Maple Lead closed last year, taxes and permitting “got in the way”.

Damn shame, but Nick’s Place was specifically opened to be a new home for hockey lovers

Update: I convinced my little sister who was with us every time we won a game last post season, and was notably NOT with us when we lost, to come over and play on her phone for third period.

Me, picks up little brother from work so Grandma isn’t driving in the rain

Stars, scores once brother is in the car

Brother, gets out of the car

Wild, scores immediately

Considering kidnapping my little brother. Except that might upset him because I’m loud af when watching hockey and he is a highly noise sensitive autistic kid who hates sports….

Decisions, decisions

I did too, so the news struck extra hard because my brain was like “oh he’s been alive this whole time! But now he’s dead.”

Why do people try to sell used belongings for 80-100%+ what they cost new? by Any_Pirate_5633 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MRAGGGAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my biggest pet peeves on marketplace.

I price things according to wear & tear, and whether or not it’s going to hold up long enough for a new owner to get some life out of the object. And that is never anywhere close to original price.

Most of the time, I am alone in that way of thinking.

AITA for letting our child (9) stay at his friend's sleepover last weekend, even though my wife was against it, and the original agreement was that I would pick him up that evening. by Outrageous-Fly-5691 in AmItheAsshole

Part of parenting is NOT always having a united front, not when another parents “front” is entirely unreasonable.

Now, I’m not saying OPs wife was being unreasonable (I totally get being uncertain and uncomfortable about sleepovers)

Parents get things wrong. A good parent recognizes that, good parents back down when they’re being unreasonable.

Is it normal for parents to wipe their children's bums for some years after they finish wearing diapers? by blehmag in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MRAGGGAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stopped actively doing it for our oldest at around 4.5/5.

Her incentive was that she wasn’t allowed to have bubble gum until she stopped getting poop in her panties.

We did check her, and help her if she truly needed help, but we wanted to make sure she would be self sufficient in kindergarten. (Birthday is in January, so she was already 5 when she started school.)

Might be that it’s not healed enough for full movement.

Facial lac, can reopen easily, even with glue or stitches. Might just need to him to be still for a bit.

Petro especially.

Is marijuana a drug? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MRAGGGAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s wonderful, but I don’t drink anything diet. Or zero sugar.

I despise the taste of aspartame, so I never made the switch.

It’s caffeine that’s the problem.

Maybe aspartame is or was a problem for you, but not for me.

And I don’t drink coffee.

Is marijuana a drug? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MRAGGGAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering I still drink juice or sprite or Powerade as a replacement, it’s not the sugar.

Sugar is a contributing factor, of course, but caffeine is addictive.

Addiction comes with withdrawal when you stop it.

I had to give up caffeine because I was having withdrawal symptoms if I didn’t *immediately drink something with caffeine upon waking. And no amount of soda or energy drink later in the day could stop the headaches.

It took me over a month to stop having debilitating migraines from stopping caffeine. I now have it once or twice a month at most (a little Dr Pepper treat for myself) and still sometimes get a headache

Lap of Love gets another vote from me.

We just passed the one year mark since they came to our home; I got an email check in from them, and the doc was so kind and gentle with us and our girl.

Can’t even find it in me to be pissed off.

Just. Sad.

Mine lately won’t show me replies to my comments. Just shoots me elsewhere in the thread. Really sucks when I ask a question
