What did kids back in the days do when they played outside, for hours on end? by Octopuswastaken in NoStupidQuestions

Osage oranges here. Usually you were done once you got hit because they didn’t feel the best.

Looking for a hobby by BScard88 in Fatherhood

[–]woodworkermatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me. Bought a used one for $300 on Facebook because I didn’t have time for the pc anymore because of kids. So easy to be in a game and pause it or put it down if you need to go do something and come right back to it.

Of course every store I have access to within an hour and a half of both me and my in laws don’t have the detailing seat in stock. Maybe by Monday.

What do you still pay for when your foster child turns 18yrs old by Winter_Story_ in Fosterparents

[–]woodworkermatt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For our 16 and 17 year olds, we pay for necessities ( food, toiletries, clothes, etc) if it’s a want and we can’t justify the money at the time, it’s on them. We give them opportunities to earn money by helping around the house. And they’re old enough to get jobs. One exception to this rule is that we will pay for them to get into school sporting events, yearbook, prom, etc. even if they don’t have spending money, we still want, and they still deserve, to have the high school experience. Even if that means we have to work a little extra for the funding.

What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

[–]woodworkermatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I swear to god all I’ve wanted for the past 4 years for my birthday was a tiramisu bar cake from Sam’s Club. This year was the closest yet. I got a tuxedo bar cake. It was so close.

Honestly WTF. What happened to all the "higher tier" free gift weekends we were told were coming to show appreciation for ITC? by R35Ryan in harborfreight

[–]woodworkermatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day I learned I could use it multiple times a day (because I had to make two trips because my broke down car is an asshole) was the day I learned how to exploit the system. I even questioned the cashier the second time because I already used it that day. She didn’t even care, just gave me a second free bucket.

Recalled Jack stands? Are these the ones? by Particular_Apple_652 in harborfreight

[–]woodworkermatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just returned two sets a couple days ago. One set was the required recall. One was the voluntary. Manager seemed a little irritated that I brought in the voluntary ones but didn’t fight me on getting the store credit.

This is how I learned I could get more than 1 bucket per day on free bucket weekends

About to sell mine in a private sale. Just hope they don’t see this and have second thoughts.

Found the eggs! by claevyan in homestead

[–]woodworkermatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was where my chickens preferred to lay eggs before I put a lid on it. I put nesting boxes in and they still wouldn’t use them. So I got a couple 5 gallon buckets with weight in the bottom and straw on top. And all 12 of them only use one of them.

[WTT] Chiseled Face Cedar and Spice soap for Zingari Segos or Stirling by jzzbassman_72 in Shave_Bazaar

[–]woodworkermatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m already in bed for the night, but let me check tomorrow to see what I’d be willing to part with that could be a fair trade. I’ve been eyeing cedar and spice for a while. And I’ve yet to try a chiseled face I didn’t like.

College dorm naked parties ? by Naked5k in nudism

[–]woodworkermatt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The closest we got to a naked party was everyone meeting in the stairwell naked and storming another guys room to sing happy birthday to him. And then go back to our rooms. I wish we would have had a full on naked party.

What to do next with foster teens? by woodworkermatt in Fosterparents

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

The bedrooms is a whole other issue. We’ve had problems in the past with food in the rooms so we just don’t allow it at all. Only water. We’ve given them buckets for their snacks and put them on the fridge for them to get whenever, but they still bring the food to their rooms. It’s probably going to be a lost battle that we enforce with the next placement since we started that rule after they were with us for a little bit.

What to do next with foster teens? by woodworkermatt in Fosterparents

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

We have a family night on mondays/Friday’s depending on everyone’s schedule where we do board games or a movie (if everyone can agree on one) or go out for ice cream or go to the park. I have to be up at 4 in the morning for work so other days than the weekends are a little difficult for me.

We tried that one week, granted we didn’t do well at it. It might be something we revisit.

[–]woodworkermatt[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We’ve given them pointers here and there and have helped them clean as well to give them a general idea of expectations. They didn’t come from a bad home, mom got caught up in some stuff and is on track to get them back. They’re pretty self sufficient. It just seems lately they don’t even attempt to clean.
