My 14 y/o son's growth plate is still open according to Xray, why is he not growing?
In Feb, he hurt his arm playing basketball. Took him to the ER and they xrayed him for broken bones. Luckily nothing. She showed me his growth plate on his arm and said "it's getting close to closing and he should grow a little taller". That was in February and he really hasn't grown since. My question is, is it possible for it to close without him growing any more? He's about 5'7. Am I being impatient? How fast to growth plates "close" in the body?
1 AnswerDiet & Fitness6 years agoMy 14 year old ran his first EVER 40yd dash. What can he do to improve?
My son was invited to the Football University Combine in KC this weekend. He has never been timed on a 40yd dash before until this day. He's 14, in 8th grade and ran a 5.10 (HH) and a 5.16 (HH).
What I'm asking for is if anyone knows how to critique, his stance, his form,...etc. We both believe that he could have done better. 5.00 or possibly 4.9. Take a look and any feedback is much appreciated.
4 AnswersFootball (American)6 years agoMy 10 year old daughter called herself stupid this morning. How much should we worry about this?
Her mom was dropping her off at school and she noticed that today was the walking activity that the school does every year. As soon as she saw it, she goes "Oh man, I forgot my water bottle,...I'm so stupid." The way she said it was saddening. This is the first time we've heard this. She's usually very cheerful, high energy and always smiling. Any advice?
7 AnswersParenting6 years agoShould I worry about my son's size/weight for football at 8th grade?
Long story short, my son is pretty good at football and plays running back. This is his last year in youth football since he'll be in HS next season. I don't know if I should be concerned because he did grow taller during the offseason and got slimmer. He's about 5"6 and 130lbs. During summer camp, his coach made a comment saying that he needed to "beef up". He looked like he was half joking. But my dad has been saying that I should be giving him whole milk so he can put on some "pudding" if he wants to continue at RB. My question is, should I even worry?? Afterall, he's in the 8th grade, it's nature, and he'll get weight training when he goes into HS next year. Here's a link to a video that I made from last year so that you can get a view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biK91eaahFU
4 AnswersFootball (American)7 years agoCan my credit union legally tell me what to do with my hail damage insurance check?
The check was NOT payable to them. Only my name. He gave me 2 options. #1 Put it towards the loan principle, or #2 deposit it, and they'll put a hold on it until I bring in an invoice for repairs and then they cut a check. Wouldn't they HAVE to make the funds available at some point due to Reg CC? Again, the check was NOT payable to them, only myself.

1 AnswerPain & Pain Management8 years agoWhen police/sheriffs chiefs are holding press conferences regarding murders?
Last week, a woman was shot to death on her way home from work at 2am. It happened in the quiet part of town and the Sheriff's dept have been investigating. The suspect took her vehicle and tried to burn it, but it didn't work. The sheriff dept said that they have evidence collected at the scene of the crime and in the vehicle where a "feeble fire" was attempted. The sheriff would "NOT COMMENT" on key questions, like do they have a suspect or what kind of weapon was used. They are still asking people to call in with tips. IS it safe to say that they don't have a suspect and probably will not solve this case?? They called this a "random attack" so does that make it even harder to solve? It's been a week now and no suspects, not even a sketch. I'm starting to lose faith that this murder will get solved and that this family will get closure.
1 AnswerLaw Enforcement & Police8 years agoShould I let my 12 year old son play in 2 football leagues simultaneously?
He just started 7th grade and is now eligible to play for his school. For the past 3 years, he's been playing for a pretty good youth football league that is pretty competitive, has top-notch equipment, and is a high school feeder team. He started practice for the youth league a few weeks ago but now he wants play for the school that starts practice next week. Part of me wants him to so I can see him play in more games. But the other part doesn't want him to. Don't it to take a toll physically. I don't want him to burnout. Input needed.
6 AnswersFootball (American)8 years agoBeen bombing at stand-up comedy lately.?
My last 2 open mics have been horrible. It seems as though people in bars laugh at jokes about d**ks and things like that. My jokes are more about life. Do I need to sell-out and start writing more d***k jokes to get people to laugh?? I'm starting to get discouraged at this.

1 AnswerYouTube8 years agoIs there laws and liabilities to sell food at bars out of home?
If I want to make a handful of items such as tacos, burritos, hot dogs, wrap them and load them up in a cooler and go to bars and hour or so before they close to sell them, could I do this? Of course I would get permission from the bar owner. Are there any liabilities? What if I'm out in the parking lot that's public?

Everytime I turn the shower on after it's been turned off for a long time, I immediately start coughing for a few seconds. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the shower or the water coming out. Does anyone have an idea?

....it's playing the audio to the movie trailer to the Dark Knight. The one with Heath Ledger, not even the newer one. I don't know how this is happening. The other audio that I've heard was an ad or something like that. I think it was for weight loss.
1 AnswerSecurity8 years agoI have to send my car to a transmission repair shop. What is the BEST case scenario?
This morning I took my 04 Malibu Classic to a "total" repair shop because all of a sudden, I wasn't able to drive forward. I could go in reverse, but not forward. This afternoon, they told me that they have to revert it to a transmission specialist shop down the road. My reaction is, "oh great". Could someone give me a best case scenario of what this could be? I know the worst could cost a grand or more.
