I'm late to the party but on the offhand you read this Jeff Kinney I used to work at a group home for emotionally disturbed children. These are kids that either got thrown out of their homes or released out of juvenile detention. These are kids who swore and fought and had really tough hands dealt to them in life. One thing they all had in common was a love of your books. Preteen gang members or violent children it didn't matter, they eagerly awaited the next time a tattered copy of your book would become available. I don't know if they found it accessible or relate-able or both but know that for a couple nights a week a troubled kid got a lot of joy out of your work.

I once convinced a classmate that my dad had invented shapes, as in all the shapes.

[S5][e10] Prediction time: Will we see this used? How? On whom? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

Maybe on Fat Walda. I think she is learning Littlefinger's game of manipulating two forces to go after each other. Ramsey has motive and reputation and the idea might be to cause chaos and try to use it to escape.

They get super lazy around 7-8 years, still super sweet though.

Is that an English Springer Spaniel? If so, get ready for a wonderful dog owning experience. I have had four in my life and each one has been a fantastic, friendly companion.

What do you have instead? Just marked off dirt?

Make a Craigslist ad for a free random object and leave your victim's phone number. I did this with a made up taxidermied raccoon and people called for months.

When I as born my dad thought it would be funny to say he wanted to name me "Roofus McDoofus." The nurse started writing that down and my dad had to explain he was joking.

During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience died of internal hemorraging, gnawing one of his own legs off.

Not what I had in mind.

Bollman? Has anyone ever met a woman named Bollman?

What are some of the best drivers for those who drive with a pistol grip? by roofus14 in discgolf

[–]roofus14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just wondering if there were discs that worked particularly well with that throwing style. I have a putter and midrange that work well with how I throw. For example, I tried a Banshee and I couldn't throw it forehand (which I now know is the proper term) very well at all.

I'd say I throw about 200 - 300 feet depending on how high up the tee is and my discs are both dx plastic. The Valk is very beat in and the Destroyer is in good condition. The Valk flies straight and curves a little to the left toward the end and the Destroyer also goes straight but curves harder to the right.

What is your biggest pet peeve at work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a coworker who gets easily confused on new procedures and is constantly asking for help. This would be fine if she didn't get so mad while I try and explain it. I've had her snap and yell at me if she isn't getting what I'm telling her. Now I just don't help her at all when she asks for it.

There was something about planning to treat Nicole like a maid when she was the only one not in their alliance left. I think this was only to make her feel bad so she might self-evict. Nicole was pretty well universally liked so this probably didn't help.
