And then you don't have to go, right?

My 5 year old had his first hockey practice last night and immediately after we are getting sent polls and information for out of town tournaments. What the fuck? Half these kids can't even skate, and they want to start playing in tournaments across southern alberta? We didn't sign up for the travel team.

And the unfortunate part is I think a good chunk of the team is stay at home moms so they don't care if its a mid week tournament, they are always going to say yes.

Sport parents are wild man. Hockey gets a lot of attention, but I think many sports are nearly as bad. My kid has midweek dance tests, and if you wanted, could do out of town competitions about 20 weeks a year.

Well yea. Their kids hockey team is literally their social club.

Tournaments for kids that young is for nothing more than for the parents to get sauced and a few parents to hook up.

It's why the siblings look so different.

This! Although my kids dance studio finally booked something on a weekend. Granted its the May long weekend. In Banff. So at least it's cheap. Idiots.

Thanks so much to YouTube for this latest mobile update. I'm sure everyone hated the incredible convenience of turning the phone sideways to enable the full screen view. Having to click a button to do this is so better and then having to click it again once or twice to turn the video back to normal and get out of it is a game changer.

Maybe one day, mobile phones will come with accelerometers so just turning the phone would switch these views. But that's only been around since the first generation of smart phones in like 2007 so I guess we'll never be able to enjoy that feature.

You fucking shit-cocks!

[suntan]

I thought that was just me.

[JfuckinC]

updates in general, apps or software, Hexagon fucks us every time and takes functionality out of one of our software's every year i swear haha

I can still auto rotate on the youtube app, iphone iOS 16.x

But that would drive me insane, hopefully just a bug.

[suntan]

Hmm, works again. I did update the app yesterday.

Our crew house may be furnished with fucked up second hand furniture that was probably bought at a garage sale, but at least it doesn't have air conditioning so it's nice and hot inside when we get back to town.

Employers and jobs are the worst.

When your teen has friends over to the house, instead of going over to thier house.

[killramos]

They drink all your liquor or something?

I actually really like it. I grew up with friends all in my house all the time, always a party house, some things never change lol

I like that my kid feels comfortable enough to have his friends over, because I know he doesn't tell me shit, so at least I know some of the kids over at my place.

[ExtraSlow]

I can appreciate and respect that opinion. I'm just grumpy as hell.

[Disoblige]

Drunk white girls with marital problems. It's the fucking worst. Blah blah blah blah blah...
