OT: Off Topic 2018 part III - Here comes the heat again

[Chief Nine]

I wonder if the stunt guy for Belushi in that scene said " You want me to fall down the stairs while trapped in a school desk? Sure, no problem!"

 

[LSCII]

Well just got a voicemail. Didn't get the job. so I will continue to work the 11 hour workdays here.

ugh that sucks I thought I was in.

Sorry to hear that Scott.

 

[Scotto74]

Sorry to hear that Scott.

Thanks.

Stuff happens for a reason so it was not meant to be. Life goes on.

Yep, that's how I look at things as well.

I'm a lefty. Write and throw left handed. Play most sports righty. Bat right, hockey right, golf right. Can write with either hand, and can actually play golf and baseball lefty if I wanted. I still plan on playing a full round of golf with lefty clubs at some point, just for shits and giggles.

If I ever have a son I'm going to tie his right arm behind his back and teach him how to throw a curveball lefty.

Sounds like child abuse - making him play baseball, that is.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Time to fly home!

Doesn't have to even be great. Marginal left handed pitchers make a very nice living in MLB...

Well, I don't know where this thread went, or where it's going, but fwiw:

For those who want to investigate Lady Soul, check "30 Greatest Hits." A good place to start.

Brian Wilson used to say that music is the voice of God. Aretha is a testament to that sentiment.

It is a off topic thread. Where is it supposed to go?

About a month ago the camera in my phone stopped working. I googled all sorts of things to try to reset it, no luck. Finally after work I decided to stop by the Verizon store. I'm not intimidated by technology, but I always hate going in those stores. Thankfully there was hardly any customers so I got helped right away. I am now thankful I paid for the warranty, got burned on my last phone because I didn't have it. A replacement phone is being shipped to my house, arriving tomorrow.

I also stopped at Chicken Salad Chick. They had a new recipe that is fantastic and it was double rewards day.

I'm a happy camper.

...... When does hockey season start? Or at least captains practices???

Our Cross Canada move begins tomorrow, our condo looks like it`s being occupied by minimalists. Not going to lie, for as much as I like my "stuff", having sent it all out West last week, the past 7 days have really showed me that I could easily live with less in my life.

Our original plan was to make a stop in Kelowna to visit the sister in law but if those fires are still raging by that time, we`ll just bypass it. I don`t want anyone to worry about my posting here, the laptop is coming so you shall not be relieved of my daily contributions which I know all clamour for

We shall miss NS and all the wonderful friends we have made here. I won`t miss the terrible winters and far too short golf season

 

[LouJersey]

I live a few towns over from where I went to school, and it's amazing most of the bullies I grew up with are dead, can't hold a job or still the same. I have run into a couple of the past thirty years and it's funny how they act now that I'm 6 foot 240 or whatever and not 5-6 145 lol.

Can you stay on topic please.

That's an awesome CD, every track is outstanding.

Best of luck Andrew. Speaking from (very) recent experience, it will be both a stressful and exceedingly rewarding experience. Enjoy everything you see along the way. There's even beauty in the endless plains before you get to the Rockies. Be safe, and let us know when you've arrived safely.

My son went to Colgate, and she performed there in 2016, and I was able to attend.
Can't say I'm a big fan, but like some of her songs. She was a good entertainer. RIP.

This dude is missing the places in his life where he can love himself more and feel joy.

I have been in that same situation and have run into bullies years later--interesting to find out that they are struggling in their own lives.

Energy begets energy and you get back what you give. The law of attraction doesnt lie.

Also....forgiveness makes space for joy and better energy. If this dude continues to hold on to grief he will die a very unhappy man.

Absolutely...What weight is lifted when you give forgiveness. Amazing feeling.

So today is the first casual Friday that my new assistant has been employed for.

The outfit? Ripped jeans and a tshirt that says "Day Drinker"
