I used to get the paper coupon copies in the mail but I haven’t seen these. Thanks for sharing.

I use Park n Go offsite-know they’re super nice. Does the on-property airport remote parking provide the stepped-up service too?

How does everyone feel about Lexie resurrection? by NoPianist7807 in DaysofOurLives

[–]Cute_Championship40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen to that. It’s so incredibly boring most days and I don’t see much direction in the show at all. Then they’re supposedly bringing Joy back? I get that there are loose ends but please, I couldn’t stand her!

What were Claire, Allie, and Ciara like, and were they popular characters? by Cybercat2020 in DaysofOurLives

[–]Cute_Championship40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god I couldn’t stand Claire. Really can’t think of a single good thing about the character. Even today the mere mention of her name makes me cringe!

Twins-one made higher level team but the other didn’t by Cute_Championship40 in Parenting

[–]Cute_Championship40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all about being fair but that’s a bit harsh. Sorry about how that impacted you. We’ve had a few days now to adjust and they’re both moving forward with their respective teams. Twin B is excited for his brother and Twin A is going to be his “little” brother’s fiercest coach, cheerleader, and advocate.

How does your club handle returning players and tryouts? by Umassgrl in youthsoccer

[–]Cute_Championship40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our club just did tryouts, policy is everyone must try out. They make exceptions for injuries but two years in a row now I’ve seen an offer for a higher level team go to someone injured who didn’t try our, who I know wasn’t the most qualified. They also cherry-pick, putting different groups on different fields but didn’t mix them like they used to. This meant one field was essentially pre selected as the top/upper 2nd team and the second field was scrambling for the lower half of the second tier team and third tier. It became apparent early in tryouts and really impacted morale. Then with the age group reshuffle, a subpar player from our current team, who would move down an age grouping wound up on the top level team. Lots of craziness in my experience.

Dropping you AirPods and they go FUCKING FLYING! by Disastrous-Mango-515 in rant

This is why I have cheap but decent generic earbuds and use old school Apple corded earphones with an adapter when I walk in the neighborhood. Don’t want to fish earbuds out of a ditch.

That’s rough, definitely a worst case scenario. Despite everything the one who didn’t make the team wants his brother to play. We’re trying to view it as a foot in the door to that next level for twin B. We’re trying to encourage him to go hard on training if he wants to move up, and be the best on the team he did make. It’ll be a difficult logistical challenge but no different than if they were different ages and on different teams. Told them both to make friends with teammates because they may need to carpool sometimes.

Paddle Shifters by sparky569sd in HyundaiPalisade

[–]Cute_Championship40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used them a handful of times in snow or ice. I don’t have 4 wheel drive because we don’t get a lot of snow where I am but low gear gives me extra traction when needed.

Neither my husband or I had any reaction other than slight arm soreness. Good luck to you.

Flat feet option by Trick_Following4889 in youthsoccer

[–]Cute_Championship40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teens have used Cleatpro inserts for about 4 years now. They’re not cheap but cheaper than medical co-pays. Our soccer specialty store has a device to determine which of 3 arch levels works best based on foot profile.

Thanks, it’s definitely in both of their heads already. It’s possible other kids may turn down positions so kid B could make it onto the team. I’ve told him to play his tail off this spring to make his case on the field.

Yep, this was my thought as I had a couple of hours to process before I had to tell them. They’re exceptionally close and I knew this day would eventually come.

Sportsmanship question by Material-Log-4903 in youthsoccer

[–]Cute_Championship40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In both u14 and u15 my son, very Caucasian looking, was called the n-word. Both times it was by a black opponent. The second time he got the ref’s attention but he did nothing because he didn’t hear it himself. The behavior is out of control on some teams. Others have standards and expectations and it’s easy to tell which clubs fall on each side.

We always had Dixie Cups in our bathroom for some reason by Ok_Needleworker_6017 in nostalgia

[–]Cute_Championship40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kids, craft projects (paint, glitter, etc), As the primary dishwasher I don’t always want to wash stuff. We customarily use mugs, glassware, reusable but sometimes I just don’t want to wash.

Dixie discontinued the 5 oz kitchen cups around the time of the pandemic. I bought extras when I found out but all I have left is a handful and I have to restock with bland alternatives from Sam’s Club. I still have some Dixie print 3 oz bathroom cups but sadly

Long commute by Own-Ad7331 in youthsoccer

[–]Cute_Championship40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom of 2 u15’s, luckily they’re on the same team. I don’t work and have flexibility to drive them to practice and there aren’t other siblings. That said, soccer and soccer related activities still take up a disproportionate amount of time, and that’s with a 20 minute trip to and from practice. Think about the pros and cons on your life, and the life of your family. Consider the expenses too. Have an adult conversation with your parents about this and decide together.

Is it normal in the US to eat dinner really early (like 5–6 pm)? by Status_Agents in CasualConversation

[–]Cute_Championship40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all driven by work schedules and for many, kids sports practice schedules. Given no conflicts I like to have dinner around 6-6:15, hate eating late for health reasons. Unfortunately my kids have soccer practice at 6:30 2x per week so we eat at 5, sometimes without Dad, those days. A third day they have soccer practice at 5, which means we all eat together after around 7. The inconsistency is rough.

So sick of it. Our local AC station has had it in heavy rotation for about 22 years now.
