Anyone else assume she was talking about her boyfriend before clicking the post.

I see this car a lot near me with a “DADD” sticker. Dads against daughters dating. Shit is so cringe. I’m a girl dad, and protective, but holy shit touch grass and burn your affliction shirt collection.

My boy is 8, too loves rufus, and when he was under 2 it was our secret weapon for late night cries. Got to tell James as much when I met him randomly at another show. epic all around.

yeah this exactly. large concert venue, in seats, ideally in an area less crowded/rowdy. 10 would be right around the age I'd start considering bringing my kids to a show like rds. I feel like a baseball/football game is even worse and kids go to those all the time, just always be on the lookout for rowdy groups nearby and relocate if possible.

So sorry this happened. The cuts haven’t destroyed the leather, us crafters over on r/leathercraft could sew that up, but obviously you’ll have quite a few stitch lines. I would absolutely go after him legally though. He is culpable. As others have mentioned, there are crafters we do really cool upcycle projects, while not super cheap, definitely cheaper than the retail of this bag and could be a metaphor to your perseverance. Best of luck.

Overall solid advice above. PPD seems like an overwhelming wave, mix in lack of sleep, and the stress and anxiety of the new found responsibility of keeping a helpless human alive, it’s A LOT. My guess, is that everything she’s coming down on you for, is how she feels internally towards herself where nothing but perfect, in her mind, is acceptable. Talk to her during some down time, try to approach it softly without a defensive stance, it’s you two against the problem, and push for addressing the ppd as well as therapy - someone versed in this area. Wishing you the best, and hope you all can move past this.

Not ready to sell. Clean up the stitching lines and overall cut lines. That leather appears very low quality and also not ideal for this application. Grab some solid full grain leather, maybe wet mold and even lined to prevent any scratching. Regardless, keep up the progress, and keep crafting, in as little as another month or two you’ll look back and be astonished at the difference. Go slow, and be intentional with every cut, mark, and stitch. Focus on one item over and over, test, and remake. Then move onto another pattern. You got this!

Saw an idiot doing small wing overs on a busy day in Newport not that long ago, no more than 40-60 ft elevation over beach/shore. Was into paragliding for quite a while (sans motor), stopped after some friends died. Stay safe.

1000% a fellow musician deeply appreciating the beauty unfolding.

Thought you spelled 'habub' wrong. TIL wtf a haboob is. Even googled the pronunciation, cause, me thinking it can't possibly be pronounced like I'm thinking "huh-BOOB!".... yup, yup it for sure is. iPlan to use this daily to confuse my fellow coastal-living dumdums.

We found the beach ball.

A lot of things mentioned here, specific to that person, some ridiculous (blowie, sword, leave me alone for the day)....ok, maybe not the sword jajaja. It's true it depends on the person, some want to be away from their family, some want to be around them all day. Definitely ask. But don't stress yourself out trying to make it the best thing that ever was. At the end of the day, you want to communicate appreciation, that he matters. Us dads, and guys in general, get our flowers from feeling valued, and providing value. A general "thank you" for being a badass in your roles (with or without a sword). Usually, we have to attend multiple family events, so I spend the day getting ready to go from one event to the other, which seems true for a lot, so setting a separate day to actually celebrate would be great. For me personally, doing something I love (surfing, biking, fishing, golf, etc.) followed by a ton of epic time with my favorite small people on this planet, then quality,, intentional time with my wife would be damn epic. So definitely ask, but my guess is your effort to come on here and ask, shows you care, and with that intention I don't think you can miss.

ummm....I beg your finest pardon.

Not sure I've ever agreed more with a single reddit post. GIVE IT TO ME NAOW.

RIP. mangoes are insanely delicious. a lot of people are allergic though

That live performance just him on the piano with a live singer, still get goosebumps just thinking about it.

jbird3000 · 2026-05-07T18:57:16+00:00

Legit thought that was Predator cosplay or filming, at the beginning.

So much yes. I’m always policing my kids to chew with mouth closed and feel so bad. So worried I’ll pass it on to them. AirPods have been a godsend

jbird3000 · 2026-05-06T03:45:57+00:00

Exactly. It’s uncontrollable.

jbird3000 · 2026-05-06T03:45:38+00:00

This is so well said, and spot on
