It depends quite a bit on where you live. The average US household income is 52k a year which, following those rules means you can afford an 11oo/mo mortgage and a 430/mo car payment. There are LOADS of places in the US where those are both perfectly reasonable without living in a crappy part of town or the middle of…

See? That right there...

She can ask all she wants. I just won’t feel duty-bound to oblige.

Pretty much. My cousin is on the team and has been playing ice hockey since he could walk and is about the best player in the league. Me, I’m 3rd or 4th line type of guy who has as much fun drinking beers in the parking lot after the game. That’s really why I play... to get away from my wife and kids for a few…

Gee, the one unifying theme in all these was a dislike and mistrust of Hillary. Something much of the left agrees with. Someone remind me why the DNC pretty much anointed her as the nominee again?

The BLS actually tracks those people who have stopped looking as part of its U5 and U6 rates

Behold the 13-foot tall 1.5-ton “Method-2,”

Kid’s got a hell of a lot of pressure on him. With a name like “LaMelo Ball,” you better be the best goddamn hooper in your county. Good thing his mama kept going east into Chino Hills and didn’t stop in Diamond Bar.

Yeah, mine LOVES playing defense, and rarely lets anyone even get past her to shoot in the first place when she does.

Yeah, he did get over it (although watching one of his teammates get his femur broken in a match lessened his enthusiasm as well). When he hit high school, there no longer was a team - thus ended his wrestling career. (Loved to watch him though - he was one of those little <100 guys, and the bouts in those weight…

Yes - there’s a “cry corner” in or around any gym that hosts a wrestling match. Crazy psychological, too. My son had a great day of wins, and was on his way to the finals when the boy he faced for the last match leaned forward and gave him a smart smack on the cheek as it started. Kid Eagle was so thrown by this…

my stepmom did this to my stepsister once and she slept in the bathroom in protest LOL

Most people I know would be thrilled to get a letter from the President elect.

I always knew the day would come because they’re terrible people. 10 years ago, I didn’t make a big deal because I thought a relationship with grandparents was important. It isn’t if they’re toxic.

Holy shit! Baptizing a kid behind their parents back is fucking child abuse in my opinion. Are your in-laws John Lithgow from Footloose?

Thanks. It’s making their lives sad. “Please reconsider. A child needs their grandparents”. Blah blah blah. I should have done it 10 years ago when the baptised her behind our backs. But I let it slide. Or the first time they dropped the N word in her presence. Those were always extended time outs without me telling…

I’m far from a hipster (actually a 41 year old father of 3), not that I made it popular, but I do promote it to everyone I know that has to travel to places where they have a shack.

I’m sorry Hillary didn’t inspire hope in me. I don’t see that as particularly my fault. It’s really the opposite. My integrity is what kept me from voting for her. Most of all, I’m sorry you can’t see that thru your Hillary colored glasses.

You’re welcome to lay the blame at my feet. I’ll weather the storm for you if that’s what you and America would like me to do. But the blame belongs with the democratic party not rising to the occasion to swiftly spare us from Trump. Nor was my vote a tie breaking ordeal. They had what was a clear candidate that…
