Great episode! Echo everyone’s sentiments here but one line that also made me laugh was at the very beginning when the ghosts are sitting around the couch and Stephanie comes in they say something about leaving them alone because they were doing adult things like “planning a dinosaur wedding”.

As a hockey mom I have no interest in basketball. As a mom whose state recently legalized sports betting I’m suddenly into a lot of sports I wasn’t into before. Also as a mom whose entire family went to NC State I was all in on last nights game and ended up winning $1,000! I am traveling to Texas this weekend for my Aunts funeral. My uncle is an NC State alumni and is planning a huge watch party. Go Pack!

I’m just now discovering this show and this episode resonated with me in regards to Henry. Glad I didn’t watch this when it first aired as we had just discovered my 10 year old had a congenital heart defect and were going through cardiology appointments and multiple surgeries at the time. In season two or previously in this season (I’ve been bingeing) the officers were giving blood and Nathan’s character mentioned his son had TOF so I just knew it was going to come up again. I thought most of the dr. Scenes were pretty good. Ok. But yes, Henry should have been seeing a cardiologist at least once a year. My son is almost 12 now and we are almost a year out from his most recent surgery. We see cardiology twice a year and I take his blood pressure several times a week. Just please don’t tell me this story line ends up going south. My mama heart might not be able to watch. TOF usually results in open heart surgery at birth if discovered at birth which is not what my son has. And we were only presented with the option of a temporary fix because his condition is so rare. They could never do open heart to fix his condition. Sorry for the late response and mini diatribe but I do really like this show and am glad a friend introduced me to it.

The K-12 Charter school I work at doesn’t even have a library. Only books in the classroom. I teach Kindergarten so my kids aren’t completely reading all the way yet. My 2nd grader is allowed to take books home from her classroom as are my middle school kids. I thought it was so weird when they built this new school in 2020 with no library or cafeteria. The kids eat lunch in the classroom or grades 5-12 eat lunch outside if the weather is nice.

I haven’t worked a full week since November and I rarely get sick. If I do it’s mild and I can work through it. December we went to Disney and I came home with a sinus infection. January I tested positive for Covid. Today- stomach bug and Covid symptoms all over again. I have not been cough or tissue free since December. I work in an elementary school with my own kids being in 2,6 and 8 grade. Normally I don’t catch everything but it’s been awful!

All I know is it will be another season of cringeworthy games and I won’t have to waste my money on a ticket.

As a Panthers fan who has been to several games, sports a vanity license plate, sticker on my car, yard flags, etc.. I’ve given up. We have slowly emerged as a hockey family now. My two boys play roller hockey and are obsessed. The Hurricanes don’t let me down nearly as much as the Panthers. In fact the last game the Panthers lost I promptly went out and removed my vanity license plate and replaced it with a Hurricanes one. Panthers stadium is a day trip for me but Hurricanes require an overnight stay. Haven’t bought a Panthers ticket in over two years. This will be our 2nd year seeing the Hurricanes. Tepper needs to go!

I still buy cards for gifts but it pains me that they can be upwards of $5.00 just to be thrown in the trash. My grandparents send me Jackie Lawson ecards all the time!

I was in middle school in the 90’s and as a white girl growing up in a predominantly African American neighborhood and school system rap was my music of choice. I had the biggest crush on LL Cool J. This was about the time Doin’ It came out and through MTV was able to catch some of his “older” hits. I still love LL. My husband thinks he looks like he should play a Ninja Turtle though.

One of the fantasy leagues I’m in involves my cousins who live in Dallas. I lost this year but I’m secretly loving this since from September- December all I hear about is Dallas.

Yea. Not liking this shill at all. I have three kids. My oldest is 14 and he’s the only one that “regularly” takes melatonin to go to bed. And that’s after I make him try for at least an hour with a book in bed and no screen time. My younger two (11, and 7) rarely ask for help getting to sleep but I’ll give them a small dose if they’ve tried for a few hours. We also keep on a regular schedule including bedtime at the same time every night. Dinner at the same time, wake up for school at the same time. Schedules people!!!!!!!!! They know nothing about that! My 11 year old, as I’ve mentioned before has a rare Congenital Heart Defect that didn’t get diagnosed until he was 10. He has had 2 heart surgeries so I’m a little anal about what I give him to help sleep and his daily routine. edit to add: with Layla saying she is tired after dance class… my heart kid was always complaining about his legs hurting or being tired after doing something and I never thought anything of it. I always brought him for his yearly checkups and it wasn’t until he turned 10 that we went in for a check up and he had sky high blood pressure. We went through kidney specialists, CT scans, echos, blood work, etc until we figured out it was his heart. There was never a murmur or anything.

Unseasonably warm here as well but I personally hate snow on Christmas. Too many family members trying to drive and navigate roads in snowy weather. Give me snow anytime of year but Christmas Day. July is even ok. Christmas 2020 we had a massive snowfall Christmas Eve. Sort of unexpected. We had our annual party with my mother in law and my family made it home ok but the rest ended up parking at their neighborhood entrances hoofing it home in pj’s with small kids.

Yea. Not looking forward to Sunday. I’m in one fantasy league with all my cousins who live in Dallas and bleed stars out of their asses so the group shit talk has already begun. I have no doubt BOA stadium will be full of Cowboys fans as most of us have given up on the Panthers. I also have no doubt the Cowboys will smother the Panthers. My MIL of course wants us all over at 1 on Sunday to help her get Christmas decorations up and while part of me is irritated that she planned it for football Sunday the other part is fine I won’t have to watch the shit show )though I’m sure I will find a way to turn the game on at her house.

I’ve always loved having a real tree so it stings a little to go artificial this year. I went with a flocked tree. My mom hates the idea of fake snow on a tree but I live in the mountains so I think it works. If I could afford an aluminum tree with a color wheel I’d be all about it!

I was all but ready to give up this website which would have gutted me. Saw another poster here recommending Duck Duck Go and it’s been a life saver. No ads and much more enjoyable experience .
