Legally that's not going to be a factor in most cases.

I think even in SYG states the fact the other person appears to be backing up would be enough to consider that a reasonable person would not feel they are still in danger. In addition he was pushed but not punched or kicked, even when he went to the ground, which would indicate there was not an imminent assault.

Because what constitutes self defense is also determined by what is in the law. FWIW this isn't a component only of stand your grand laws. Most laws on justifiable use of deadly force rely on someone acting on their *reasonable* belief that they are or another are in imminent danger. The SYG laws differ as they do not require the person to consider if they can safely retreat. IMO the issue is that what is considered reasonable is too broad.

Anything dark will work. My boys wore either black, gray or dark blue.

In general insurance follows the car, not the driver. If someone is driving your car their insurance can possibly come into play as secondary coverage. I believe (not 100% certain) that if they are named on the policy then their insurance cannot come in as secondary (that sounds right but I am not sure if it is correct/varies by state but I don't have time to look it up). The lady driving your kids is a habitual user of your vehicle. If you did not add her and there was an accident, your insurance company could deny the claim. And yes, your adding her only covers her on vehicles under your policy.

I remember single serve Chef Boyardee containers in 1990. I believe there was a Mac'n'Cheese version but not 100% sure.

Amazon gave us a notice last year when we had saved enough in shipping to justify having Prime. I think it took us until around October (we aren't big Amazon users), but combined with the streaming it is worth it. DMIL has figured out having family with Prime is the same as having Prime lol. We order and ship to her and she settles up when we visit. For an 80+ year old with limited tech skills she has figured out a lot of life hacks.

Oh, just wait until Season 3! Great series.

Just some clarifications: 1.) Cooperstown hosts a national tournament, not a league. There is no "league organizer" to CC. 2.) The Cooperstown facility is set up like a camp. There are 3 adult coaches/chaperones per team in the camp. They don't allow additional adults both due to space and security. 3.) The coach cannot give permission for additional adults to stay in the athletes area. If her DH is not one of the coaches, then it is not an option for him as I doubt the coach of the travel team would make someone else quit as a coach to accommodate a parent. To the OP: Your DH will have a lot more interaction with your DS than you seem to think, but it is an intense tournament and there are lots of games. The teams usually do a lot together in the down time.

They would sue the facility which has insurance/deeper pockets, not the 17/18 year old.

Actually that may not happen, at least not without issue. There is a specific process to getting a home mortgage cleared, part of which includes getting a payoff quote and sending in a wire transfer/cashier's check. I strongly advise following the exact instructions sent by the bank or there is the distinct possibility of either an additional auto draft, or if that is shut off, a "missed" payment on a negative balance. We had this occur with a 2nd mortgage in the past and it was a pain. (In our defense the payoff paperwork didn't show up and we assumed the last payment being more than the payoff would keep us from having issues. Wrong.)

The number of deaths due to accidental injuries for children has fallen significantly over time. https://www.childtrends.org/?indicators=unintentional-injuries\ Excerpts: "Between 1981 and 1992, the rate of deaths due to injuries among all children ages birth through 19 fell by nearly 36 percent." "Rates declined at a slower pace between 1992 and 2007, falling from 17 to 14 deaths per 100,000 population. However, between 2007 and 2010 there were greater declines—a drop of 25 percent over three years. After 2010, fatalities from unintentional injuries continued to decline, but at a slower rate. In 2012, there were 10 child and youth deaths per 100,000 population caused by unintentional injuries."

Except what she actually said was: She snorted and said “is this question because of something you read on your board? My friends aren’t into that, Mom. That stuff is stupid..â€. Taking out the "my friends aren't into that" changes the meaning a great deal.

I personally interpret people making the same odd interpretations as hive group think so it doesn't mean anything to me. You still haven't explained why Jean's daughter saying her friends aren't into bullying is diminishing victims.

You are interpreting the daughter's comment rather oddly. Some teens are into bullying others. She said that bullying is stupid and her friends are not into it. That doesn't say anything about victims of bullying. I simply cannot see how what the daughter said is controversial or diminishes victims.

Much better. Now why is the daughter saying hazing is stupid and her friends are not into it so awful?

Read my additional post. Teens do engage/participate in cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying is something Jean's daughter and friends can commit, but she is staying they don't participate in it. Sexual assault is something they would be victims of, and therefore they do not choose participation.

That doesn't make sense as assault isn't something you are "in to" so your comparison is faulty.

FWIW Ally Bank seems to have the best short-term CD rates I have seen. 2% on 12 month, 1.85% on 9, and 1.75% on 6. I think the 12 month does have a high minimum to get that rate but the other two are available for $5k deposits. I personally would not hold any CDs with a maturity beyond 12 months in the current interest rate environment.

Some states do require background checks at gun shows. Others do not. Federal law only requires licensed dealers to conduct background checks. There are also no requirements for private party sales. And yes, I have friends who have made purchase at gun shows without background checks. DH also was able to do so but ended up not making the purchase.

You are making a leap in logic that seems unfounded. Someone saying they believe tighter gun regulations will make our schools safer /= them believing they will stop all mass shootings.

Part of the expansion can (and should) include fixing some of the issues we have with reporting. Of course the system we have would likely be better/less piecemeal if a certain 3 letter organization had not fought background checks rabidly back in the 90s. FWIW I don't believe anyone has claimed expanding background checks would eliminate all mass shootings so I don't see why you keep bringing that up.
