  1. We are dual income and do camps when not on vacation during the summer. The first summer blew me away at the price per week. I thought we were going to save a ton of money that first summer with the first kid no longer in daycare. I found we spent the about same amount per year with most of it during the summer months. Most of the camps that we do are themed and different every week. Sometimes they suck and sometimes they are awesome. Most have some sort of field trip somewhere and a swim day or two as well. If you can find a friend with kids and and "pay" them it would be cheaper, but would they just sit around the house all day or get out and do things? I just accepted that fact that I am going to spend at least $250 a week on camps per kid. My oldest doesn't need camps anymore so that saves us, but I also don't want him sitting at home all day playing video games, so we schedule some for him and we send him solo on a plane to family members on the east coast for a couple weeks and he has a blast without us.
  2. Is this the new Billy and April thread?
  3. Talked with my 12 year old about it last month when all the walkouts were happening. Told him if he believes in something and knows the issue then I don't have a problem with it and will support him, even if I disagree with him on the issue. Told him that he also needs to be aware of the consequences and accept them fully(unexcused absence, 0 on a grade, suspension, etc...). I did tell him that I will get pissed is if he does it and is fucking around and not taking it seriously. He then looked at me and said "Yeah, because if you are fucking around then you make the issue trivial and observers don't think the issue is a big deal". Guess I have done something right, or maybe that was his mom? (no pics)
  4. Yep, not every plane that Southwest flies is the same model.
  5. Goldmine for Video Games
  6. Holy shit. Reports of a women being partially sucked out of the plane when it depressurized, but that passengers pulled her back in.
  7. Loved Night Court. RIP Harry
  8. I thought this was the funny pic thread
  9. It was back up last night with much rejoicing from my 12 yr old.
  10. I had so many of those action figures. Ended up selling them all and made enough to buy a NES with the robot.
  11. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Being nice to let a person cross two lanes of traffic is being an asshole to the 100 other drivers behind you. Because you let one person cross while traffic should be flowing you just had a bunch of cars not pass through a light 15 yds back and traffic starts to back up. I'm now furious just thinking about it.
  12. My son finally got me to play this weekend, it is fun, but no kills for me and anytime I engaged someone I was quick work. I enjoy watching him play more since he is better and it is fun working on strategy with him while he is playing.
  13. How does it work for returning a whole damn mattress? Does someone come to your house and pack it up?
  14. Can we get a way to help you guys out monetarily like on the old site? Monthly or yearly? Just want to make sure you guys aren't taking a beating on the cost of hosting all us assholes. If not needed or desired delete thread.
  15. Sounds like you need the assistance of a realtor
  16. Then how will we get coaches to make fun of?
  17. I used direct link and it still doesn’t work.
  18. Somebody tell this clown he doesn't have to hit it from there.
  19. Pic in a lulz thread is working, but the pics in a Food and Travel thread are not.
  20. If this is the case why are some showing up and not others? I have one from yesterday still working, but 3 from last week that are not. Doesn't seem consistent enough for a hotlinking ban to Surly.
  21. Possibly the thread outside of NSAA that wasted more time than any other. We got updates for a year or two after, but I don't remember what happen last.
  22. Wasn't there a bond package 20ish years ago to fix the Y intersection with an overpass? I vaguely remember something like that, but the Oak Hill residents fought it and won out. Now they are begging for one. There used to be a strip of stores right after William Cannon all the way to the Y.
  23. Great post on HF. I shared it with everyone I could think of back then. Yes, he died about 6 years ago. Yes he was an attorney. Yes he was a DB in real life.
