 we're going, when we'll go and contact the babysitter to arrange it.  He just showers and puts on clothes.  That's the extent of what he does for "us".

​He does play video games, but not obsessively. So that I'm ok with.  If I need a hug, he will gladly oblige.  We don't have sex that often, but to be fair, we're both NOT overly-sexual people (never have been) and would rather just relax and/or sleep if given the choice.  We're just drained all the time.  He seems to know what "love" is and can be "loving" but who knows if he's just mimicking what he's learned from me? He didn't grow up with any love--and I'm SURE his parents are both on the spectrum, but don't get me started on that!

​The problem I was getting to but got sidetracked:  Our anniversary getaway--I booked the hotel room 2 1/2 months ago.  Told/asked his mother to come out during this time (I gave her dates that I would prefer she come, including a few days before we leave so we can teach her our daughter's school/home routines).  I asked her BEFORE I booked the hotel--3 MONTHS AGO.    So for whatever reason, 3 months wasn't enough time to get this paper???  The point is, neither her or her son bothered getting plane tickets in all this time.   Long story short (too late), she can only come the day before we're supposed to leave which gives LESS THAN 24 HOURS for her to learn our child's routines and this includes learning about the drop off and pick up melee at her school that takes place everyday.

​So, as what usually happens:  My husband doesn't "see a problem" with any of this.   As all young children do, (she's 6) she has things that can make her day go well or go poorly and things that her grandmother has NO CLUE about (she only sees her MAYBE once a year, but more like a year to a year and a half on average. )  They live in another state.  So I just told my husband "I'm tired of feeling like I'm the one at fault here.    So I cancelled our trip.  The one light in my dim little life at this point I was REALLY looking forward to.  And he was like "Ok."  And I talked to my therapist today and she understands how I feel.  I have to decide how long I want to live like this for.

​To be fair, he wasn't like this before we had the kid.  Otherwise, things might have been different.  If I knew he was going to be a mediocre-at-best parent, I probably wouldn't have had our kid.  Anyway, I was going to post about this last night but decided against it since I didn't think I'd get anyone sympathizing but now I know that's not the case.  Sorry to hijack your post, OP.  I just want you to know you're not alone.Save the cover of Rolling Stone for somebody else.
Moe Berg is into fashion.
The leader of the Pursuit of Happiness kicked off the media blitz for The Downward Road, the Toronto band's first new album in two-and-a-half years, by getting mentioned in a glossy women's magazine.
"We're in this month's Elle magazine, which is, of course, the thrill for us," gushed Berg on the phone from a rehearsal hall in Toronto. "No, honestly: When our record company in New York said, 'What do you want to do?' we didn't say Rolling Stone. We didn't say Spin. We said Elle...
"It was fantastic - picture and everything. It's like (supermodels) Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington and the Pursuit of Happiness."
TPOH is slated to play Winnipeg March 29 at Le Rendez-Vous.
The Elle spread is just another example of the Pursuit of Happiness' charming cheek, which surfaced seven years ago with the independent hit single, I'm An Adult Now.
That song laid out Berg's agenda clearly: His love songs are about women, not girls. Incredibly, three albums along, Berg can still put a fresh spin on the man's-eye-view of very adult relationships.
"I don't find it difficult plugging into this sort of mentality," said the 33-year-old Edmonton native.
"This is stuff that's of concern and interest to me. I'm not writing about finishing my day in high school and hopping in my car to pick up my gal. If I was doing that, it would probably start to get difficult."
Switching producers, from Berg's idol Todd Rundgren - who polished the 1988 album Love Junk and 1990's One-Sided Story - to Talking Heads and Living Color producer Ed Stasium, toughened up an already fierce guitar attack.
After leading with a harmonic snippet of the Staple Singers song The Downward Road - gleaned from Berg's recent flirtation with classic American gospel - the band plunges head first into the new album's first single, Cigarette Dangles, and rarely lets up.
The perceptive sting even carries over to reflective songs like But I Do, Berg's attempt to "put a human face to the philanderer, or the promiscuous male.
 I think that song is sort of fraught with enough guilt to not make it seem like an endorsement of that kind of lifestyle - but at the same time, a lot of people who are like that aren't evil, they're not bad, but they find it to be part of their lifestyle."
On the flipside is Bored of You, an "I told you so" message to the rebel who settles down to humble domesticity with his perfect mate, only to be dumped because he has lost his rough edge.Venison pairs well with earthy flavours, so this black pudding crust is an ideal partner. While most will bring the meat up to room temperature before cooking, I tend to place in in the oven or BBQ straight from the fridge, it helps to keep the crumb intact. Venison should ideally be served medium rare at a core temp of 57c. Game meats can be very dry if cooked longer.The flow rate of the SP510 should be verified at the sample inlet at the bottom of the cabinet. The best flow rate coming in at this point is 200 ml/min.
Can the setpoint of the SP510 Hardness Monitor be changed by changing reagents?
Is there a manual available for the Radiometer Analytical ISE25Br-9 Bromide Ion Selective Electrode (ISE)?

He was born in the dynamic and prosperous central Mexican city of Querétaro. Officially founded in 1531, the heart of the city, with its elegant Baroque architecture, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Surrounded by the city’s history and culture, Herzon grew up in a large, lively family of musicians and artists. His father, a guitarist and singer, was a member of a trio that performed romantic Mexican music and Cuban Bolero. His mother, a classical pianist, taught lessons to children in her home on an 1887 Mendelssohn upright bedecked with candelabras. Herzon says, “That piano was the jewel of the family.” Of his three older sisters and brother, one is an oil painter; the others, like him, are musicians.
Although his passion for motorcycles is unabated, Herzon at age 19 abandoned his study of auto mechanics after three years at a technical school. He chose instead to give himself over to his passion for music. For eleven years he performed in Querétaro, sometimes with his father or sister, for large public audiences at Plaza de Armas or for small private groups at house parties. While his sister, with her photographic memory, could hear a song once and play or sing it, he needed to listen two or three times.
In 2003 he acquired a highly prized Silent guitar by Yamaha. One evening, when he and his father were performing in a restaurant in Querétaro, internationally famous drummer Dave Weckl walked in. (Weckl was named “one of the best 25 drummers of all time” by Modern Drummer magazine.) As Herzon describes it, "Dave listened to my music and liked it. People took our pictures together, and he signed my guitar.” But in Loreto in 2007, a thief stole the guitar, erased Weckl’s signature, and sold it to a local music store, cheap. When Herzon walked in to buy a case for his bass guitar, the storeowner, unaware of the theft, happened to show him his guitar. Herzon walked out with it, free of charge.
Again at his stepmother’s urging, he played in Loreto’s town square and sold CDs. On another free-lance gig, he vividly remembers playing “La Bamba” with his father at Posada de las Flores to a bar packed with enthusiastic margarita drinkers. They bought his CDs and dropped generous tips. The next step up was to
