    I'm asking for prayers

    There is nothing more difficult for a parent than to watch their kids get sick and be unable to help. Of that I am certain. Good luck to you and your daughter.

    Hawk fans are the best

    To be fair there were several people commenting against his theories. The post is completely devoid of any credibility on so many levels. That's what makes it so crazy and so much fun to read over and over and over. I wonder if he's a twelve year old because that's the level of his arguments...

    Hawk fans are the best

    I saw the post at HN too. So amazing that someone could be that delusional. It has to qualify as post of the year. I tried to come up with someone on CF who might be equally as delusional and while we have our share of die hard crazies I couldn't come up with anyone who looks at the world as...

    WWE Night of Champions

    I know this isn't directly on point but I have a question about the wwe in Des Moines. My kid wants t go. He's 8. I'm not worried about the violence etc. But it says it starts at 630. Does anyone know if it'll start on time and how long it'll last. It's a school night. I suppose I can look on...

    Xbox 360 v xbox one

    We have had an original wii forever but I'm considering buying an xbox. My kid is killing me for one of course. We are far from serious gamers for sure. Funny thing my kid keeps saying he wants the xbox 360. He's 8 years old. I however tend to err towards the higher end with such purchases to...

    Help with state law question

    You've hit the first issue already. The fact that a teacher could assert some undue influence for personal gain. 25 years ago I know of a chorus instructor who routinely taught private lessons after school outside of the building. While he never threatened to fail someone that I know of it was...

    NBA: Will LeBron James play for Miami next year?

    I can't help but feel like LBJ just pitched his black hat away for a white hat. I thought the only place athletes went back and forth from hero to heel that fast was the WWE.

    LeBron Skill Academy

    While any positive pub he can get is great, I question the value of these things other than just sharpening the knife against better and better opponents. Isn't it obvious that Georges skills are ridiculously better than most. I mean they can't teach him to be 6' 10" or have a 42" vertical. He...

    Who's been to France?

    I spent six weeks or so in France for law school. There's a lot of good advice in this thread that I won't repeat. My best advice is if you have time get off the beaten path a bit. Find a small village somewhere off the main train routes and just hang out. I found the ppl in this situations to...

    Embiid = ???

    Ten years from now will we consider Joel Embiid's NBA career to be closer to Greg Oden's or Olajuwon's? Discuss.

    Hoiberg Father Son Camp

    We got back this afternoon. I did not anticipate the level of soreness that it would create. While we worked pretty hard I think the rubber track they play on is hell on your legs. I am beat though.

    Games of Thrones Book Thread (With Spoilers)

    You have disagreed with me on an Internet message board. I now must call you names and accuse you of being an insolent right or left wing ideologue incapable of understanding my obviously more thoughtful and smarter analysis of the situation. Be gone with you.:jimlad:

    Games of Thrones Book Thread (With Spoilers)

    I'm of the opinion that the books should never end as long as they continue to have interesting characters. Seriously at the end of the book 8 is it really going to say "And they lived happily ever after."???? It's Westeros for crying out loud. This should be like the Star Wars expanded universe...

    Thomas Pollard runs an Iowa All Time Best 3200 at State Track

    And he's a junior. Props to the kid from Boone who was in it with him pushing each other. He'll be left out of the convo for being second but he was under the record too. And the kid in 4A from Linn Mar ran 9 flat without any competition.
