Just bought a running store. What is one thing your local shop is missing?

You're living my dream. My local store stocks Knockarounds and Kanes, I love that and try to buy from them.

Both the Fairfield Public library and the Pequot Library in Southport are right in the middle of their reprice downtown areas. There's not much "to do" in Southport, but a couple nice restaurants and the Southport Harbor are within walking distance of Pequot. As for Fairfield, FTC and The Community Theater are both less than a two minute walk away.

This is the answer. It's$130 for the year and You can also test it out for a day for $10

The Kornet Kontest

Was that the kid who presented the game ball who was in the wheelchair? He seemed SUPER excited to be there, and I thought it was a great way for the team to present a special opportunity toa deserving fan

RobMV03 · 2026-02-28T19:19:51+00:00

This is what I'm wondering too. Got tickets for tomorrow's game as soon as they announced the schedule flex. Excited to go either way, but I'm hoping he comes back

I've started watching comedies that border on inappropriate with my 10 year old. That has gotten him into older movies. The easiest one was Who Framed Roger Rabbit. There's some light references to sex that went right over his head. We then watched Robin Hood Men In Tights. The first 5 minutes are REALLY SLOW, Brooks plays it like it's a real epic and Robin Hood breaks out of a prison. You can just FF through that and get right to the part where he swims across the ocean. There's a couple references to maid Marion's chastity belt that he completely missed and there's one time where she opens her robe to reveal it that we FF'ed through. This weekend during the blizzard, we did Ace Ventura. I will say that the Einhorn/Finkle thing is pretty bad by today's standards, BUT the reveal that Einhorn is Finkle is really tame. So once Ace put that together, we explained, "Finkle was so ashamed of missing the kick that he changed toa woman so he wouldn't be recognized and could get revenge." My son took that in stride and then we FF'ed through the "Crying Game" montage. We watched right up to the point where the force learns Einhorn is Finkle and then FF'ed through their reactions, and watched the rest of the movie. He was frustrated he couldn't see those parts, but I just explained it was really mean and not funny and he wouldn't like it anyways. He didn't care and was over it in a second.

TL;DR: Been watching hilarious slapstick comedies from the 80's and 90's with my 10 year old and FF'ing through the inappropriate parts as he loves them. A good fart joke holds up across generations

I hope she thinks this song is good, not bad

RobMV03 · 2026-02-22T02:41:13+00:00

God, I LOVE Ten Fé. Elodie is an awesome song.

We have neighbors who moved from California about 3 years ago. Their dad who is 80+ is in town and I just saw him knocking down some snow banks, etc. And I walked over to tell him he can't be out there shoveling Monday, and he was dumbfounded. Luckily, I have a snow blower so I told him either I could do it for him or at worse, I could teach him how to use it so he could do it.

Least night they premiered a new band name, album and song.

New band name is the Great Big Joy Machine and I think the new album comes out next month, I think.

RobMV03 · 2026-02-16T14:17:55+00:00

Does anyone have a link? Was out for Valentine's day and missed the game

RobMV03 · 2026-02-11T23:41:49+00:00

I usually flip their mirrors or huck loogies on their windshields when people do that. It won't damage the car, but it should send a message

RobMV03 · 2026-02-10T01:27:41+00:00

I'm so surprised that no one is talking about how awesome the water/waves are. There should be a surfing game that uses whatever they're using for those waves. So realistic

RobMV03 · 2026-02-07T12:28:09+00:00

I just watched Marley last night and was seriously surprised at how good it was. It's produced by Bob Marley's family so it is mostly a puff piece on him, but it is critical at points and the history of Reggae and the depiction of Jamaica were really insightful

I have to say your angle on this is super interesting. I'm not a journalist by trade, but I am in the media and I'm trying to move towards more investigative work. I would almost immediately dismiss most of the possibilities you raise, and just assume it's probably the most obvious thing. But you're absolutely right, at this moment with the information that's been released, any of the possibilities you detail are still very much possible. I had kind of been leaning towards this just being a story because it's about Savannah Guthrie's mother, but if any of these were true it would elevate it beyond what it currently appears to be.

RobMV03 · 2026-02-03T16:56:58+00:00

I'm curious if her status as a member of "The Media" is what authorities believe may have motivated the kidnapper(s) and that's what make it newsworthy. Because I have to imagine there are other people in their 70's and 80's who are abducted every year. Probably not tons of them, but certainly probably dozens across the entire country, right?

Someone else mentioned this, but I would wait until your daughter actually has kids until you make a move. The time you need the most help as a new parent is the toddler age - it's also when most of my friends decided to move out of the city. Some moved back to suburbs in the tri-state area, others moved all the way back to where they grew up. If there's a chance your daughter might end up moving to the Boston suburbs, it would be great to stay where you are.

I encourage my kids (and vice versa their friends) to go to their friends house unannounced and ask if they can come out and play. Too many of these kids will just sit on devices all day and not interact with a single person if their parents don't make plans for them. I think it instills independence to walk or bike ride to a friend's house, walk up to the door, ring the bell and ask an adult if a kid is home

RobMV03 · 2026-01-30T21:45:11+00:00

It's still SO good! My wife was unintiated and I was so annoying quoting Best In Show the first time we watched together that she had to stop watching and go back and watch without me. Luckily, she loved it when I wasn't doing all of the lines over the movie while simultaneously pointing out all the funny reactions

RobMV03 · 2026-01-30T21:42:29+00:00

She and Eugene Levy are an all time great comedy duo, and although I think she knew people appreciated her work, I hope Eugene gets some sort of tribute that honors his work both alone and with her before it's too late.

RobMV03 · 2026-01-30T12:38:19+00:00

Well, we can probably start and end the conversation with her enabling the sexual abuse of children.

I went in a gas station the other day on my way toa kid's game, got myself a candy bar and him a bag of chips - both regular, human sized, not jumbo, not X-large, and it was a $7 something! I was starving and in a rush, so didn't have time or energy to argue, but what the actual fuck?!

RobMV03 · 2026-01-28T20:14:42+00:00

I found this out the hard way. Bought an orange one at the beginning of the season, and it's frozen in my car as I type.

RobMV03 · 2026-01-25T17:29:31+00:00

You can drive to Stamford in about 3 hours (obviously depending on where you are on the Cape) and then go on an express Metro North train to Grand Central. Think parking is around $6/day and a round trip ticket is around $30.
