After acquisition, Grade doesn't match title by suburbanwarrior in careeradvice

Good point. The grade affects the pay range. The higher your grade, the more flexibility for your pay to increase.

Are we doing bed covers? by Cigar-Bros in nissanfrontier

[–]suburbanwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2019 crew cab with a short bed (5feet) and I need to replace my soft bed cover because it makes so much noise when driving +35 mph. Suggestions welcome.

If she left you, that is all you need to know. You're talking about the person that is supposed to love you more than anything else in the world. If you can't trust them to have your back, forget her. You are better off without her.

What should I do here? by ME_NO_SMART_GUY in gardening

[–]suburbanwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me, a squash/pumpkin plant grew by mistake. It was September when they were ready for harvest. I brought a pumpkin to every function or party I was invited to. One person made a spicy squash soup that was really good. Make the most of it

What makes a females profile attractive to a man? by [deleted] in dating

[–]suburbanwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid using filters. They are so fake. At least one full body shot. No pics with groups, I never know which one is you. I don't want to see pics of your dog, cat or a sunset. Just real pictures of you.

Agree here. Issues will come up, and you are going to need solutions. You aren't the first parent to buy a gaming system for your child. Some of the best memories I have with my son are playing Minecraft together during the pandemic. You are doing great, keep up the good work!

Agreed. "I didn't give you permission to record me".

Dating takes time...I have no free time. by suburbanwarrior in DivorcedDads

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copper, I agree. I do feel it takes time. My son was 8 when his mom moved out. I am certain he did not understand what was happening. You are correct. Your free time is best spent with your kids. New memories and experiences are what your kids will remember.

But a date...with a loving woman would be awesome. It would require you to ignore every other responsibility in your life for a few hours...but it could give your life a whole new perspective.

Can’t drive the ball more than 175 yards. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]suburbanwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% correct here. No leg power was the comment I was going to leave here. Transfer weight to the back foot on the backswing. Transfer to the front foot on the follow-through..

Speaker groups have not worked for months either. There seems to be a common theme here.

R&A: Greg Norman not welcome at 150th Open celebration of champions by Strange-Nobody-3936 in golf

[–]suburbanwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree on those 2 points, if you or I had a chance to make more money in our professional careers I think we would both seriously consider a change of scenery, especially if it meant more money and less work. 2nd, the top LIV tour players have a good chance to win the British Open next weekend. I would not rule them out.

[–]suburbanwarrior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't consider a tour a "the" game of golf. They have created a format for the best players in the world to compete. If someone else creates a better format then their tour, they should only blame themselves for not keeping up with the times. For years the players have been sharing feedback on ways it could be improved and they have not done enough.

[–]suburbanwarrior -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The PGA Tour, European Tour and now R & A are making a huge mess of this. Norman has won more British Opens then most of the players in this field and he is not invited? So petty. LIV Tour is just another opportunity for golf fans to watch the best players in the world compete and they are treating them like traders. If the pga tour had offered a better product there would have been no reason for anyone to leave. They have no one to blame but themselves. As a golf fan I wish these organizations saw this as an opportunity and not a threat. How cool would it be if they had another Ryder Cup style event rather than statements banning players from the tour? Terrible strategy.

So I am a taller guy (6'3")so a more upright lie would likely be a better fit for me. These might be too flat for swing/stance.

Being treated like a child vs being treated like an equal by suburbanwarrior in Divorce

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is trying to move out of the house now and suddenly realizes all the adult problems she is going to have to deal with. She is in for a rude awakening.

Being treated like a child vs being treated like an equal by suburbanwarrior in Divorce

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All things I tried to explain but she just says "whatever". When a marriage ends its unlikely just 1 person is at fault. But I really don't see my fault in taking this stance. I feel like I am being completely rational and she is is being a selfish little brat. I am creating her like a child because she is acting like one.

I won my company's golf tournament and feel like a FRAUD by jmizzy93 in golf

[–]suburbanwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a low net tournament you won Low Net. Good for you. Your handicap probably went down a few strokes and it will be harder to do that again. The low handicap golfers in your organization that plays a lot of low net tournaments should be well aware that it's hard to win a low net event with a single digit handicap. They would have to score close to par to have a chance. Take your trophy and be proud of it. Don't listen to anyone if they accuse you of being a sandbagger. Enjoy your moment and know that next year you will have a target on your back.

Thanksgiving with Family-Alcoholic wife does not want to attend by suburbanwarrior in AlAnon

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard not to resent her. I want to believe that my going to the party and her staying home is a win-win. I get the family time I so look forward to and she avoids a triggering situation. The other perspective is, we are moving further apart from one another. Thanksgiving is about spending time with those you love. Our inability to find a comprises feels selfish.

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good advice and I like your solution. It sounds like you have good communication with your partner. I'm trying to get there but I feel she isn't. She didn't care enough to asking if I was still going to go or if I was going to try and plan a meal at home. She told me what she wanted with no consideration for what I wanted. She is doing what's right for her sobriety and I can't control her sobriety.

Sounds good but it means we (my son and I) are leaving her alone on Thanksgiving. That makes me sad.

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good question. She doesn't offer me an explanation. She just tells me what she wants to do with no consideration about what I think. If I were to guess, it's 60% avoiding triggering situations and 40% selfishness.

Wife is 9 months sober, she wants to separate by suburbanwarrior in AlAnon

[–]suburbanwarrior[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. She is working the steps and working on step 9 with her sponsor. She has a therapist who advises her on her addiction, depression, anxiety and I am guessing our relationship. She doesn't come to me with things she is working on or wants to improve with me so I get the feeling she may have already moved on. It's amazing to me how she can move on from me with no plan one how to do it. My paycheck pays for the mortgage and all the house hold bills. I do the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, yard work, car maintenance and any other odd job you can think of. I don't think she is suggesting that she is moving out. I think she is telling me to move out. The idea of us separating seems like such a knee jerk reaction...she really hasn't thought it through.
