We’ll make the aliens pay for it.

Raising kids is just a constant trial and error and a ton of experimentation. What helped your 2.1 year old sleep won’t work for their 2.5 sleep regression. Try new things and don’t freak out. Every time my toddler suddenly won’t sleep through the night it feels like its lasting a life time, but its really only a…

Using a realtor, I bought a foreclosure in 2011. I looked for a house in bad condition but with a lot of equity (read: big yard, large square footage, usable basement/attic). Over 5 years, I treated home renovations as my hobby, spent a lot of money and sweat (and only rarely a contractor) to do a ton of work. Then, I…

I’ve run a D&D group off and on for years at the high school I work at. The kids are great, sessions are fun, we’ve had enough kids to warrant having students DM groups (including where I’ve played on only helped the DM occasionally).

ALL OF THE STARS!

I’m also a coach in Minneapolis. I coach a soccer team in a city with a very large Somali population, thus, my team has a very large Somali population. I have several of these rural teams I WILL NOT schedule games with anymore because of “Go Back to Africa” screams from the opposing fans and other vile racism I won’t…

Sous vide those shrimp with the shell off. I can’t stand giving guests shrimp as an appetizer if they have to peel them. Especially if its buffet style.

This whole debacle just makes me sad. I grew up with Fallout 2. It was probably the first video game I truly sunk many hours into. I played other games on console and had fun, but F2 really had me. Then I found a copy of F1, did that and proceeded to wait forever for Fallout 3. Loved it, loved New Vegas, but something…

Fantastic piece. I look forward to watching the world championship every year but I felt relatively unprepared on Caruana. Thanks, now I’m ready.

Screamin Jay Hawkins, or get out.

It is my greatest failure, that I have but one star to give.

Watching the despairing Seumalo chase him right after the catch was amazing. 

The replies to my comment are incredibly disheartening. People assuming that as an educator I don’t embrace new technology and new ideas or that I shouldn’t embrace them because its dumbing down students and humanity. I should either be a complete hard ass and completely ban them, or I should do the exact opposite as…

Shit’s gonna get real.

As a high school teacher... I’m really not excited for this.

I really... really disagree with Prime Video having a great list of quality movies. Most of it is garbage or super obscure. I’ve got it only because we pay for Prime (for the shipping). Netflix for the overall, HBO for its shows and occasional new releases.

My has had success with WW. The revamp in how points with how points are calculated seem to push her toward healthy eating rather than purely calorie counting. Plus, the meetings are an important ritual for the process. She doesn’t attend with friends or family, but scheduling that moment on the same scale every week…

Worth noting, I was listening to the game on the KFAN radio station, with heavily biased Vikings fan announcers. They seemed equally surprised by the call. However, they mentioned for the last 5-10 minutes, Mathews had been yelling at the ref and they’d been talking angrily back and forth. They thought Mathews talked…

I like to treat my adult athletics as my overall reason to stay (relatively) health and in good shape. It makes setting gym goals easier and feels less egocentric. Plus, it gives me a reason to think about my joints at the gym (and not just muscles).

Great article and Ms. Wambach’s advice is top notch.
