Things You Should Know

Board game expert Ashton Wu's favorite 2-player board games include Wingspan, Patchwork, Splendor, Magic: The Gathering, and 7 Wonders Duel. If you like cooperative 2-player board games, he recommends Eldritch Horror, Sky-Team, Lost Cities, and Spirit Island. Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, according to Wu, is a great mystery game for 2 people to play through together.

There is a couple that I follow online, called Games for Two , and they've actually been featured on several games in Target and Walmart now, based on their social media channel, but they post a ton of 2-player games because it's a husband and wife duo. Anytime I'm looking for a duo game, I go and look up what they've done, and they do a great job with that.

One of the games my wife and I play that she always beats me in is called Blockus . It's a Tetris board game style game where you have to get all the pieces to fit. Card games are huge - there are so many games you can play with a deck of cards, and a lot of times, families already have that in their house. We play a couple of games, Sevens and Spoons . Any dice games are also great.

Realistically, how much weight can I safely lose in one month?
I’m starting a diet and I’m going to begin working out next week. I’m just so tired of feeling not good about myself. I’m really committed, but I am kind of worried about getting discouraged early on. I tend to quit stuff if I don’t see results right away. So, what kind of progress should I actually be looking for? I’m kind of new to all this, so I want to be realistic about it. Will I lose 10 pounds in a month? 5 pounds in a week? What kind of pace can I expect?

How do I deal with an unrequited crush?
I have had a crush on this boy since class last year, he sits by me this year and I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and I told him right before Christmas break how I felt and he turned me down :( he was really nice about it but now that we're back from break I see him all the time again and it's so hard to be around him and not have him feel the same way. I can't handle this. I feel heartbroken every single day, and I also feel stupid for telling him. I'm so sad. How do I get over this?? I don't want to like him anymore but I can't help it, I can't help hoping deep down that he will change his mind eventually but I know I shouldn't wait for that
