Changing gyms and having to figure out the weight differences on newer hammer strength machines and older hammer strength machines, kinda ruins my momentum, lol
Trying to figure out my warmup weight jumps in kilos.
Gift bags. Whoever come with the idea of sticking stuff in a bag and fluffing tissue paper out the top, should be drawn and quartered.
Just give the the damn wrapping paper and scotch tape!
My ex MIL always said, āyou use a gift bag when you donāt give a shit enough to wrap the gift.ā I agree.

That I as a parent can not see my 5 kids grow up in a safe world with the american and the russian moronic presidents spooning. Immigration, pollution, melting of the poles. So much shit they have to face.
I 100% disagree. I canāt wrap a gift for shit. Gift bags are a gift from God. I got about 20 gifts under the tree in about 20 minutes.

Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like snide comments about my gift wrapping skills.
Plus I can reuse bags.
Bags ftw.

Ugh. You have never done all the Christmas gift wrapping for a mostly blind 86yo and it shows. How many times are we reusing these bags and tissue paper? Yuck!
I donāt reuse the tissue paper, but Iāll bet Iām on year 5 with some of the bags.

The real money move is to re-use the bags from gifts OTHER people gave you.
Similar to how my grandfather had a pen pal he wrote to for 30 years, using the same envelope and stamp with a new āreturn to senderā written on it multiple timesā¦

And to re-gift the gifts you donāt like, lol
This got tricky with social media and people posting photos of their giftsā¦
My in-laws will re-gift your own gift back to you next year and claim theyāre saving you money.
All I really want from them is one night of babysitting a month. Thatās free.
My job as dad is to hover over other people opening wrapped gifts and immediately stuffing the paper in a garbage bag so we donāt drown in a chaotic copious cacophony of choking Christmas cellulose clutter.

And to try to not act surprised at the contents when your kid unwraps a present from āMom and Dadā that you had NO part in obtaining or wrapping.

They know that dad works behind the scenes.
agree to disagree.
I canāt stand fiddly tasks so being able to stick something into a bag saves me the frustration.
I loved tearing wrapping paper as a gift, but I canāt imagine the chaos of dealing wtih the mess as an adult.

I can see both sides of the issue, but the truth is- I suck at gift wrapping. Its one of those things that I really try to make nice, but still suck at.
If I did like a couple hundred or something, Iām sure it would click, but I donāt get that many opportunities.
