Re: Should you take a leap of faith in your career?

simplefather — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 23:30:41 -0000

Found you on lifeofdad, great insights. It's so easy to look to external factors and pass problems to someone else, and look to a boss or peers to influence me.

Re: Going Through Hell

It's been a while since I commented, but feel the need to throw my support your way. There's always gonna be haters, but the overwhelming show of support you've gotten here is an inspiration in itself. I always appreciate the transparency in your posts, and as you've seen, if you're going through hell, so are other people. Your faith and the people who truly know you will no doubt get you through.

Re: Beware of the Poop Monster

I'll preorder mine now. It would fit perfectly with the oldest's "my poo hurts." I could just respond that the poop monster is trying to amputate her butt.

Are you sure that's not c4? Like WeaselMomma, too bad I didn't see this a while ago. Fortunately our oldest didn't get much diaper rash, and the little one is almost out of diapers.

Re: Phoning It in

simplefather — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:13:06 -0000

No worries about phoning it in, it seems to go in waves (one of which I just came out of and I find my writing sucks now because I haven't written for a while). I blame my family too...

Anyway, I would buy one of the Melissa and Doug stamp sets. My crazy girls love stamps. I often show up to work with remnants of a smiley on my hands.

Touching story. I've resisted the lure of BAB for now, but it's great to know they are a friendly bunch, and on top of that they're HQ is in my neck of the woods.

Consider me "equally guilted." Maybe you could start a devotial geared toward Peg Wussies.

Good luck with the toddler bed. Seems it's either an easy transition, or a nightmare.

I'm so calling the olive garden the Original Gangsta from now on, and wandering kohl's is a great date, especially when you stumble to the 70% off rack.

Re: I still hate Valentine’s Day

Preach it brother... crap, crap, and more crap. I'm so glad my wife isn't into all the hoopla, but I too hate the constant bombardment by various peddlers of crap.

Friggin' drivers. When I first read your post, I thought you were driving the roads of Missouri.

Re: Where have we seen this before?

I can't believe this similarity never occurred to me. They both need to go hide somewhere, find a new hobby, and roll around in their millions of dollars.

My vote is for Rorshac....and I don't blame your kids for being afraid of people in animal costumes. I'm a bit afraid of them myself.

Before I agree to buy some ad space. I'm gonna need to know how many people are attending. I want maximum exposure here!

as with most of your food posts, all I have to offer to the conversation is a hearty mmmmmmm.... that looks good!

Re: A Mover and A Shaker- Well, Just A Mover For Now

simplefather — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:09:42 -0000

I agree with the riding the bike thing. Our second is totally in a different mobility mindset. She climbs on everything, whereas our oldest didn't. Good luck.

Oh Toby...

Happy Holiday's (and belated Merry Christmas to you too)!

Re: A chance meeting with a Top Chef

simplefather — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 23:50:18 -0000

What a great opportunity! I imagine that had to be inspiring. Also, don't sell yourself short! Your dishes seem top notch to me. Of course this is coming from a guy who's specialty is mac and cheese (although not the straight out of the box kind, I do put in a little effort).

I hope everything is going well, and that your Christmas was comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I hope your wife and family are well. Sounds like too much excitement for me.

That's awesome! Congrats!

I know at least around here just when people need it the most, those who can give have been looking at their portfolio and choosing to do nothing. Good to see the spirit of giving alive and well.

Sounds like a good plan. A little discomfort, even if it's only in his mind, could work wonders. Good luck!

Congrats!! I've enjoyed reading your posts over the past months, and keep Ladybug's pictures coming, they're great.

Re: What does it mean to be a good man?

simplefather — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:17:22 -0000

I like your (and teachertom's) point that you can't declare yourself a good man. Too often I find myself trying to justify in my mind why I'm a good man.

I hope to leave a great legacy behind when I leave this earth. It looks like you're well on your way to doing so... keep up the good work.

I hope she's feeling better. I hate when kids are not themselves because they're sick. It really sucks.

On the Yo Gabba Gabba front, my wife caught me watching it without our daughters the other day and thought I was crazy. There's just something intriguing about that show.
