I previously told her I was on GYE to mentor people, so mumbled that they were guys who were speaking to me for help. Meanwhile I was waiting to see if she opened the google voice app (where I do all my gye texting). If I saw she was going for that my plan was to disembowel myself on the couch as a distraction. God, I hope it's not a velvet couch. First of all, ew no way. Second of all, what do I care what it does to my couch once I'm disemboweled. |

As the resident Nudnik, can I ask what tool/technique you were planning on using for the disembowlement? |

Dude. Bury the google voice app in a subfolder of apps. Labelled “insurance”. I am very conscious of privacy and safety. I use a separate Google voice account which is hidden in my phones hidden apps section which is only accessible by entering a special code in the phone dialer. Additionally I have a task running that turns off the notifications for Google voice when I am at home so that my wife shouldn't see a notification pop-up for an incoming text. You can usually use a do not disturb routine. Contacts are saved with real names that reference the person using the initials, Like for ChoseMyShem would be Chaim Moshe Sheminov, etc... However the biggest way I protect other people's privacy is by not being in contact with other people!  As an a side note, it bothers me when I see people sharing every time they meet someone. I'm not sure if the person they met wants you should share that info. For example, I am based in New Zealand and if people know that fact, every time I share I met someone, than anyone can know that the other person is also based in New Zealand. If I really want, I can list out a couple of people based in Lakewood based solely on their interactions. In general what someone shares needs to remain private, including the actual fact that he shared with you. Ok, rants over, time to go back to my hiding spot. Since it is the grouchery, you can all blame a certain soldier for waking me up! |

Hoo, boy. What to grouch about? I have so many options!
Should I grouch about my baby not being able to keep a bottle down? (That actually doesn’t sound too bad in other contexts, but still.) Maybe his teething? How’s about my job? I’m still waiting for a raise. Meh. Tzitzis dude can do better. I was supposed to finish early today, but I couldn’t do my job well enough, so I got home later than I should’ve. Plus both hands have blisters. My wife’s job? She only has two clients and kvetches enough for ten. She can’t think about taking on more now. Hey, what about my two kids along with my wife having a serious stomach bug and me having to take off from work and help out the whole day, is that a worthy grouch?  Warning: Spoiler! |

You can win the fight, but I'll have to live with the loser.
Any excuse you use for yourself, you must be willing to use for your wife. Not Always can I understand others, but I can always respect their wishes. You're human, it's okay. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. |

The baby is still spitting up an ungodly amount. And yes, still getting it on my shabbos suit.
Oh, and my older son went and fell off the monkey bars yesterday afternoon, broke his wrist. Warning: Spoiler! |
