As far as "I'm hungry, but not for that" I'm planning on going with my mum's strategy of "you have to eat a little of it, and then you can go make yourself a PB&J" 59 minutes ago, Pezler the Polychromatic said: Maybe you put too much milk in his coffee? Oh, yeah, that could definitely be it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s totally normal when they start learning to move their bodies. It’s pretty fun watching babies learn how to human. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilhalfling Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Spent 3 hours painting a Wizkid demon. It was nearly done and I thought I would just finish up a few details. but it has just such lovely large amounts of skin to play with. It was a lovely day, I guess I have tomorrow to just finish up a few more details. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it! (Well, the part about things going well, at least.) I'm thinking that the chicken noodle soup I made 3 days ago might get frozen, there's still a fair amount left and we're getting tired of eating it. Also, it's apparent that I might need to learn how to cook for less than 20 people. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as "I'm hungry, but not for that" I'm planning on going with my mum's strategy of "you have to eat a little of it, and then you can go make yourself a PB&J" Our son was at 4 months and maybe three weeks when she did that. I think she even had to tie him upright in the high chair with a towel. Little pig ate the entire jar and slept afterwards. His nighttime sleep improved dramatically as well. Just getting flashbacks to our Night of Hell reading what you’ve been going through. My mom's rule was a bite of each thing for every year old we were. Four years old meant four more bites, etc. Very happy she did that to us, and us to our kids. My nieces and nephew are ... more particular. And one of our poor neighbors would work from the home office, then she would cook THREE dinners! One for her, one for the husband, and one for the kids. Madness. My daughter will not live down her “stomachs” explanation. See, she had a dinner stomach and a dessert stomach. The dinner stomach was full but the dessert stomach was empty, so she needed dessert! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegazus Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Rats. I got distracted from the whole purpose I dropped in. I was going to take the day off and do hobby stuff, even planned to stream it. Instead work piled up yesterday along with two critical meetings so I sacrificed and gave up the painting plans. Those meetings got canceled and I figured I would have a rotten day. But I turned out to have an excellent day and was very productive. I hope everybody else had a good one.

Thoramel Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Tore apart my keg dispenser to fix a leak. It's got two taps and only one of them had a leak. So while I had it torn down I figured I'd tear the other one down to give it a good cleaning. When I rebuilt the broken tap I hooked up the line to the keg to see if it was working. Unfortunately, I hooked the keg up to the wrong line. I attached it to the line that still had the tap apparatus disassembled for cleaning. Just imagine turning on a hose of dark Belgian ale and letting it spray all over the kitchen. And the cat that was watching me. I immediately realized what I did and disconnected the line. So I only lost a few ounces. But after soaking the cat in beer, and then again in a bath, I don't think he's going to be friendly around me for a while. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I try to talk to the peeps on our AL Discord about doing something a little different, get outside the box a little, it is met with... deafening silence. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Sounds like you may just be barking at the wrong tree, so to speak... Seems to me like the group has found their One True Way, and you're just the odd man out who's looking for a bit more from time than the standard beer-and-pretzels game they want to play. They look at you funny because from their perspective you're the guy who's trying to rock the boat. There's not a lot you can do if the group is dead set on doing things the same way all the time, except decide whether or not it's bothersome enough to keep you from just accepting the status quo and going with the herd. Maybe you can save the deeper stories for your writing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revenge of Spuds Mackenzie: Agent of W.O.O.F How did you determine the cat wouldn’t have enjoyed a dark Belgian ? I guess I can Google, “is beer bad for cats?” 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suffer the same problem. I always make too much food, and then we end up forgetting about the left overs. That’s also why I store things in cheap containers. No way I’m opening that mystery container! 2 hours ago, Colonel Kane said: I am glad you are back to normal. Well, I wouldn’t say normal. The pain has increased as the day has worn on.
