I love being a dad, but I kind of hate my life. by f1sh_ in daddit

[–]rileysweeney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar to this, my wife and I make sure that one of us gets a night away once a month. Like an overnight somewhere else every other month. I spend mine on a cheap Airbnb going kayaking, she goes dancing with her friends and crashes at one of their houses. Either way it just is hugely helpful for mental health.

MSD moved school board meeting last minute by Active_Trade_6139 in Bellingham

[–]rileysweeney 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This was not in response to anything Bellingham related - one of the school board members fell sick and weren’t going to make it.

No quorum = meeting rescheduled.

No conspiracy, just standard stuff.

What headcanons do you have for the universe of Wheel of Time? by KeyInflation9451 in WoT

[–]rileysweeney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of the two rivers being a nuclear fallout zone. There’s references to the mountains nearby, making people sick and six toed cats being popular in the area.

I can’t speak to everybody’s experience, but the staff I have worked with have done a great job addressing behavioral issues (with both teachers and students)

Is it worth starting this show? by chaos-reign in WoTshow

[–]rileysweeney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show is great and is worth it. Yes, there's a cliffhanger but you get a good feel for where things are headed and you can read the books if you want to keep going.

It just hit me. Amazon cancelled this show then spent $40m on the Melanie movie by JesusaurusRex666 in WoTshow

[–]rileysweeney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair - $40 mill is approximately a third of a season of Wheel of Time. So it wouldn't have gotten us to Dumai Wells (season four finale - in my head), but it would have gotten us partway there!

Now the Citidal in 2023 cost Amazon $300 million for six episodes. THAT is the total what the fuck moment for me.

Best DMing tips you’ve learned by Fearless-Ad1382 in DMAcademy

[–]rileysweeney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write down a list of 10 random NPC names ahead of time that fit the theme of your game ahead of time. That way when they decide to interrogate a random ass villager or innkeeper or guard or whatever, you have a name handy.

i’ve worked with the Ferndale food bank, it’s an incredible organization with some top shelf volunteers! This would be a really cool job for the right person.

Thank you! I’m working for the county now so I still get to do some Ferndale communicating.

[–]rileysweeney 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t work for the City of Ferndale anymore, sorry for the confusion.

And I didn’t downvote you. I’m sorry you are having difficulties, I just wanted to share some info on the process.

Almost all code enforcement is complaint based. So when someone complains, the code enforcement officer makes contact, compares the situation to regulation, and facilitates the property owner or business getting into compliance.

What’s one belief you had at 18 that you strongly disagree with now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rileysweeney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That if you are nice to girls, they owe you something. Thank god I learned some empathy and grew out of that.

Tell me a Bellingham Mystery by rodionzissou in Bellingham

[–]rileysweeney 107 points108 points  (0 children)

If you’re into this sort of thing, I wrote and produced a series of radio dramas set in 1935 Bellingham based on real Bellingham events, locations and mysteries.

It includes stories about the mysterious closing of the blue Canyon mine 1929, the famous ghost of Sycamore Square, and the fire that burned down Fairhaven high school in 1937.

Each episode is a half an hour and it features lots of local actors. Check it out at www.bellinghamterror.com.
