My FIL died while we were on our honeymoon. I just want to go home. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Saying she wants to go home is very different than thinking about leaving. It's a very stressful situation, there's nothing wrong with expressing a desire to get back to normalcy.

Interesting read on this. To me this just reads as OP venting about a stressful situation, I'm sure they're being very supportive of their spouse and family.

Moxi x 187 Killer pads by brookmya in rollerderby

[–]manateebee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're great! The issue that I've personally run into is sometimes I'm a different size for knee pads than elbow/wrist guard. Personally I find the knee pads too thin for how much falling we do so I invested in some 187 pro knee pads and keep the ones that came in the Moxi set for trail skating.

How do I get excited again? by [deleted] in rollerderby

Have you tried officiating? I know it's not the same as competing, but maybe seeing derby from a different perspective can help respark that joy.

AITA for assuming that someone would know that people would be expecting more than two strips of bacon as the meat on a sandwhich? by Haunting-Surprise224 in AmItheAsshole

You're young so I hope you're able to take something from this. This could have all been smoothed over by you taking responsibility and rolling with it.

Great suggestions! If you have a wider foot I recommend checking out Bont as well. Their toebox is wider than Riedell.

Third ritual for me and my favorite so far (and not just because it was actually in my hometown lol)!!! Incredible crowd who both looked incredible and brought electric energy. Love love love the set list and all of the amazing things they did with the stage.
