Hello. Welcome to Daily's for March 4, Friday, March 4. It's my seven. Feels like my 10 with wind chill. It's not a weather podcast though.
Speaker 1:This is definitely not a weather podcast, but it is brought to you by Daily(ish). No. It's not. It's brought to you by Feed Press. I think I've done that three times.
Speaker 1:Take a shot of your favorite coffee or whatever you happen to be drinking. Every time I do that, brought to you by FeedPress. FeedPress is the analytics and podcast hosting platform that we use here at Good Stuff to send out all the podcasts that we use. I also use it on my personal blog just for sending out the RSS feed that people can subscribe to in various programs and apps and sites and things so that I can see sort of roughly some stats on who's reading what and where and when and why and how and what they're using to play the podcast with. That kind of stuff is what we get.
Speaker 1:This this sort of stats and stuff that we get out of FeedPress, plus they host a podcast for us and send it out all over the world using a much faster content distribution network, which is CDN for short. There you learn something new. If you hear someone talking about a CDN somewhere in some sort of tech meeting, there you go. Free information handed out liberally. Thanks to FeedPress.

No contracts or commitments. And also by Patreon supporters such as yourself, visit patreon.com/ichris, and you can, join the, I don't like using the word community. There there is a community there, but it's that's it's not like you have to pay to be a part of a community.
Speaker 1:That's not what it is. Anyways, there's a group of folks who happen to be paying, who kind of have formed a community through our stuffy Slack, the Slack group that we have for anybody who's supporting any show on good stuff. And, you know, you can sort of help. It's I'd say, I don't know if shaping good stuff is too big of a word maybe, but, you know, involved in the sort of some of the discussions of how good stuff happens and just also some of the discussions of a podcast like this one you can discuss with other listeners such as Erin or, Moondaze. That's her alias.
Speaker 1:She has her real name in in the Slack thing. So, anyways, all that to say, if you want to join that and you are a Patreon member already, let me know. [email protected] is my email address. Or you can join Patreon, with a dollar or 2 a month, and you can become a part of that group. It concludes shows other other listeners, other shows like Three Guys for Questions, The Morning Show.
Speaker 1:That's it for now, think. Other posts are talking more joining. Anyways, I have a question for you. When is a kid my question is when is a kid sick and when is a kid not sick? And I if if anything generates some sort of feedback, I would imagine this it would if there's any parents out there anyways because it's a common thing of like your kid is sick, you but you wanna go out and do stuff as a family, especially if you have more than one child.
Speaker 1:And so do you punish everybody? Does somebody stay home with sick kid? And obviously, there's varying degrees of sick. So I'll lay this out for you over our weekend here. The Friday today, the kids are off school, so there's no school.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like a nice little bit of a longer weekend with and it's supposed to be really nice Saturday and Sunday above zero, above freezing, so should be a nice day to be outside and do stuff. Our middle child Mason comes home from school sick for a Thursday, not feeling good, laying down, tired, sleeps for three hours, two hours after school, wakes up, feels great. He's awesome. And this is the the warning for parents out there who I'm I I'm sure we've had this before with with this child specifically, but in general, it's just the calm before the storm because he was fine. He's running around.
Speaker 1:He's playing. He's, like, hungry, eats supper. Great. Then 09:30, at night, Sue and I sit down to watch some survivor. Yes, you do if you're at all interested in survivor.
Speaker 1:And, we hear thump, thump, thump down the stairs, and Mason's downstairs. And he's not like puking, but he's just, you know, not feeling great, can't sleep because he slept for two hours. No big deal. Throw a blanket on him, sit down, watch Survivor with us for ten minutes. And then we're like, hey, time to go back upstairs.
Speaker 1:And as he's going upstairs, he chucks his entire supper on the stairs. So, okay, now he's sick. In my mind, he's classified as sick, and, sick kids, you know, rest and don't touch things and get sprayed with Lysol so they don't spread the germs, and you wear, hazmat suits around them all the time. But, sleep through the night just fine. I'm I'm anticipating like a night of like every three hours because Mason's our puker.
Speaker 1:He's like, if he's sick, he's sick, he's out, he's laid out, can't get up, you know, just it knocks him out for for three or four days, two or three days and puking, you know, everything. He eats, he pukes up, etcetera. This one, he sleeps through the night just fine and is up in the morning. We wake up at like, we sleep in till eight, which is crazy. Never happens.
Speaker 1:And our kids are all three of them are playing downstairs. Mason, one of them. We assume, you know, Mason's in bed, then the other two are downstairs playing. No. He's down there, you know, yelling and jumping around and playing.
Speaker 1:So that's where he's we're at this morning as we're making some pancakes. So we'll see. He's drank a bunch of water this morning. Nothing's come back up. And so who knows?
Speaker 1:We'll see. We'll see what happens. We can play the, the morning show has a upvote, downvote game where, I mean, it's more on a topic of of something that you of whether you think that's a good or a bad thing, but, upvote, downvote on whether you think Mason will puke again. That's a fun game for everybody else to play except for us. So we'll see.
Speaker 1:Like, he, what was I gonna say? He's, we'll we'll feed him one pancake and then just sort of watch and wait in anticipation and dread to see what happens. Boom. But luckily, our kids are mostly old enough. I mean, he hit the stairs obviously last night because it kind of he just doesn't recognize the signs of when you're about to puke.
Speaker 1:But, our kids, once they know they're sick, they're old enough to, like, carry the bucket around and hit the bucket and not, make a huge mess everywhere. But it still happens. Like, I know last year this time, was looking in my day one journal and I have a tag for sick and you entries. That's basically what my day one journal is, is me complaining when our kids are sick. But, it was actually last year this time, March, when, our kids went through a puking party of sorts.
Speaker 1:And so, yeah, I think it's always like we thought this year, especially, we kinda thought, hey, maybe, you know, going to Mexico, coming back, maybe we skip some of the the flu y whatever yucky stuff that everybody else would have gotten. But actually, no, we're just right on schedule. So there you go. Plus one for journaling, knowing that your kids are on their puking schedules just just normal. Alright.
Speaker 1:Don't need your advice on, on sickness because I think about it enough as it is. I think the my I lean towards the the militaristic view of, like, if your kid your kid should stay, quarantined for two days after they the last time they puked or coughed or whatever. That's sort of my leaning towards, but obviously that isn't very practical in a family or in real life in general. If you're a solo adult or married or whatever, but without kids and you're just a person, an adult, then it's pretty easy to quarantine yourself, especially if you have a job that you can do remotely or whatever like I do. No big deal.
Speaker 1:You just stay to avoid people for until you're really healthy. Kids is just not so easy. It's people wanna play. They wanna go out. You wanna hang out.
Speaker 1:You wanna just, like, not have to all be quarantined together. So we'll see what we do. See how it goes. Let me know. Upvote, downvote.
Speaker 1:More puke to come. Thanks for listening. Hope this doesn't make you puke. If the discussion of puke does, maybe skip this episode. It's a little bit belated.
Speaker 1:Hope you have a great weekend wherever you are in the world. Thank you for listening. Have a great day. Bye.
