    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    My kid is a toddler, he has toddler problems which aren't always rational. Although we could be doing it wrong too, that is never out of the question. He definitely ate too many bananas and apples today. That said I think we are doing a little better than most the people on the initially posted...

    Have any of you thought who gets your stuff. Or do they even want it

    I've got my Great Grandpa's old 30-30 Winchester that he settled their farm with. One hunt a year I only take that gun and always make sure I see a new spot I have never seen to "keep the gun exploring" I haven't ever tagged with that gun, but for 3 or so days a year I kind wander with my...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    I have about 1 million words to explain how hard it is having kids, but I have no words about how wonderful it can be at other times. You just have to remember the kids are the enemy, not your spouse. :cool:

    Wod

    We have very pretty parkland with only pay to play hunting and very little public fishing. But I see maybe a half dozen ring neck pheasants a day at least. Saw a badger and a fox in the past 2 weeks.

    Want free YNAB budget coaching? I need two practice clients!

    Dang - I am past the trial period - but I am pretty frequently watching Youtube on how to make my YNAB better. (I like many others am a Mint refugee just trying to wrap my brain around YNAB now) This is a cool offer for anybody who is looking to get serious about budgeting.

    Have cancer. Going to Seattle for medical reasons. Fishing? Hiking tidbits?

    Do you know specifically where you will be staying? If you stay a bit further out on the Eastside you could have pretty direct access to trails in Issaquah area. Tiger Mountain has a few pretty flat trails like tradition lake plateau that on low energy days you could still get outdoors. Further...

    Mid life crisis career change… Remote jobs?

    I've been in WA fin the past, it offers faster career acceleration for me, but I could be remote and still make good money. But.. You can PM me where you landed and only 1 person will move there (and very likely I don't anyway) but we have been to all western states to look for places to live...

    Mid life crisis career change… Remote jobs?

    So... Where did you end up that you regret not going to sooner? In the next 2 or so years I will be relocated (again) for work to a more permanent role, and could be remote or in person. We have a short list in MT/WY, or ID/WA but always interested to hear where other people have landed.

    First Suppressor - recommendations

    There are a couple other questions to ask yourself - will this be a can that you want to swap across multiple platforms or will it live on this single rig? For a first suppressor I really like the SilencerCo Omega Hybrids where you can swap them across multiple platforms. The Omega 36M could go...

    Budget planner

    Responding on your bump. My wife and I used to be diehard Mint users until it went down. We now use YNAB (although it does cost $100 a year). This year we started the "50-30-20" rule where you spend 50% on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% savings and it is going well so far. We used to be over...

    Whats your name boy?

    When I was in high school my favorite band listed MC5 as one of their top influences. I got Blacktocomm from an MC5 song over 20 years ago - it has stuck around.

    Guidance on My Family’s Long Term Move

    Palmer sucks. Super unfriendly locals, terrible food, chock full of violent Yeti's as soon as you get on the trails anywhere outside of town. ;) And the fishing isn't even good there. So...

    Barbers

    I imagine he rolls out to GreatClips or Sportsclips he will be able to find something in the $20ish range? But I am bald so I have no clue what the haircut market is these days - I just know my family in Boise all goes to SportClips.

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    I was thinking base pay no overtime. A couple of chief's leading a team and working overtime I totally understand why they cross the $200k barrier. But those people are kind of the exception to the rule? At least I assume.

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    Did anybody else read this whole thread to find out where firefighters make $200k a year. Somebody let us know - I am sick of desk jockey work.

    What do you do for a living?

    Finance at a tech company. Have unlimited PTO, but my toddler makes getting time in the woods harder than my job. With family obligations I get maybe 5-10 days to hunt, but I take nice days off to walk in the woods/scout/hike with my kid. Saw easily over a dozen harvestable deer/bear with my...

    Whats on your Christmas list?

    Whoa - I am the sole provider (although my wife staying at home with kids isn't easy) and we are about to move overseas too! I'm going to land in the UK, so not sure if I am just going to pay to play - or try and do the whole song and dance of firearms license and private land hunts. Are you...
