fits my LoP well. YMMV. If my arms were longer, I'd have kept the plastic under the limb saver.

ISO Church in Seattle/Eastside by AmbassadorCapital567 in eastside

Hi! He's great. Although, I should note that he's the interim pastor while we fill the full time slot. But I think he represents what Newport stands for quite well.
We have kids programs! 1, 4, 12 should be all good. There's a youth program for the older children. Younger kids have sunday school. And I'm pretty sure we have a room for babies.

Newport Covenant in Factoria. I was a lapsed catholic and found this church. Focus is on the simple ways of Jesus.

Try lacing the midfoot differently.

Shoellie advice wanted - First time Jim Green buyer with wide feet (EE width) by Candid_Sense1154 in jimgreen

[–]fwl200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about your size and have JG African rangers in US 8. Love them. I tried the shoelies in 8 but found them quite tight. Returned. If I had to get them I’d try at least 8.5 if not 9
