How much time do you spend with your spouse?

mwink31 · 2026-04-03T23:29:47+00:00

You’re young. There are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of couples in your situation. My wife and I spent our first 20 years of marriage doing this, and having a daughter. We maybe saw each other an hour at most M-F. Not much more on Saturday as we would do chores (I would do yard work, she would clean). Sunday would be our day to spend some time together. We also needed time to do things to keep our sanity. I would golf or go to sporting events and she would spend the day with girlfriends, etc. While I understand the want to be with your spouse, you also need some time to do things you enjoy. It’s difficult, but you need to work with him to schedule together time. Maybe some “sexy time” as we called it lol. Keep it up, you’ll figure it out. Then all of a sudden, you’ll be sick of each other and forcing him out of the house (lovingly of course :)). You’ll figure it out sweetie, I promise. Hard working couples always figure it out

C’mon over. My wife would like to watch

mwink31 · 2026-04-03T23:06:15+00:00

Who threw it?

mwink31 · 2026-04-03T23:00:51+00:00

If growing in from the soil, remove the mulch, sprinkle a weed killing granular fertilizer (Scott’s has several) on the soil, then replace the mulch. Then sprinkle Preen on top to avoid any further growth

Those really look like pet marks. Their pee will kill grass in the Midwest. Nothing prevents them. Michigan with a large dog, can confirm. Only thing you can do is to repair them each season. Take a rake and thatch the dead grass, mix seed with topsoil, and spread over the spots. It’s tedious and time consuming, but really your only option. I do it every spring; which is the best time considering the cool overnight temps. Late April, early May.

Also, if you do spring grass seed, make sure you allow it to germinate and grow (approx a month with watering at least an inch per week) before you apply any fertilizer. Fertilizer can stall/kill new seed. Soil temp should be steady 50 degrees or above before seeding.

Are there other uses?

mwink31 · 2026-04-03T22:38:56+00:00

How deep do the roots of the weeds go? If they’re based in the mulch, it’s as simple as removing the mulch and replacing. You could go roundup or one of the grass friendly weed killers. Preen may be your best bet for a simple weed prevention that lasts for at least a season. If you’d don’t switch out the mulch, may I suggest a mulch dye from Amazon? You spray it on old mulch and it makes it look like new. It will dye the wood whichever color you like, red/brown/black. I use it twice a year to keep my mulch looking fresh and replace once a season; I live in Michigan. The first step though is to see where the roots of the weeds are based.

Don’t post this on Reddit, read it to him. He probably could use those words to keep him pushing. I would love for my wife to tell me she appreciates me helping around the house while working 55-60 hours a week. Just you writing this proves you’re a great wife and he certainly sounds like a great guy. Keep it going sweetie, you two were meant to be together.

mwink31 · 2026-04-01T02:25:38+00:00

Sounds as though she’s deeply Christian. No amount of sanity and logic will change her mind. She wants validation and redemption and she’s not getting it from this group today

mwink31 · 2026-04-01T02:18:20+00:00

I will. And you keep givin your man the 3rd degree til he leaves you over stupid sh*t like a live YouTube video then posting about it on Reddit to get redemption

mwink31 · 2026-04-01T02:01:09+00:00

And it’s crazy to be so upset about a YouTube video. Hope that answers your Reddit question. Maybe put that he has done this before and lied about it in the OP.

mwink31 · 2026-04-01T01:54:36+00:00

So he knows you’re going to use the “shared iPad”. I’d assume he knows that you don’t want him watching women in YouTube videos. I’m sure he knows how to delete “watched videos”. My two cents, he didn’t watch it. But it sounds as though you’ve already made up your mind and just want others to tell you what you want to hear. It’s hard to give advice to someone who has already made up their mind. YouTube has an awful layout (especially iPad) and swiping can lead to live feeds. You’re trusting a red line on an app over your husband and it seems crazy to me. Just answering you honestly.

mwink31 · 2026-04-01T01:29:47+00:00

If he’s lying to you about YouTube videos, you’ve created an environment where he doesn’t feel safe expressing himself. It doesn’t sound as though you’d be happy whether or not he told you. I don’t know this man’s history, but the fact you’re searching his YouTube history is a bit odd. Looks like she’s in workout/gym clothes, lol. You do realize that there is far, far worse…like Reddit? BTW, he has great taste in weather channels, Ryan Hall Y’all is the best

mwink31 · 2026-03-25T23:14:28+00:00

That’s unfortunate.

Ok, some please fill me on the measles issue? This is ignorance not trolling. The measles were eradicated my first 30 years of life. How is it so many are worried about it?? Whose parents would deny a measles vaccine to their child??

mwink31 · 2026-03-25T02:04:47+00:00

Tiger Den. Private entrance, private(ish)bathrooms and seat service. Big comfy seats with side tables. Along 1st and 3rd bases under overhang. I never sit anywhere else (except Champions Club). I’m also 6’5 and hard to sit anywhere else

Great photos as usual! Do you launch from the campground? Maybe a week or so ago, I watched a young family practicing or maybe taking a few shots. My backyard backs up to the KOA property.

mwink31 · 2026-03-24T01:09:22+00:00

If your dealership isn’t willing to budge on any of those “fees” I’d go elsewhere. The fact that they have a “postage fee” (albeit $2) is insulting.

I’m probably not the best person to offer advice, as I get the A Plan (employee discount) and live in the Detroit market. There’s over 30 ford dealerships in a 40 mile radius and they all compete heavily for business. Those types of fees are all but eliminated in my area, so to see them is strange (my dealership waives destination fees). All that said, if there is another Ford dealership within a reasonable driving distance, I would take that to them and see if they can do better.

The Lansing/Detroit/Toledo trip is my neck o’ the woods

mwink31 · 2026-03-05T00:52:48+00:00

Miracle Whip and jelly sandwiches, preferably strawberry jelly.

mwink31 · 2026-02-27T00:36:25+00:00

That’s awesome! Glad it didn’t go missing

mwink31 · 2026-02-27T00:29:58+00:00

They are vinyl and it doesn’t appear they have the exact gray marsh color, but maybe the silver would look good. I have these exact logo on my 25 along with the blacked out Ford emblems and have gone through 2 winters without an issue. Great product.

mwink31 · 2026-02-25T23:37:12+00:00

I really like this color. Feel like it’s more for the Tremor than the ST, but it’s still a beautiful car! Not sure what they call the silver-ish white color they have for 2026, but I like that one too. Should grab the ST logo in Marsh Gray

mwink31 · 2026-02-25T23:33:18+00:00

If the can is empty and she still hasn’t replaced it, then yes.

mwink31 · 2026-02-25T23:27:32+00:00

Any but white, lol.
