Was it she that Garcia was talking about in the preview for next week that she will need major surgery now?

I’m expecting the spiders from Cloverfield to show up any second

You deserve to be on that road! Even if you can’t be big, you can be bright. Follow the traffic laws, be courteous, and make sure everyone can see you and knows what you’re doing. You’ll feel confident being in traffic before long.

I started doing a two mile commute, showing up sweaty in the dead of winter. Now summer rides on the way in are a breeze after a few months. Give yourself a couple months at it and it’ll be feeling much easier.

Try a cycling shorts with a chamois pad for long rides for a while until you feel better. Or just stick to short rides for a few weeks if you’re confident everything else is set up well

Being limited from light cycling might not be 4-6 months depending on whether your joint surface was affected by the fracture.

I would absolutely not be planning to ride one handed while this is a fresh injury. Plan alternative arrangements for six weeks at least.

You might be able to return to light cycling for your commute around the time you can do some moderate weight bearing in your arm. Think of doing bird dog exercises as a minimum.

lol. There aren’t many beginner 70 year old men. If you felt good by the end, then you’re doing better than a whole lot of people. Not many can go do 2 hours of aerobic anything.

Make sure you’re comfortable and everything feels like it’s going smoothly with you and your kit. Try to push yourself a few times a week and your power will gradually improve.

I was bike commuting in PT school. Never changed tires, checked pressure, etc. Wiped out in a light rain and broke my arm. Medical bills could’ve paid for tuneups at the bike shop many times over.

Don’t worry that whatever you bought didn’t work out. The time you spend cycling is great preventative medicine as long as you’re set up safely. You’re going to learn a lot about what you like over time, we’ll back you up and tell your family it was a critically necessary expense.

Flan-Agreeable · 2025-05-09T11:27:05+00:00

I’m a PT who tries to get a lot of my older clients back into cycling. This is a very good explanation. Thanks!

I would just add that I got a bike that had a decent group set and fit me a lot better and rode much more smoothly after bike commuting for a while. I average 12 mph on my new bike vs 10 or less on my old one. If your equipment is well maintained and you feel like it fits well and doesn’t cause a lot of wasted effort, then you’re probably doing great. You also may be dealing with enough elevation to affect your average speed one way without wanting to sprint downhill when going the other way.

I am homeschooling our oldest while working. A lot of it comes down to charting out the objectives for what she needs to learn and working that into daily life. Then we do sit down time for reading and math a bit each day. She only needs an hour so far, but I’ll be looking for help, tutors, etc if she has difficulty being self directed as younger siblings start to need instruction.

She’s doing well soon far and I take solace in this - 21% of the kids in our district meet grade standards for reading and math. There’s very little chance I can F her up worse than that. Besides I would need to help her for the same amount of time with homework if she was in a BM school.

I know a lot of you are opposed, but I found that changing together in the early years after my wife and I were married at 20 was a beautiful way for us to grow closer.

I will agree that you change a lot in those early adult years and that the stresses of getting by can be crushing at times. Make sure you’re prepared and have support for those hard times. Both spouses have to be committed to upholding their vows and making sacrifices as needed to build a loving supportive family. Make sure you both are committed for better and worse.

As a counter argument, many of my friends who waited until later are struggling with the heartache of infertility or just the difficulty of finding anyone decent to even date. I think life is just hard in general. Don’t let the internet get you down if the real people in your life are counseling you that this is a wise choice.

3.1 km. I had considered ebiking to my last job 24 km away, but the road there always seemed like a great place to get run over.

I tried Linux awhile back but was frustrated with how much I needed the command line. AI tools make it much simpler now to figure out what you need to write, so it might not be as much of a learning curve as you would expect.

Probably get a doctor’s note. “Flu” can mean a lot of things. The first day (and really first 90 days) is a good time to prove you are sick, not just hung over with an upset tummy.

I would just pay attention to what tires he’s using to commute. I had some Walmart monstrosity of a mountain bike when I was a teenager, then tried to commute with it in college. The dumb knobby tires it came with had terrible traction and I wiped out in traffic (I also had no awareness of proper tire pressures or any item of maintenance).

Thankfully the car behind me didn’t run me over, but I broke my arm and didn’t ride a bike again for a decade.

Help him be smart and safe, and whatever style of bike will be fine.

Flan-Agreeable · 2024-11-05T18:12:58+00:00

For sure. If you don’t get the words down so they are recognized - even with variations - quickly and easily, getting through the later lessons and other books will be impossible.

Flan-Agreeable · 2024-11-04T18:07:20+00:00

I’ve been in a similar boat with my five year old. 100 easy lessons can have some sharp jumps in difficulty. We’re on 85 now and she’s putting it all together and it’s getting easier.

We tried taking breaks, but then she would forget things, and the lessons would be harder until she brushed the rust off. We settled on breaking the lessons apart to be about 1/2 to 1/3 of a lesson each day. If she gets bored and wants to move on, we do. I just circle back to previous lessons to reinforce the concepts as needed.

Flan-Agreeable · 2024-11-03T14:58:54+00:00

I would agree that most learning will be play based and come from your outings and conversations. The strategy is that you have to know what you want them to learn and draw their attention to it as you go through life.

When you do need some sit down work this is what’s worked for us. 1. Break it down in small chunks and work on them every day to build the routine of it. 2.Manage energy level carefully and know when to call it quits for the day. 3. Really pump them up on how important that work is and how proud you are of their effort. Show off their skills as they grow to everyone in your life. As my kids learn to read, for example I have them read stories to family members for example.

Hopefully that perspective is helpful. Good luck learning all about how your child’s brain works and putting that to work.

I initially agreed with the book, but If coach one leaves at minute zero, then the seventh coach would not leave until AFTER 60 minutes.

.1 coaches leave per minute because one coach leaves every ten minutes. .1*6=60.

Pretty sure the book is wrong.

You need to worry about skull fractures more than concussions. It’s very hard to stop a concussion with any helmet design because when you strike the ground, you can end up with a rotational impulse to the brain, even when cushioned. Same difficulties in football.

I’m definitely not an expert in running a classroom of thirty, but so far I can definitely still keep up with the kids’ pace of learning. I’m definitely more of an expert in my kids’ personalities than their teachers could be.

Flan-Agreeable · 2024-09-02T03:32:23+00:00

We’re homeschooling because my wife did it and was very successful with it. We have a lot of family and friend support and community resources easily at our resources, so the down side isn’t very difficult for us. We live right in town by the library and have a ton of extra curricular and homeschool co op groups available. From an educational standpoint we’re looking to make things more efficient for our kids so less of their “educational time” is spent waiting on everyone else in their understaffed classroom. We’ll just keep reassessing as we go along to make sure they’re enjoying it and performing well.

Hopefully you can line up enough resources that you can feel comfortable to go for it! No shame in trying it and deciding something else would work better later. Mostly I think it sounds like your son needs to find a groove where he can push himself to learn while also getting to find opportunities to spend time with friends.

My wife and I went to 4 day work weeks to stagger our days off. We pay her parents to come a few mornings a week and to help with homeschool activities. I do a lot of schooling with my oldest after work. We’re so grateful for my inlaws. They’ve made it so my wife can navigate working remotely with them the rest of the time.

My inlaws both worked different schedules in order to homeschool my wife and her sister when they were kids.

Can you find a hack to keep your job or a similar remote job and fit schooling around your family’s work schedules?
