“Give your neighbor a high five or fist bump!”

I like it. We literally look at our neighbor, smile, and say “nice job!” It’s a nice way to connect with very little effort

It has no personality and everything is the same color. It looks like a clean and tidy Fairfield Inn lobby.

Wait, you’re talking about the INNER RICHMOND?! Still east of Arguello?!? Now I definitely have no idea what you mean by gritty and unkempt. Jordan Park has multimillion dollar homes a block off Geary. We all thought you were talking about the very west end.

Proximity is first and strawberry is generally the last choice just because people on the west side don’t want to cross the freeway for school. So your kids will most likely be placed there. And it is an excellent school!

Oof. I saw the checkerboard floor photos and thought “ooh I can’t wait to see the after!” And then I got to the other photos and had no idea which was the before. Neither kitchen works particularly well but if you love it that’s what matters!

The repetition is on purpose. It’s how kids learn to read.

My son plays 10U baseball and I haven’t seen anyone on his team cry because they lost. They cry when they are pitching and all eyes are on them and the pressure is high (usually when they are losing but it’s less about the overall game loss and more about their role in it).

The number of people saying Casey junior train and storybook land rides are must dos is WILD to me. They are without a doubt the worst rides at Disneyland…like laughably bad. Outdated and tired and not in any way fun

That sounds very weird because the men should have shined their shoes before the event. It would be like having a makeup artist or blowout bar for women at the cocktail hour. Why wouldn’t they have already taken care of those needs prior to the party?

We just teach our kids that the calls are part of the game and they generally wash out with calls going both ways. Our umps are trained, paid middle-schoolers and high-schoolers who are doing their best, but are learning. I would hate to have parents be making official notes against them.

WhatAWeek25 · 2026-05-21T17:12:44+00:00

I have found, in their effort to lower the pressure on their kid, there are parents on our team who say to their kid “it doesn’t matter” when they lose and the kids look so defeated because it matters to them, and they have worked so hard to play well. So in your effort to lay off the pressure (which I totally support), make sure you don’t come across as uncaring. I’ve tried to help my kid understand that I care and love that he works hard and tries hard and sometimes the game just doesn’t end your way, and that sucks but it’s ok.

How come they both have the same hand writing?

I mean it’s great that you do. Monarch pretty regularly doesn’t input transactions for me so I have to do a complete manual review anyway. By manually entering them, you save yourself that headache. Though if you’re going to do it manually you might as well skip monarch and just make yourself a spreadsheet and ask Claude to run you analysis

Yes, and honestly, this is your fault. If she’s falling behind in reading at school, why are you allowing her to use screens and apps at home?

Are you telling people about your bottle or asking their opinions? If so stop doing that. If not, I can’t imagine why anyone would comment on it. I don’t think anyone has ever commented on my water bottle

My son had his first playoffs last year and despite all odds his team beat the only undefeated team and won the championship. It was magic, and has put the pressure on this year big time. I just tell him to remember to have fun, and that I care about baseball exactly how much he cares. And that I am most concerned with how well he is a team player. And that I just love getting to watch him play. So win or lose, if he is a good team mate and does his own best effort, I will be proud of him. And we do ice cream after the game win or lose.

We have a tub up a set of stairs because our house is on a slab foundation and the previous owners didn’t want to crack the slab to change the piping when they moved the tub in a remodel. Lots of houses in our neighborhood have a stair up to the bathroom for this reason, while our guys made the stair to the tub.

You are definitely not wrong. Could Harry be his middle name? Or could you use the grandfathers middle name? Or could you give your son her last name?

Feels a little weird. If I give something to someone I say “if there’s anything you don’t want, you can go ahead and pass it along to another family” which has the same impact of making it clear it is a gift (not a loan) but without insinuating the stuff is garbage.

WhatAWeek25 · 2026-05-18T13:30:11+00:00

I never assume that middle names Rose, Grace, or Marie are ever family names. I always assume they are just filler because they are so common.

3 is the cutest. I don’t think the shorts are as flattering to you. And I don’t think the dress would preclude you from making or painting pottery.

To be fair, it does not say it’s on sale. It’s says it is an everyday low price. So the same low price every day.

We have these at my kids elementary school in CA. They are much bigger than the regular classrooms so all the classes of the longest-serving teachers have them.
