That’s a great yard for growing up in!

Thanks! We were very lucky to get this house.

No doubt. I’m guessing you’re in North America somewheres? I’m an arborist from Australia, are they maples or tulip trees? Looks like you’ve got a lovely forest out the back.

Kurt,

No tulip trees, just a bunch of maples, a few oaks, and one black walnut. There’s about 1/6 of an acre behind us in the photo with a cemetery beyond that. Plenty of space for the kiddo to romp around and the critters love it too.

My daughter just learned no a week or 2 ago. Hate it. Much preferred the Lil Jon era

Lol… Yeah it’s not very cash money is it.

trick, in Anybody physically more tired after vacation? Also would appreciate potty training tips

Re vacation: Is anyone not?

As for potty training, unless you get lucky, I think the only thing that works reliability is taking off their diaper and letting them learn what happens. If they can be completely naked on the bottom, even better.

Definitelyhumanbeep, in What is the best kid's TV show? And why is it Bluey?

Bluey is amazing, warm, funny, clever, just perfect. Any kids show that can tell the story of human evolutionin, while using it as a metaphor for children growing up is pretty special. (I think that episode is called Flat Pack) And also, if you can access iPlayer (BBC), Hey Duggie is brilliant, silly, funny, great design and sweet. Also Puffin Rock (Netflix) is like a warm, gentle blanket - but sneaks in educational nature content, as does Octonaughts (iPlayer / Netflix), which is also excellent.

thetreesaysbark, in wife and I had a bad session tonight and I need advice.

Another thing to suggest is if you can both work out together or on a similar plan.

I’ve found that whilst we don’t run together, we both run the same amount each week at different times.

This means our experiences are similar and we can motivate each other to not lapse on things.

ddugue, in I got a present for father's day ❤️

It’s crazy how I would have seen such gifts as “not real gifts” a few years ago.

Now, I’m excited about tools!

Harpuajim, in Celebrating our 14th anniversary with Robert Smith

I went to a show at MSG back in 2018 and forgot about my little keychain pocket knife I had on my keyring. They wouldn't let me take it in but held it in security until the show was over.

Problem was that I got drunk and forgot about it so I had to go back the next day and grab it. It was a $5 knife but I've had it since 2003 so I felt an obligation to go back for it!

YurkshireLad, in How was your Father's Day?

Mine was also low key. We went out the night before to an Italian restaurant we've not tried before. It was pretty good but not quite as good as I had hoped based on reviews. My wife gave me a small selection of different jams she'd picked up. I'm a sucker for a tasty jam!

Kurt,
@Kurt@lemmy.one avatar

Congrats on the jams, man!

jadero, in How was your Father's Day?

Mine was excellent! I got my shop rewired to include an exterior outlet and double the light fixtures.

No more running cords through a partly open door or long extensions from the house.

No more squinting or having to wear a headlamp when measuring, marking, or following a line. Although I have to say, wearing a headlamp is pretty darn effective for some things even with the extra lighting.

Oh yeah, got a text from my son and acknowledgement from my wife. Which is about as much celebration as I can handle. 😀

jubilationtcornpone, in How was your Father's Day?

It was alright I guess. Nothing really that special. We went to brunch at a restaurant I wanted to try. It was ok but overpriced. Our 15 year old has been letting her bad attitude get the best of her lately. She complained about where we went to eat and I ended up grounding her for acting up at the restaurant.

As my fathers day gift, I've been promised a date day with the wife and a tool shopping spree (on a budget) so I have that to look forward to.

GlitterBandRebel, in How was your Father's Day?

Mine was good, went to a Nepali food festival for lunch which was cool because I've never had Nepali food before. Then went to the carnival that's in town for a few weeks. Took my 3 and a half year old son on his first Carnival ride and he loved it.

Went home after and barbecued shrimp skewers and corn on my new BBQ while having a gin and tonic.

Kurt,
@Kurt@lemmy.one avatar

Nice! Is there a particular gin you like? Hendricks is the go-to for my wife and I, but I recently found a Japanese gin made with yuzu that's pretty good.

GlitterBandRebel,

I also like Hendricks. I'm more of a whisky drinker but I usually keep a few bottles of gin on hand. The ones I have right now are Hendricks neptunia(this is what I had on Father's Day), Hendricks lunar and nikka Japanese gin.

Woofcat, in How was your Father's Day?

Woke up to some coffee in bed, and a nice card with a gift cert to a brewery tour, mouse pad with my daughter's on it, and a new shirt. Then downstairs for chicken and waffles for breakfast before heading out to the zoo. Had a blast there seeing the kids react to animals they had never seen before.

Then on the way home the older of the two got car sick but we managed and pushed through to dinner which was some hot pot and a nice bottle of red wine.

All in all a pretty fine day, maybe got a bit sunburnt however at the zoo.

Kurt,
@Kurt@lemmy.one avatar

The zoo is great! Ours has a platform where you can handfeed lettuce to the giraffes and my kid and we have a lot of fun with that.

servingtheshadows, in How was your Father's Day?

I slept most of the day and then went to work. My daughter made me a card thats on the fridge and at some point in the future were going to watch the dnd movie

TiresomeOuting, in How was your Father's Day?

My weekend was booked up celebrating for my dad on Saturday and my wife's on Sunday, so no time for me, but I requested a lunch with my wife and kid on Friday so we went out and it was really great. Didn't really need more than that, but I was pretty dead by the end of the weekend.
