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?
@approxinfinity Who you talking to?
Neil Diamond can help:
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind.
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name.
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came.
And we’d play…

@approxinfinity said in USMNT, The Next Generation:
I wish Vincent Kompany was our next coach.
A bit young and unproven in his coaching career?
Loved him as a player though!

@wissox I think we had a Red Baron one night when we were in Florida for Thanksgiving. Total vacation move!
We get Red Baron quite often because it is under $5…edible if not great…thin crust for us reduced-starch types…AND we are lazy!
That crust is inedible…lol. Go to Aldi’s and get their non frozen pizzas. It’s worth the trip.
I liked the hire. I think in some time - -things will be better for sure. - A LOT of new players, at times they have played well others not so much but do think there are better times ahead.
@Zabudda said in Not sports but when I opened this - -had to share:
@jayballer67
Holy cow and medical costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy. Hope everything works out for you.
Thanks , it’s ok thank goodness. - - everybody I tell about the cost of my one pill says WHAT? how can one pill cost that much - -it’s insane. Thank GOD for my insurance
Soft, coddled weenies!!! You must be like butter, cuz you’re on a roll! So funny!
And I like De La Torre. I’m not sure he’s the regular starter, but a good back up at the very least. But he’s had flashes of both good and bad.
I haven’t read much on the Berhalter scandal since the dumbass Reyna stuff filled the air with a nasty stench. I’ll never look at that kid the same again, sadly.
Per Pepi and any other forward we play…Maybe that guy we are chasing with ties to England will help. Still all about the same otherwise to me.
@DanR said in Totally off sports but guys check it out:
Well, apparently the Venus-Jupiter conjuction happens fairly often.
Last in 2015 and next time in 2032.
Still, new to me!
