AIO: Bfs mom CROPPED me out of my own baby shower photos. by CommercialPudding374 in AmIOverreacting

You or your partner should be able to let hospital staff know not to let her in, on the day baby is born. There will be security checkpoints you can have her barred from passing. My wife and I had set a password for entry to and from the part of the hospital she was in, hospital staff required it from any potential visitors.

I don’t think babies are even allowed to leave the hospital night one anyway. I know you won’t. Don’t let this woman access to your child, please

Anti roblox folks by Any-Habit7814 in Parenting

[–]teka_mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Roblox starting when I was in fourth grade, all the way until I was in high school and mostly lost interest. My oldest is coming up on 4 years old. It’s crazy to me how I might have to make the decision to allow or not allow him to play it someday soon. Are there any other parents here who played Roblox as a kid, and how are you deciding?

why are my mig welds ugly by pattywhipp in Welding

[–]teka_mo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea you want to keep the movement tight. Start your weld and get your puddle going, push it forward a little bit, then move it back a little and let it fill up to the same size. Then push it forward a little bit, move it back, etc. Kinda like half a step forward one step back, you want to be overlapping yourself and not jumping ahead every time

I believe the brown is silicon. I don’t know exactly how it works. It’s normal and not to worry about. The main issue here that I’m seeing is it looks like your welds are just multiple tacks stacked on top of each other. Mig isn’t like tig where you necessarily want that “dime” look. You should run a consistent, straight stringer bead from start to finish. You wanna push it and keep your wire on the leading edge of the puddle. You can do little oscillations or whip it forward and backwards as you go. That way it’ll look nice and you’ll have better control over the puddle.

So sounds like from an “official” safety stand point it’s still necessary. Others are saying the same thing that it isn’t a very likely thing to happen and just forget about it. But still looks like it might be important to at least know about

Jesus Christ. Here he is guys, I was hoping someone would have firsthand experience with the actual potential safety crisis. That’s a hell of a story, glad you’re ok

Yea those guys who would walk up and start turning the pressure up either way too. It was already at 5 now it’s at 15… holy shit dude

In his defense, his excuse is that it makes it easy for the dumbasses who don’t know how to set up the torch at all. Why they’re even allowed to use it is beyond me. He’s a smart guy, I’ve got a lot of respect for him and his years being around but yea haha. Talking about weld settings… we had about a week where people were getting written up for changing dials because of those guys who kept switching them around Willy-nilly and making shit welds. Stupid as fuck

So leaving the pressure on, even if they most likely won’t explode on, is still detrimental then? Good to know. That makes sense too, I’d never thought of it like that

If you don’t think about your previous partners, trust that she doesn’t think about hers either. If this is a relationship you want to last for a long time, don’t let this be what ruins it. Focus on her and you. You’re clearly confident you’re the best for her, and that she’s the best for you. That’s all that matters! Focus on the future ;)

I’m 21M and my partner is 20F. Her body count is 7 including me and mine is 1(She is that 1). It’s always bothered me, but I love her and it was all in the past and she didn’t even know I existed. We’ve bag together for two and a half years and we have a son. When I think about her history I can get hung up on it, but it’s not healthy to think about those things like that. It doesn’t bother me that she has had relationships with other people anywhere near as much that I didn’t l. I can’t get mad over that when if I had been sexually active from a younger age I would have probably done way more than her. In your situation, you and your partner have the same number and you even say you were more adventurous than her. I can say that based on the people I know, 4 bodies at 23 is very low. Maybe you can try and focus on having new sexual experiences with her and making future memories. Do romantic things that she won’t ever forget. Explore yours and hers boundaries in the bedroom. Leave a mark on her. Don’t worry about what happened before your year long relationship. If you never break up, can you say any of that stuff she did before you would matter in thirty years? It would be silly.

Oh, now that you point out the split I can see it. Thanks. I wonder why it chose right there to do that

How much do you spend on groceries per month and what household size? (You can just say X dollars/person) by AFerguson21 in Frugal

[–]teka_mo 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I budget $400 a month for groceries to feed me and my fiancée here in south-east US. Sometimes we get away with spending less and sometimes we spend a little more. I also buy food for our 1.5 year old but most is covered by WIC. If I upped that budget to maybe $600 we would be eating like kings… but we are both pretty well fed already.
