I really want to get a hattrick I just need to budget better keep losing focus and paying bills or buying food or signing my kid up for baseball or the other one for ballet or the wife buys a new purse. Next thing I know my moneys gone. A conversation last week with the wife was about how she really needed a new plastic doodad to sort her recipe pages for easier access. They are laminated in a binder isn’t that good enough? No… also some plastic thing to hold eggs in the fridge. We too good for an egg carton? Apparently… Not worth the fight though. Never worth the argument. ---

Im pretty sure my girlfriend has started to purposely stand right next to me so I can’t throw my yoyo when she wants my full attention when I’m in the middle of a yoyo session. I been curious if she’s doing it on purpose or if she just doesn’t realize and I’m not going to ask. ☠ ---

Best option is if she wants your full attention, you should give it to her. She prolly deserves it. Also my wife does this too and I know she’s not doing it on purpose. I told her she’s gotta give me a warning before coming into my Yoyo space while they’re spinning tho bc I’ll get murdered if I hit her w a Yoyo. ---

Anyone else ever get in the loop where you play with a yoyo because it has fresh string, ruin the string, then just move on to the next yoyo with a fresh string because you’re too lazy to put a fresh string on until eventually most of your yoyos just have junk string? And then you have a 30 minute project of putting on fresh string? Just me? :skull: ---

I do this with string bearings and pads :joy: I have at least 15 yo-yos with dead bearings that I have to clean eventually. ---

Opposite here. I can’t put a yo-yo down until it is in condition to pick up again and play right away. Playable string with neutral tension, no bearing or pad issues. The only exception is one that I am moving out of the rotation entirely, in which case I remove the string. ---
