This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's good with 3 kids in tow by TCIrish03

most of my summer Saturdays have consisted of:

-take kids to gym/pool in the morning. Drop them in learn & play while I workout, then take them to the pool for a couple hours while my wife gets a breather.
-Go to Sam's (the only Costco in town is 45 min away, while Sam's is 5 min, but same diff) for gas. Let them wash my windows.
-Shop at Sam's for food and booze for the evening's firepit. Usually it's a quick trip w/ only a few items.
-By now it's after lunchtime and the pizza slices are yuge, and the kids love it.
