Are you me? Had to get a new hot water system a week ago and was wondering wtf was up.

Pull the cap off the tempering valve. Thenget a 3mm allen key and turn the screw anti-clockwise to open it up heat wise.
If the water pressure shits itself when the hot comes on then you might have flow restrictors in the line - so best to change them out for something less restrictive.

Going to the gym for the first time since the season ended.

Bit of exercise never hurt anyone

I much prefer the old method of preseason being weekend coke benders to suppress the appetite and keep the weight off.

Damn fatherhood and responsibility and stuff.

To add to this..

When babyv4-1 was on its way we had a baby shower but invited the male members of the family too. Apparently, because men were present, I wasn't allowed to call it a baby shower or a baby shower (inc men) - I had to call it a BabyQ. Apparently BabyQ is the only socially acceptable way to have a baby shower that isn't women only. Note: we didn't have a BBQ at said BabyQ.

yeah i got invited to one of those things recently. 'beers and babyq' or some shit it was called. and there was a no gift policy. i didnt understand the reasoning behind a party with no presents or cake.

i declined the invite.

No presents, only your presence.

also, you can probably guess Plague and Mrs Plague didnt have any sort of ceremony/bbq/shower type shit.
the last thing i needed was a bunch of assholes sitting around reminding me of the hell i was about to endure.

Whats even worse is when they insist that every single card is read out aloud to everyone..

"Dear Baby,

Welcome to Dumpsville. Population...you"

Not really babyQ et. al relevant but nonetheless.

[Jetmaster]

Baby showers were never about the baby - it's all about attention on mum to be and for other mum's present to pass on their knowledge of caesarians, torn perineums, stitches, gas, epidurals, breaches etc to scare the hostess shitless.

I learnt about a new one today. So if a person is having a kid but doesn't want a baby shower before it arrives, but instead wants one after it has arrived so "you know what to buy for it".. that party is titled "Wetting the Babies Head". I assume because the baby is actually there, so the "shower" would make the baby wet? So when I learnt about this shindig I asked if it was "a baby shower but after the birth" and was lectured very strongly about the fact that "it is not a baby shower.. it is wetting the babies head" to which i replied "i thought wetting the babies head was when the man left the hospital after a few hours to go to the pub and get a few free drinks whilst leaving his newborn + mother of child to deal with cleaning up placenta and figuring out breastfeeding on their own" to which I got stunned looks and a simple yet strong "that is disgusting".

Wetting the babies head is for the Father and all the male members of the close family to get pissed after the birth and celebrate the new born. At least that's what my family calls it
