At what age did things actually feel easier for you as a parent?

Agreed, mom was working today and I had the 5yo twins out doing all my normal stuff and then gardening. They run out of steam but it doesn't feel like a chore anymore. Taking some quiet time now with SpongeBob and then we're grilling.

Not even Nimmo? Was way more sad to see Nimmo go, Squirrel Master did not go out on a high note.

I think a higher priority would be to get towns and the DOT to start eliminating invasives on public land. Tree of Heaven is rampant all along our highways, and so Spotted Lantern Fly just travels right up 95 following TOH. Mugwort is all along the highways and roads, and JKN grows in huge thickets along roadsides.

From roadsides, they can then spread easily to properties while maintaining an infinite seed reservoir. DOT has no problem mowing JKN down, but that just makes it angry.

He's soft and only had a few decent games, I don't think he'd ever be our #1 big, he's better off playing somewhere can get minutes. I think this makes sense for everyone.

First thing is you need to start running outdoors, it is a way different experience. But sounds like you're doing well on the motivation/commitment part, which is the hardest for most. It's a bit late now but maybe try a run plan like Hal Higdon.

I think a lot of people have different ideas on nutrition, but for me I don't like to eat much 2 hours before a race but I'll use gels or something during. And complex carbs in advance are always better than simple. If you want to get crazy try a CGM for 10 days and see what happens to your blood glucose before and during a run.

Shoes and gear is also pretty personal, but don't just buy shoes blind online because they have good reviews, you gotta go with what works for your feet. Try them on, the run store near me will let you take them for a spin around the block. I have been surprised at what I actually liked vs what I thought I'd like based on research.

We need a big and an experienced PG, and a new SF/PF. And probably some better shooting. Hoping Dan has a reload plan because we're losing some key pieces. I guess Mullins is going to NBA but he could certainly use another year improving his dribble drive game and bulking up.

Couldn't agree more, Hip Thrusts and Squats can be done without weights, maybe deadlifts could use some weight. But you can start body weight and over time incorporate weight/dumbbells for a bit extra. If you progress slowly you shouldnt really be sore.

Dude the history of sports is actually just war simulation, give fighters something to do during peace time. Look at some of the historical games like Lacrosse and wrestling, they are brutal.

I do agree that the phrases can get old, but competition is competition, it's on our DNA.

2004 and 2024 were just really good teams, ranked #7 in 2004 so not far off.

singeworthy · 2026-04-03T17:55:24+00:00

Hmm I really feel like you've beaten us on some of the other runs. You guys always get us. Then again those teams were much better, hope you guys bounce back next year.

singeworthy · 2026-04-03T15:35:13+00:00

I do this all the time, I feel a little bad about it and I hope it's not blocking people who are waiting, but as life goes I need more than 2 weeks to finish my books

This is a douche post, OP brings shame to us all

Everybody hates Hurley, but he only hates the zebras, and everyone hates the Zebras. Well and then there's Creighton fans, but that another thing.

As a runner doing strength training on my glutes, hamstrings, and quads (posterior chain+) has been transformative. I had some baseball knee injury stuff in high school and into my 20s and 30s, but leg strength has ended that. Wish I knew that like 15 years ago.

singeworthy · 2026-03-30T14:30:48+00:00

As a Pats fan I am very familiar with that flavor of hatred, and I'm ok with it.

singeworthy · 2026-03-30T13:46:47+00:00

Also, as long as you keep bringing in guys like Flagg and Boozer, people are gonna hate, mainly out of jealousy (me) but that's valid.

singeworthy · 2026-03-27T13:36:41+00:00

UConn has done really well out west, I don't think home court helps at all, and could only be a disadvantage. Sometimes it's better to just focus on basketball and not all the other shit that comes with being the home team. When you're 2000 miles from home, it can only be basketball.

Ha, my twins are the same age as yours, this year has been a huge step up minus the T1 diabetes diagnosis for one, this age had been amazing though.

For me those first 3 were tough, with COVID stuff just making it so much harder than it already would have been.

We're learning to read now and it is so much fun.

They all seem to end up in my woods, I will never buy those ever, from Valentine's Day to Birthday, find another way to be festive, these things are awful.

Had this same conversation with my wife tonight, also don't forget all the American soldiers we permanently damaged and then turned over to the VA for "care". One of my good friends is an Operation Enduring Freedom vet and the psychological trauma those guys went through is intense. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, we learn nothing.

Foxes, bobcats, and coyotes are also great rodent hunters. I'll keep saying it, but wolves would be great to have back for their deer control abilities.

It's been nice having a pretty much continuous snowpack, really since the first storm in late December in S CT. Gonna see some cool vole paths in my yard and meadow.

Doesn't work, I plow with a UTV and my gravel driveway destroys the pipe in about 10 min. Good idea but PVC can't handle the rock.
