My kids got lucky with the "no test scores required" years that seem to be coming to an end. My oldest is a junior in college, and my youngest is graduating high school next month. Both got into schools they likely would not have been accepted to if they had to submit their scores. My oldest...

My daughter turned 18 recently. Has been on social media since she was around 14, one of the last of her friends. So I asked her about this topic, and whether social media should be banned and until what age, and she said yes, until age 15 or 16. I asked if she had to go back in time to her 14...

As a manager, I have a similar situation sometimes - not to support customers, but for other travel where just one or two people from my team are needed. If I’m looking for volunteers and who is interested, I’ll say that in the email, and I would not expect people not interested to respond. If I...

Overall I like the 90 minute episodes. But maybe this is one of the downsides. If the producers had to edit his story down to 60 minute episodes it wouldn’t have been as painful. But with all that time to fill, plus probably thinking they were making him a sympathetic figure, they instead just...

Been the same for me as well. I have 60 different accounts I follow across various topics, and almost always use the Following tab. Every once in a while I check out For You, but even there I don’t see anything violent or inappropriate, it’s almost all stuff that’s relevant to the accounts I...

I also don’t have an option to PM you, but interested in joining.

That's what I've been doing, oldest is a junior in college and still contributing for the state tax break.

I've also had mine in age-based portfolios, kids are now Junior in college and senior in high school. And agreed, they have been pretty conservative. But in general with all investing I avoid trying to time the market. You never know if an unexpected economic catastrophe will occur and your...

No chance Deion is going, not for 2024. Couldn't take Shedeur and Shilo with him, nor Travis Hunter, I believe 2nd time transfer rules would prevent that. His daughter's at CU as well, plays basketball, and again, couldn't move with 2nd transfer rules. He's not leaving his kids behind at...

welp, that was it for me - picking Love as one of my QBs really hurt with Lawrence on bye. All my RBs and WRs flopped. And Waller getting hurt at the same time LaPorta and Engram were on bye left me with a 0 at TE. And those TEs were the anchor of my team, and the only reason my overall crappy...

Such a great job on this, and can’t wait for 1991. Really formative year for me and I listened to music non stop, a ton of great memories as I read through the thread, and our tastes are remarkably similar. Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks for recommending this, started it last night. Always on the lookout for hidden gems.

She gave birth in May 2022.

With so many big multipliers in the coming weeks, aren't the points from week 1 pretty much irrelevant as long as you didn't lose any of your SB or championship round players?
