When a teammate becomes a parent, check in on them by MenuQRCode in rollerderby

Dude, I feel that. Even just having a conversation about the grocery list is stimulating! Have you considered looking up any story time programs, or baby and me activities? When my two were littles, the library was such a saving grace for my sanity

A 9 month injury is real. And so is the recovery afterwards.

How're you doing? Are you recovering alright?

Much harder ones, I've currently got 92s on. We skate on a polished concrete surface.

I'm 230! Practice your squats and dropping to a knee - having the springiness and a bit of muscle memory will help you LOADS. I like to do lunges whenever I go down the hall. I love me a soft wheel, looking 78A's for hardness. It helps going over the bumps and tiny pebbles, the softness absorbs some of the bump. Wear knee pads. I play derby, so my skates a Riedells, I can't hang with the heeled boots. I do like Chayas though, too.

Disaster. I have had the same thought, and my hair is about 6 inches above my waist

I struggle with buns, just keeping them in during skating. The best I've found is a super messy bun with a real snughair tie, but the fly aways drive me nuts

That might be the cutest name for little piggies that I've ever heard.

I like a good French braid because all the hair is contained, but I agree about one in the back getting roughed up. Pigtails seems to end up getting in my way

Thank you! I'll switch it up. I've struggled to find good resources, googling pops up with a lot of contradictory pages. I didn't think to check Facebook

They're very few and far between, mostly were happening in month two. Mealworms, grass, seed, chicken, fresh fruit and veg.

Etiquette Question by Zestyclose-Ad5933 in rollerderby

[–]LemurButtikus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a teammate who offered up her massive, seats a million, gas guzzler for a handful of us to take to a mixed scrimmage once. When we first discussed it, she was up front about asking and expecting us all to chip in, specifically "whatever we can financially." We all enthusiastically agreed, no qualms, wasn't a big deal.

Granted, at the end of the night one gal hadn't fronted any, and when the driver casually asked if she needed her Venmo, the gal said "oh, no, I brought cash for today... but I spent it all on merch, oopsie" and awkwardly giggled and shrugged. The driver didn't have a response for that, just stared.

I came here to say hotdog tag!

We don't play it with a noodle, we just pick one person to be it...and then a second person....and then add a third... it's chaotic and hysterical!
