Topic | What's a reasonable allowance for a 7 year old? |
googs19 07/17/20 11:19:59 AM #14 | I've been giving my kids their age in allowance, so the $7 year old gets $7 a week. I also haven't been directly tying their allowance to chores. They have chores they need to do, and lose video games or something if they don't get them done, but I don't want them to expect money just for doing stuff around the house that they should be doing anyways. |

googs19 07/16/20 4:08:35 PM #26 | Persimmon. Mostly because I have a project at work by the same name. |

Topic | Ghost of Tsushima or Paper Mario: The Origami King |
googs19 07/15/20 3:58:34 PM #8 | I'd probably rather play Ghost of Tsushima, but with young kids it is a lot easier to find time to game if I'm playing something they can watch. |

Topic | Would you eat this? |
googs19 06/28/20 1:47:49 PM #28 | It mostly depends what the sauce is. I'd be perfectly fine with deviled eggs and fried chicken, but I couldn't handle it if the sauce was spicy. |
Topic | The size of the universe - do you believe in it? |
googs19 06/27/20 1:28:21 PM #36 | Lorenzo_2003 posted... There is the observable part of the universe that we can study and what lies beyond that has yet to reach us (if it ever will). Assuming the universe is and continues to expand at an expanding rate, distant galaxies will continue to move further away from us faster than the speed of light, and thus the observable universe will have less and less in it, not more. |

googs19 06/25/20 1:12:49 PM #46 | I was there with my son for one of his friend's birthday parties last year. The pizza was better than crappy frozen pizza or Little Caesars, but still not quite real food. |
Topic | Trump is really going all in on Mail In Ballot fraud |
googs19 06/22/20 11:24:34 AM #54 | I requested a mail-in ballot yesterday in order to do my part in pissing off Trump! |

googs19 05/28/20 8:33:51 AM #421 | MFBKBass5 posted... Its crazy to me that CNN isnt covering this AT ALL, yet its the headline of Fox News. When the story was "Black Man Killed by Police" there was nothing at Fox News. When the story turned to "Black People Rioting", then Fox decided it was worth writing about. Its almost like they have an agenda or something? |
Topic | So, why did they need to go back to the future to 2015? |

googs19 05/03/20 9:26:43 AM #10 | When I bought it for my kids last year. I never got it when it was popular because I knew it was the type of game I would get way too obsessed with and there were other things I wanted to do with my time. |
