What’s for dinner? Why do I have to eat this? Why do I have to go to bed? Why do I have to get up? Why do I have to go to school?

The flip side of having kids is when they start asking really fun questions about science and nature and you get to share the wonder of the universe with them, but holy hell kid… I’ve answered your question 5 times already and the answer isn’t changing at all.

I’m in an age gap relationship. When we got together I was in my mid-to-late 40s and she was in her late 20s. It took us quite a few dates to actually have the discussion about our ages, but by that time we were already spiraling toward each other. Been married 5+ years and to be honest, it’s been great. When we started out, we were outside of the 1/2+7 rule, but are now in bounds of that.

I have a friend who worked for, and alongside MJ (they’re credited on at least one album). They became a personal friend and have a ton of amazing stories and insane memorabilia. On the day Michael died, his phone rang and rang with a LOT of people wishing him condolences.

They tell me that MJ never really got a childhood, and in some ways lived his childhood through other children. My friend spent a couple nights at his Neverland ranch with his own kids and tells me that he trusted MJ and doesnt believe for a minute that he was actually guilty of anything untoward, and that things like “sleepovers” really did happen but were really from a place of innocence and MJ just wanting to have that childlike experience that he didn’t get.

That sounds awesome. Come do my area lol. Maps are great.

I’ve got a bunch of instruments that I have no idea how to play, but that its fun to own. I have a guitar tuned to open E so my toddlers can bang on it. It’ll get destroyed someday but playable but crap sounding guitars are about $50 last time I looked (and a far sight better than literal toys).

Most things in this world are 90% prep, 10% execution.

Currently it’s buying stupid but vaguely useful things.

I spent $50 on a SDR radio that can listen to a very wide spectrum of stuff. Also got a cheap pair of GMRS radios and got hooked onto the local repeater tower for about a 50 mile radius of communication.

A friend had a gas coming from their oven on occasion so I got a sensor for about $70 to try to fix it (and did so successfully)

I have more flashlights than any one man needs, but they do come in useful.

I just got a lock pick set and a practice lock. Probably never use any vague skill I’d develop, but if it saves me calling one locksmith, one time, it’ll have paid for itself.

A good pair of binoculars is just nice to have.

Tools of any sort.

Non-stupid prepper stuff should some crazy shit go down. Water purification, solar systems, weapons.

I’d like to try one of the mesh networks, but have more pressing hobby-crap to pursue.

Live below your means, but not too far.
