Good weekend in KC. Ended up going to the game as MrsWx invited an old friend and her kids to go to the zoo with them so I decided to let them all go and have fun. This meant driving my MILs vehicle and I was quickly reminded that they generally don't buy good vehicles to begin with and then they don't maintain them. So I learned what it was like to drive something with shocks and struts in dire need of replacement.

The game was fun...sadly missed the last ISU touchdown as I was still in the concession line. I know they aren't used to people being there but come on. I spent 30 some minutes in line and ended up just getting nachos as they were out of burgers.

Kids didn't nap well so we didn't even make it to the dance portion of the wedding reception before leaving. I do have a nice little streak going now of booking brand new hotels.

Must be a big training time at Camp Dodge as we saw a ton of military convoys on 80. Also saw one of @BCClone ambulance crews doing an emergency patient transfer down to UIHC.

I hated those trips, really hated those trips. I always hammered it down when driving. Several times when going, I would bounce the driver back with the paramedic and drive myself if they were a law abiding driver. We aren't supposed to go past 10-15 over the speed limit. I knew the top end of each and usually I would get us into the one who topped at 98 so we would get there quickly. No cop stops you with lights on, no matter the speed, unless you are plain dangerous. I miss the really old ones from the 90s who could hit 110, it make the trip better.

Worst trip was one where i rode along as a restrainer, since the guy was kinda leg rubbing the female paramedic, I found a time to get her positioned away from him so she wouldn't have to endure that. He was an involuntary psych ward admit. He had to use the facilities so I gave him one of those little urinals to go. I sat there for over an hour anticipating when he would cover me with its contents. He kept giving me that look, but fortunately I stayed dry.

Dont mean to turn this political or take it down a weird path, but due to several stories, I need to say this.

Why are stupid white trash people having all these kids and such ****** parents? Been seeing a lot of stories about neglect and harm. Maggot infested diapers, leaving babies at home alone to go to the bar, murder because the kid is crying. Just pisses me off and makes me sick. Kinda wish we could prevent these people from having kids.


Unfortunately this crap has always happened, just getting uncovered better. I despise it also, but there is no test for whether you should be a parent or not, and sadly the stupid ones are too stupid to use contraceptives it seems.
 
Just wait until you have a girl.


that's what I've heard. Apparently there's a song called "I've got [alternate word for whoares, think garden tool] in different area codes" and DH will sing "I've got rolls in different area codes" when doing diaper changes.
 
Wisconsin is a solid team.

Wisconsin is a slightly above average team. They have the advantage of playing all of the teams in the Big Ten West. It’s not dissimilar at all to the old Big 12 North. How many years did Nebraska look really good only to go and get destroyed in the Big 12 Championship and then destroyed in their bowl game?

As much as I'd like to stop bad people from becoming bad parents..........I also don't want to live somewhere that says if and when I can have children. Best thing I can think is to make sure orgs like DCFS have the right funding/staffing, services are available to those struggling, and good sex ed................though on the last two, you can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink.

I thought Iowa would win the West if they beat Wisconsin. The only thing missing from their schedule was Rutgers. Just the cream from the cream puffs. No Michigan. No Ohio State. No Michigan State.

Now they will finish against a much improved Husker team. As much fun as the falling Huskers thread was they are playing much better and looking to finish strong after their cluster **** lossing streak. Iowa had some close heartbreakers, what they to finish their season is a soul crushing 3 TD loss to Nebraska. :D

Some people should not be parents, and conversely, many people who would be great parents struggle to have a baby.

Raising a child from infancy to adulthood is the most important job in the world, and we're all complete amateurs with the first one.

Iowa doesn’t play Rutgers? I thought that was their “protected rivalry?” Or maybe that’s Maryland. It’s a joke regardless.

And yes, any team that throws the ball gives Iowa fits. It’s why it frustrates me so much about our game with them, because everyone knew it and we still didn’t do it. But Scott Frost is not afraid to throw the ball. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Iowa loses to Northwestern and Nebraska.

Northwestern seems to have a knack for beating Iowa. Think over the last 10 years they might have a winning record against them.

I agree and understand, and Im not one to ever tell someone how to raise their child (for a couple reasons) but, I ha e an idea on how to "fix" this problem. Its never going to fly unfortunately and this earth will just get more ans more populated with these types of people.
