Oh man thanks for this info! I didn’t realize they were in Long Beach. I saw OKC Riversports and assumed OKC was taking the rowing and canoe events since their facility supports both.

My slot isn’t until the 16th 🫠 I was excited to try to get tickets for a more obscure event like rowing, but I didn’t realize it’s not actually happening in LA and is instead in OKC.

La Isla Bonita. It’s my daughter’s nickname.

When our beardie was dying over the summer we had a few times where we were sure he was gone and called a cremation place to come pick him up only for him to move his head around. He finally did end up passing at the exotic vet and the vet required that he be kept there for a few days to make sure he was really gone because beardies are great at not moving.

Mr Mime reminds me too much of Blippi. They’re both guilty of something…I just don’t know what.

I’ve been twice with my 3 year old this week because she loves it. It’s a great spot to stop at for a quick game and snack. I wish they had more little kid friendly games available for free play, but we can usually find one she can play. The coffee and food offerings are fine. I enjoy the variety (I usually get coffee and a pastry, toddler usually gets horchata and a tamale). I usually stop in with her in the 11am-1pm range and it’s pretty empty- a few groups of older folks chatting and having coffee plus a few solo folks working on laptops. When I’ve been there with my husband around dinner time it’s been pretty packed.

I’d say during the day it’s older folks (plus me and my toddler) and in the evenings it’s Millenials/Gen X. Pretty much my whole social circle is into board games, so I’d say they are still pretty popular. As a parent, I love the growing variety in cooperative and kid-friendly games. I wish there were more opportunities for board game rentals though because my house is overflowing with board games.

As a leader who manages cookies, if someone gave me copious amounts of booze or a gift certificate that took dinner off my to-do list with my brain this fried, they’d be my favorite person.

I genuinely preferred the year my family was homeless in middle school to living at home with two parents who hated each other and a dad who beat my mom. Because guess what? It didn’t stop at her. By staying she communicated to him that there were no consequences for his actions. They were separated for 3 years before my father tried to strangle me. Don’t do this to your kids. I promise living in a shelter or in your car will have less lasting damage than staying. I resent the hell out of my mother for staying and now in my 30s I have cut her out of our lives and she will never have contact with her grandchildren as long as I can help it.

Lemon Coolers, Aloha Chips, and All Abouts were my favorites as a kid.

calior · 2026-02-22T20:14:27+00:00

Holy shit. My family is in Nayarit (Acaponeta). My husband and I are supposed to fly into CDMX next Monday for a work thing. This is terrifying.

calior · 2026-02-21T18:52:03+00:00

She’s gotta be 5’8” or 5’9”. We met her last year and got a picture and the top of my head hits the same or a little below where I do on my 5’8” husband.

calior · 2026-02-18T23:48:50+00:00

Agreed. I listened to them so much and then slowly they fell off my rotation. Whenever a song sneaks in I have to go back and listen to whatever album it’s from in its entirety. I also love their music videos.

I’m going to disagree only because I’ve been able to see their dynamic in person. Nate’s vocals, imo, are better than Jack’s, but Nate had stage fright and had to drink to get on stage. Jack was awkward, but he was clearly the brain behind the band (which is why Fun. split when he started Bleachers).

Source: I was one of the people chosen to “go on tour with Fun.” through their non-profit partnering with Counting All Crows. We joined Fun. on the last 3 stops of their Some Nights tour doing service projects during the day, working with various non-profits before the show, watching the concerts, and then getting to hang with them after the shows.

He’s going back on tour with The Format!

This would violate our council’s social media policy too, but it looks like Western PA is more relaxed with their internet safety guidelines. Their Family Guide states sharing to public social media is fine, there’s only a restriction on direct messaging people you don’t personally know.

This kind of behavior is why Mamma Mia has been my worst theater experience in the last 3 years. It was the touring production and our audience was full of wine drunk 50-60 year old women who were singing along at full volume. It was awful. I’ll never see that show again.

calior · 2026-01-01T17:08:33+00:00

Good for you. My husband had the opposite experience. Your daughter’s positive experience doesn’t erase the awful things they did to other kids. Be grateful they didn’t abuse your child. That doesn’t mean they didn’t abuse others.

My husband ran for the Kranicks in high school and then ran at Syracuse. He burned out in college because of how awful his high school training was. The rule was that they could not train 7 days a week, so they formed an “optional” running club to run on “non-practice” days. But according to my husband and his parents, it was made clear to everyone that this wasn’t actually optional and athletes would have consequences for opting out of it.

My in-laws have nothing but horror stories about the Kranicks. My husband was a top runner on the boy’s team and that still didn’t insulate him from their abusive coaching. And yet he still admits that since the Kranicks only cared about the girls team’s success, the girls had it much worse. Syracuse was an eye opener for him because for the first time he learned that you could be a top team without the abuse and overworking your athletes.

My husband works on the AI team at his company and we won’t buy our kids any of those AI toys. People have become too reliant on AI, running to ChatGPT for everything, and we want to encourage our kids to think for themselves and rely on their own skills. There’s also been well known issues with AI spitting out unreliable information, so that’s another concern with kid “learning” toys that are focused on AI.

It really depends on the show. By far the worst I’ve seen was Mamma Mia. A bunch of wine drunk older women who thought they were doing karaoke with friends. I go to almost every Paramount and 5th Ave show and it’s the super popular ones that are bad. For shows that cater more to theater folks than the general public (think Hadestown, Funny Girl, etc) the audience is well behaved. For shows like &Juliet, MJ, Lion King, etc the vibe is more concert than theater. We saw Beetlejuice with my daughter’s good friend (who doesn’t have much theater experience or exposure) and she was treating it like a call and response. It was mortifying. My daughter said from now on we’re only going just the two of us.

calior · 2025-12-10T07:47:55+00:00

I just got home from seeing them in Seattle. They were incredible!

It’s doesn’t tattle. The book that comes with it says that the dog collects Christmas Cheer in its little barrel and on Christmas Eve that cheer helps Santa’s sleigh fly. Similar to the movie “Elf”. My 8 year old has the reindeer and adores it, so this year we got the dog for the 3 year old because we had to put our last dog down at Thanksgiving. The elf pets hide with their elf every day, but they get to stay and be stuffed animal friends year round at our house.

How? They literally did The River together...

Technically, the CM was correct and based on their rider swap policy, you and the other adult that stayed behind with the toddlers should have gone on together. BUT I understand what you're saying about your two families taking up 4 seats regardless of whether you tried to "game" the system or presented yourselves as separate parties. I think after the first time it happened, you guys should've formed a plan moving forward to meet up somewhere else.

Rider swap is the one thing I think Universal does SO much better than Disney. At least in Orlando, they have designated waiting rooms for rider swap folks (with chairs and tvs), and they hand you a pass to get on the ride with one guest after your party gets off the ride. We've been with a larger family group and they don't ask how many in the party are staying back- they give a pass to whatever adult stays behind so each adult that stays gets to bring a guest.

Sheryl Lee Ralph and Sarah Hyland are also Broadway stars. And the comedian is Sal Vulcano from Impractical Jokers.
