What kind of errands....

Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

If your ds presents a great law school admissions dept nothing but a great acadmeic record, he might get beat out by someone with just as great an adacemic record in addition to some indication that personal accomplishments transcend the academic arena.

For what its worth the biggest earners here are traders and they can't expect to live 2 seconds on a tradefloor without a working knowledge of pop sports culture. My husband, in corporate sales discovered exactly the same thing. These people are schmoozers by trade. Are you any good at that schmoozing thing you find so important?

>>Yes indeed. The people in the Astrodome have problems. Funny that you jumped to such an extreme. Do you think that anything LESS than being a dehydrated refugee qualifies as a problem?<<


You can't be serious that you are interpreting this statement as her saying that anything about that situation was funny.

I find it "odd" because you chose an example which can't apply to anybody on this board. Thus implying that things of a lesser magnitude don't really constiute problems. Now how about you pick something that you would consider a problem that is not extreme and could apply to your family or those on this board. Jumping to the extreme is just a sly way of saying "if this isn't your situation, you don't have any problems".

"Sport is a big and highly regared part of kid social life, whether parents like it or not."


Not as much to some people as others.

Yes. You are. Because you said that the way to avoid problems was to have a plan. Plans lower the numbers of problems but can't do away with them altogether.

They aren't competitive, and they are not team sports.

That's a distinction without a difference.

I don't know that I'd rule it out. He went to a nice private school. However the really intersting question would be - are his children involved in sports?

Why would it be funny, or odd, that it would be on my mind as a good example of a "problem"?
