Daughter is looking for tips so I said I’d ask the internet. She’s a 7th grader and its her first year of eligibility for middle school cheer. She is pretty decent, needs some work but overall I think has a better than average shot. She’s kind, polite and well groomed and has done a little pop warner cheer in the past. The first day she crushed it, led cheers after not needing to learn them cause she watched games from last year on Youtube and did excellent using her back base experience. She was so so thrilled and was getting alot of positive attention from the HS kids and adults judging.

Today, however, they worked on a fairly complex dance and jumps and she is concerned she didnt do as well and made a few faces when she messed up. She saw one coach frown a little and start writing when she made a face after messing up and it wrecked her. She finished up but her confidence is now shot.

She’s number one because she got the early and was ready to work. So she had to watch 51 other girls after her and was just convinced that she ruined her chances.

Tomorrow is the final day. Out of 51, only 22 can make it and that number includes 8th grade returners.

I have no experience here at all! Like not a bit. Any tips for her to stand out in a good way or recover? I dont think she’s cooked after just one messup when she performed so well but I don’t know this world. Help please.🥹

Patrick’s testimony has been devastating for the civil cases. He knew (almost) nothing and saw nothing. How on earth were her providers to know, for example, that she took only two or three of most of the meds prescribed to her before summarily announcing they weren’t working because she was chasing the feeling of the benzos she actually wanted? How were they to be responsible when she told them and him she had no plan for suicide and wasn’t feeling that way anymore? Or that she checked herself out of inpatient and declined treatment at McClean in favor of going home several times?

The children and the medical providers wrongfully accused are the only ones I’ve felt badly for. Patrick’s testimony confirms my opinion.

Hey Charlotte! I made the tragic error of inviting a friend out for her birthday without any frigging clue where to take her lol. We are 40's professional, African American women. Married Moms/College friends but want to have some fun. I was looking at Farenheit or the other rooftop bars but it's approximately 9,000 degrees outside.

Any suggestions for somewhere a bit upscale with a good vibe for some middle aged lady harmless fun? I pick her up at 7:30😫😁

ETA: looking in/around Uptown!

ETA: You all are AMAZING! Thank you so much. We are going to randomly choose a restaurant and try out Sym after... the we will keep working down the list you gave. Ya'll rock!

Sigh. On a vacation to the tropics I have been looking SO forward to for weeks and luckily my intramural fibroid decided that it's best to make me look six months pregnant and bloated 😞. I just pushed my belly all the way out and owned it. Sigh*

So much for all the cute outfits I put together after the hard work of losing 30 pounds. Might as well give a little waddle and look cute.

Only hurts since one more baby was all I wanted.

Severely underwhelmed by there only being two muted color Jumbo prints available currently. Has anyone seen them expand the options after initial release or release different prints to boutiques? There are some bright fun prints in the smaller sizes but the jumbos are just so dreary. Thanks!
