If you guys only knew how much I spend on my daughter's competitive cheerleading.  It's embarrassing.  However, we've never forced her to do any extracurricular things.  She tried soccer, softball and volleyball before cheer.  She wasn't into it.  Especially practices.  Now, she voluntarily goes to the gym 6 days a week to practice her tumbling. When she's not at the gym she's either watching videos on cheering/tumbling or playing minecraft.

much like cartoons, the quality of programing for kids (particularly on Amazon Prime) is outstanding. Gortimer Gibbons, Kicks, Annedroids, are you kidding me? Wow.

My kids will sit there and watch other kids put legos together for a good hour.

Then they'll go do the same thing with their legos.

I guess I do the same thing with fixing a toilet or patching drywall...

The other night I watched 2 hours of starcraft 2 competition on YouTube. I don't even really play starcraft, especially not multiplayer

i've used youtube to teach myself home improvement/ repair skills. i used khan academy to teach myself a certain subject the summer before grad school. washburn never required me to take any courses in it, and it was going to be a large part of my graduate study. now days, i pretty much only use youtube to look up music videos or concerts.

My son loves pokemon.  There is a channel that is called Opening Pokemon, or something like that.  Kids buy cards, open them on cam, and talk about the cards.  Not in a collector/stats nerd type way, but just like a normal kid opening pokemon cards way.

I think we can all agree that the worst thing about this country are all the minivans with antlers and red noses.

There would be a lot more right with this country if SD had bought a minivan like he was supposed to.

ksuw is stuck in "upper middle class" purgatory due to taxes, that's what wrong with this country rick

Nah, more like lower upper class tax purgatory. It's hard to be a HENRY.

You're rich but let taxes stress you out? That's hustlin' backwards.

Youre a little late to the party. This same libtrash trolling was put to bed a few pages back.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

The horror of how expensive a wife and kids are.  :Crybaby: Such a tough life, I can afford crap! But I can't afford enough! I don't really have to worry about money!

The hilarious thing is that he doesn't realize that all of his stress originates from his own choices. A self-professed fiscal and social conservative with no more control over his own life than a heroin addict. Sad.... really.
