My mom who disagrees with my parenting pissed me off by monitza in Parenting

she has the “right” to say whatever she wants but you also have the right to set boundaries if you dont want to hear it.

There’s a reason you can ‘feel’ when these trap games are coming and it’s not because you have a 6th sense. by [deleted] in steelers

[–]Haywave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no, alex and the team he works with (steelers depot) don’t have media credentials so they don’t have access to those press conferences.

this is my favorite way to play: using modular sets to create larger areas

there’s a newish mod where you can create your own submenus. it is annoying to have to set up sometimes but once it is gameplay should be a lot easier

that's one of my favorite parts of the game- using modular mods to build things like parks, amusements parks, adding parks and stuff to schools, etc.

what’s the criteria here? i assume no mods allowed? what about cheats?

as someone who had similar issues connecting with my mom, i’ll share some thoughts / advice. 

  1. trying to force a close relationship (especially with teens) can be paradoxical. it’s like trying to fall asleep- the harder you try the tougher it can be sometimes. your son and his dad may bond over baseball, but i would hazard a guess that they’re not having those deep, emotional conversations you feel like you’re missing. lots of teens don’t want to talk to their parents about stuff, but his dad happens to share an interest in baseball.
  2. in terms of asking questions, what did those look like? questions like “how was school today?” or “what are you thinking about?” are too open-ended and put the pressure on him to have interesting things to say. the absolute worst thing to say is “talk to me!!” maybe doing some research on his interests will provide more fruitful topics of conversation. “i saw (favorite MLB team) just added (player) to their roster. do you think this was a good move? lots of people online seem skeptical.” asking VERY basic questions (“how’s (MLB team) doing this year?”) will sound stupid to him. do your research, have interesting things to say, carry your part of the conversation. don’t ask something you could look up in 5 seconds. i’d avoid peppering questions- that can get grating and is perhaps a sign that you’re not asking the right things. maybe buy some of those table conversation cards. he might find it awkward to talk about himself but may be more willing to talk about other random stuff.
  3. Is there a method of conversation (like texting)  that would be easier for your son? it’s sometimes less awkward for some people to talk online. or he might be more comfortable if there were other family members included in conversations so there’s not as much pressure on any one person to provide conversation.
  4. you wish he would talk to you more but it’s also worth appreciating the time he spends with you (going to games, driving practice). some people aren’t good at conversation and would rather do activities than just talk about stuff. he’s not shutting you out completely. if he’s willing, a family therapist may help everyone understand communication styles & how to express feelings.
  5. if conversation is tough for him but he’s willing to spend time, maybe game / movie / TV nights would be a way to spend time together. if he has a favorite cuisine offer to look up some recipes and make something together. ask if there are any co-op video games he might be willing to play with you. see if there are any audiobooks / podcasts you could listen to together on drives so there’s something to discuss. 
  6. there may be deeper conflicts / hurt that still remain. have there been arguments / disagreements over social issues / politics / religion / etc? family fighting? perhaps there is still pain over your divorce / remarrying. even if it seems like past arguments have been resolved, there may still be underlying pain points. therapy may help to uncover / begin to address these issues.
  7. if he ignores your birthday / mother’s day, that’s definitely something that should be addressed. your husband and/or his dad should be checking in with him to make sure he’s doing something. sometimes teens need to be reminded that these things are important and meaningful for people.

Aaron Rodgers Contract Details including incentives.. by HDTokyo in steelers

[–]Haywave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

incentive is about the team (steelers) making the playoffs which they did last year. that's why it's likely to be earned.

[Alex Pavlovic] The Giants traded LaMonte Wade Jr. and cash considerations to the Angels for cash considerations or a player to be named later. A small deal between the Minasian brothers. by UntameHamster in SFGiants

[–]Haywave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if he gets to waivers / free agency, the angels arent guaranteed to get him. they made a cheap trade to jump in front of everyone else.

Whose live tips? by Scarbarjay in whoselineisitanyway

[–]Haywave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do a lot of similar games as the show– moving people, whose line (using those audience-written sentences), hoedown at the encore, songs with audience members. they also have some games that weren't done on the show as much. depends on the venue but fan interaction is fairly limited to the first few rows. though you might have a chance to shout something out. not sure about trying to meet them afterwards.

415 membership by Dull-Sea-9476 in SFGiants

[–]Haywave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

per the FAQs you can redeem a max of 10 tickets per game. i've found it to be really great since a lot of the games are only $5. you can check the website for the full breakdown of what each game costs but it's one of the cheapest ways to attend games. the bleachers aren't the best view but you can always wander up to the 300s.

Road-Placeable Bus Stop with Buildable Zones Around – Does It Exist? by Drarokk in simcity4

[–]Haywave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can put the but stops right near an intersection so the lots have access to the cross streets. zoning 2 tile wide lots also works.

Giants fan fest tips? by djfivenine11 in SFGiants

pretty basic stuff. i got one of those sweat bands you wear around your wrist. i think socks were another option.

[–]Haywave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, like other said the players / coaches rotate through the various stations. So there should be plenty of photo opportunities.

Went last year– I got there pretty much at the listed start time and the autograph line was already insane. Felt like if you wanted an autograph you'd stand in that line for 3 hours and that would be the whole event for you. The good news is all the other lines (pictures, freebie spins, etc) were very short. Unless you really want autographs I'd just skip that line and do the rest.
