#baseball

Az a célom, hogy én legyek a legszebb a buszmegállóban. 😅 Máshol nem látnak az emberek, mert munkahelyemen nem sok választási lehetőség van, hogy nézzek ki. Fekete pirosban kell lenni. De én elszoktam csalni, van, hogy csak feketében vagyok. De tegnap még ezt is elcsaltam, mert szürkében voltam. Nekem ne mondja meg senki. 😂 Hát meg is látszott a hangulatomon. Legalább 6 óriás tükör van a boltban, szóval akár merre mentem csak azt láttam, hogy de ronda vagyok. 🤦‍♀️ Hagyjuk a szürkét inkább, azt a nacit, azzal a felsővel soha többet. Nevettem is mikor megjött a kérdésed. xd
Nem vagyok benne biztos, hogy mindig megismernek. Mindennap másik kabát van rajtam. Másik cipővel, táskával, figyelek rá, hogy ugyanúgy ne nagyon legyen kombinálva egy - egy szett. Máshogy áll a hajam, valamikor szemüvegben indulok el otthonról, valamikor nélküle. Valamikor van rajtam baseball sapka, valamikor nincs. Van, hogy nagyon nőcis vagyok, van, hogy elkérnék a személyim a dohányboltban, ha dohányoznék.😅 Ma kellett kompenzálnom a legnőcisebb kabimmal, ami csak anyagra más. Plusz titkárnős szemüveg. Aztán beérek a boltba és átvedlek trampliba. 🤣

La nostalgia è uno dei più grandi punti deboli di un essere umano.

---

Seconda solo all'osso del collo.

Ti risparmio la parte sul baseball ma sono abbastanza d'accordo con Dwight.
Personalmente penso che quando fa capolino in mezzo ai ricordi, dovrebbe suonare una sirena e srotolarsi lo striscione con su scritto: it's a trap.
Poi ognuno decide cosa fare ma almeno un warning ci vorrebbe.
Non perché sia una vera fregatura però è un incontro ravvicinato che ti porta via sempre un po' di più di quello che avevi messo in conto e purtroppo te ne rendi conto solo quando torni a casa.
Generalmente sei consenziente, ma magari non proprio consapevole.
Come quando ti fermano per venderti il fantomatico braccialetto della fortuna/accendino/5 paia di calzini, che tanto già lo sai che non li compri però una vocina dentro ti dice "fermati dai, che è gentile" e ti sembra onesto barattare il tuo "no no grazie" con un caffè.
Che poi diventa il panino.
E alla fine torni a casa con una batteria di pentole metà felice metà che sai che se attraversavi un metro prima era meglio.
La nostalgia è così.
Come il sonaglio nella coda del serpente.
Come i filtri di instagram.
Come gli specchi deformanti al luna park:
tu sei sempre tu,
la realtà pure,
ma ciò che vedi è diverso e sembra sempre meno peggio. E questo frega una po', forse.
Nel dubbio, io la prendo a piccole dosi.

I am assuming you are referring to a 12 year old female using an internet connection to talk to men?

---

1. Explain the dangers to your daughter and make sure she understands that some men are perverts who are only interested in sex.
2. Set the rules of internet activity and make certain that she understands the consequences for her behavior (no smartphone, no computer, etc)
3. DO NOT use the computer and internet as a babysitter!!
4. Get your daughter involved in activities so she does not sit in her bedroom all day talking to perverts.
5. Talk to your internet provider about methods and applications used to monitor your daughters online activity and set time limits where she can only connect when you are home say for 2 hours and then her internet connection is disabled.
6. Put her computer or smartphone in the kitchen or some place that is visible where you can look over her shoulder and monitor.

Our 15 year old daughter uses the internet to text girlfriends and draw art and upload to instagram. I have access to all of her applications including instagram.

---

MOST IMPORTANT: Keep your daughter involved in healthy activities and keep her away from peers who are self destructive, abused, drug addicts or sexually active. Remember you are what you eat and your behaviors are influenced (good or bad) by those people you associate with.

---

Our daughter is an honor roll student who is kept busy with:
- math lessons
- reading lessons with emphasis on comprehension
- private art lessons
- violin lessons
- piano lessons
- golf lessons and golf tournaments
- plays violin in youth symphony
- plays violin in church youth group with parents
- Plays golf with dad
- We bike ride together
- We take our daughter and her friends to movies, baseball games, museums.

Summary:
My wife and I are active in our daughters life to the point where we meet with the vice principle to discuss and arrange her course curriculum each year. We interact with our daughter every day and we drive her to and from school. Because we love our daughter we refuse to allow the school, society, or her peers to manipulate and control her behavior and so we work with her to set realistic goals and objectives. In other words, we succeed or fail as a family and are not absentee parents.

---

Being a parent in today's corrupt society is probably the most difficult thing you will ever have to doin your entire life. There are so many distractions and evil people lurking and waiting to corrupt and destroy your children. And so you must be active, dedicated, vigilant and aware 24x7x365. For it takes a life time to train and prepare your children for success and only one minute for them to become a victim.

---

Yes being a parent is difficult and exhausting, but in the end, it will be well worth the effort. /Alex

None.
My best friend from high school passed away in 2021. We hung out together, played music and golf together and even attended baseball games together. When he died, half of me also died with him. What's so difficult about losing your best friend is that it takes a lifetime to cultivate, nourish and grow that type of genuine friendship, and sadly it takes only moments for the relationship to end. I think that is why some people are afraid to fall in love. They worry about losing the person they love and so they make a decision to live a life full of superficial relationships knowing that when such a relationship ends, the pain and suffering will be bearable.

---

And do you know what is the greatest pain of all? It is not simply the fact that your best friend has died, or that you cannot communicate with your friend, or the possibility that you might never see them again. Oh no... the greatest suffering is caused by the reality that you are forgetting them. The memories are fading and you can no longer differentiate the real from the imagined. And after a while you begin to question whether or not your past experiences were real or simply a fantasy or a dream that makes you smile once in a while as you sit alone and in silence recalling that which you believe to be true, but now doubt. And it is that doubt that begins to eat away at your soul and slowly drives you to despair. For what is the meaning of our life, if our memories fade from view and our illusions become real.

Hello Yentl.
No I do not use any music streaming services.
I prefer to purchase and download mp3 files that I own and can listen to independent of a reliable internet connection. Also, I like the idea that whenever I purchase music the composer and musicians get royalties. I have met many people who literally steal thousands of songs from the internet and are proud of their behavior. However, as a musician, I find that behavior to be unethical and criminal, and that is why I do not support it under any circumstance.

---

It seems that in every profession (doctor, lawyer, teacher, plumber, electrician, etc) people expect to get paid a fair wage. But when is involves musicians, too many people believe that because the musicians are having fun and enjoying themselves, they do not deserve to get paid for having fun, right?
Do we apply the same logic to professional soccer players? No
Do we apply the logic to professional baseball players or doctors or automobile mechanics? No we do not.
And yet music that musicians compose and perform is stolen by thousands of people all across the world and then these same people claim that that stolen music is their favorite music and they would be upset if the band broke up and yet are perfectly content to not pay the musicians for their blood, sweat and tears.

---

People need to remember that most great musicians have studied privately for at least 10 years and have thousands of dollars invested in equipment, recording and travel expenses. Plus, great musicians have practiced for at least 10,000 hours before their audience hears them for the first time. And then to not get paid for their effort? That is a crime.

---

Sorry for the rant, but hopefully whomever reads this will understand that musicians perform music not simply because they love music, but also to earn a living. Ant other musicians out there who wish to comment on this post, please express your opinion on this issue and post it. Thanks.

I played football in high school where we were state champs for a few years in our division. The truth is that I do not watch much television anymore and prefer to either play golf or attend minor league baseball games. About four miles from my house I can watch the Phillies minor league team play or travel about 10 miles to watch the Toronto Blue Jays minor league team play for about $6.00/ticket. My oldest son is a huge football fan and particularly a New England Patriots fan and a Tampa Bay fan. So whenever we spend time together he likes to discuss football with me.

---

Steph, I guess my music occupies most of my time and it is what I love doing most of all. I still get a kick performing live with a band. I guess I am still a child stuck inside an adult body wanting to play guitar. :)

---

I know you are both a music fan and a football/baseball fan correct? If I visit someone and they are watching football I will sit and watch the game and enjoy watching the players executing plays that we attempted back in high school.

Sometimes. It depends upon whether or not I believe I have the requisite skill set or knowledge to help them. If it involves family members, yes I will spend time with them to recreate or to share knowledge with them or take them to their appointments. If it involves people I meet on the internet, I will share my thoughts, poems, music and insight with them and I might decide to offer advice if I believe they are about to make a decision where they might suffer physical or psychological damage. What I refuse to do is to spend my time trying to make other people happy. Making other people happy is NOT my responsibility!

---

Unfortunately, many people I have attempted to help do not want to change their behavior and in those specific cases I will use an old baseball rule: " 3 strikes and your out." Why? Because my personal time is valuable and I do not want to waste it when people refuse to change but insist that I help them. So at this point in my life, I do my best to not waste my time and instead I invest my time doing those activities that I enjoy.

---

Abraham Lincoln once said: "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

---

If you are not happy, you need to ask yourself why you are unhappy and then YOU need to take the necessary steps to makes yourself happy. If you expect other people to make you happy, you will always be disappointed and in a constant state of inner conflict, depression and unhappiness.

▸〚Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴅᴀᴅ〛
Es una persona un tanto compleja. Incluso antes del apocalipsis, Deacon ha sufrido mucho y eso es algo que se puede notar. Se le describe como “roto” después de haber perdido tanto. Se aferra a los viejos tiempos, cuando vivía guiándose base por un código, hermandad y camaradería, extrañando el sentido de pertenencia que tuvo alguna vez. Todas aquellas experiencias negativas lo han hecho un individuo sumamente agresivo con los extraños o forasteros que se acercan a él sin una intención clara. Recibir órdenes de otros le molesta bastante, y no tiende a medir sus palabras; pero también es una persona muy leal dispuesta a sacrificar todo lo que le queda por aquellos quienes le importan. Vela exhaustivamente por sus amigos, incluso aventurándose a lo desconocido para conseguirles cualquier cosa.

---

A pesar de todo, Deacon puede ser bastante relajado y sarcástico incluso, haciendo bromas y chistes con los que tiene una buena relación. Está bastante alejado de ser cruel.

Currently I am partaking in competitive swimming as well as just slightly baseball. Swimming accounts for 4 days a week and baseball just one day a week. Used to be a lot bigger on baseball and play rep but am not just playing it with some friends. During rep for baseball over the summer, typically 5 days a week would include baseball whether it was a game, tournament or practice. Also wanted to get more into tennis to play with my dad again. It's been quite awhile since I last picked up a racket.
Now a days I'm more into esports. Require less movement and less prone to injuries. My body took a beating when I played football as a child and now at 25 I move around like I'm much older. Although in college I played in some intramural sports competitively from indoor soccer and dodgeball, which I was pretty decent at. Got a pretty decent shinner playing dodgeball that looked like someone beat me half to death those foam balls could pack a punch.
I can hit it a whole hell of a lot further, but she’s much more consistent so we both end up somewhere in the 80s. I win about 7/10, but some rounds she’s just on fire and can’t miss a put or a chip. I can’t chip to save my life, so it makes rounds pretty fun and competitive.
Before My injury, I played sports at minimum 4x a week. Usually on mondays, wednesdays, and or fridays after work for at least 2 hours. On saturdays I played at least 4. On sundays I played about 8-12 hours depending on when I finish or how I’m feeling. I played a combination of kickball, flag football (gridiron), rugby, and ultimate frisbee. Sometimes I’d just shoot hoops if I was bored. And no. I just played pickup games with friends. There wasn’t a season. I haven’t played an organized sport since college/university.
I used to play roller derby, but the time commitment was massive because my city didn’t have a recreational league. There are players who never do make the A or B teams but you’re still practicing 3 times a week regardless, and either playing or staffing bouts every other week (and traveling!) It’s kind of crazy to never play competitive sports and suddenly you’re on the B team of a national league.
Not to say people don’t (especially as a gay person gay softball is pretty popular), but I will say generally most people I know haven’t played an organized competitive sport since high school. If you’re talking for casual fun, my boyfriend and I played tennis yesterday. I’ve never been the greatest at basketball, but that is generally a default game to play and fairly easy to (pre covid) get a pick up game going.
I used to play basketball until 1992. I started refereeing in 1984 and have continued to this day. Took up wheelchair basketball refereeing in 1997 and achieved my international licence in 2004. Am starting to learn wheelchair rugby from this afternoon at a national tournament!

Indoor stuff. It's supposed to rain today, and I was supposed to go to a baseball game, then visit a museum tomorrow. Switch museum to today, baseball game to tomorrow. They're giving away free hats tomorrow, too.
The other week it was storming when I got home from work late. I was in a bit of a frisky mood for my boyfriend. Did some mattress mambo while it was pouring and thundering. Not gonna lie, was pretty solid.
Sitting on my best friends front porch in Denver, stoop drinking, and people watching. Or snuggling up with someone and watching a movie.
Either going out in the rain or sitting in my attic room, hearing the rain drumming on the roof and windows. I open the windows a crack and let the house breathe. I also make sure I step out and experience it, preferably barefoot. I love rain.
If it's a heavy storm (high winds, lightning, heavy rain etc.) I'll sit outside with some cover so I don't get wet. Put on some nice relaxing music and just watch the storm. So relaxing.
I guess it depends on how gory you want to get. This one might be hard to find but Headhunter by Michael Slade is a great book - the ending is amazing. I really like some of the old Stephen King books as well, like The Shining. Silence of the Lambs is also a great book. These days, I tend to stick more to Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson.
Bonus points for playing it at night in the car. My wife and I have been doing this together since college, it never gets old.
Open the balcony door, grab my blankies, lie down on the living room floor and cuddle the shit out of my pillows while enjoying the smell of rains.
The world is getting washed, snails come out and enjoy the wet environment, pretty umbrellas come out and decorate the streets, the thrumming sound of the rain relaxes your mind, the air becomes fresh, the grass and trees look a little more green, the sky is a lovely grey that won't burn your eyes, and everything just looks so fresh and beautiful that you can't help but love the rain!
Sometimes, but not always. Personally, I like the sound of rain, so when I’m trying to relax it’s quite nice. But then, if I’m trying to be productive outdoors it can be quite annoying.. I definitely enjoy rainy nights more than clear nights, but for the day it depends on what I’m doing.
I used to find rainy days depressing and then I moved to Portland, OR and they really grew on me. I like both now but there is something super fun about really bleak and depressing weather as long as it is like natural disaster or anything--that just feels unsafe. But bleak weather is great for reading, playing video games, watching Harry Potter, drinking coffee and many other fun things.
I don't do well in sunlight, mainly on hot days. It can make me feel like my skin is burning, and being out in it for a long time makes me feel exhausted. I'll take clouds and rain over straight sunlight any day. The best days are when the sky is about half-filled with clouds, the kind that look like objects.
