I’m an Angeleno but I usually lived in slightly less hot temps more on the west side. I’m now a family man with young kids and moved to the Pasadena area. This place is fucking BOILING.

Now that it’s been a few weeks I’m really scratching my head on different things I can do with my kids (2 and 4).

I’ve been doing parks in the am and trying to do some swimming as well but it’s not really enough to keep the kids occupied. I’m not unopposed to spending money for indoor playgrounds (also done that) but options feel limited.

Families wtf are we doing during this heat besides staying inside with ac blasting?

I’ve got kids so I watch a lot of kid movies. This scene is quite relevant in my life rn. Chairs lads.

O man, I’m back in bender town. Like been waking up and drinking. Going to sleep midday and redrunking myself. Time and space has no meaning. But just why? I guess I can sort of blame the heat and the World Cup but yes pretty weak reasons lol.

It’s not even fun. I look at my phone and I’ve texted a bunch of people o I shouldn’t have. Nobody texted back so I just deleted everything and will claim my phone got hacked if anybody brings up anything.

Why is life like this?

I’m trying to get myself another job and the interviews have also been ass. Just email after email of “we are going to go in another direction good luck” and I’m starting to feel the futility of it all. I still feel like a little kid that doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up.

I guess I’m kind of having a midlife crisis and it’s getting to me. Yea more drinking ain’t going to help but most of the time it also doesn’t really hurt what already sucks too much. Anyways I’m rambling and don’t know where I was going with this. Chairs.

I tried guys… did the sober thing for a few weeks with maybe one or two days of drinking a few beers. It sucked…

Well I’m back now and off the wagon. Oopsies poo. Life sucks and is there anything else that helps the stress more than booze?

Fair warning lads, this post involves details about a middle aged man’s bowel issues. Visually if I can paint a picture of myself I have a Homer Simpson body type, not overly fat but beer gut that gives a canopy to my lower body.

Anyways, I’ve been doing better with the daily drinking. I’m now on day 6 of no drinking or had one-two beers (July 4th I had 2 IPAs but otherwise pretty sober and not fun). Cant tell you guys how much of an improvement that is for me. I’ve been daily drinking (and I’m talking starting at 7am type of shit) for at least 2 years straight. Been drinking for over 25 years, almost got my old man award status of “I’ve been doing for this for 30 years!”

I’m sure it’s probably similar for a lot of us alkie in that we shit and piss quite a bit when we are on the sauce. Well now that I’m off the sauce I’m getting major constipation and hemorrhoids. I’ve been rhoid raging since my 20s when I busted my pipes doing squats. Apparently it’s somewhat genetic bc my old man had similar issues (btw he died at 36 years old so he wasn’t really “old”). Cool, well not really but it doesn’t really flare up too much.

Alright now zoom forward to this last 4th of July holiday weekend. I’m eating meat like burgers and hot dogs like nobody’s business. Was delicious af but then my rhoid rage starting wanting to collect payments in the evening. Felt like I’ve been trying to give birth to a fucking adult T-Rex 🦖 for like the last 3 days straight. Been eating salads and keeping sober hoping it will help. Alas, it has not.

Anybody got any ass remedies? I might need to contact a priest for an exorcism at this rate possibly a mortician if it keeps going on. For those that are going to say “just see a doctor bro” well I have no insurance and I’m not laying on the floor with convulsions coming out of my 🍩 just yet, so let’s try some of the ol’ homeopathic remedies.

Prunes? Coffee? Giant black dildo up my ass? Plunger?!

What’s something you guys have done that’s helped grease your pipes? Hopefully I don’t got ass cancer, I am 43 so I’m getting up there… Chairs from this guy who has and is a pain in da 🍑.

Hello, I am currently looking for a doctor to remove a few face moles and a cyst. Given the nature of it being on my face and the mole being rather flat (not protruding out from my face) I am looking for a highly competent plastic surgeon that does these type of mole removals with minimal scarring.

Has anybody had facial moles removed in LA? Distance doesn’t matter, I live in the mid city area.

If you have some experience with this I’d appreciate you mentioning pricing if you remember since I know this is an out of pocket expense. Thanks!

I accidentally posted a similar post last week bc my son’s school held their Father’s Day “meet the other parents” last week and my wife also told me happy Father’s Day last Sunday so I never fact checked and just figured it was the day. Alas, it was not the day lol.

Anyways, happy Father’s Day to those of us with children. Being an alcoholic is never easy and hopefully it hasn’t gotten you to the point where you got to pay alimony, child support and can’t even see your children. I just feel like dads don’t get supported enough so I wanted to say chairs to the fellow dads.

I saw this has been discussed before and from my research and also just seeing what is out there. It appears spectrum is pretty much the only somewhat decent connection in town but I’m curious if anybody knows if fiber is in our near future?

I use to live on the Westside and my internet was fiber. The phone wireless was also better but alas im here now. It’s a beautiful city for raising kids but im kind of surprised the internet is so ass bc my kids would like their internet dialed in.

This is one of those older houses with thick walls and I’m wondering if anybody has had much luck with the newer internet amplifiers or if I shouldn’t be even bothering. They’re pretty pricey but I’m willing to throw down considering this is a 5 person household with the typical streaming needs, surveillance, gaming and other phone demanding things from devices.

I’ve already done Ethernet ports on the first floor but to go to the second floor was just a ton of money bc it’s an older house so i said no but I might be feeling like that’s needed otherwise call of duty is going to keep stuttering.

It’s been a bit since I posted so i figured id see how the sub is doing.

Listening to Eminem, hell it’s just another day fam. I haven’t quit, it’s what we into it. Hope all is well guys, I’ll try to throw a few good posts up soon but been burnt out and I don’t have the frat boy energy I usually have but I have a funny one I’ll share soon. Have a good weekend lads!

I know how this sub feels about pool newbies but bear with me. Just cleaned my DE filter on my FNS pentair and I don’t think I reseted the valve release at the top correctly, either that I or suck booty at putting in my de after cleaning it.

Was working fine for a few weeks and now it keeps toggling toward the “clean filter” indicator after I throw it on the max pump setting. What am I doing wrong? Thank you senseis.

So what’s the community’s opinion on the best or better charcoal to use for smoking meats purposes? I have a Weber kettle so nothing fancy and I understand the snake method, I’ve done it a few times but with limited results. Think I need a better charcoal brand(s), any ideas? 🙏

Thank you.
