You should ask for this one:

Amazon.com

lol yeah i saw some of those and was blown away there were $700 flashlights. Bear attack repellant.

I selected a $30 one, put it on my Amazon wish list so they would get the one I wanted. Asked for this at Christmas but wasnt specific and my wife bought me a dewitt that then needed a separate battery she didnt know she had to buy .. honestly she probaly spent like $50 on it and its in my basement somewhere.

life tip -- let your wife know the exact model of something you want them to buy for you as a gift. I have ryobi and various black n decker battery packs. We are not a dewitt household.

life tip -- make an amazon wish list, make it easy on your fam

I’m slowly distancing myself from social media. Facebook stays for family reasons (and marketplace is awesome) but man Instagram and Twitter are so toxic now. I keep scrolling and ask myself why I’m even doing it, when I don’t care about any of this stuff and it actually makes me a bit agitated when people post stupid stuff. I personally don’t care about a person I hardly know spending their vacation in Napa Valley. Why am I even friends with you on social media? Bleh

Now?!?!?

Now?!?!?

Hahaha, it’s been toxic for a while yes. I’m just slowly realizing it’s a complete waste of energy.

I came to this conclusion like a year and a half ago. Completely deleted my twitter account because I noticed I would spend so much time on it and it made me angry seeing some of the toxic and dumb shit posted. I ended up cleansing my Instagram as well of accounts and people that I realized felt like a chore to “like” their stuff. I came to the realization that I felt overwhelmed from over consuming content. There’s just too much out there that’s trying to get our attention and it gets to feel like an addiction to going on those apps anymore.

Facebook killed that over a decade ago once my last band broke up. Only reason why I had it cause it was kinda needed back then.

After Biden got elected started staying off twitter a ton more. By the time Musk bought it and started revealing the biggest troll that he is it had been a couple of months of not even opening. Oh he killed off the api for alternative twitter apps with like barely any warning and I loved the app I used. I do have instagram but I probably just actual log into 2 or 3 times a year for a few minutes.

THIS forum is my social media. Im banned from reddit and its impossible to create a diffirent account

I found reddit very helpful for just being able to anonymously talk about marriage and kids and sensitive stuff .. it was a sounding board to just expel throughts/feelings in a cathartic way
