i bet everyone in this tread is threatened by my youth.

i'm into the streaming as well. i'm someone who still has cable, a few free and a few paid streaming. i have to clean it up because i have a strong feeling i'm paying far more than i need to.

you are very passionate about this.

ya know...i didn't. i think about it on the regular. my wife is covered for a few years, but i still don't like the idea.

i've decided to have more kids so i can use their names and birthdays as passwords.

I thought the aau basket ball was somewhat intense in terms of competitiveness, but I don’t know how busy the schedule is. 85 baseball games in 2 months is insane. I’ve been to everyone of my kids events, but I just couldn’t do that. just have them try everything. my son is starting the school of rock this week where they introduce them to a few instruments and see what they like. as long as he doesn’t choose something like the harp, I’m in.

it's still that way now. for most of the bigger schools in our area, if you're not on a full year travel team, you're not going to make the varsity high school team. we had a dad in our office last spring, and when i asked him what was new, he led with his son making the varsity baseball team. he looked me right in the eye, with no real excitement and said, "you have no idea what a big deal it is." completely burned out. i do know what you mean about the camaraderie. the hockey parents do seem to have a great time even though they're gone almost every weekend. my kids are 8 and 5, so we are at the low pressure phase of introducing them to sports. i really don't care what they do, but they have to be involved in something...sports, drama, art, music, anything. they just can't sit on their asses and not evolve in some way.

yeah...i think there's a level of dedication and discipline that most high school kids didn't want to deal with. it's a tough sport.

i think gymnastics may be the girl version. my daughter did it for a few years when she was younger, just mostly for fun. there's a point where you have to get serious or get out. we're talking a practice or two a week to 4-5 days a week, travel tournaments, never ending seasons, etc. unless my kids shows some wild talent, this just isn't going to happen. even cheerleading has become a full time gig. i'm about 99.9999999% sure my kids will never go on to play division 1 anything, so we see sports as character builders and getting some exercise. it's much more enjoyable.

i saw the clip where it was trolling the drives of golfers. that thing is very cool.

i don't like to make generalizations, but i think the hard core wrestling dads are the worst. i know too many who are living through their kids. Constantly in tournaments, worry about ranking of kids 8 and under, fighting/arguing with other parents, etc. the worst is making kids that young suck weight. i can name a few people that don't allow their kids to eat just to keep in class. that's ***** gross. one dad makes his kid practice everyday after school, and will make him run laps if the practice isn't on point. the kid is 6 and his dad never wrestled a day in his life.

i had no idea they actually monitored this until recently, but it makes sense. my friend has a ram trx, and his plate is BASMF with a number, (maybe BAMF with a number). he didn't know if it would go through, and that's when i learned this was a thing.

The guy looks awful for 53.

wow. this is a really great heads up. i'll likely get another large dog at some point, and this is something i'll bring up to the vet.

i'm willing to be this makes up a sizable portion of the homeless community.

as my best friend explained to me long ago, you always spend a little more on things like tools and appliances. you'll be more disappointed that you didn't rather than disappointed that you did.

You’re not good at things…are you?

we sure know it's not going to be miami getting in the way...amiright?

ehhh. stories like this are really sad.

i'm in. i watch the game to have fun, and even in the darkest years i was optimistic that something finally might change at the start of every new season. who knows...may be this will finally be the year where everything just clicks. wouldn't that just be delightful?

this ***** guy!

the acl issue is such a pain for larger dogs. my dog never has really had any medical issues except for the acl. he tore on back leg 4-5 years ago. at that time they said they seem me back in a couple of years for the other leg. sure enough, two years later while my dog was running towards me when i got home, i watched him tear the other. the surgeries went well and healed perfectly, but i think i was 9-10k deep after that. my wife was pissy about it, and i let he know that i'd pay for the surgery for that dog before i paid for hers.

i'm there with ya. i would have no idea how to manage a family member with possible delusions.

doesn't involuntary commitment only come when someone is a potential harm to themselves/others? i'm not sure if here's there yet, but this is the first time i was made aware of any of this.
