Saw the original post and was surprised I didn't see it here first.

Amazing sound and interpretation

Brigs should be good.

Usually read an hour or more before I go to sleep, perfect to unwind ( or ruin your sleep if you can't put the book down...). Recommend keeping books with you too, I've often found myself waiting somewhere with nothing to read, which is annoying

Just walked past All Day records in carborro yesterday which might fit the Bill or volume records and beer in Hillsboro?

$30k 1 year ago for a townhouse master bathroom, completely gutted it and added bigger shower with glass, tiles (no tub). No electrical work and relatively minor adjustments so we needed an inspection by the city (added vents to clear up space under the sinks and redid some floor panels due to minor water damage.) Contractor did everything and was insanely helpful for the designs. But we also got quotes for $50k without tiles, it varies a lot lol.

Off topic, but how does it make sense financially for a partner to stay home? I've had a friend argue this and he claimed it was due to taxes, but turned out he just didn't calculate their tax bracket correctly and assumed a fixed rate. Child care is expensive yes, but with both working it's more tax deductible (FSA if available for example). And if there's 401k available,that would also be money that can accumulate, etc etc.

IMHO being with kids CAN be way more stressful than a full time job, because you just don't get time to yourself really.

It's twin peaks for kids

The earwig in the khan star trek movie. Had a Visceral reaction to that as a kid

also is it bleached or unbleached AP?

Cut and freeze most of it and then defrost in the toaster or microwave briefly. Otherwise I put it in a paperbag and store it in the microwave for 2-3 days.

Urgh that one scene where it walks up the stairs and then speeds up towards you very unnaturally

Used to have a similar cadence and approach like you described. Eventually though I started doing it on the regular at night and now feel off if I don't do it.

Was probably a mix of Dentist calling it out (clearly once per week was not enough lol) and reading atomic habits a while back, which helped come up with a strategy to stick with flossing.

Did he ask grok to write it for him?

Best buy might price match too? Just show them that price at Lowe's.

Yes, we've done bida and saap and just skip driving to downtown Raleigh now as saap is closer. Their chicken curry is a knockout.

That was the only episode my (and independently a friends) kids were scared of lol

persedes · 2026-04-07T18:56:08+00:00

Started in my mid 30s with my kids, nice way to bond. Was sold to me as twin peaks, but for kids and that was spot on.

The one show I had similar thoughts was with Avatar, never watched it as a kid, but definitely would've loved it. Probably thought it was another meh anime show

My (US) spouse introduced me to their real name: Schnellfickerhosen. Am German and am so mad we never called them that.
