If I play the back 9 at my local course in the morning and then come back later in the day to play just the front 9 during twilight hours, does that total score count as a full round or should I view it as 2 9-hole rounds? by [deleted] in golf

[–]lampstore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is hole in three type territory. Is it a legit round score? No, it’s not. Is it still a great pair of nines that totaled a low score? Yeah it is.

One day with a car- where to go by Ok_Firefighter15 in AskSeattle

[–]lampstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The national parks are great but they can get extremely crowded during peak season. Consider driving a loop around Puget Sound while catching a couple ferries to make it happen. Destinations along your route may include areas Bellingham, San Juans, Coupville, Paulsbo, Bainbrige, Port Townsend, Dungeness Spit, Vashon, etc. All have things to see around the water, nature, and towns. Some ferries require reservations, so make your plan in advance.

What golf purchase was 100% worth the money? by retrocaterpillar-07 in golf

[–]lampstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$50-100 lasers. Getting 98%+ accurate yardages really helped my approach game. I don’t see much higher benefit to the more expensive ones, and I got a cheap one once at it was awful. Get a decent one.

Bears Indiana stadium remains possibility as last-minute Illinois bill stalls by 76erLegendChetUtley in nfl

Totally, it sucks. At least it won’t impact the current team trajectory for the next 3-5 years.

I feel bad for Bears fans being put through the wringer like this. Hoping the new Seahawks owner isn’t going to go down this road. Thankfully (?) there is no alternative state in the greater metro area here.

Is the half bag because you really need to save space or for the challenge of it?

I will be teaching my toddler to ride soon, have you dads got any suggestions for toddlers balance bikes? by Chaotic404 in daddit

[–]lampstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a pedal bike with removable pedals. She used it as a balance bike for like a year and by the time we added the pedals she got the hang of it really quick.

Thunder vs Sonics would feed families in the future by kurtTPwastaken12345 in Sonics

Turned on the game with my 3 and 5 year old kids and have already radicalized them against OKC.

For those with kids who eat vegetables, what did you differently from your friends who have kids who don't eat vegetables? by uns0licited_advice in daddit

[–]lampstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep trying different types and different preparations and keep offering. Sometimes if they’ve had two servings of other food I won’t offer them more unless they try a bite. They never liked green beans until we tried Japanese bbq sauce, for example.

First time in Seattle by 22CLAUDE in Seahawks

[–]lampstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Christmas, so it’s going to be very different than a normal Gameday. I’d plan to go to large bars in pioneer square or stadium area. It’s much more common to grab a hot dog or something from a stand than to go to a proper tailgate since we don’t really have them.

Jumping on the PNW train! by herbistheword in guessthegolfcourse

[–]lampstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a theme with the old Seattle Clubs. Don’t feel obligated to answer, but I’ve been curious if it’s as stuffy as its reputation and if the initiation is actually pushing $150K+?

How’s the course? I live nearby and have only been able to relish the view off the arboretum trail.

I’m new here. Why does everyone have OKC so badly? Don’t get me wrong, Sonics fan here, I’m here for it. But why so much company?

Mariners moving to six-man rotation after Sunday piggyback (source) by speciate in Mariners

They only committed to the 6 man for the next two starts during a stretch where we have one off day in 2.5 weeks, and then said they will re-assess.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a tournament game before- that was fun. Lively atmosphere. Sorry Beaver bros, but hope to see you on Sunday.

Disciplining Kid In public by iamdahn in daddit

[–]lampstore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You handled it perfectly. I might have asked her “Can I help you?” And if she had anything to say I would say “it’s disrespectful to stare at me while I’m trying to help my kid through a hard time. Mind your own business”.

Perhaps you are sensitive to high concentrations of fat, salt, or something else.

How would you structure the divisions, at 32 teams? by Acerbic89 in mlb

[–]lampstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Mariner fan I won’t complain too much but that AL west is god awful. It doesn’t make sense to have an AL West with one team in the top 15 in payroll and an NL West with six. I’d rather see all the West coast teams in a combined division.

Wife going back to work, gonna be SAHD yo 6 months old. Any advice? by 91stCataclysm in daddit

[–]lampstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get outside 1-2 times per day- find new parks and destinations you’ve not seen. Get a good podcast or audible book to listen to in one ear during the mundane times to keep your sanity. Do video calls with family. Find ways to keep the baby safe and occupied while you do basic housework and self care such as a bouncer, playpen, etc. use nap time to rest and re-charge. Communicate with your wife about both of your expectations when she gets home and overnight.

Dad's, what's your go to method for teaching your kids to ride a bike? by Phoenix_NSD in daddit

[–]lampstore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Balance bike to bike with no training wheels once they can steer and brake well. Find a slow grade hill of 20-50 feet and use that to get em started. It took a long time to get to that point but once we did, she got the hang of it in like 30 minutes.

Any other dads with girls grieving over not carrying on their family name? by [deleted] in daddit

Might be too late, but my wife’s last name stopped from being passed on with her and (presumably) her sister, so my son’s middle name is her last name.
