Kickstarter idea: mini-Peloton, a stationary bike for kids than can be adjusted as they grow. Pedaling at the specified rate causes their favorite show to play. There's an optional setting that will make the show play too fast or too slow depending on the pedaling rate if the kid is the sort who finds that sort of thing hilarious
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

chrismg, that's a great idea.
I'm here in Colorado with my brother's family, and although his boys are 12 and 9, it works out because we're up in the mountains and they can just take their bike to the park or go to the creek and fish, and whatever. It's really a nostalgic kind of lifestyle, like we had when we were kids. So nice for them, and it keeps the house quiet enough for my brother & me to get some work done during the day.
I don't know how all y'all parents manage, it is so hard. Just remember, everything you're doing, you're doing it during a global pandemic and that makes everything five times harder. So cut yourselves some slack.

Ok y'all. Help me out. What are some good dog names?? Like a friend has a dog Ranger, which I could see a hipster parent naming their child but it seems like a dog name to me, not a person name. Can y'all think of others of that ilk? I tried googling for lists but they were all people names. I may go with that or something fannish, but my preference is to avoid naming a dog John or Mary! (No shade to those who do, just not my first preference)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm, most of the dogs I have known have ad people names. Will ponder.

Lol. To shout out in full yes, but I'm trying to imagine how you shorten that—"c'mere, Herc!"? I guess I want no more than two syllables in a short form!
