I'm looking at the waiver wire and seeing names like Lambert and Drohan popping up as sleepers. It feels like a massive gamble to bet on their workload this late in the season. Anyone else planning on grabbing these guys or playing it safe?

Looking for someone to chat with. Maybe we can eventually meet up for coffee, a beer, a concert, a movie, or just a walk? I'm a 25-year-old guy, though I feel like I've lived more life than my years suggest.

Gender doesn't matter to me—I'm strictly looking for friendship. We can talk about anything; no topic is off-limits. This forum moves at a snail's pace sometimes, which kills the momentum, but let's see.
I'd like to type away and actually meet new people. If you just need someone to talk to, or if you just want to write without judgment or stupid comments, I'm here. And like I said, meeting up is on the table.

I live in the real world. I value every moment, I plan ahead, I believe dreams are achievable, and I know everyone has inherent value.
Just be prepared to wait a bit longer for a reply sometimes.
I value honesty and being open.
The best friendships usually show up when you aren't looking for them.
I'm sure there are others here who feel the same way; there are plenty of interesting people on this site.
It’s hard for me to step out of my comfort zone, so my circle stays small. If you're reading this and you get what I'm saying—reach out. Let's change that.
My inbox is open.

Maybe Microsoft this ad onto Craigslist. You might have a better chance of getting a response over there.

Years go by. I guess they just slip through your fingers, don't they? One minute you're making plans for next week, and the next, you're looking back at a decade that feels like it passed in a single afternoon. It’s a strange thing, really. Time doesn't seem to move linearly once you hit a certain age. It stretches and compresses in ways I can't quite wrap my head around. Maybe it's just how life works. You focus on the small things, and before you know it, the big picture has shifted entirely. It’s a bit overwhelming, I suppose, but also kind of beautiful in its own quiet way. 🙂
Just thought I’d dust this thread off a little bit. Maybe stir things up a touch.

No.

I guess the only real fix is to just start a fresh account.

If you had actually taken the time to read the introductory post, you’d realize that isn't really an option.
You should probably go ahead and check out the rules.

If anyone knows, thanks.

You actually have quite a few options on this site. You can set them to expire in 5, 10, or 15 minutes, or even several hours or months, or just leave them up indefinitely. I guess I've been using it for my own photo albums for a little while now. You really should just sign up, though. It’s free to register, and for what I usually need, it works just fine.

How's everything going on your end? Did you finally get all those photos organized? 🙂

I guess I just can't seem to find the motivation, even though I probably should force myself. Plus, I still have a mountain of photos to sort through before I can move them over to my backup drive.

I really put in a lot of miles traveling around. In NYC, I basically felt like I was riding for free.

hiddenmarlin14 said:Oh, wow, I definitely wasn't expecting a visit 😍 well, here you go, help yourselves:

Thanks for being such a great host. 🙂 I saw my Discord mentioned, so I figured I’d just hop in and sign up.

I guess I'll jump in too.

Daniel Thompson11 said:The whole point is that if you don't send anything at all, you're completely missing the entire philosophy behind this post.

Don't send it. It's fine.

Daniel Thompson11 said:Under privacy laws, you aren't supposed to take photos of guests without getting their written consent first. When shifts are back-to-back, it becomes such a massive headache for exhausted staff who just want to kick off their shoes after a long day. They’re stuck waiting for everyone to dig out their IDs—which they shouldn't even be photographing if we're strictly following the law—just to manually log everything. I mean, if something actually happens, no crime was committed and nobody is getting hurt. In my opinion, the only thing being affected is some local tourism board's statistics, which is totally irrelevant to me personally. Not to mention, a ton of guests are so eager to get into their rentals that they barely even interact with the owners. What exactly are they supposed to be photographing to send over? Sure, they could, but there will always be people who won't, can't, or just forget...

I think you hit the nail on the head. It isn't like you have to submit everything the exact second someone walks through the door; I'm sure there's a reasonable window of time, and I'd imagine filing things a day later wouldn't be considered a violation. Have you thought about maybe putting up an informational flyer to explain things?

I guess my mom and I are heading out today, too.🕺

🤦

Grace Anderson3 said:Oh, not quite...
Actually, Hans and I were just having a long talk today about when I should head back to work. We were thinking maybe after a full year, which would mean we'd have to find a spot for the Baby in daycare once he hits his first birthday... And now we're just sitting here wondering if that's even the right call 🤷 since he'll be so separated from us by then 🤷 but we really need to give our employer an answer within the next two weeks or so, especially with those long waiting lists for childcare.

Yesterday was Thursday, and traffic in New York City can get pretty chaotic on a weekday.

OK

I had already assumed you started working.

Grace Anderson3 said:Yesterday I was gone for almost three hours—it was a weekday and traffic in New York City was just brutal🤷

Third diaper tonight and (successfully👍) getting the little one to sleep.

I guess I'm counting sheep to try and drift off myself

A weekday? 🤔

Grace Anderson3 said:It went great! 🎉

Yes!

👍

Well, like you mentioned yourself, maybe just stop nursing him and let Hans take over the feedings instead. I guess that might help build an even deeper bond. 🙂

I wonder how Hans's first solo shift went, or maybe that's still happening later today?

👋

Grace Anderson3 said:I also think, Baz, that they both need to start building that relationship—and that trust—right now. Once those typical father-son conflicts kick in, I guess it might already be too late.

Josh 🙂 Hans is honestly one of the most level-headed guys I know; he just really needs to work on his self-confidence. If things go sideways tomorrow, that punk rock neighbor is always there to step in and help. 🙂

Anarchy for Toddlers, Vol. 1🤣

Thanks, everyone, though I don't see myself heading back anytime soon. I honestly have no clue what those two posts from Honey and Adelon were even about, but alright...

If the admins haven't banned me yet, I'd really appreciate it if they could just close this thread and delete it, if that's even an option.

Take care and enjoy yourselves.

I was wondering if I could possibly request a ban4life or just whatever the longest duration available might be. Thanks.
