I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?

Honestly I believe this to be generally true. For all the bad things you can point to, there are positive things about living now compared to a hundred+ years ago.
At the risk of bringing up politics when I saw the 90 day pause I placed a large tea order from Fortnum and Mason. I will say if you are a tea drinker (I always have been, I know some prefer coffee) Fortnum tea is truly bucket list stuff and it really isn’t badly priced compared to other premium tea options.
UConn Women’s BB just won national championship
This is their 12th title under Geno A, incredible performance.
They beat 3 #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament this year.
They beat teams by 30 + points, total dominance.
Paige Beckers will most likely be #1 pick in WNBA draft, just heard her interview with Holly Row, very humble individual.
@rockchalkjayhawk not real sure what you’re so worked up about. I LIKE napping to golf. The announcers speak in hushed monotone voices and its conducive to good naps. Sorry my nap routine is so upsetting ro you.
RSV is nasty, my son had it really bad a few years ago and was hospitalized. Glad you are feeling better, RSV is worse than the flu or covid in our house
@wissox thank you, it’s been a tough week. And seeing her dragged through the mud because the White House was talking out of their posterior didn’t help
Everyone lost.- -It had Olympic figure skaters from Russia they had been in Wichita for the event. Coach’s trainers, and family members of skates. Wichita holding a vigil at noon today- -67 people GONE
@Texas-Hawk-10 That sounds really nice. - -I think we will be just fine with him as a Coach sounds like he has done a really good job.- - Probably recruits pretty well too with that kind of record
A few more words of praise for Camel Up. It sounds like something you guys might enjoy based upon the games you listed @kjayhawks . You are betting on camels and every round you can bet on which one you think will be in front at rounds end. Each camel has a die that is rolled each round but the order the dice come out is random and the camels can stack, so one camel can carry others! Its a sneaky math and probability game. Simple enough to be fun for all ages.
Happens for KU basketball too. KU recruits a guy and his ranking goes up. KU backs off and it usually goes down. It makes sense that the best performing universities also do a good job of scouting talent - if they hope to have success they better be better than the ranking systems.
@SlimShaddy54 ouch. Ive had pneumonia one time before and i think i caught it earlier this time, that sounds about how i remember it last time. Jello sounds good.
Huge win for the Ladies, honestly I thought we was done, when we went down 11-12 in the 3rd quarter.- -Ya that girl was 6’6 and big , you wasn’t moving her once she posted deep that’s for sure. - - Smya with 26 for the good guys & Copeland with a huge three at the end.- -we only made 2- 10 three’s for the game but the last one was huge obviously.- - Ku now 10-1 on the year. Great Job ladies , way to stay with it.
