Welcome to the 1st grade...

Parent of an 8th grader, 4th grader and 1st grader. My kids go to a small, expensive, private school. I serve on the board and have seen no end of drama, drama, drama. It's first grade. Stop overparenting. Your resentments now will have a lasting impact on your relationship with the school...

Car will probably be totaled, does estimate include recent repairs?

Yeah, that's the conclusion I've come to as well. Haven't heard back from the adjuster yet though. Mayabe I'll have a state-farm like experience as previous posters had and they'll pay, but I'm not holding my breath. Almost makes me wish I had been hurt in some meaningful way, at least then I...

Car will probably be totaled, does estimate include recent repairs?

At a stop light in my piece of crap 2000 caravan with 160k I was rear-ended by a mercedes 325 convertible going about 40, thankfully no one was hurt. Last summer we looked at our finances and decided to get repairs finstead of buying a new car. Rebuilt transmission, water pump and power...

Wow. Guy I know got owned on his father's will.

While it's not impossible that a multi-millionaire is also a member of the SAS, it does certainly seem unlikely. Seems like there'd be easy proof of this to cite if John of Sheffield wanted too.

Parents: Dying Girl, 7, Taunted by Neighbors in Trenton

I just bought a Ukelele.

What's great about it is that Iz is actually mangling the lyrics pretty badly, I'd guess he doesn't really remember the whole song, but it doesn't matter because his voice is so unearthly beautiful you don't care. I'd listened to it dozens of times before I noticed and that's only beacause I...

im going to do a massive career change at 30

I'm currently a sysadmin at a largish national company and make $75k. I find it terribly unrewarding and it is not where my strengths lie. I.T. is just something I was pretty good at and I was in the right place at the right time to move up the chain. I have no degree, no certs, and to be...

I started the career change process at about 30. Still going 4 years later and have 4 years to go! It often seems interminable, but keep plugging away to get where you want to be. Nothing is stopping you but you.

Battlestar Galactica: waste of time

Reminds me of one of my favorite Fark headlines of all time, from when they were building towards the "ending". Rocketing towards their journey's final conclusion, but with no end as yet in sight, Battlestar Galactica reveals more holes - in the plot, in the ship, in Sam's head, and the...

I'm dying

I can totally sympathise. We're having the same heat in Chicago today and I'm in the office. By some miracle for which i praise FSM, they left the AC on today. I'm literally ecstatic about that. Stay cool bro. It's totally legitimate to work in your boxers in that kind of heat, FYI.

What is a good time to give birth?

How bad is chicago in the winter?

Agreed. Summer is humid here, this is really a swamp that has been drained. The windchill is also extreme, I think the openness of the land allows some super-cold wind to blow through. I'm talking -70f at times. I've stood at bus stops and prayed for death. One of the best places in...

YACMT: Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Opus 31 No. 2, by Kempff

Link I was just so struck by the intensity of this. I'm generally a fan of 20th century melodramatic composers so it's exciting to find a truly classical piece that I love. I know there are some AT classical lovers out there, so feel free to discuss.
