This is shaping up well for stupid fitz being superpak’d when he inevitably has to deal with some hiccup going on with his return flight.super power scenario in play wherein he becomes a master travel booking savant but only when he’s blackout drunk.

There is absolutely no reason for a 5AM flight, ever.From KC it sometimes is.
Bitch I made itHell yeah you did. Go to old San Juan. Mrs SF and I got crap housed at a decent dive bar called Taburna Lupulo last year.

Chlorine is a base, not an acid.It tastes terrible either way.
it's our last water polo season (probably) and gearing up for summer tournaments there is drama as there usually is. Since there aren't enough girls at any one club, clubs will join forces to create more competitive teams. Anyway my daughter's club and another club were merging and planned to have an A team and a B team. At least that's what one of the coaches thought. There were 3 or 4 combined tournaments with one team and eventually the other coach (who was going to lead the A team in summer tourneys) thought it was going to be one big team with a huge bench while my daughter's coach thought there would be an A and a B team (so weaker players from both clubs could play a lot at an appropriate level).
The two team would have worked brilliantly EXCEPT the A team coach and/or his weaker players decided that his weaker players would not play on the B team, despite the fact that they clearly should based on ability. Which led to my daughter's coach pressuring my daughter (who was clearly an A-teamer) into playing with the B team to guarantee the weaker players of his club would have an opportunity to play on a more competitive team. Like, he tried to tell her she were depriving the weaker players of a chance to play at all and that the A-team coach didn't want her or have space for her when the A coach flat out told her he wanted her on the team and told them that they were depriving the weaker players of a chance to play. Really not cool.
anyway she is playing with the a-team in a couple of weeks and she will have a lot of fun (hopefully)
I forgot to add that for many kids and parents NONE OF THEM had any of this communicated to them at all until rosters were sent out TWO WEEKS before they needed to be locked for the ENTIRE SUMMER. Everyone just thought there would be some clear communication from them but it never came. These two bozos are some of the worst communicators I've ever seen. They're trying to be diplomatic while also being petty and trying to be competitive while also protecting their own clubs. I also forgot to mention that the A-team coach brought in some ringers from outside the region (which didn't bump my daughter from A but definitely bumped some others)
Wow, that seems like a huge PITA. We just do the same thing, but let the league do all the logistical stuff you have to manually do. That is pretty much exactly how our coach does league play so that's pretty cool. Lil SF bats toward the bottom and has gotten really unlucky with at bats so far this year. He has been on deck like 4 times when something has happened and he didn't get to hit. Tuesday night the storms in KC were coming in and i'll be honest, the 3 and 2 folks were pretty much waiting for a kid to get zapped before they cancelled the game. He was up and his DA friend got picked off ending the inning. He then got up and after the first pitch, they finally called the game. Coach had him bat at the top for the next game to get him and others more at bats. Even when coach does stuff like that we still kick the crap out of most teams in league play so I'm guessing if we are still on this team next year, we won't do league, but who knows. Tourneys can be brutal. I love it mostly, but its giving up a whole weekend so adding more will be tough.
It's not that big of a PITA and it's a very small tradeoff to being able to have complete control over our schedule. Date, Time, Location, Opponent, etc. I don't think a league would even be feasible for us. Also I don't know of any competitive spring/summer leagues in Omaha. All the leagues are just rec (which it sounds like maybe what your team is in since they're beating the doors off teams?). I know some of our peers will put together teams to play fall competitive leagues but we have too many kids playing football to make it work.
yeah, its def gotten to be more of a "rec" league as they've gotten older. Your situation sounds pretty good being able to play teams you know. No one is having any fun out there for an hour 45 when the other team is walking everyone. They do max 5 runs per inning but no run rule. So basically if you are up by 16 after the 4th, the game is over because the other team can't catch up. Those games suck ass. Its def not every game, but its getting more and more like that.
yeah, that sounds awful. we play USSSA rules for all games. run rule is 15 after 3 or 8 after 4.

I think we can dismiss as a myth the idea that Tang builds a special bond with his players. Maybe Tomlin, but Linton crap on that.
Uncontrolled NIL destroyed the idea of school or coach loyalty when dealing with 18 year old kids.
We are still probably better off with Tang. From the guy I know that has interacted with Tang a few times, Tang has a personality that makes you feel like you both already know each other and is very likable. Same guy told me Reem is even more so like that. Those are great attributes if we have to sell our team to a new 7 or 8 kids annually. Especially if Tang's new contract has a significant NIL component.
I have gained and lost weight many times in my life. Most of my 40’s I was very fit, but last few years after Covid I gained a ton. Using the GLP-1 helps me be happier while I lose the weight. I started trying to get back in shape in January and work out nearly every day, but using the glp1 drug allows me to reduce the agonizing struggle of hoarding and splurging on caloric “points” each day.
Having tried a glp1 drug, I am CONVINCED it’s the best way to live for me. I hope I have access to it, and the fund to afford it for the rest of my life.
if i ever get a ManCave the first order of business is getting a trackman and having my own personal virtual driving range (or hopefully by the time i can make that a reality it will be a common thing where you can just load up whatever course you want and play a round of virtual golf)
Well, good news, because apparently you can both keep the wiener and lose the weight

I assume they have a finite window to use them because they either arent safe for continuous useage or the drug companies know they will lose efficacy in prolonged settings or both.
Can you take it indefinitely? If not I don't see how it works long term.
The folks I know on one of these has been told by their doc that you can't get off it other wise the weight will all come back.
I don't know for sure, but I think that is probably not complete info, at best. I imagine it's like any diet where the weight comes back unless you make lifestyle changes.
