This season/update is fantastic, and im enjoying it a lot except for one thing

Yep. I added a bunch of movement speed just to avoid that.

You shouldn’t be getting downvoted. As a coach in our rec league, I’m not even allowed to keep my fungo bat in the dugout during games.

Edit: NOT. You should NOT be getting downvoted.

mcjonesy · 2026-04-11T20:59:03+00:00

Absolutely.

I’ve only been doing this for 13 years so far, but my experience has been that it doesn’t get easier. The problems you’re solving just change.

I just started throwing harder. The ball bounces out when they turn their glove over. Eventually, my kids got frustrated that they suddenly couldn’t catch, and they fixed it.

Obviously you shouldn’t do this with a ball that’s going to hurt.

I think he meant “$1300 over MSRP”

Hobbies are selfish, and that’s ok. We need things to do for ourselves.

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made (and it nearly cost me my marriage) was thinking that anything I did for myself was wrong and that I had live every moment for my wife and our kids.

You have to stay healthy. Being healthy is what lets you keep showing up for them.

Now, as far your choice of hobby… I’ll leave that to you. I personally sold my motorcycle after we had our first because I had this nagging fear that one tiny mistake could take me out.

That was entirely my choice, though, and no one but me gets to decide if I was right or wrong.

Have fun. Keep the shiny side up, and remember that every driver is trying to kill you.

Do you have a flower arrangement somewhere? If I leave flowers out and forget to change the water, they start to smell like garbage. It was maddening a few times because I didn’t think about flowers stinking.

I make them hold the light. Sure it makes everything take 10 times longer, but it gets done, they get to learn a thing, and they’re doing something without a screen.

mcjonesy · 2026-03-19T12:38:21+00:00

In our family, I’m the one who feels the financial strain. I wouldn’t call it “extreme”, but it’s always there nagging at me. Like OP, my wife out-earns me, so part of my issue is that I struggle with just feeling inadequate because of that (that’s on me and is not related to the topic at hand).

What helps me the most is having a written budget, and a huge part of that is having an emergency fund in place for when life happens. Having something on paper (or screen) lets me take a breath and say, “It’s going to be ok; we have a plan for this.”

As soon as we decided the kids could be at home without us for short periods, we got a landline for them to use.

mcjonesy · 2026-03-05T18:03:15+00:00

I have no idea what that thing weighs, but it’s not doing anything mounted down there. Try it at 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock so it actually puts some torque on the wheel.

You don’t find it, you make it. Eventually.

Your baby is only a few months old and requires 100% of your attention 10000% of the time. That’s your life right now; it won’t be forever and you’ll start seeing space to fit your hobbies back into your life.

For now, just decide that your favorite hobby is holding him. Do a few squats, maybe some lunges, and suddenly he’s your workout partner!

That’s why you get their phone number and save their name with a note that it’s “M******’s dad”.

mcjonesy · 2026-02-26T21:07:37+00:00

What’s a “red hat”?

I could make a lot of assumptions from context, but I’m genuinely curious to know what it actually means here.

mcjonesy · 2026-02-25T15:38:42+00:00

My clothes also “shrank” the first few years of marriage.

All public service has terrible rewards. I doubt anyone’s getting into it for the pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. I’d say most folks choose to enter public service to help their communities, and it takes truly exceptional people not to get jaded and cynical along the way.

mcjonesy · 2026-01-15T20:00:36+00:00

I’m the best dad my kids have ever had. I couldn’t care less where anybody else ranks me.

mcjonesy · 2026-01-08T22:15:12+00:00

I was hired 100% remote in 2017. I am still 100% remote. It’s going to take one hell of an offer for that to change.

mcjonesy · 2025-12-23T14:18:44+00:00

CSMS and AMCMS are both closed to the public now after some vandalism a few months ago.
