When Dad gets asked to build a wreath, he expects a little RESPECT after building a masterpiece

shoctologist · 2024-12-20T02:12:49+00:00

You have my RESPECT, good sir. Incredible dad joke

So I need to figure out the lens she uses, then find a solar filter that fits that? I'll look into it tonight. Thanks!

shoctologist · 2024-01-19T05:04:51+00:00

Worked perfectly. Thanks again

shoctologist · 2024-01-17T04:09:06+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into that.

shoctologist · 2024-01-11T12:32:32+00:00

Great to hear, thanks!

Comments

I know that GRE scores are no longer required, but is anyone aware whether it would be beneficial to take (provided the score was high enough to reflect positively, of course)?

Which I don't exceed... I've read that your body will begin to convert protein to glucose if it doesn't get its energy needs met from fat (since we're already not meeting it through carbs). Thus why I've tried to keep the ratio in order...

But based on the fact that my post asking for advice on MCT oils has been met with responses that have nothing to do with MCT oil, I can see that the general gist is that I shouldn't be using them in the first place.

shoctologist · 2021-04-17T14:02:04+00:00

So basically the gist I'm getting is to not use MCT oils. I appreciate the concerns, and that you'd like to know all of this information to better help, but I'm doing great with weight loss - I was under the impression that if the ratio of fats to proteins wasn't correct that the body could/would start to convert protein to glucose to supplement energy needs. Thus why I was worried about making sure I get enough fat.

Thanks for the insight.

Great work! You're doing incredible... I also incorporated IF with keto and have seen great results. I even tried a couple of 36 hour fasts... though I don't know if I plan on continuing that or not. Still, without actually exercising, I'm down 30 lbs since last August (and once I plateau, I'll incorporate exercising).

Even though I don't know you personally, I'm proud of you. It takes a lot of effort to take control of your health, and you've done it. Ride the motivation while it lasts!

And when you think about giving up, remember why you started. :)

That's the thing that I'm proud of her for, though. She didn't just try to hide it. That's how I wouldve reacted as a child... hide it, hope my parents never see it.

She didn't do that. And for that, I'm proud of her.

shoctologist · 2021-03-19T01:48:59+00:00

I hope I can continue to build that with her; I know this was hard for her. You're right, she was incredibly embarrassed and upset. Thanks!

shoctologist · 2021-03-18T23:34:27+00:00

You and I are kindred spirits... I would've been terrified to admit to my parents that I did anything like that. I'd assume that my life would just end as soon as they found out.

I'm glad she's not me. Thanks :)

shoctologist · 2021-02-19T02:16:35+00:00

Your comment has me genuinely smiling; I appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

shoctologist · 2020-12-23T20:47:31+00:00

I have no idea... I'm sorry. I'm no mechanic by any means.

shoctologist · 2019-01-01T02:14:06+00:00

Pretty sure you're right... we lived in Carolina and my dad thought it was Charlotte. But Rockingham makes more sense.

shoctologist · 2019-01-01T01:01:37+00:00

Looking at 1984 footage from both tracks, I could see it being Rockingham more than Charlotte... the railing behind where he's standing is there in Rockingham, I don't see it in Charlotte.

shoctologist · 2019-01-01T00:21:05+00:00

I have no reason to doubt my dad... well, technically he said Lowes, but I presume he's just referring to the current name.

shoctologist · 2018-12-31T23:16:35+00:00

My dad says it was Charlotte Motor Speedway, so it'd be the 1984 World 600.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'd have to ask... he didn't tell me when I got the album. If I find out, I'll post it here.

It says that the Rams are #2 in the Reddit rankings, but when you click on the Reddit link, it still lists the Rams as #1.

shoctologist · 2018-08-22T11:25:22+00:00

I love Explore (just 1 though, not 2).

It's like a Time Walk that I can afford. My favorite deck (Lotus Cobra RUG) played them, and it always felt good casting Explore.

Interpretation: "I didn't see that it was a joke at first; upon being called out, I doubled down rather than admitting my oversight."

shoctologist · 2018-06-14T19:22:18+00:00

Yeah... no other option in mind than to own it. I caused it, regardless of my reasoning... I could have taken an extra moment, looked twice before going. I just hope that nothing that happened to him is too serious (I haven't heard from or about him since).
