Nice! I love the idea of adopting for the holidays, as the norm is to surprise someone with a puppy from a kijiji breeder and have the poor pup end up in the shelter by August when they are fully grown and untrained.

Got a new winter Arcteryx jacket since the zipper on my old one self-destructed.

did you send your old one back for repairs? I thought their repair policy is supposed to be really good?

I often get Patagonia to fix my wrecked jackets etc.

I got the welcoming news that I will be a dad.

Congrats

Thank you :D

Won a nicely gifted coffee cups and coffee and gave that to my mom. Hardwell tickets for gf ;)

Fat. I got fat for Christmas :okay:

Yeah, Arcteryx has a good repair policy. They fixed a tear in one of my soft shell jackets a while back for pretty cheap. The wrecked jacket wasn't an Arcteryx however. It was just a basic jacket I've had for something like fifteen years. Figured it was time to upgrade lol

Congrats man! :) :woot2:

:/ westbeach told me it would be 75 dollars to replace my zipper and fabric around the zipper

...too bad it's cause the zipper melted

First time? Wow, congratulations. Take as many photos and videos you can, because they grow up so fast. Cherish the memories and do everything humanly possible to keep them safe. There's no such thing as being over protective. Upload pics if you can. Is it obvious I want grandchildren? LOLOLOL

I flew to the other side of the planet to spend time with my family
It's the best thing I could have gotten

Yes, first time. Excited and hope I'm ready for it all. Nah it isn't obvious :badpokerface:

One thing about parenting......... No course or manual will ever prepare you for parenting. It's like earthquake preparedness. BTW, when I mentioned over protective, I meant watching over them like a hawk when at parks, parking lots, playgrounds, shopping malls, crossing the street, etc. I nearly died when I lost my daughter at Willowbrook Mall. I was careless. Don't take anything for granted.

But first... take as much opportunity as you can to enjoy being childless. Because, believe me, you wont have a chance to enjoy it again.

....well, maybe in 25 years...

True, but wait too long and you will be in seniors home when your kids are still in high school. LOLOLOL
