My grandmother passed when I was 18, it was the first death “close” to home I’d have to deal with. Sure I was 18, but I was still a “a kid”, I was still “new” to the concept of death/having to deal with it. Because of her closeness to my mother, everyone came out to give my mom support...that’s fine, but missed…

I’m surprised there isn’t a “quiet” version floating around.

I liked the Fidget Cube, but (1) it was so noisy as you pointed out, and (2), my wife knowing I wanted one, bought one when she was out and about, I can TELL it isn’t the “real” one from the kickstarter, so I feel some kind of way about it. I would buy a legit one to counter her sale if you will, but after using the…

yep. when I worked retail (BB - Car-fi, Cameras), the first time I worked in a very much “hybrid economy” kind of area, and the second time I worked in a super high end area that was frequently visited by those without high end money. I stand out - 6'6" Black guy, while the rest of my co-workers were typically…

It was eerie, one of my old classmates that I keep in touch with via FB posted pictures of her and friends literally WITH RKelly at his show, You could almost “see” the tension in the “likes” and comments, she had a good time and tried to downplay everything, but everyone was like...”YO CULT FAM”. I’m not even sure…

I can’t cosign this one...as someone who goes between diet drinks (and doesn’t care about the labeling), they taste CRAZY different, real talk, Diet coke doesn’t taste like coke at ALL...maybe in the melted ice, watered down kind of way. On the other hand, Coke Zero reminds me of coke...it feels like TRUE Diet coke. …

I would love to get something like this, but I don’t understand how you can draw without drawing on what you want to draw...there is no screen, how do you know that ‘dot’ is where you want it?

I would love to get something like this, but I don’t understand how you can draw without drawing on what you want to…

I agree, but it is no different than professional athletes in terms of structure, so I’d look at post playing career the same, become “Media Members” to help push the league forward, become coaches, become people for establishing clinics, whether strictly for professionals (think Olajuwon for the NBA) or for kids with…

I think it’s less about what you learn during those years and more what realize after those years, about those years. Fresh out of college, very few people look at you as an adult. “Things really aren’t that serious”. Don’t feel as though you are “stuck” with the job you have. Don’t feel you HAVE to live where you…

I’m 35. The first time I heard the name “Emmett Till” was David Banner’s “Mississippi” album, I didn’t know who he was talking about, so I did my own research on the matter to find out. I lived in a predominantly black area, the son of baby boomers, and it had never been mentioned to me. I felt cheated, slighted,…

Indifference. I try to be compassionate and I am truly sorry for her and her family, but my outrage meter hasn’t budged. I read what happened and knew without having to read further, that she was going to get everything she deserved for this happening to her, the apologies, the resignation, the payments, etc. -…

HAHA I tag all relations in my phone, and Father In Law was too long, so I just started putting in [MIL] - XXXXX YYYY, to match [Cousin] TTTTT RRRRR, etc.

My mother in law (MIL) is fighting an aggressive leukemia now. I’ve never said anything about fighting or forgiveness...its never sat right with me. Instead, I try my best to show I care by some form of daily presence or concern, usually in the form of “How are you doing?” with a plethora of relevant follow up…

Don’t see digital Splatoons for $48...

Don’t see digital Splatoons for $48...

We have two chibi-monsters - 2 and 6 respectively. The kids menu is a frustrating list of over priced food that makes me not want to go out. $5 for 1/4 a box of craft mac n cheese? the kids are rarely satisfied with what they eat, so I’ve been slowly changing our habits to a more “group” meal selection. So instead…

So I was “sort of” click baited - nothing wrong with article, it was just...
“why should I”...and I think it is a great idea. I doubt personally I’ll ever do it, cause I don’t typically have that phobia...ever since I was a kid, I adopted a “twice over” rule when leaving the house for extended periods of time, and…

I just don’t get it. Splatoon was a GREAT game with a few GLARING AND OBVIOUS ISSUES, yet here we are on the eve of the sequel, and we are reduced to essentially calling your friends with your phone and putting them on speaker. My family bought a SECOND Wii U so that my wife and I could play together(issue #1 no…

I thought you were going to have my issue. I have a 6 year old, he’s a little more capable than a 4 year old, though for some reason I can’t figure out, he is scared of dying, in a game with save systems and pretty much infinite lives (“Boy back in my day, Mario had 3 lives, if you ran out, you started from the start…

It actually is kind of important IMO, but you need to figure out how much sleep your kids need. for me it is pretty simple, if my kids don’t have enough sleep, they misbehave the next day. They typically get around 10 a night. At 9 they are still OK, at 8 they have issues.

her quote was cringe worthy. You can’t say “tragedy for all involved”, when you didn’t “accidentally” pull that trigger.
