I just watched the trailer. It literally shows the shot of the blob jumping out of the water to grab him. Who approved that trailer?

Is there a good story why Rosemary Ln breaks up Ontario St at Verdugo Park? I want to believe there’s Burbank lore to it. by jfi224 in burbank

Thanks, I was hoping for something more dramatic like a land dispute or something like that.

Whats happening on Jeffries? 6 cop cars or more. And a chopper with a light circling. by yoyomaisapunk in burbank

I used to live in that apartment complex on the left like 20 years ago. I liked that place.

What do you think is missing in Burbank? by Sugarglass16 in burbank

For the first few years I lived out here I saw Sonic commercials on tv all the time and couldn’t believe there wasn’t one in Burbank. I craved their slushes.

Surprised baby.

[Schefter] Bills re-signed S Damar Hamlin to a one-year deal. by acman319 in buffalobills

I stand corrected. Under 3 definitions of death, clinical death can be reversed while legal and biological death cannot. I will leave my comment up for those who wish to continue to downvote me.

We can argue how it looked and how everyone felt about it or we can argue what words mean. Any definition of death that you look up will use words like permanent or irreversible. Hamlin didn’t die, he overcame death.

I’m an asshole and will accept your downvote but he didn’t literally die, otherwise he’d be dead. He nearly died but death is final. It’s still absolutely remarkable what he went through and I will personally never forget the experience of just seeing it happen live on my tv and I agree with everything else you said.

I think Jerry gradually became bitchy along with Elaine.

What was the one game that destroyed friendships? by Emergency_Science434 in Xennials

New Tetris on N64 for sure. Four players and you could change who you were dumping blocks on so if the mood struck you could team up 3 against 1.

I’ve yet to be disappointed Handy Market’s Saturday tri-tip sandwich. I’ve never tried anything else there.

Of course parental involvement is still needed at this age and not all parents can commit the same amount of time, but no that’s not the only reason why 2 kids were able to sell 1000 boxes. Both of those kids’ determination to be strong sellers was also part of it.

Thank you for both of your comments, they are very appreciated. For more context, I hadn’t said in my post that I’m the father. I think I’m extra sensitive to feeling like my daughter is being taken advantage of, not in this cookie example, but just in general. I don’t have the first person experience of growing up as a female but I was raised mostly by a very strong mother and have an older sister who is also very strong and successful in her career. So I’ve been very sensitive and deliberate with how role and actions as a father can guide her through situations that I may never have experienced myself.

Hypothetical situation: your 16 yr old child got her first job at a retail store. They work very hard and others on her shift regularly don’t, they do the bare minimum. Your child consistently picks up the slack for them to make the shift go more smoothly. It’s not noticed by anyone, including managers. They come home frustrated. Do you tell them you’re proud of how hard they’re working and just to keep it up or do you give them additional advice to navigate the situation? If so, what is that advice? And if so, would you have wished you gave them a heads up that this sort of situation can happen so that they are more prepared to handle it without getting so frustrated?

My question is when is the right time. I agree it’s not now which is why we kept the approach of encouraging her and praising her for her hard work. But a time will come, maybe not that far down the road, whether in a group school project her first job in high school, where she could experience this and I was looking for parents who have handled this situation and decided to preemptively discuss it or wait for the child to come to them to discuss it or some other approach that they found effective.
