Beth, if you're in NYC, come to a class. Intro classes are just $10 and there might even be a $5 deal going on. You'll get hooked.

Historial European Martial Arts aka HEMA aka fighting with actual longswords.

I've got 3 under 4 years, 2 of them still in diapers. Really, I stuff a diaper or two in a cargo pocket, a couple of wipes in a sandwich sized ziplock and I'm good to go.

I'm looking into a pair of Primal Professionals for work, and I'll stick with actually be it barefoot the rest of the time. No shoe is a good as no shoes.

As a previously sedentary guy weighing just over 300 lbs, trying to get into running with traditional New Balance shoes was a painful endeavor. I went to the specialty shop, got fitted, had them assess my gait, etc. And still, my knees, hips, and shins hurt like hell when I jogged, regardless of my stretching routine.

It's the second one, really. The Wiccan Family Temple has members from all over the city, and holds rituals and other events in many places in the city, not just one neighborhood. I've gone to rituals in different parks and other public accessible places with them.

The article also neglects to mention that Witchfest…

There is no "Religion" badge. There are numerous religious awards, depending on what faith you subscribe to. The list isn't exhaustive enough, but it's pretty big and not limited to Christianity. Also, it's completely optional. If your chartering organization was forcing it, they were doing the program wrong, period.

If they're kid appropriate, donate them to a teacher.

I've owned knives of all kinds, and I use my Swiss Army knife more often than I ever used any multitool I've owned. The only thing I rarely used it for was cutting, for that I usually carry a locking 3.5" knife.

With the horns and furry hat, and the knowledge that this is Halloween, is there even a chance he wasn't doing blackface, but just wearing black makeup to be a bull (Wall Street type, with the suit and all) or other "creative" costume that has nothing to do with black people?

I've done it a number of times in my adult life, though I've never been able to take it to heart as he did.

It's not just urban cowboys with unnecessary trucks. I've got a Grand Caravan that I love, because we have two small kids in carseats, I had a big, older dog at the time (he died recently), and I often drive my elderly mom places, who uses a walker. Two strollers, a walker, some luggage, and the van fills pretty quick.

Sandra Bullock played the slob already in Miss Congeniality.

Thinking like this is the reason people pay so much attention to the Kardashians. Behind your words of standards, etiquette, and "class" is a level of adherence to conformity and shallow measures of "civility" that is disgusting.

People enjoy Dominos "pizza"?

Leave the room to blow your nose? Really?

I was an elementary school teacher. For the first two years I had to wake at 5am for my commute, then later I worked in my own neighborhood, so I only got up at 7. Still, through all that, mornings were a nightmare and I reverted to sleeping in when I didn't have to be up. It never got easier...

I have a few kids (two still in diapers) and I'm still a night person.

Netflix does have a limit on how many devices can be in use at one time, so it's not like you're going to share with everyone you know cause the downfall of Netflix. I share mine with my brother (who shares back Hulu+ in return) and my inlaws, who have a disc plan but no streaming. Occasionally, my brother's kids are…

I agree 100%.
