Adversity is good for kids imo. That being said, the every weekend having a tournament champion is the issue.

I Just think sports should culminate to something more than just a Saturday and Sunday where you will just do it all again next Saturday and Sunday.

This is a good conversation. The police escort for a funeral is not a necessary thing. People can easily get from point A to point B safely in their vehicles. I understand it’s probably a nice fringe benefit for the police officer though to earn some extra cash.

Motorcycle riding is so dangerous bc you are totally exposed with essentially no protection if an accident occurs as opposed to someone driving a car/truck/Suv who has the shell of the vehicle to protect them.

Well yeah but the point of this is it really necessary to block traffic and put a motorcycle officer in an exposed position for a non-emergency situation? The point is that a motorcycle escort is not necessary for people to get safely from the funeral home/church to grave sight in their vehicles. Also expediting the voyage isn’t necessary as well.

Maybe if you are going to do it utilize a standard patrol car instead of a motorcycle bc at least a patrol car provides the officer an order of magnitude more protection than a motorcycle (obviously this would logistically be more difficult).
I know this is slightly off topic but I think there are external factors that are causing kids to hit puberty much faster. I think chemicals in processed foods is probably the biggest catalyst bc in my experience many of the very tall kids at a young age are also overweight/obese.

I saw the Canadians were saying something about everyone knows who the better team was. Well it was pretty clear who the best player on the ice was yesterday and he was the dude in between the pipes for the United States!
If your are interested in homeschooling then you should look into the local homeschool communities in your area (this may take a little investigation on your part). Good news is that plenty of curriculums are very readily available online for you to choose from to fit your child. Also there are more homeschool communities then you may think so i wouldnt be as concerned with the socialization aspect plus there are team sports, scouts, etc that are always available and provide some of the best socialization any way. There are also homeschool hybrids out there as well (traditional schooling a few days a week and homeschool a couple days).

I will say that being parent and also teacher is hard work and it is time consuming but you also know that the person teaching your child has an actual physical bond to the student instead of just being another number in the crowd.
NIL. I believe there is big money family(s) in the area who are also big tennis people. Also the coaches for both are really top notch. NIL gets the talent and coaching develops them. WIN WIN!

If anything the criticism should be giving him that nickname after 1 game against Milwaukee to start the season

I only want cups really. That's all I go for. Like many locally my cupboard is full of Mardi gras cups. I guess at least no one throws snap beads anymore.


I agree those are also of value. I like letting my kids have a bit of freedom to kind of run around with their friends for throws. Imo that’s MG from my childhood. Honestly they also seem to enjoy that and aren’t fans of being restrained to a boxed in area.

Agents hired before the bill will not get paid and operations will be shut down if the government shuts down.


Is it confirmed that operations will be shut down? Depending on how the federal agents are classified, they may still be required to work even if they are not paid until the shutdown is resolved.

Metairie parades are great if you want to catch recycled beads and see rental floats built for other Krews


I’m sorry are recycled beads and trinkets worth a lot less than new bought beads and trinkets?
This is why we go to Metairie parades. Follow parade tracker app. Leave house about 1/2 hr before the parade will arrive where we plan to view it. Drive a few mins and park a few blocks away. Watch parade and kids catch plenty of stuff. Mad Hatters parade actually throws toothbrushes and toothpaste which is great. Leave when parade is over and be home in less than 15 minutes with a years supply of dental hygiene products.
I think the language barrier ended up being the biggest deal. I think there is a decent probability that non political people or even left leaning people were turned off by it bc they couldn’t understand what was being conveyed.

Can you point out what particulary is "extreme"? Federal law enforcement agents attempting to enforce federal laws while being targeted by state authorities and violent communist rioters is extreme?


I’ll say it’s being framed as extreme and it’s probably more extreme response than an administration has ever done but not by much (media framing it as extreme doesn’t help) but to my understanding it is still totally within legal authority. Imo it is not as extreme as what previous admin did. I also believe what previous administration did was unlawful (at a minimum doing nothing was unlawful).
Let’s be honest, Biden administration did nothing to stop illegal immigration (I don’t think that point can even be argued) and probably was actively encouraging it to potentially increase their political power via demographic changes to help affect congressional seats and add voters if they could figure out how to get them on the voter rolls.

Trump administration clearly stopped illegal immigration which was pretty easy to do if an administration actually tried to do it. Now they are at the point of removing all the people that the Biden administration just let in (or encouraged to come in). Do I think Biden was recruiting many of the bad players that came along? Not necessarily but I also think the central/South America countries saw the opportunity and really weren’t worried that those undesirables left their country.

Is countering an extreme with an extreme the right philosophy? I don’t know how else you respond. The optics were always going to be bad for the Rs bc they had to be the bad guy parents telling their kids no after grandma/grandpa gave the kids candy and unlimited TV while they were at their house.
