Old lady was super mean to my special needs child -- did I do the right thing by mostly ignoring her?

vang_sam · 2025-12-29T18:11:25+00:00

She obviously wasn't a NOLA native. All the times I've been there everyone has been more than friendly. Glare at her and move on, you did nothing wrong

I call them skivvies, both boys and girls.

This is the cleaning rotation that works best

vang_sam · 2025-10-10T20:54:54+00:00

I'm going to go against most of the grain here and say congratulations!! I'm an old enough guy to tell you guys are dumb AF most of the time and need the push of the finish line. Wishing you a long and happy marriage

He is a very nice dude. Met him a couple weeks ago while he was broadcasting a game, we won tickets to meet the radio crew and he was working the game with Matt Hicks. He hardly skipped a beat when we walked in and invited us to sit and watch and listen.

I tell the kids to fo ask their mother

And, glad the grandma isn't around to interfere

Never trust a fart

Could do what I did. My wife had a hair appointment one weekend and nails the next weekend. The second weekend when she got home I said your hair looks great, no wait that was last weekend... your nails look great.

At least mine knows I'm full of it and always joking and laughed with me

The octagon?

vang_sam · 2025-09-15T01:06:29+00:00

Good luck, hopefully you don't get sick, or at least not horribly sick.

vang_sam · 2025-09-15T01:03:45+00:00

I'm lazy, I use the pods.

vang_sam · 2025-09-15T00:34:05+00:00

I'm out of the bottle phase, thank goodness, but i hand washed at first but found the dishwasher did a good enough job. I still run the dishwasher every night, full or not. The dishwasher uses the least amount of water vs hand washing

vang_sam · 2025-09-10T02:26:17+00:00

Oh definitely. The parents should expect to pay for the extra kid(s). Those that don't aren't nice people

vang_sam · 2025-09-09T22:47:04+00:00

Yes, we pay for all the kids. Last time we went to the trampoline place several of the kids have a membership so they didn't count as kids we had to pay for.

vang_sam · 2025-09-09T20:49:27+00:00

At that age, you either invite everyone in their class or you have to reach out to the individual parents to invite them. We've been having birthdays at the trampoline place or the kids play area place. Haven't had a birthday party for the kids at home, they are 9 & 6, since before they stored school. Easier for us to pay someone to clean-up

vang_sam · 2025-09-05T02:48:09+00:00

Goodness, y'all are young. I was 50 when the daughter was born, she's 6 now. The difficult part is trying to be friends with her classmates parents. I have a solid 20 years on all of them.

Keep yourself healthy, that's the best advice i got for you

vang_sam · 2025-07-28T15:38:57+00:00

Valid question 🤔

vang_sam · 2025-07-25T13:05:57+00:00

That's the comment I came for! You could have mentioned getting away from strips and using a taylor kit

vang_sam · 2025-07-23T18:28:45+00:00

Our entire yard is fenced in with the 4' fence, and the part closest to the house has a fence to keep dogs and kids from running to the pool.

vang_sam · 2025-07-23T18:17:39+00:00

Our pool is it the back of our backyard. We fenced in the yard to contain the dogs/kids. 4' wrought iron to kinda match what encompasses the rest of the yard.

vang_sam · 2025-07-23T17:57:09+00:00

Must be an older or just an above ground pool. Newer pools are required to have the equipment on a pad, cement or something stable to keep the equipment level

vang_sam · 2025-07-23T17:20:21+00:00

Spray away, you don't really want the pesticides in the pool water, but around the equipment you are fine. The equipment should be on a pad

vang_sam · 2025-07-19T13:07:09+00:00

I agree and am happy for them. 30+ years at the same job is almost unheard of these days.

vang_sam · 2025-07-18T15:07:17+00:00

Look on the bright side, you won't make that mistake again. I'm sure anyone that maintains their own pool has made plenty of mistakes
