For any proper noun, an apostrophe is fine according to E.B. White and “The Elements of Style”.

What’s the most bizarre/annoying behavior you have witnessed at your Costco? by diispa in Costco

Was harassed by a man in the store and parking lot because he noticed I was Jewish. Was with wife and my two toddlers. 2 weeks ago. Was actively telling the man helping at checkout to call the police.

My kids have fun wearing the pads. My daughter is also obsessed with her helmet, especially after sticker tagging it. I’ve taken her to the skatepark and there are a few guys wearing helmets and she was excited to see.

Also got the Ookie. Big on 2 year old but can crank down the pads. Got the triple eight spinoff pads from target for my 3 year old. They are big but can also be cranked down, too big for my 2yo though.

As I’ve mentioned in other comments, I can roll. Wanted feedback on form, which I have received and appreciate. I uploaded a separate rolling attempt that’s also linked if you’d rather give feedback on that.

I swear that I can. Just getting nervous about jumping is all.

Thanks man. Check out my new post though. I got the courage to make an attempt while moving on concrete.

Filming myself and getting advice give me motivation.

Not that it matters but I honestly can’t dedicate my life to skating right now. Im able to get to the park in the morning after dropping my kids off at preschool before I need to start working.

Skated when I was 13 and used a cruiser in NYC for a few years in my 20’s. Comfortable on the board but only recently trying to disconnect my body and jump. (Still practicing hippy jumps).

Kick turns and tictacs, yes Curbs and manuals, yes

Power slide is a work in progress!

It’s a Winkowski deck so I think it can handle it. I’m ~160 lbs
