pinewood derby races - rant
My son was in a pinewood derby race at church. There is so much for kids to learn about the car design, ect.
Here is my rant. Why don't they have rules about what the fathers can/can't help with! The cars that the father's obviously did won first place for every single grade. It was ridiculous I've never seen so many 8-year-old boys in tears. I think these men are sick that winning against a kid gets them off.
Except for sawing the car and nailing the axels it should be hands off for the dad! It was so obvious between a car that a man designed/traced and painted vs. a kid. They even had an adult category the men could have entered into.
Has anyone experienced this? 
Amazing Race! - sm
And Saturday Night Live, (at least on those RARE occasions that they actually have a NEW show, and not something that's been rerun for the 5th time that season.)
The Amazing Race. - nm
that i used to ride race horses,
that i've been a crime victim more than once, that i'm a descendant of Eric the Red and Leif Erickson...gosh, lots more!!
The Great Race. Anyone else even heard of it?
 A really goofy movie, I admit, but I like Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk. Like OP's choices, too. (Tell me more, tell me more... )
... I gave up! Watched Amazing Race, instead. ; )

i disagree somewhat. i don't think this particular issue needs to become a race thing, but sm
i sure think if the government would crack down tighter on all the non-Americans coming into our country, some of this violence would be cut down. yes, americans are violent too, but why allow more? look at 911, if those guys were never allowed in our country, it would not have happened. same thing here. my mother works at a prison and she says hispanics are 90% of the population and majority of them are gangs. i know there are good and bad in every race, it isn't necessarily a race thing. i am only referring to the illegal, violent non-americans here, not the race in general. i am not racist, but i do believe in protecting our nation as a whole. i am just saying tighter security measures and background checks should become priority before letting some in our country because obviously they aren't doing a good job at security measures as a whole.
rode race horses in the morning.
and MT'd at night -- the best of both worlds, with both my mind and body fit :)
i guess my worst job was working in a movie theater -- it required no skill whatsoever.
We had our sixth graders do a sack race and we also had a game ..sm
where they were divided into teams and they had to put on gloves (nice thick winter ones) and open up a Hershey's kiss. They had a lot of fun with both games, but they had a ball trying to open that candy!
I wouldn't do Wife Swap but would LOVE to do Amazing Race!!

For an hour after OP, it was no where.

at 3:00 p.m.; CST is one hour behind nm

If you think that one little hour or less of planning
These teachers don't get anything done on their planning period, because they're too busy calling parents who won't respond, trying to actually FIND a parent, talking to a student who is obviously having problems at home which is affecting their performance at school. They don't get paid to be a mentor, surrogate mom, social worker, assistance program, etc., but most good teachers do this becaue they genuinely care for their kids. That "planning period" is a joke!
8 Hour Sleep - sorry
should say 8
I can make between 20-26 an hour . nm

I was out before 8:30 and spent about an hour
shopping- I do not like to shop at all and mostly this morning bought things for me, like some flannel PJs and some sweaters at the outlet store. The crowd not bad at all- only 1 ahead of me in the checkout. I shop over the net quite a bit but had received flyer and things I wanted I got.
AI was just an hour long
It may have run over by a couple of minutes or so.
$28 an hour, where do we all sign up? NM
.
yep for up to an hour they can still bite you- sm
there was a story on TV a few months back about some guy in the middle of no where, staying at a remote cabin for a week (was getting picked up at pre-arranged date a week after his drop off there), on day 3 or 4 killed a snake by the house by cutting off its head, and then for some foolish reason decided to pick up the head which is when he got bit. By some miracle he did not die, came darn close though, if his ride hadn't come he would have died though.
p.s. it should be a 12-hour fasting
blood test, and then done with the glucola stuff you drink...and checked more than one time. Also, things such as steroids can raise your BS readings. I would just about put money on the fact you are probably seeing a PA...but either way, read up on these things, webmd.com or American Diabetes Association... get informed. Everyone needs to be more proactive on their health.
We have a 48 hour turn on our Paps

You are kidding about paying $2 more an hour??
I find most Americans, regardless of their race, creed, religion, etc., etc. wanting to work. I have never had to worry if I hire the Mexicans here in town to work, show them what and your job is done. I have a lady who cleans (black) and I usually have to make a list and even then she wants to sit down most of the time. Have used all but found get my work done with south of the border folks.
20 miles is not far, 1/2 hour drive
if you can stay in his town, for now, and if it's better for the kids, and your first grader is comfortable with people working with him, and it's cheaper, maybe you can go visit your family regularly. A half hour is not far; people drive farther than that one way to work day.
also, it sounds like you agree there was nothing ever in common, it's okay, at least he is caring, and you can remain friends, and he is a good father. It's okay; you'll probably be happier in your own place.
It's a tradition with us! Only have a 1/2-hour ride. nm

I am in Lancaster about an hour from you. I just was down to the new Harrahs you have down there to
watch the sulky races. I have only seen them once in my life and it was pretty nice watching that. I am not much for slots but I like to watch the horses and I bet a whole $2 on them. Not much but more fun to watch when you have a favorite picked out. I never win anything but it is an inexpensive way to spend the afternoon every now and then. I have only been there once.
nothing-it was an hour of past scenes of
like eric and jessica.......borrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggg. I watched the feeds last night on Showtime 2 and across the screen it said that earlier in the evening, the Jury house sat with Daniele and ED and asked all kinds of questions and then went into deliberation until tomorrow night....but from the feeds, you wouldn't have known that this occurred - Daniele/ED must have been instructed to not discuss that on the feeds...and they did discuss some of the things that they were not to discuss over the summer last night on the feeds.
New Smyrna is nice but it's an hour or so away
We have friends who live in Orlando and New Smyrna is their preferred beach. It's a bit of a drive; we used to drive up and get a room for the night so we could spend the whole day and not have to drive back.
Gain an hour of work.. for me and DH
Both work nights :)
Nope. That's more than an hour's work
if you ask me. And the services won't touch dishes. The one I had broke more stuff than they cleaned properly, so good luck.
And what I do is add a can of Cream of Chicken about an hour before sm
serving to give you a good, thick gravy - it combines the juices of the turkey plus the good taste of the soup. No one can ever tell how I got the gravy so thick and tasty (over home-made mashed potatoes) but the trick is that instead of flour or corn starch!
he wants your attention; take an hour and play with him
nm
a 4-hour visit? i don't think i could tolerate something like that
:)
Too much - how bout once every half hour or so
Drives me insane, although things have gotten so bad here were we live (crime wise) and peoples home are being broken into while they sleep so I sleep at night and he sleeps in the day/afternoon. But when he is awake he comes out of his room every half hour or so to tell me the latest in news/events. It drives me absolutely crazy.
But it's better than it used to be. However, I do love my time when he's sleeping.
I had a 30-hour gallbladder attack, and
it was rough. I'd just been diagnosed with stones and then had the attack. I had to wait a few days before my scheduled surgery.
My surgeon told me his story. His abdominal pain started and 3 hours later, he was checked and his GB was already gangrenous. What if yours is?
I live about an hour off the Gulf....sm
in south Mississippi. That is pretty funny but some of it is true.
Exercise really helps. At least an hour a day. Gets those

Dont get mad at me, but for an hour a week, couldnt someone
should be worth that. Besides as Dr. Phil says, the best thing you can do for your children is take care of their mother- get healthy. Just saying. No critizing.
No, Reynolds, GA. About an hour south of Atlanta, I think. nm

Really? I am in Columbus, GA...An hour south of Atlanta - are you in GA? nm

Just bought Ŝ Hour Sleep" - used 2 nights - like it a lot (sm)
Bought it at Food Lion. It has valerian root, 5-htp and melatonin and some other ingredients. Works pretty well and I am not tired the next day.
I googled S Hour Sleep and could not find.

I say go for it. If I could afford to work outside somewhere making less than $10 per hour
I'd get out of this field in a second :)
400 lines per hour? You need to teach me a few things! LOL nm

Um, kids don't belong on a 3-hour TS tour
in the first place. I'm sure everyone else there was cringing when they saw your brood in tow. One in diapers, no less. Unreal. I think these tours are meant more for wealthy people who can afford these things, not for people looking for freebies for the whole family. And I'm suprised the guy was bothering you at all, and just didn't say, "NEXT!"...lol
Do you live in PA. I am only about an hour from Gettysburg. Been there many times. nm

Its really quite an interesting story. It was sighted near me, about an hour
Richard Geer.
Our pizza guys get $7.50 an hour plus tips.
I don't feel bad at $2 tips. He's making more than min wage here.
If he wants more money, he needs to get into a better job.
And start taking 1/2 hour walk every
day and build on it -- adding another 1/2 hour walk or making it 1 hour. Do something for youself every day. Get up, get showered and fix your hair before starting your job. You'll be amazed how much better that can make someone feel. 
I cook mine at 250 degrees for 1 hour and
then add sourkraut around it, sprinkle with brown sugar and cook at 350 for another 1-1/2 hours. Is always very tender.
Are you going to laser your veins? Places here in NY say to have it done on your lunch hour!

lots of flexibility, couple hours here, an hour there
