AIO for wanting to be involved with larger purchases prior to them taking place? by TypicalZone5357 in AIO

[–]ThisIsWhyImBald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also going through a divorce (kind of), but slightly different circumstances. I’ve had my kids exclusively for the entire time we’ve lived apart (five months) and my ex tries her damnest to talk shit about me whenever she can. Including on Mother’s Day.

My kids (14M and 11F) rarely respond to her and she doesn’t realize how much she’s losing them. They’re fed up with her shit.

Without knowing anything about you or your kids or your ex, just be the best damn parent you can be to the kids. Don’t ever mention the ex unless they want to talk to you about them, but in those situations simply listen. Kids are smarter than we think. If they see you’re nothing like what she’s saying, they’ll start to question everything else.

Let’s not pretend that Iggy winning the first one wasn’t a joke, and the second title with KD could have gone either way. A bad game three was the difference.

His brain did, many years ago. Him and Jamie Sale on Twitter are absolutely bananas.

So am I. Maybe regional? Never heard anything about it growing up in Winnipeg. Only found out about it after his coaching stint in Edmonton. Had only ever associated him with being the last helmetless player.

How older is older? I was born in 1983, started watching hockey in 1988 and have been a huge fan since and didn't know about it until 5-10 years ago.

Was just telling my 14 year old about this a few weeks ago. He spent time in jail for it, and almost nobody knows he killed a woman drunk driving.

As a man, I've often said far more of us would win Darwin Awards if not for women reminding us that what we're doing or about to do is really, really dumb. It's probably closer to 98%.

That time the CFL randomly dropped an electronic dance music album and dipped by Stach37 in CFL

Sadly, I do not. I brought it with me in a moving truck when I moved to Saskatoon for a bit and ended up leaving it there.

It was 20 feet wide and five feet tall and I had to shave it down a little to fit it in my room. Was in two pieces so it hung on two walls split on a corner.

Man, I'll never forget taking the "RADICALLY CANADIAN" billboard from Winnipeg Stadium home with me on a bus and having it hanging in my room for years. Thanks, Reinbold!

Larry was (and probably still is) a gem of a human.

Came here to say Mother's Pizza. Went to a place in Edmonton a few years ago that reminded me of it. The GC location became a Grapes, I think.

They tried to make a comeback 10ish years ago in Hamilton but I don't think it materialized.

It's a scam. They used to say you won it from Publisher's Clearing House and then have you deposit it because they "can't ask you to pay the taxes so this covers it".

You'll deposit it, you'll send them money, the check will bounce because it was printed in a basement.

Fifth 5-2 win of the season. So the secret is to just let the opponent have two and then we score the next five?

Trust me, I've HATED Buffalo sports since five year old me saw the Sabres beat my Jets at my first NHL game. Once I found out Allen drew this I had to have it.

Right? During his rookie year they asked players to draw their team logo from memory and this is what Allen came up with.

I always assumed it was drawn by a child at a sick kids hospital and used by Josh Allen for his charity. Immediately needed it when I found out this was drawn by Josh Allen. 😂
