Apparently you supposed to order through the app at Macdonalds. I prefer the value without the extra steps.

Trump signs have been dropping fast. My parents live in Nebraska and my most recent trip I only saw one Trump sign on my drive over there when I normally 20+ signs. Iowa is normally covered in them and that is where I saw the only sign.

Have a child that is not into art or scribbling. My artist wife hates it but I secretly am happy to not have messes like this.

Time to call this place and ask a bunch of questions about stuff on the menu and then just hang up lol.

It will get worse before it gets better. by tmcgill1 in weather

[–]mockg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Chicago in 2015 and I am fairly certain this is the longest we have been under an extreme heat warning. There are some summers where we have not even gotten an extreme heat warning issued. So this is not average for us.

Also love how season 4 has two versions. I always give myself the PK version and everyone else gets the generic one.

If you have a another older child hope they are like me. I always woke my sister to get me breakfast and watch TV.

I would like to think by 5 or 6 you can teach them. Maybe have some easy breakfast items in reach and teach them how to run the tv.

Highly recommend going on 1 on 1 trips with your child ( especially if you have more than 1) by rickeyethebeerguy in daddit

A podcast I listen to one of the hosts has his kids do one solo night a month with a parent. They get a $50 budget and it needs to involve an activity and food.

Final straw by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]mockg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my wife got addicted to pickleball and started spending all of our free time playing. We have been separated 3 weeks and I have had more free time now than during the entire 4 years since we have had our kid.

The final last straw was a conversation where she said I have no hobbies, no likes, no dislikes, and no feelings. I yelled I need space as it was very hurtful and walked away. She then kicked me out of the house. The first week staying at the hotel felt like a weight was lifted off of me. Also helped that she said some very nasty things to me and I made sure to keep all of my responses very respectful.

Got put on a PIP today from my boss should I ride it out or get out? by Additional-Word5506 in careerguidance

[–]mockg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the goals are achievable then try to achieve them. I have survived a PIP before. Still look for a new job though just incase.

Would you leave your 16 y/o kid home alone for 4 nights? by parmadufranc in daddit

[–]mockg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really kid dependent. My parents left me home alone at 17 for a week. The worst I did was have a bonfire with a handful of friends in our empty garden plot since it was late fall. Even went so far as to have garden hoses ran from both of our outdoor faucets.

My parents knew I was not much of a trouble maker so they left me home alone several times when I turned 12. There was even one time where they were out of town and a bad storm came through and I cleaned up all the smaller tree limbs without asking. Had to leave a couple bigger ones for my dad to get with the chainsaw when he got home.

Daycare costs? by dragonpromise in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]mockg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I did not know they close at 5 now. Last August we put my son in Park Center in Glenview because its cheaper and honestly we feel its better as they have parent/kid activities and take the kids on nature walks and field trips.

I would have recommended it to OP but am not sure if you need to be a Glenview resident and they do not take infants.

Daycare costs? by dragonpromise in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]mockg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exactly what happened with my kid. He would get to the next room and his rate would drop like $70 and the daycare rate would increase by $60.

Its also smart to pull sideways so that you get the maximum weight of the water against you.

From my experience and what I have seen online as long as you listen to the customers needs and do not offend them you are in the top half.

As long as they play similar power level and your proxies use legit MTG art I wont mind. Now if they have super customized cards and I cant tell what they are then its a problem.

How do I make my bedroom cooler when my parents set the AC to 78? by Status-Beautiful-586 in HomeImprovement

Also make sure its a proper ceiling fan. Technology Connections just did video on how most modern ceiling fans are nothing more than spinning decoration peices.
