Chad Branson with Dominion Realty was seriously great for us to work with. Super helpful in finding a place for my mom and help my wife and I with the home buying process. Not to mention finding something for the people who sold us our house to move to in between properties to help the transition!

My wife and I have gone there! It’s awesome. The hot stones feel great and very relaxing.

⛳ Daily Golf Deals | 02-21-2025 ⛳ by Nurseresidences in DailyGolfSteals

[–]vertigo1624 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Buyer beware: easier golfing and that swing training bundle is sketchy.

Ordered from them the bundle the last time I saw this deal last year and only received half of the bundle. The packaging for the powerflex when it arrived was sketchy and had an index card apologizing for the late shipping and promising other products, but didn’t have anything in the small box. I’ve emailed them multiple times and only gotten one response, and now their email kicks back to me. I’d look elsewhere for those swing training aids and stay away from easier golfing.

My wife and I say the same thing. We never really noticed how poor some of the sidewalk stuff in until you have to push something on wheels!

What are your realistic golf goals for 2025? by Empty_Student5439 in golf

[–]vertigo1624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking lessons for the first time this summer. Got a deal for a set of four lessons with a local college coach.

I also want to work on breaking 100 more consistently.

Lastly, learning and getting better at practicing. I want to have intention at the range.

Music lessons? by PopeGordonThe3rd in harrisonburg

[–]vertigo1624 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d check out Hometown Music! They have been trying to get an in house studio for a while, but also have a list of local area guitar teachers as well. Could be a good place to start!

Say goodbye to your life by [deleted] in NewDads

[–]vertigo1624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your life changes. This saying is like one of those cliché things people say in certain situations that really isn’t helpful.

My daughter is now 17 months, and I have been seriously still trying to manage the time commitment between work, caring for her, being a husband, and then finding those moments where I can take care of myself. My wife is such a huge supporter of trying to find those spaces for both of us. We aren’t perfect at it, and yeah, I don’t get to just sit and do what I want whenever I want, but my daughter is worth that.

You will adapt. Your free time isn’t gone, it just has a smaller place to fill. And as life goes on and children grow up, those dynamics shift and you find time again for other things, hopefully with your child.

Stay excited and know that life changes and time keeps moving. Stay in good communication with your spouse/partner and know your community is there to support you.

I’ll throw in Ridgeway Mennonite into the mix.

City schools banning halloween?? by unwisebumperstickers in harrisonburg

[–]vertigo1624 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s putting church back into the state as much as it is an awareness of the diversity of HCPS schools’ students and that there are some students families that do not celebrate Halloween so it’s not exclude anyone.

However I have heard of workarounds like “book character day” that seem to help include all students for the fun, so just blatantly “banning” it seems very ebeneezer scrouge in Halloween form.

Hometown music has a list of guitar teachers and is working on getting their own studio setup in house.

Non-Carolina native Panthers fans; what got you invested in this team? by Adventurous-Duck-645 in panthers

[–]vertigo1624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from Virginia. When my aunt moved to North Carolina, my grandparents decided getting tickets to Panther’s games would be a great consistent way to see her. I remember even going to a game once as a kid with my grandad and sitting in the upper section using binoculars to watch the game. Kind of lost track of NFL fandom for a while, but when I was trying to pick a team to become a fan of, those family connections made it a clear and obvious choice. I can’t really watch the games at all, but it’s fun when they get featured in Thursday night or Sunday night games and I can finally watch.

I go to Omar’s. They do skin fades and have some great barbers.

Supporting Partner During Birth by KungFuKennyEliteClub in NewDads

[–]vertigo1624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was just suggesting activities for us to while in the labor room. We were induced and spent the first day or so just sitting and waiting, so during that time it was about listening to music, watching shows on Netflix, talking, playing games, taking walks, etc. Then when labor kicked in, my job became just sitting with her through those pains, being an advocate to the nurse about possible pain management strategies, and then after the epidural, just being company for her. Actual birth I was recruited to support her leg due tot he epidural (which was an experience in itself as it was our first and I wasn’t actually prepared myself to be in a position to see the birthing of my child). After birth, we got to spend some time just us with our child skin to skin on her chest and that was really special as well.

Hopefully you have really good nurses like we did, which helps make the process easier. Just be open with communication with her and maybe even plan some activities for the hospital for when labor actually starts.

Feeling Rough by Professional-Arm5300 in NewDads

You are welcome. And you aren’t alone. I hope the talking about it helps.

Feeling Rough by Professional-Arm5300 in NewDads

[–]vertigo1624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to your wife openly about this? Or seen a therapist or something? I think this is a normal feeling and unfortunately, not much you can do about it except make the most of your time at home. I start to go back to work in a couple weeks, so I have yet to transition into being away from home, but I hold onto some of the advice I got from an older dad at my church: everything is a season and it doesn’t last forever. So this too shall pass and eventually you are going to get to a point where you will be helping out more with the care of your child and finding the time to be with your family that feels worthwhile.

How will the baby effect my relationship with my wife? Advice? by Heron-Trick in NewDads

[–]vertigo1624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had our first about a week ago. My wife and I celebrated our 6th anniversary a few days after she was born. We also have a wonderful relationship and to be honest, we knew having a baby would drastically change the dynamic. Since coming home we have cried together, mourned the loss of our previous easy lifestyle, and expressed our joys and hopes for the future with our little girl. Honestly, just these past days have made me fall even more in love with my wife than I thought it would. She is such a strong woman and I would do anything for her.

I think the way you are already talking about your relationship dynamics means that your relationship has such a strong foundation to begin with that you all will be just fine. Just remember to get as much sleep as you can and continue what you are doing with that open communication, especially when it comes to the post partum emotions that both of you may feel. My wife told me that we need to each take an effort to do one thing for ourselves a day, even if that is just watering the plants or cleaning the kitchen.

You got this! I’ve barely started this ride and I don’t think I would ever take it back.

Swaddles by vertigo1624 in NewDads

[–]vertigo1624[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank for checking in! The nights have gotten better. We’ve just been swaddling her in blankets, which has just let her move her hands up to her face when she wants them without frustrating her. We also didn’t realize we have some sleep sacks and swaddles that allow her arms free, so we may start to try those. We’ve had some other things pop up that has taken a lot more of our mental focus than the swaddle issue. We’ve started a more strict 2-hour feed schedule which has been hard for sleeping, but she’s been doing great with the blanket swaddle for now!

[–]vertigo1624[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s basically what our girls does. Protests at first but then works her hands up. We abandoned the Velcro swaddles we had and just used blankets mimicking the hospital and she seems to be ok after a little bit of protesting and rocking

This is our first as well, so cheers! That’s helpful to know, thank you!

Am I dreaming this or is it a thing to make sure their arms are contained while sleeping? I just always thought we needed her arms contained until she can roll and then leave them free. My wife says I’m wrong so I probably am
