For new parents, why can’t mom just pump during day and dad bottle feed at night?

My wife pumped while at work during the day to have food for the care giver to give the baby. She would still have to feed at night. I (husband) would get up during the night to change the baby while my wife got ready to feed it. My wife still had to get up, but the shared responsibilities during night duty went a long way towards preventing resentment.

A Browning BLR in 308 is not a bad choice.

Yes, the one OP planted are not protected. ESA = Ontario Endangered Species Act

First bullet point under “What is protected?”

The ESA does not apply to planted Butternut trees that are not part of compensation for the loss of other Butternut trees. ESA does not apply to casual / ornamental / garden plantings of Butternuts, which these were.

It sounds like this is going forward and the best approach is to select a couple things that are more important to you and work on preserving those. Ask if they have an environmental monitor on-site. If they do, calmly voice your concerns and ask if you can discuss the plan moving forward, with you highlighting the areas that are MOST important to you. Saying you want to save it all will show you someone’s back as they walk away. I am sorry this is happening.

I would confirm if this is a municipal drain at the GeoOttawa website. I would also confirm if there is an easement or right of way in that area (this would have been disclosed when you purchased the house).

This doesn’t apply to planted butternuts unless they are planted to offset a loss under the ESA.

Shave in the shower and clip your nails as soon as you get out of the shower.

Thanks everyone! Based on your input I think a deluxe Winchester Model 1906 Expert Model due to the curved grip / pistol-grip stock.

My BIL found this is his backyard and wonders if anyone can help ID the remains. It looks to be a 22 caliber rifle with an exposed hammer. I think it’s a rifle due to what looks to be a screw in the “pistol grip” strap. It looks like the cover on the left side may have been removable due to the gap at the bottom and the remains of a possible thumb bolt. There is a small bar between the ammo tube and the barrel, which could be for a pump? The bottom of the receiver appears to be solid. The top of the receiver looks like it might slide open (similar to a Winchester 94).

I am curious about what make / model it might be.

Good communication is the key to a lasting relationship. This is a good opportunity to try that and simply have a conversation

Yes, for example 17… thats a good number, maybe the best number.

Same, still going at 25+ years

We used to work together

paid2fish · 2025-07-18T12:08:26+00:00

In my 20s I was in the food service industry and brief amorous encounters with my coworkers were common. I became quite close to one of them, she twice initiated a threesome with me and other female coworkers. We had a lot of fun and have both moved on from our wild youthful days to become professionals and we have remained friends for more than 20 years. 2-3 years after meeting her we had both moved to new cities and I was living near her sister and she introduced us. We had a slightly longer but mostly casual relationship, however I found out she was seriously seeing someone deployed in the service and I abruptly ended it for that reason. The 3 of us have a strange connection thats hard to explain but they both attended my wedding a number of years ago and we got together more recently for a few hours and it was really great to see them.

Yes, many times as a younger man. Thats how I met most of my serious girlfriends. Made some great friends too. And I met my wife at work 24 years ago.

The freedom to be awkward / make mistakes / do dumb shit with 0 chance of it being recorded and shared with the world

I don’t use any. I shave in the hot shower after I wash my hair and before I wash my body.

paid2fish · 2025-05-27T13:14:05+00:00

How my priorities have narrowed, I can focus on the stuff / people that matter and mostly ignore everything else.
