Yeah it's so tricky, people seem to assume that you should have a great relationship with your parents, I certainly don't . Instead, treat yourself nicely this weekend!
My local football club I support had a father's day promotion, but a couple weeks beforehand they sent out an email allowing people to opt out. Really nice to see
I'm with you here, I have a very complicated guilt filled relationship with my dad and often this time of year causes issues. I always think it's nice to focus on the positive father figures or even mentors in your life and reach out to show appreciation and know none of this is on you!
Eh it's been 11 years since he went off the rails so I'm pretty much over it. Sucks around his bday but on weekends like this I'm mostly just happy to not have to spend time and money on an awkward meal out like most people I know. Gonna lounge in pyjamas instead and nobody can even make me feel bad for it lol.
Honestly I admire you so much for this. I am feeling the guilt to go have to spend time with my dad over spending time with my partner (who is an amazing dad). As you say it's always awkward and toxic but still the guilt remains. Great that are prioritising yourself, have a wonderful weekend!
Well I hope that whatever you do, it's as bearable as possible and you get to come home to your awesome partner asap. I don't know your situation so can't comment any further on that, just remember your feelings in all of this matter too.
I managed to stay “not old” until I hit 70. When I realised I have, at best, 20 good years left… well that was brutal.
So yeah, kid yourself you’re old lol. Are you even 60? Lightweight! Friday night? I’ll be finishing the latest Richard Osman Thursday Murder Club offering and knitting socks. Life on the edge, yessss.
Though not intended as motorcycle gear, the insulated overalls are probbaly the biggest improvement.
Upper part of my body was a Sedici Aventura with all vents closed, water/wind proof liner, insulating liner, and I can't remember what jacket I had on underneath but I think it was a Carhart. I ended up taking out the waterproof liner to get some breathability. Also keep in mind the coveralls insulate your core as well, just not shoulders or arms.
My face and neck were pretty cold though but I think I have a solution.
So that puts my cold weather ability in the 30s and hot weather at upper 80s, I can do 90s but it's not that enjoyable. I need some actual motorcycle pants instead of just jeans, and also a mesh jacket would be nice.
I'm in mostly Texas so this temperature range lets me ride year round except for the hottest part of the summer when I have to do it early in the morning.
I've seen pictures of guys riding all winter in northern states. In a snowmobile suit. Seems crazy to me to even try to ride on snow and/or ice. I'll pass on that.
Without studded tires I don't see how it's possible on ice. Snow, I feel like as long as it's not transitioning surfaces (ex: asphalt->snow or snowy dirt->snowy asphalt) I might be able to figure it out.
I should clarify, that coldest time I went was still a beautiful clear day and it warmed up later.
Only time I was truly miserable was when it was about 40F, on top of a mountain, and started raining unexpectedly (so no waterproof liner). I went back to the cabin as quick as I could and took hot bath.
It's a 6 month experiment but I really hope it works out - it would be great to have an official BBC source on fedi. I've put it in another comment but virtually all news shared on here (and Mastodon from what I've seen of it) from British sources is from the BBC or The Guardian anyway.
Apparently one left-wing instance has already defederated from the BBC for being a transphobic organisation though
I've yet to see any of them give any evidence apart from an article published on the BBC Nottingham website which relied on data which is apparently a biased source of something.
Which isn't particularly compelling enough to call the whole BBC a transphobic organisation. But I'll admit it's not exactly my specialist field
What I do know is the Beeb always gets shit from the right for being 'too loony left/woke' and shit from the left for being 'too establishment/not representative of anyone apart from wealthy white men'. It's meant to be unbiased so of course everyone accuses it of bias whenever they can. I think they just try and rise above it
Not much to say about this new instance other than I think it’s a good move… but Very_Bad_Janet? As someone who was extremely into Bad Janet, I’m not sure I can handle the concept of Very Bad Janet.
And if by some chance your username isn’t a ‘The Good Place’ reference, then I imagine you’re confused right now.
this sounds wierd to me. I have heard vaz that does not really rhyme well with anything but is close to cause from because or like saws or laws. Never as something that rymes with mars or cars though. And the vase as in face type I have heard to.
