  1. Yeah, it's super unreasonable to want your boyfriend to say nice things to and about you.
  2. Thank you! I ended up getting the Klymit for me and the Freelands for the kids. Inflated both for a test run before we leave this weekend, and wow, the difference in comfort is substantial. Can't wait to use it for real. Thanks again for the rec.
  3. I don't think we can be friends.
  4. I don't know how you people live like this.
  5. Thank you both! I may get the Klymit one for me and get the other one for the kids.
  6. I'm taking my two kids (7- and 10-yo boys) camping with the Cub Scouts next weekend. I want to get a self-inflating sleeping pad - has anyone used this one? Or have any others to recommend? We'll be car camping at Lake Georgetown and the weather shouldn't be crazy cold or hot, but I do want to get into backpacking soon so it would be nice if the pad I got would work for backpacking.
  7. Matt Walsh is an asshole on many, many counts. This is just one more piece of evidence to that point.
  8. Mystery surrounds humpback whale found dead in depths of Brazil’s Amazon jungle
  9. Holy shit, $23 for 3 of them? I get mine at the TJ Maxx on Great Hills for $3-4 each, depending on the size. The exact same ones at your link.
  10. I just picked up a couple more today. I swear these two are just playing despite this looking like the cover of Cujo Returns With a Friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Elizabeth McGreevy probably laughs when puppies die.
  12. I'm pretty sure this guy was a character in O Brother, Where Art Thou?
  13. Am I having deja vu or didn't this happen a few years ago? Or maybe that was another family.
  14. I will give Mikey that Marlon Bundo is, as John Oliver put it, an objectively good name for a rabbit.
  15. Took the baby to a puppy party at Hearts and Paws last weekend. Now, I give you two minutes of puppies playing - be sure to watch out for the sneak attack around the 29s mark.
  16. Can't embed but this dog on the agility course at Westminster is hilarious. All of Winky's sides are her good sides.
  17. I've always hated shopping because of the aforementioned bullshit. Now 90% of my wardrobe comes from Stitch Fix (they have men's clothes now btw) and I don't have to go to a store. I love living in the future.
  18. BF=boyfriend; it's a relaxed cut. Rockstar is a super tight skinny cut.
  19. I've had different sizes in different COLORS of the same exact item. Old Navy is the worst about that, although I do like their clothes in general.
  20. I got those at TJ Maxx, of all places, as Christmas gifts for the other dogs in the family. Was never planning to give them to Edgar because he can destroy things of that caliber in less than 10 minutes. We forgot to bring them when we visited family and I came across them in after we got Rocket. How old was she when you took these? We're not sure when Rocket was born - there's a 4 week discrepancy between when the first shelter said he was born to when AHS said he was born and I"m trying to get a better idea of his age to gauge training expectations and whatnot.
  21. Haven't read all the responses but this was me. High school physics was the first time complex math made sense to me. It was because I wasn't doing math just to do it - it was math with a purpose. I always want to know the "why" behind what I'm doing, and my math teachers were of the "just because you have to learn it" mentality. Math made sense when it was part of a bigger picture, not the picture itself. I admit that I don't always understand how my 5th grader has been taught to do something, and I find it frustrating, but when we figure it out I usually find that he's learning the number sense approach, which I never learned in school. My husband gets it right off the bat, though, and I suspect it's because he was like a lot of you and figured out the number sense part on his own. Whatever we call it, I'm happy with any method that helps my kids internalize and understand the work.
  22. There was a Q&A this morning and my friend told me it "got heated." Lots of parents angry about him leaving. But the general impression of the new principal is good so far.
  23. Yes, Rocket is the baby and every. single. thing. he. does. is cute. Tries to lick his balls? Gets unbalanced and falls over. Tries to walk in a straight line? No go - puppy uncoordination FTW. Naps on Edgar's dog bed? Last time he did it he rolled over in his sleep and fell off the bed. I mean come on. Drag your husband to the AHS Puppy Bowl next year. I was much less worried about a puppy after we trained Edgar from the ground up. Since we have small kids I prefer getting the younger rescue dogs that don't already have ingrained bad habits, and there are so many great opportunities in Austin for puppy socialization and training and whatnot.
