I have a 5 year old. For her happiness as well as mine, I hire a sitter when attending events that I don’t deem to be child-friendly. I also don’t frequent adult places when hanging out with her. It’s unfair to her to expect a child of this age to sit through a lecture on modern art or sit for hours at a coffee house.

I moved to a new town and parents here seem to not to understand this. I go for date night at a nice sushi place and parents are screaming as their kids refuse to pipe down. I go to a coffee house with work and next to the college students are women with screaming infants and toddlers. I went to the grocery store this morning. A child of about four started throwing a terrible temper tantrum and the mother started swearing at him in the middle of the store. My daughter was in the cart and I simply did not know how to respond to this. What is the right way to deal with these rude parents? I’ve joked that I should just stop wasting money on sitters, but…
I don’t consider a grocery store an "adult place." That experience is what made me come here. I have the general sense that parents who disrespect their children like that create disrespectful children. Look. There are lots of people in a store. Most parents walk around with their kids tantrum-free. I also don’t think tantrums are appropriate after a certain age. My daughter would not dare and I take her at least once a week.

I’m not rich. A sitter does not have to cost an arm and a leg. There’s a sweet girl next door who has a little sister of about 8 who adores Grace. She comes back feeling like the very mature big girl she wants to be, hot pink mani-pedi included. I pay an hour for an average of about 4 hours a week.

I’m a newly single parent working f/t no less. My kid (and the kids of most people) manage to behave.

There are exceptions, but a rested child with parents who believe in discipline and expect good behavior will generally not experience these issue

Does any one know any things to do when your bored?
Things like Sky High, Laser tag, paint balling, rock climbing, mini golf, go carts, things like that?

I know I can order the replacement parts online, but I really want to go to a store so that I can actually see all the parts and decide which ones are in good condition before I buy them.

I’m trying to build a go cart with an R1 engine and i was wondering if anyone knows of a software that i could do that on? and that has measurements too.

How can I make the most from my 3 day trip without getting over US0 pocket money? There will be 2 teens[14 and 16]and me[27]. We will be coming from Delta, Canada and we’ll be lodging at a Newark hotel. Our main reason for the trip is shopping, so where are the best places to shop designers for reasonable prices? Other than the obvius places to go[statue, esb, central park, times square, chinatown] are there other beautiful places to go in new york that won’t take up much time touring or costing too much? Also, just a random question: how much on average does a hotdog from a cart vendor cost?

I won’t be renting a car since the hotel we’ll be staying in dont have free parking and I’m not much of an urban city driver. What is the quickest way from Newark to Manhattan and also be able to take pictures and view the scenery, other than the taxi?

Are there any must sees, eats, buys or just a must place to go and don’ts in New York?

I have been wanting to build a go-cart for a very long time. I dont know where to begin. Does anyone have any suggestions for the frame, motor, or Everything? Is there anywhere i can look at a set of preexisting plans?

Well its not really a go-cart, its more like a dune buggy.It starts up fine.then you can do 1 lap and then it stalls out ,it wont start unless you push it.then try it.Then it does all over again..Help

Surely someone has come up with a good solution to this by now. I can’t put her car seat in the buggy because there would be no room for the food, she gets in the way of everything when she is in her baby sling, no grocery stores around me have infant seats in their carts. Her daddy usually does the shopping, but he has been working a lot lately due to cut backs in his office. Please help, I’m hungry! Can’t eat fast food all the time…

my parents have decided to let me race gocarts.
ive been wanting to for a while but they dont really know where to get started. whats the steps in which we need to take in order to start?
i know we need to buy a go cart. i need to know what kind is best, whats the costs and what all needs to be bought. thanks. -cheyenne.<3

it was while sara and grissom were at the indoor go cart track watching the others race, when grissom joined them and sara stayed behind

As stupid as this question sounds, it’s a serious one (yet still kinda funny…)

Lately our local Super Wal-Mart has been undergoing lots of renovations. Last week I noticed that when I pushed my cart off the tile and onto the exposed concrete, (inside the store, where the floors are being repaired) I would get a super shock in either one of my hands. You know… the kind you get from touching door knobs in the winter… times FIVE. Then it happened again a few days later when I went back for a huge box of cat litter (I needed the basket.)

I didn’t think much of it until tonight when my husband was pushing the cart around.

All of a sudden he yipped like a dog and I asked him what his problem was and he goes, "That’s the THIRD time I’ve been shocked tonight."

That was when I told him about my previous two experiences. He told me it seemed like something wasn’t grounded correctly and might be dangerous.

What do you think the deal is? We’ve shopped here for over a year and this is only really recent. Ultimately, it’s not going to keep me from shopping at my ever-so-classy Wal-Mart, but I’m just curious.

Question about Halal Food Carts in NYC?
I used to eat this everyday couple of months ago, everytime i did, i had to run to the bathroom.. and so did my friend. But we still continued eating it cause it was good.

last month i ate it again and thought i wouldnt have to go to the bathroom, but after 5 minutes of eating it, my stomach already started making noises..

is it me, or does this happen to everyone?

Could I drive them on the sidewalk to my friends house? Like an electric go-cart almost, but the the Caddilac Escaldes that little kids ride around on. I was think of making a bigger one so I could drive to my friends house about 2 mile away. Is it legal to ride that even though I am under 16. It would be electric and I live in California. Would I have to wear a helmet? What are the laws.
Thanks
Mason

NOTE: the vehcile would consist of real road car tires (small ones an electric engine, maybe 2. It would have a seat, but probably no windscreen, I mean, we are talking bare bones go cart. Just to save me pedaling and walking 2 miles. tia!

I’m applying to a mini-amusement park place. It has rides (go carts, etc…), golfing range, restaurant, batting cages, putt putt, arcades, and etc… I plan on applying as one of those people who like strap the kids on the go cart or buckle up the person who is going to rock climb. What type of position is that?
If it asks if I’m 18 years or older, can I still apply. It never says that you have to be 18 or older.
I never said I was gonna lie about my age

OKAY so the kid isnt BAD!
My brother (turning 9 this week) has a friend who is over our house CONSTANTLY (friend is also 9). My mom and step dad dont realize it but this boy influences my brother to do things that he normally wouldnt do. I’m not saying that my brother is a saint, because he isnt.

Here are a few examples:
My brother has a go-cart but he is only allowed to ride it when an adult can closely supervise and when the ground is dry (so that its not all muddy) etc.. My brother knows when its okay to ask to ride the go-cart and when its not (IE: if it just got finished raining, my brother wont ask) this is a typical convo between the two
Friend: "can you ask your mom if we can ride the go cart?"
Brother "not today, its too wet outside"
Friend "Well then i minus well just call my mom and go home if we’re not going to ride it"
And then my brother says "okay i’ll ask" and he bothers my mom for HOURS, non stop, asking to ride the thing.

More details coming
I’m 20 years old (21 next week) and my bedroom is directly accross from my brothers, so when the two kids are in his room I hear basically everything that goes on.

Now, this wouldnt be such a huge problem other than a few things.
1. I dont like my brother being pushed around like that
and
2. As well as the friend CONSTANTLY being over, I’m CONSTANTLY watching the kids. I’m sourt of like a "live in babysitter" lol. For example my mom had a dr appt today and asked me to get the kids off the bus (never told me that this friend would be coming over as well)

when my mom asks me to watch the kids so that she can go out to eat, or to the grocery store, she always forgets to mention that the friend is here too.

I’ve talked to my mom about it, telling her I probably wouldnt mind but I’d like to be prepared and that she needs to try to communicate better with me…
I’ve also shared my feelings about the friend but they’re convinced that hes a great kid!

i know this is kind of a dumb question but i just got a job and the first thing im going to buy is a go-cart for me and my bro to tear up. but i really don’t know anything about them or how to decide if one is a good deal. so if you could just look at this one and tell me if its worth the money and tell me why or if you know of a place with a better deal and product. thanks http://www.scooterdepot.us/product.php?productid=427&cat=37&page=1

I am building a Website, and 50% of the proceeds are going to go to the Charity of the Customers choice. How would I set this up? Are there any Shopping Carts out there that have this feature built in?

I insert my action replay, and it says "insert game cart". When I do that, the DS restarts, and the action replay screen is gone. It’s not supposed to do that. Is there an anti-hack on my game or is there something wrong with my action replay?

For those who don’t know what coscto is: It is a huge warehouse where they sell things in bulk, at wholesale… The aisles are 20 or 40 feet high, the shopping carts are double the size of a grocery store, unless people are using carts which are 4 times as big. Forklifts going up and down the aisles (I believe Sam’s Club is similiar)

Anyway, I go there with my mom (she has a membership) and if I so much as leave the side of her shopping cart, people cart right into me! I’ll wait patiently to cross the aisle, and no one will slow down enough for me to dart through the river of huge shopping carts. if i am standing near a sample table (where they give out samples of a food they are selling) people actually hit me with their shopping carts trying to get to the food.

if i don’t have a shopping cart, am i not a person??

Anyway long question short: does anyone else notice this?

I’m making a go cart and want to find an electric engine! Anyone know where I can get it from and how I would be able to connect it?

Not Ordinary Things Like Go Carts, Golf Carts, Mini Bikes

I am looking for a go cart track that is just that; a go cart track. My son is turning 13 next month, and I thought what a cool idea for a party. I am not even sure if there are laws about age or not. What I have in mind is just an oval-type asphalt area, I am not looking for an amusement park with go carting included. I just want to know if just an oval go cart still exsists. If so, well then me and my son are goin’ have som’ fun…

I took a look at the two maps and noticed that there is so much empty space at BOTH parks but they keep shutting down attractions like they have no space.

At Universal Studios Florida, I found the following areas suitable for attractions

Area 1: The area between E.T. and Terminator is, according to the map empty and suitable for a good attraction set in Hollywood. Maybe something with Hellboy?

Area 2: If they shut down Fievel’s Playland and rerouted Woody Woodpecker a bit, another good attraction could be put right next to the E.T. building. Maybe a Charlie Brown one like one of the attractions at the Japan park.

Area 3: Once again, the Kidzone has another spot to put an attraction, between the Animal show and the Barneyshow. If they closed the Barney show, we could have a great dark ride attraction, perhaps based on Madagascar.

Area 4: This one is huge. It the space between Simpsons and MIB. You could put two attractions here. Maybe Battlestar Galactica and Transformers could be pulled in?

Area 5: JAWS has a bunh of space suuronding it. A small attraction could go here.

Area 6: The area that’s by Beetlejuice could fit a good attraction if Beetlejuice was closed.

Area 7: This is the entire Blue Man Group building. Close it for something that the park can use, like a FATF indoor ride, that could be like Test Track and send you racing outside. Maybe some interactivity.

I still have to do IOA but I’ll shorten that by land.

Marvel Super Hero Island: There’s 2 areas here that could fit maybe an Iron Man mini-launched coaster and maybe a small Thor ride.

Toon Lagoon: This one has three areas that could fit a Rocky and Bullwinkle dark ride by that theater place next to Spidey, a Beetle Bailey attraction and maybe a rockin’ tug based on Hagrid the Horrible.

Jurassic Park: Harry Potter took one of its spaces, but this land still has 4 HUGE spaces. This land is the least developed but is the biggest land. For here, they could shut down Pteranodon Flyers and then put a REAL coaster in themed to Pteranodons. Then, make an indoor Jeep ride like Indiana Jones, except themed to dinos. A kiddie ride themed to dinos could also be added.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Here they could pretty much just add a flat ride or two.

Lost Continent: Ah, here they now need a new crowd pleaser as no one is gonna pay a lot of cash so that they can see Poseidon’s Fury. So take some of the lake and theme it to an indoor Minotaur coaster, It would b a wild mouse, so it would be family-orientaned.

Seuss Landing: Here they got 4 spaces as well. Behind the Cat in the Hat, a Horton ride could be added. A Lorax dark ride could go in that huge space between Seuss and Lost Continent. A Grinch coaster like the Matterhorn could go by the lake portion of Seuss.

Finally, THE LAKE!!!
Did you notice that IOA never uses the lake. Sure, they used to, but now nothing’s going on. So, they can put in a….

NINTENDO WORLD

Here we would have a state of the art Mario dark ride that is thrilling. Maybe you could ride on a mine cart through the sewers up to Bowser’s castle. Also, a Legend of Zelda mostly indoors water coaster would be added. A Pokemon play area, Yoshi go-karts, a Donkey Kong indoor show, and Kirby balloon race would also be here.

Tell me what you think and your ideas.

We need the following clutch for our ez go golf cart, but they go for around 200 which is way beyond our budget. I’m wondering if there’s something compatible or a way to find one cheap. Thanks in advance for any help to those who know about this sort of thing.

Factory Part # 23191-G1

We have a 1995 E Z Go Golf Cart. We bought it used and are trying to fix it up for our daughter. Of course with it being used and I am sure with most people on the driver side it is going to lean. We tried new springs and that did not work. We were told shocks would not help. How do we fix this? It noticeably leans to the driver side. Help us try to figure out what is wrong with it.

Thanks
I AM LOOKING FOR A SERIOUS ANSWER. THIS IS NOT A FAT JOKE! MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIX THIS BEFORE WE GIVE IT TO OUR DAUGHTER. SMART REMARKS ARE NOT NEEDED. THANK YOU
