Not the old ladies that used that pool while pre-pubesent me was taking swimming lessons! They let everything hang out. And my mom always wondered why I left the changeroom with wet hair in the middle of winter...

I love sports, and am athletic, but this lesson is just as valuable for me. My son is almost three, and I need to be mindful that he may be either unathletic, uninterested in sports, or both. Either way, it’s my responsibility to make sure he’s equipped to deal with the challenges he faces, on the field or off.

This is obviously the correct answer, though I think my point stands that you couldn’t scare Megyn with a black santa without blackface. I find it hard to believe there are black people involved in the show.

Is it racist to wear blackface if it’s so you can scare Megyn Kelly? Normally, blackface is obviously super racist, but in this case, does the more racist opinion re: black santa trump it?

In a strange turn of events, the Mr and I found our bank balance IMPROVING post child, thanks to eating in all the time. No more dinner out with a couple of beers, now it was home cooked and a couple of beers, but without the mark up.

It’s true. The last softball team I played for, a bunch of guys brought their girlfriends into our team of stable, capable ladies. All of a sudden we had eight girls in our batting order, and we were sitting every other inning. The new ladies got together and decided that we shouldn’t make throws home anymore, because…

Yeah, I pretty much can’t throw a ball without my shoulder coming out of joint. That’s what years of abuse (sports) will do. I think I’m going to have to teach winesnob jr to throw with my left.

It’s almost tougher when you’ve got someone who’s just okay. If he sucked, you could be ruthless and cut his ass. I cut my own brother in law (he was garbage, and I told my mother in law bluntly that I wouldn’t play with him again). I’m happy to help out new players, but if you don’t start swimming and learn to play,…

As a former dballer, I honestly don’t see a market for a competitive product. Because there’s always more than one ball, it’s very difficult for an audience to follow, and reffing is nigh impossible - every one of us has played with someone we know got hit and didn’t go off.

Softball players make the best dodgeball players. As for Kara’s dead weight bf, can he at least catch? Is he coachable?

Also not a sport. Just ‘cause one made it in doesn’t mean another should.

Not sad, or at least it shouldn’t be. But of course today it is.

Would have been better than Dr Capra....

Why not something simpler? A drug or biological agent causing the symptoms and a sound as a red herring?

Literally not the same thing. When does a guy refer to another guy as upset?

Ha! Funnily enough, I quite like home Depot, but HATE going to Lowe’s with the Mr. Apparenly they have better electrical stuff? I dunno, I leave the wiring to him. I’ll be at the orange box eye-banging the compound miter saws, thanks!

Counterpoint: the worst store is the one I go to with my husband. He takes FOREVER. Like a grocery store trip will take me 45 minutes. Him? Like and hour and a half. Buying pants? I can be in and out of a store in 45 minutes with 3 pairs of pants (or 5 minutes with no pants), and I would never drag Mr. Winesnob with…

I know who I’m voting to die in this scenario, Internet stranger!

You’ve tried the water/lemon juice immersion? It’s not QUITE as good, but still very edible. Especially if you scrape off the thin layer that touched the water.
