Any details? For Cooper—how did Yamil do? Or Henry Swan?

Next Saturday for the first dose. 

My grandma’s homemade donuts, rolled in sugar. She would say, “Recipe? I don’t have one.” I wish I would have watched more closely and taken notes while she made them.

Searching for my glasses that are on my head....

I’m more of a Special Victim’s Unit fan. I think that when your mom allows a boyfriend to live with you for 3 to 5 years, starting at age 13 or 15, that’s just strange and weird. Did mom have her daughter’s best interest in mind? Does not sound like it. We don’t know. Maybe she felt she had no other way out. Maybe she did not want to be with the boyfriend that is living in her house, but her own mom gives her no choice.

My nephew lives in downtown Minneapolis. He has been posting Facebook live videos as he participates in the protests. On the first couple of days, the videos were powerful and uplifting, to see the sea of humanity, passionately gathering together.

But now it is starting to turn ugly. Sunday’s video showed people marching down the on ramp to the freeway, but a line of police officers stood across the bottom of the ramp, preventing the protesters from getting on the freeway. The protesters were getting closer and closer to the police barricade. The police began to roll tear gas canisters towards the crowds so they would back from the freeway.

In my observation, at that point, it was no longer peaceful. It was people being careless and stupid, trying to start an altercation with the Minneapolis police officers.

From an employer perspective you are not legally allowed to discriminate based upon one's medical condition. Say you are going through a list of job applicants and see that Joe Smith has a condition of which you believe you would have to modify the workplace for him to work so you throw out the application. That is illegal and classic discrimination.

Agree. Or an employer placing you in job assignments based on what they may have learned about your medical history, and possibly giving the better opportunities to individuals that they deem healthier or younger.

But we've already "proven" in-school instruction isn't essential.

I’m not sure anything has been proven. Generally speaking, the rigor is lower. Reliable assessment data is not feasible with this platform. We will have learning gaps that will continue to widen, the longer students are out of the classroom.

You can't have fans at a college or NFL game and expect social distancing to occur. It just won't happen. IMO they will add a "attend at your own risk" to the back of your ticket and let everybody in as normal. There is entirely too much that has to be done in order to prepare a stadium for less than full capacity while trying to enforce social distancing. There's too much money involved for teams/schools to take on that task.

I want normal just as much as everyone else. I hope our health care system is ready.

This is horrible.

Given the guidelines for starting back youth sports released yesterday, I see no way that we're having football this year.

Can you tell me what the guidelines are? Thanks.

If you are not wearing a mask, then please social distance. Sports are alive and well at the grocery store as I box out at the fridge cases to grab my milk before no distance/no mask dude commits a travel and a charge.

I have to admit that I thought it was odd that at age 18, she and her boyfriend had been living together for 3 years at her mother’s house.

This makes me want to slap the mother.

You’re right.

 

So the pay gap exists because women’s sports don’t generate enough viewership to regularly be profitable.

 

From a quick google search, the population of our country is roughly 50-50.

 

If that’s accurate, this seems to be a very simple solution then...

 

Women need to watch sports with the same passion men do.

That would be an improvement. But the bigger difference would be if MEN watched women’s sports with the same passion that they watch men’s sports.

But it’s not going to happen. This is not tomatoes/tomahtoes and potatoes/potahtoes.

One could say that that it did not make a difference if their doctor/dentist/lawyer/teacher was a man or a woman. But with sports, this is an entertainment choice about how folks want to spend their bucks during their leisure time.

When I wear a mask in public:

-I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.

- No, I don’t “live in fear” of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

- I don’t feel like the “government is controlling me;” I feel like I’m being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.

-The world doesn’t revolve around me. It’s not all about me and my comfort.

-If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.

- Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid, or even “controlled.” It makes me considerate.

-When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator , alone without you or any family member allowed at bedside.

-Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them.

Nothing like tomato soup with crushed up Saltine crackers. Or dip a grilled cheese sandwich in it.

Try as I might, I just don’t see this happening. “A couple thousand kids enter a building. The break into groups of 20-30, and go to a room for about 50 min. Then they go to another room with 20-30 different kids, for another 50 minutes. This happens 4 more times that day.”

I struggle more with the logistics of running a school day, than the logistics of sports.

This is sooo sad!

I think it is a huge deal, we send our children to college to be "educated" and the college employees looking out for the students were complicit in their criminal activity and created a hazing situation where the students were expected/encouraged to get naked in front of their coaches.

Agree. I understand that some of the employees are close in age to the students and even become good friends. But you just can’t, and think it’s ok. Not a good look.

I tell my college kids to “make good choices.” Someone needs to tell the coaches to do the same.
