Looses some of the fun when you guys are all getting senile and can't remember if you did or didn't do it.

Gotta be the cheese curds.

Mother of Mary am I slow. I always erased posts that I didn't want by just holding backspace. I typed something out in a different thread and decided not to post. I finally highlighted and then hit backspace. 10x quicker. I think the lack of highlighting on my phone caused me to have this habit.

BTW, I now have just boxed up my phone to send in for repair, so those that called, texted, sexted, or what have you, you will need to use a back up number.

Truth, the second cell was more of a drought buster, think I can put away the hoses and sprinklers. Was too late with them anyway, most of my ferns croaked and some of the hostas too.

The hostas will come back. They will survive a nuclear holocaust...

My mom has hostas by here and her neighbors mailboxes. They were "dead" for three years. I weed whipped everything and had plating new ones on a to do list but it was way down since not real important. They came on this year with a vengeance. Thicker than they ever were.

Welp.
This:

On that note. When we were finally in the air, I asked the flight attendant for a screwdriver and they gave me 4 bottles of vodka and the whole can of OJ and says "it's that kinda day am I right?"

Yes. Yes it was

probably explains this:

I believe this completely. Most of my guy friends are ass/rear end guys compared to boob men. I'm totally an ass guy myself. I respect cleavage and appreciate it but if she don't have a donk, I don't care that much

We millineals also eat a lot of ass too

I remember having this conversation with my ex's father around the grill like 4 days before we broke up. He basically was like I wouldn't ever be able to date someone like my daughter, she's so flat chested. You gotta have boobs man. I retorted back that she has a great ass. Looking back that was a real weird conversation.

Ok, so what age is the cut point for Mills and Gen Z? I'm still slightly confused on who to blame for stuff.

I'd say pretty much Pants age and lower. This way we can blame Pants for everything.

Chilly today so I put kiddo in a sleeper. He's not going to fit it much longer. We have a bunch of newborn onesies (mostly gifts, I only bought like, 6-8) that I suspect he's already grown out of without ever wearing them. With the heat and his tendency to overheat, I only put him in clothes when we had to go somewhere in the car or had visitors. Looking at getting more sleepers and I think we'll skip straight to the 3-6 mos clothes. Cool story bro, I know. I'm just surprised how quickly they grow. He gained 1lb 10oz in the two weeks between appointments.

You learn quickly not to save their good baby clothes for special occasions unless that special occasion is really soon. It's a constant struggle figuring out, "will they grow out of it? vs. will it look ok with a stain?"

I've also decided that chocolate milk stains I may not care about. Or at least make sure it's a home/saturday item.

suggestion for @cowgirl836, find a family that has only one son or they always buy new clothes for their kids. We were able to do that for our daughter and are doing that with our clothes to others. Basically, when our kids outgrow their clothes, we put them in a tub. These families have kids 2-3 years younger. When they get close to the age of our kids they will check to see what we have sizewise. If they need 3 year old boy clothes, we will look to see how many tubs we have and tell them it's X amount per tub. They don't get to haggle or pick through, they get the tub and everything. We do tell them if there are winter coats or snow boats or non everyday things in it.

We never put heavily worn clothes in the tubs. This is stuff that we would buy for our kids. We started this on the buying side for our daughter. This lady from church had a grand daughter in Ankeny, she would drop a tub of clothes from her only grand daughter full of tommy hilfiger and Polo level girls clothes (I don't know girls clothes so forgive me) and a lot looked rarely worn. Some of our stuff even has price tags still on it, you can tell how much our kids wore that.

Wife lets a couple good friends pick through before she tubs it occasionally, but otherwise its kinda all or nothing. Easier than garage sales.

My baby clothes story was when a coworker had a baby girl, but I wasn't able to go to the shower. So, just a gift bag left on her desk with some 3-6 mos onesies, and a few other things. She ended up having an 11 lb baby girl...not a C-section. (There was a groaning and crossing of legs when that email came across) Coworker thanked me profusely, because the baby was immediately into 3-6 mos clothes.

That "baby" is now probably starting her sophomore year in HS.

Speaking of hostas, we will soon need to get rid of several of ours because we’re having the tree they surround removed. I know it’s not ideal transplanting time but it’s either move them or lose them.

My mom did that when we were younger. I frequently wore hand me downs. Do have a friend with a 3 year old son who has offered. I'm sure I'll take her up as he grows. Especially since her son is a month later than mine so seasonality of clothes should line up nicely. Right now I'm still in first time mom mode and buying new for him Well, the little he wears.. Did get some garage sale onesies. Once he's in daycare and going through multiple outfits a day, I'm sure it'll change and I'll fill out the base wardrobe I have with hand me downs

They will be fine, just keep them in the shade and watered. As long as they don't dry out they be good. I divide mine in the spring but lots of people recommend dividing/moving in the fall, either works.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

I was the third of three girls.
What's new look like?

I do it in the fall because I can see them then.

And an example of the RTT influence, just posted this to my niece's first day of school pics for her two little boys "One of these outfits is better for hiding school lunch stains than the other." 2nd grader was in full camo.

Our 3rd & 4th tend to get some new things. After the oldest two there were two nieces, so hand me downs went to them. Most never made it back to my house. I didn’t necessarily expect them back, and the stuff I did get back from one SIL was heavily worn/washed/not wearable anymore.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Well ****ity **** ****. Just got a call from the doc I saw this morning.
I've been in some discomfort since Tuesday. Results back from doc say that the easy to fix issue (UTI) is not, in fact, the issue. Differential diagnosis is the assumption that I'm fixing to pass another kidney stone. Pain killers and gallons of water over the weekend, crossed fingers that it washes out. If no improvement, we go the CT and retrieval or pulverize option. Whatever we do, I DO NOT want a repeat of the last go round. That sucked raw eggs.

And yes...I'm pissed. Literally and figuratively.
