Yes, it does. I have a 16 and 10 years old currently. Traveling when rhe first one was 1-5 yo was pretty awful. He didn't travel well, was hyper picky about food and refused to sit in a stroller. So the trips we took were exhausting and sometimes felt like a waste of time and money. It didn't help that we knew he wouldn't even remember those experiences.

So we waited. We did mini trips here and there to at least go pseudo-travel but never far from home in case the experience went south. When the youngest was 7 or 8ish we knew we could start really traveling again. And we've done great ever since.

So yeah, kind of like my hobbies, travel had to be shelved until it became practical again.

Nice

ICE was patrolling outside of my son's high-school today and all through out our downtown.

To be clear this is in San Diego county.

This is really starting to scare me.

Masturbation to get things started. CPAP machine to make sure I don't suffocate in the middle of the night. Ear plugs to muffle out all the little noises.

My hope was to have to resort to less violence to get my grounds out.

Yep, this was the 2ish year mark.

Yep, just twist and the burr comes right out.

Thx. You legit got a smile out of me.

A few years ago I was struggling with body image and was starting to feel worthless and invisible in my marriage. When I tried expressing these feelings to my wife (really just trying to make an emotional connection) her response was curt and to the point: "You don't have body image issues. I'm the one struggling with my weight."

And that was it. I've never felt more alone in my life.

I love this community. All the strange things us dull men get up to.

Thanks for that image...
