    Name the best signs you've seen spectators holding during a race

    Love this. Also, it's perfect for my artistic skill level. I always remember: "Lady Gaga says 'if it doesn't hurt it isn't fun'" This one is kind of in poor taste but yes, everyone laughed. It was the Pittsburgh Marathon in 2010, in the middle of the Ben Roethlisberger (quarterback of the...

    To my dear sweet mother-in-law...

    What is your point? She should have chosen a husband based on whether or not she got along with his mother?

    it's been a disappointing disney christmas...

    Sheesh. Sometimes people are disappointed and just want to vent. I've found it helps to get it all out there.

    The most irritating people at Disney World

    I wouldn't jump on you for saying we shouldn't have tax breaks for parents. That's certainly nicer than your original statement that parents shouldn't "expect" tax breaks. Like the average mom is out there writing the tax laws.

    Race Reports/Encouragement/Kudos - 3 and 4 December

    Thanks Sarah! :) Manda, how did you do? I had a better experience than some for sure but no, not a good one. I don't feel bad about not making my goal - there is always another race - but am a little sick over how much money I spent for what was supposed to be something once-in-a-lifetime...

    Race Reports/Encouragement/Kudos - 3 and 4 December

    Less than 24 hours now. Changed my finish from 4:30 to 4:15 and joined the pace team. Also moved my daughter to a faster time for the half. I'll be representing with a lime green Mickey on my bib. :)

    Race Reports/Encouragement/Kudos - 24 - 27 November

    Great job, everybody! My daughter and I decided last minute to do a 10k on Thanksgiving. Got there for the 9 am start and realized she didn't have her shoes. She said she was fine with watching me but I had seen the competitive spirit start in her eyes as we drove past people warming up. ;)...

    Race Reports/Encouragement/Kudos - 19 and 20 November

    Good job! My daughter did pretty well in an 8k trail run last week. When I looked at the finish line pics I was surprised to see a guy with a dog finishing ahead of her. Can't imagine pulling that off without getting tangled in the leash or something but...some people have skills. LOL

    Really torn on adopt a family

    :confused3 Are you saying it's better to be on welfare than for an 18-year-old to babysit younger kids - including her own child - so mom/grandma can work?

    What Sports teams do you hate

    I hate the Dallas Cowboys going back to the beginning of "America's Team". What crap. However, after several decades there is at least a possibility of getting over it someday. Maybe. Also the Philadelphia Flyers and there's no chance of getting over that. Thanks to them I also hate the color...

    What's it to you if I put up my Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving?

    Awww. Christmas really is better with little ones. Count me in as one who doesn't decorate early, in fact I decorate very late. As late as getting the tree a couple of days before Christmas. I may not be into early decorating but if I walked into someone's house that was all lit up, I'd...

    Asking opinions for a friend

    So what? That doesn't change the fact that an 11 or 12 year old isn't competent to make the decision to play at sex games. That's the law. Again, so what? Talks shows and books are full of people who never came forward till adulthood or until some trauma or counseling prompted them. If it...

    Asking opinions for a friend

    I'm not jumping to any conclusions about the ex. I'm saying that when there is any doubt at all, we need to err on the side of the innocent child. Not wait and see if the little girl someday mentions that she's been abused. I'm curious as to why you keep saying "consider the source"? The OP...
