Reply to My (27M) Gf (26F) of 2 years did not invite me along to her bday movie stream night by BarnacleTop5037

You need to talk to her about it. She may just be assuming you know you're invited or that you may not want to go for some reason.

Either way, she has no way of knowing your feelings are hurt if you don't tell him. She can do what she wants on her birthday, but I doubt she would be entirely uncaring about how you feel.

Well, competitive gaming is always dsmaging due to repetitive movement... That also works with chess, since physical shape helps oxygenation and mental performance, chess players need to have physical stamina...

But I'm talking more about casual play. (But you are right, computer gaming can cause early arthrites and so on..)

Reply to LPT Request: Best way to tell my kids (ages 6, 6, 2) that a beloved uncle has died by jcujcu

Just be straight with them. Children are remarkably more mature than they are given credit for. How you handle it is how they’ll forever remember. Be calm, not overly emotional, and forthright.

Example: “Kids, I have some difficult news. Your uncle died yesterday. “ And then answer their questions simply and to the point. Treat them as if you believe they can handle it, and they will likely handle it just fine.

Reply to How does one swim in the concrete? by Nwo5

Aren't there sections of skate parks that basically look like large empty pools? I would imagine heavy rainfall could cause potential flooding and it serves as a basic warning of "don't go in if its full of water."
