He wants to control your showers. Come on. You’re ok with this relationship? I can imagine what I’d be thinking if my SO tried to tell me what when to get clean, and it was only twice a week. LoL. Glad you’re happy with him
No. I didn't realize the awkwardness of my comment and my handle until you mentioned that. I don't consider Country Slaughter a hero, just a great baseball name.
True story: I met him. In 1994. He was old. It was at a two-day event where I was a guest, with about two dozen great former baseball stars. Slaughter was probably the oldest one. I was trying to meet everyone so I went to shake his hand despite my knowledge of his past. It was so comical; I was starting to ask him a question and he just ignored me and launched into a stereotypical rant about how modern players don’t care about baseball like we old timers did. Every time I remember it I smile/chuckle a bit.
I lived right across the road from the courthouse for 11 years. It was a long time ago (early 90s), but I believe there are places to get food without getting into your car. You probably have to walk across Old Country Road to get to them, but there's a traffic light.
I can’t imagine how exhausting it would be to have a ton of money such that I wanted to move to a nicer residence, buy all new clothes and furniture, etc etc, on top of meeting with financial advisors and accountants and attorneys, and arranging for personal security…
If you have a par 72 course, and you had 8 pars, two birdies, and 8 bogeys, you’d have a 78. All he said was one quad, which is three over bogey, so he’s up to 81. And that’s it. He didn’t say anything about any doubles or triples. Something does not add up here.
My scorecard is posted if you want to check it out. I got to 10 and realized I was only 4 over and the heart started pounding haha there were some blowup holes on the back 9
The guy who was the inspiration for Catch Me If You Can has built an entire multimillion dollar enterprise out of lying about working for the FBI after they caught him forging checks, which he mostly lied about how successful he was. He basically became successfully about lying about how good his is at lying about being successful.
I’m not saying he didn’t fake being a con man. Someone said he faked the fact that he worked for the FBI - that’s what I commented on. I mean, he either did or did not work for the FBI. That’s not fake-able
What the hell does this have to do with Boomers? This guy’s problem wasn’t that he was a Boomer. It’s that he was a fucking lunatic. Of which there are many in all age groups.
I don’t really need a lot of money, and I’m old… but money is nice and if it were a gentle, non-threatening situation that was safe, I’d think about it.
Totally valid. I don’t care about getting it in 2 or 3 so it works for me. I will say that the example I gave above was based on the only game I’ve actually lost in recent memory. I can’t remember the exact sequence of guesses, but it was something like
You’re protecting against a very rare occurrence and relinquishing opportunities to lower your average score, though I guess you don’t care about that. What’s your goal in playing?
Seems like a pretty meager goal. You yourself said you’ve only lost one game in recent memory. Most people very rarely lose. It’s like a golfer going to a practice green and feeling happy because he made 100 one-foot putts in a row. But the reason he made 100 in a row is because the difficulty factor is almost zero.
What do you mean, you “shouldn’t have to” work more than 40 hours a week? Your first responsibility is to yourself. You do what you have to do to get as close to the lifestyle you want as you can get. But you’re not owed anything in life. It’d be great if we all had certain guarantees, but we don’t.
But… BA with RISP isn’t a very meaningful stat for just a single season. There aren’t enough AB’s to overcome small sample-size issues. I think you’d find, with a robust-enough study, that hitters’ overall BA across multiple full seasons will track pretty closely to BA with RISP.
Doctors usually aren’t involved in the price? I’ve never in my entire practice been on the deciding end of price. Maybe you should do your research before posting? There’s a thought.
I think if every president since George Washington had the sensibility and grace and good intentions that George Washington had, everything about this country would be better.
I feel the same way about people who say “FDR’s economic policy.” A parrot in a cage could have been elected president, and the United States would have pulled out of the Great Depression just as fast - if not faster. The
Well… I’ll try to say this briefly… deficit spending by the federal government is good for the economy. That is money that is out there working in the economy. Every single time in U.S. history the budget was balanced, a severe economic downturn shortly followed.
Exactly! i genuinely wanted to know what people thought about the piercings and it was interesting to see how even those who normally don't like piercings like them on me specifically. I see hating as a reflection of the hater rather than myself. I love my look and that's what matters the most :3 and more people liked with the piercings than without which is what i was leaning towards too so it was validating :)
Well, I heartily disagree. “Most people.” Yeah right. “Mfw.” Why don’t you just take 5 seconds to spell it out so everyone gets it? Trust me, everyone doesn’t get it. If you want to exclude everyone who doesn’t get it because you think they’re stupid or square, that’s on you. Your message is not getting thru to a lot of people

He was an incredibly great player, with career stats handicapped by not entering the majors until age 28
Was Country Slaughter a hero to you? Just curious.

There's no dress code for jury duty, even when you're on an actual jury. Jeans, t-shirts, etc. are allowed.
Really? T-shirts in court? That's surprising to me.

What's interesting is that
He “still insists”… as much as he can I guess after being dead for 30 years.

Did you not see that 9 on there?

Somehow I missed seeing the card, I was only going by the text in your post. Apologies.
Yuck. Thanks for the heads up. I think I’ll skip the show. The book was too great to be disrespected on screen in the manner you described
She certainly had the most musical usage of “prerogative”

But he actually did work for the FBI, I believe. How could you fake that?
I remember watching his interview on Johnny Carson. It’s on YouTube. He’s a really good convincing liar.
I’m not saying he didn’t fake being a con man. Someone said he faked the fact that he worked for the FBI - that’s what I commented on. I mean, he either did or did not work for the FBI. That’s not fake-able
This is so dumb. I don’t like Chapman but come on lmao
How do you know it’s dumb? I didn’t see any report about what he said to the ump. Did you?
2 games for hurt feelings seems excessive.
Was it reported what was said?

Oh shit this is the first time I ran into a fellow Mets subber in the wild.
Stop being depressed. This team is gonna kick ass. I feel it in my bones.

My goal is to guess the word in fewer than 6 guesses. Is there a prize for lowest average guesses? Are there tournaments?
Seems like a pretty meager goal. You yourself said you’ve only lost one game in recent memory. Most people very rarely lose. It’s like a golfer going to a practice green and feeling happy because he made 100 one-foot putts in a row. But the reason he made 100 in a row is because the difficulty factor is almost zero.
Don’t worry about the 6’s. You have 38 losses!

I think the best two best uses of batting average are BA w/ RISP and a pitcher's BAA.
But… BA with RISP isn’t a very meaningful stat for just a single season. There aren’t enough AB’s to overcome small sample-size issues. I think you’d find, with a robust-enough study, that hitters’ overall BA across multiple full seasons will track pretty closely to BA with RISP.
Your curiosity doesn’t entitle you to peer inside a family’s privacy.
They were all sawed in half while training.
And cricket is nothing like baseball
Can’t really say it’s “nothing” like baseball. Players smack a ball with a stick.
I don’t get paid based on tests I order. In fact, the faster I get someone out of my ER, the more money I make, ironically.
You’re telling me it’s a myth that overprescribed tests and procedures aren’t a leading cause of medical inflation?

You don’t know how you make your money? My brother is in a radiology practice. Of course they set their pricing.

All of OP's words are English.
lol. What BS.
You do realize what sub you're on? Random BS situations are pretty much the whole point.
There are different levels of BS. Enough said
Nothing would change except maybe there would be more hippos because it would be easier for them to fuck

If you love your look, why are you asking internet strangers how to improve it?
gonna be honest with you i literally did not ask... i asked for opinions on nose rings not my makeup choices so this opinion is irrelevant :)
Are you aware that you have hundreds of downvotes in your various posts in this thread? Everyone disagrees with you, for whatever it’s worth to you
Yes most ppl on reddit would prob know that acronym
