I honestly have no idea which one it was. I wish I did, since I moved up here a lot of people have asked me which one it was.I may be mistaken but I believe that this club of which you speak may be across the street from my office.

Oooooo..... there is a 6 week project coming up in Des Moines on my team. Might be able to steal that one
I think that it is pretty likely that it is a place that sorta rhymes with Nick's Chevrolet. It is near the site of the former Metrodome and has a "novelty" store around the corner which could have formerly been a book store. I wish I had a more interesting story about why I know this but the fact is that it is just right across the street from where I work. Also, I may have been there about 20 years ago. Maybe. And it may have been called Buns and Roses at the time which is a name you don't easily forget.I honestly have no idea which one it was.

I'm trying to cut down on eating out because of the calories involved. But I only have a microwave and a minifridge at this particular hotel. What are some ideas on stuff to eat/prepare?

Lol thanks, that is the one my old roommate up here thought it was, don't want to go there, but it will add to the story.I think that it is pretty likely that it is a place that sorta rhymes with Nick's Chevrolet.

Damn, hotels in California are expensive
Is the practice team practice, or practice on her own? Because if it's team practice I agree that you want to teach commitment, and not to let your teammates down. I do think that's an important skill. If it's practice on her own and she's already practicing more than the other kids that's obviously different. And I think you're doing it right by keeping the focus on the fun aspect. I think the problem comes when parents get too invested in their kid being the best or the focus shifts from the kid enjoying it. Full disclosure: I'm not a parent and have always sucked at sports.First World Problems: parent version (apologies for the long post)
00 posted something the other day that struck home a bit. He mentioned hearing the neighbor talking to his kid about not wanting to pay for his kid's softball if she wasn't going to try. It sounded harsh, but it got me thinking.
Youth sports used to be designed to allow kids to have fun, exercise, and learn the sport. Anymore, they are so competitive that unless you get your kid in something early, they are already behind other kids, unless your kid is just really athletically gifted and catches on quick.
There are rec options out there, but once kids reach a level to try out for their school teams, I'd bet a good chunk of those kids miss out on making their school teams. No stats to back that up, just my guess. I have two nephews recently try out for their high school soccer teams. The club nephew made it, the rec nephew missed.
I know there's a balance that's needed and so many parents go over the top projecting themselves on their kids. However, what about the parents that want their kid to have the opportunity to go farther in a sport? When do you push and when do you stop?
There's been times when my daughter says, "Can we just skip practice today?" I want to say "Sure" because she practices twice a week and then has games on weekends. It seems like a lot for her age. But then I feel like I'd be doing her a disservice by not teaching her to follow thru with committing to a team. I know if I cave in once, I'll get the "but last week, you said it was ok" argument.
I constantly ask her if she has fun and she says yes. I tell her that if at any time it stops being fun, I want her to tell me. She keeps insisting that she loves it, even stating that she wanted to change her room to soccer themed. I guess I'm looking for opinions on anyone that has gone through it with their own kids or have gone through it being the kid.
Just wait until you try and check out and leave.
I bet taxes out there are a *****. Just researching what it would cost to follow the Brewers to the west coast next year. Only would need one night each in San Fran and Oakland. I have a place to stay in LA.
ok. Like I said, my experience was CC, and in that top seven run varsity and everyone else would run jv. And I also went to DM Hoover, so they needed as many kids on the football team as they could get. I guess the only sports I could see it in would be basketball and soccer, but even then not really.Woo: I think the larger metro areas do have tryouts.
