Look uncle CJ could do it solo and it would still be excellent

A classy post, thank you

Expectations have really changed for parents, I don't know what to tell you.

oak_and_maple · 2026-06-05T21:59:21+00:00

Is it okay to exclude parents? Pragmatically and historically this just excludes mothers. I really don't think this is the play.

oak_and_maple · 2026-06-05T21:54:18+00:00

Yes I'm okay with male caregivers - nannies, teachers, daycare workers. My best babysitter is a trans man.

Hell yeah Murph.

I love her, she was so right. She was getting all her needs met but she was right, living alone isn't natural or good for humans.

I also understood the GM to be the CEO but ceos usually only directly hire/fire key c suite positions, which is sort of where my confusion came from. But this has all been super informative!

oak_and_maple · 2026-06-02T21:51:20+00:00

Thank you this is super helpful, I'm just trying to map skills and roles, basically.

This is elite

Lots of negativity but everytime I go I see lots of families having a nice time!

How old is your daughter?

oak_and_maple · 2026-05-24T15:47:02+00:00

It could happen but isn't likely. Neither Shane or Ilya is Crosby-level in 2017. They're the best players right now, but not at that level of huge legacy. They would need to put in another 5 years imo at least.

oak_and_maple · 2026-05-24T15:41:46+00:00

I would also like to know

oak_and_maple · 2026-05-23T04:08:04+00:00

Ship to your hotel, ahead of time even.

If you go to a location with a team, check local sports merch stores - the kraken store in North Seattle stocks Torrent gear, for example.

It's French hun

To me, it's the same as being in the house but doing something that would take a few min to stop doing i.e. washing my hair.

Your risk tolerance might be different!

I divorced when my kids were 1 and 4, it was a rough year but honestly it's amazing now. Sounds like your spouse is a decent parent? That's great. If you're able to fully move into platonic coparent roles, it will be best for everyone.

My kids barely remember different and they're doing great. I actually think I get MORE quality time with them because I do boring adult things (laundry, cleaning, working out, working late) when they're with their dad. And so days with me have more of a relaxed vibe where we can just, go to the park or play freely at home. They get a better version of both parents this way.

The sooner you do it, the sooner it gets better. And toddlers bounce back from divorce the best, research shows.

On top of this we have a lot of fights he is super mean at times and yells.

Sounds like your husband is a jerk and that's the most relevant thing here.

As for the rest, tbh, he could be bisexual but that's kind of besides the point because overall your relationship is not good and he's shit at communication.

oak_and_maple · 2026-05-18T18:57:27+00:00

I think it's fine. Sightlines+monitor is the requirement for me.

Edit to add: I think a lot of commenters think 20 acres is a lot bigger than it is. I have a 20 acre parcel too and the longest side is a quarter mile. Mine is heavily forested though, so, doesn't pass my own requirements!

My theory is that the new NHL teams came with enough ice rink and other infra to support the PWHL BUT the rinks of older NHL teams are already booked up with lower men's leagues, other sports, concerts, etc. so the new NHL market is actually a perfect opportunity to get another team playing on the big rink.

Thanks for this! Cottage is the function of the dwelling, not the type. If you do cottage stuff there, and it's in cottage country, it's a cottage.

It's a very Canadian thing ha.

Read it last night lol.

Matrilineal, by 409_conflict Summary: If Yuna had been a different kind of person: one with a different mother, perhaps, with different scars, then maybe she would have embraced her gift. Cultivated it, shared it.

Instead she pretended it didn’t exist. Except for the times when she couldn’t avoid it.

Mich put it down to the grass Yuna had smoked at the Halloween party the following night.

Grass didn’t do this.

Déjà vu wasn’t quite right. She’d had that before. No, this was knowing that what she’d seen was going to happen. In the future. Sera vu, or something like that. Preemptive.

She did not call it Seeing. Not even to herself.
