tamarack Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just stopped in here - great news about Scooter Jr! It's all good, even the "bad" parts. (Easy for me to say now, as I'm in the grandparent business. Just wish they were closer than Illinois.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 LOL...thanks again for the well wishes. It means a lot..really does. I'll gladly take any advice down the road. Hopefully there is a good reason to look at he 00z euro at 1am this winter, other than me feeding. I just wanted to add my well wishes to the new father...it's a great feeling and life will only get better. Perfect timing too...I was born in December and have always loved it! The best advice that I can give is to rest up and make sure you get as much sleep whenever you can as a priority. Everything else can wait! Oh, I'm sure that we'll have plenty to track this winter. We can only go up from here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats man-it's a great experience and a life changer to say the least...wouldnt change a thing here... Yikes! I guess my wife and I are lucky in that we considered all that before we were married and have lived on my income and money from the maple business. We factored in all the transport costs, special clothes, extra expenses for meals not to mention daycare along with the pluses of healthier meals, less stress and a lot more convenience and little extra that two incomes actually bring and it just made more sense for only one of us to work and save all that. I'm just amazed - $1-1200 a month to have someone do something you can do for free? I guess it's whatever works for each situation...It helps that I work remotely most days and that we have a family businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet in those affluent suburbs like Wellsley or Weston...it's probably a lot more. I'm dreading that, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 that's the truth-cost of living is high since we live within commuting distance to NYC. $1000 a month is awesome. How old are yours? (boy/boy here, turned 3 this past March 29th) Boy and girl, just turned 6 and finishing up kindergarten. A fun age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Are you a meteorologist?! Get a red tag!! lol...a long time ago in a land far far away. I stopped working in the field in the early 90s and became a computer programmer/maple syrup producer and didn't have anything to do with weather except keeping my daily record. It wasn't till a few years ago (2005) that I had the time to start getting into things a little more. I think once you're a weather weenie, always a weather weenie. Why were you guys called MetHerbs? As a Plymouth alum I know nothing about this. It had something to do with burger kings campaign at the time featuring a guy named Herb. People just started calling us Met Herbs because we were nerdy, geeky types that the rest of the school didn't know much about (I guess). The term I'd like to know the origin of if "weather weenie". The newscasters at a station I interned (ch. 22 in Springfield) at called us that and even went so far as to have "weenie alerts" but I don't know if they started it or used it from someone else. Here's on of the Burger King Commercials for Herb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
