    Has anyone had their daughter play an all male sport? Would you?

    FYI, the only concussion my daughter received in soccer was the result of no contact to the head. She collided with another player and landed on her rear hard. Got up and finished the game. No test was done because there was no indication of trauma to the head. We had not idea she'd suffered a...

    Any Michiganders get their auto insurance rebates yet?

    We have MEEMIC and received an email that said the deadline is May 9th but they hope to have them all sent by April 10th.

    If you were building a new home, what would be your must haves?

    I see the USB ports mentioned a few times here and we did that 5 years ago when we remodeled our kitchen and I would not do that again. Those ports did not have enough power to charge our new phones/devices and are now useless. I think they were 2.0 and now phones used 3.0 and 4.0. We are not...

    If you were building a new home, what would be your must haves?

    We are in the process of building right now (be patient!!! It's taking forever now). Our kids are in college so this is our 'empty nest house'. Finding a plan that has your main wants is so important and was more difficult than I thought it would be. Luckily our builder had one that was perfect...

    Question about where to stay for traveling to Bryce Canyon and Zion National park...

    Three weeks ago I was on my way to Bryce for the day. We traveled with family and rented a house in Kanab. It was very nice, and somewhat in the middle of the two. I made the mistake of looking at the distant from Kanab to Bryce Canyon in general and should have put in the Visitor Center, that...

    Kirkland Bagged Ground Coffee

    I used to have this issue too, then I started weighing the coffee. Once I hit that perfect flavor, I knew exactly how much to use. Seriously, a kitchen scale has been one of the best purchases I've made in years!

    Mailed stimulus check. How long?

    Had you filed your 2019 taxes before the first stimulus? We hadn't so we got money for our DD who was 16 in 2018. She turned 17 in 2019, but those returns hadn't been filed before the first checks. We didn't get anything for her this time because it was based on our 2019 returns that shows that...

    Mailed stimulus check. How long?

    I'm in this boat too, live in Michigan, last one was direct deposit, this one was mailed out on 1/6 and still haven't received it. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

    Cases rising or dropping by you?

    Looking at their definitions, it appears that they just count confirmed positive cases, not new positive cases. Since people often need a negative result (or in some cases, two negative results) to return to work, they will be tested more than once. One person could potentially be responsible...

    Cases rising or dropping by you?

    I believe that is number of positive tests, but only 891 were new. I saw the 1,049 number too, the rest were those who were already positive but are testing to find out when they are 'cured'. Just another reason why the data can be so confusing. I live in Michigan and everything I saw made sure...

    Cases rising or dropping by you?

    Curious where you got the data? Michigan only had 891 new cases reported on 7/15/20.

    Club vs. School in your town

    In our town (in Michigan) we have several clubs who play nationally and several high schools who are state finalists every year. Boys HS soccer plays in the fall and girls HS soccer plays in the spring. Most clubs have their HS age seasons opposite of the HS season. There are a few DA club teams...

    I never learned how to make a grilled cheese sandwich

    We do this and use salted butter. I keep 1/2 stick at a time out and have had it go rancid only if it was out for several weeks.

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    Exactly! Many times back-up players are brought in during blowout football games and everyone still celebrates when they score, especially if it's the first time in this next phase of their sports career. I agree, unless they disrupt the game or taunt the other team, it's not excessive in my...

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    Okay, let's forget the score. What I want to know is if everyone here who is complaining about the celebrations watches professional soccer. From as long as I can remember, part of the game is excessive celebrations and over the top players and fans. The noise from the crowd is like nothing you...

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    That is your opinion. What I saw I would want my daughter to emulate. They were working together as a team and celebrated each individual's success. I loved that at the end you could tell they were feeding Carly the ball so she could get a chance to score. My dd has been on many teams where one...

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    I do only because I see people calling it classless and unsportsmanlike, but the diving and falling during a men's game doesn't get labeled like that because "that's how it is". Men and women are different and I know as a woman I tend to celebrate more like those players and my dh is more...

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    But what if it's his first touchdown pass of the game? Do you really think what she did was choreographed and pre-planned? That was her first goal of the game after many chances. I imagine she felt a huge relief and euphoria and let it out. She is under a lot of pressure this tournament.

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    So using that logic, should Tom Brady no longer celebrate touchdown passes or Super Bowl wins (because he scores a lot and is a veteran of numerous Super Bowl games)?

    US Women's National Soccer Team controversy

    Me too. If they'd hadn't won by a lot people would be questioning the talent of this team. If they didn't act excited people would be wondering what was wrong with them, were they so confident that this game didn't mean much to them. I think no matter what people would be criticizing this group...
