    Anyone home school or know of someone who home schools? (Year 1 update)

    According to my wife "we're taking it year by year", but I think it's more of 5 year plan and reassess around middle school. More than likely it's looking like a hybrid half day homeschool, half day in middle school, then ful time in high school.

    Anyone home school or know of someone who home schools? (Year 1 update)

    We're not too worried about the social side and bad habits, but more on the pace of education and having learned things above his grade level. The boys on his football, soccer, baseball teams are the same boys he'd be going to K-12 with anyways. But being able to complete a portion and move on...

    Class Action Lawsuits - Consumer

    I sign up for all that I can. I've received 6 cans of free tuna from Starkist, $2.00ish for some wipers, like $10 from Silvania light bulbs, and $0.06 from a visa card I had.

    Tornado Warning UNL

    Does anyone ever remember when events, games, and early release because of issuing a tornado watch? I get it, last week sucked. But with the issuing of the tornado watch for tonight I'm seeing events and games get canceled. Same thing last Thursday, my son's middle school canceled...

    Anyone home school or know of someone who home schools? (Year 1 update)

    Year 1 update. We, by we, I mean maily my wife decided to and I followed along with homeschool our 6-year old. At first, I was extremely relunctant thinking it would be a massive headache and failure. In the end, it was a great decision for our family. We did the Classical Conversations...

    Yard Care

    I read on some golf maintenance forum they go up to 2lb/1k sq ft. I know grass can withstand a lot, especially if it is granular and not liquid. I'd be more worried about trees than the grass. I have a maple tree that has shown signs of iron poisioning when I double the Milorganite rate in...

    POLL Are you smarter than a 6 year old?

    Last week my 6 year old yelled, "my poop is as long arm my arm." I disagreed, but had to see anyways. Sure as hell, it was as long as his arm.

    Post-Spring Game Feelings

    Raiola has an extremely good head on his shoulders and is a big follower of Jesus. From what I've heard and seen of him, he's what you want as a leader of this team. I've seen him at our church a couple of times.

    Official 2024 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread (30-16)

    Cockeye pitchers and catchers might be the worst group of players I've ever seen playing catch, especially long toss. We missed memo of a delayed start so was in RF berm for them playing catch. My boys got 2 balls from overthrows, another dad and his 2 boys got 3, and 2 or 3 other kids got one.

    Tornado Warning UNL

    Tornado originally touched down a mile north of us in NW Lincoln and we had zero clue. Kids and wife were downstairs and I was out collecting hail. After it cleared took boys out to see it. First time they've seen a tornado.

    Hot Takes Thread

    His average Rushes per carry were exaggerated by his long runs. I remember seeing a stat that LenDale had better rushing production per carry than Reggie. It was Reggie's long runs that made his stats look better. Arkansas 8 for 125 with a long of 76 = 15.6 ypc ave. Without that one long he...

    Yard Care

    Eat a Sam's Club pack of tuna and place them around the yard to get your timing right. If you have a zone with a sloped yard, I like to break up the watering into 2 waterings, same in the summer months.

    Fucking idiot. He's split into two if that winch cable comes undone. It's seen way too many close calls offroading with winch cables.
