- I'm sure what you are feeling is normal -- nm - pippy on a ferry Aug 6, 09:09
- you guys gotta put on the shift. - Diva Aug 6, 08:56
- This will sound sexist, but I would be highly against using a female player on one of the corners, especially in softball. -- nm - Shaun Aug 6, 08:55 2
  - we almost always have a female first base player. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:44
  - "why don't you find yourself a spot over there on the bench....." -- nm - shawn Aug 6, 08:57
- Cool, glad its better. Do need to be attentive. -- nm - Broot Aug 6, 08:54
- Good to hear. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:52

- i've never understood loathing someone you were intimate with, sure i can see anger over a betrayal but after awhile... -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 6, 14:18
- It's creating mini-dramas. Some people like Drama, others not so much. -- nm - Broot Aug 6, 08:57
- 5 Sexual Fears That Science Says Are Bullshit -- (link) - Beaker Aug 6, 08:49
- if you ever find an answer let me know. -- nm - Remlik Aug 6, 08:47 15
  - Are you not still with the giantess? -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:50 3
    - not since April of last year. -- nm - Remlik Aug 6, 08:56 2
      - :( -- nm - pippy bells Aug 6, 09:07
      - Her loss. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:57
  - see, despite what Spawn is telling you, it is not easier to be gay. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 08:48 1
    - Not gay, bi. - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:48
  - [deleted] 8
    - I've done that. What sucks now is that I work so much I can't drink like that anymore -- nm - Remlik Aug 6, 08:56
    - Dating must have really changed in the last decade or so. - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:50 6

        see below! -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 09:01
        
        SFEK... "I liked that movie." is okay. "... it made me feel" NOOOOO! -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:56
      - I don't think that JD is referring to dating -- nm - JD Aug 6, 08:54
- lower the stakes. - znufrii Aug 6, 08:40
- I look at it much differently from vulnerability. Seeing what you want then trying to take it is conquering. - David Aug 6, 08:40
- I just remember that no two people are the same therefore no relationship is the same. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:38
- I know I've said this before (and yes, it's proof of me being broken) but I don't get how people put themselves out there in the first place. - ty97 Aug 6, 08:35 5
  - you develop a thick skin -- nm - decline Aug 6, 08:47 1
    - You set up rules for yourself, and you obey them. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:48
  - [deleted] 2
    - Hopefully that thought is enough to scare you into a turnaround. - ty97 Aug 6, 08:39 1
      - [deleted]
- Wait. It doesn't get easier? -- nm - JD Aug 6, 08:35 5
  - everyone has differing timeframes. - groiny Aug 6, 08:36 4
    - *nod* I was actually referring to the idea that being through a breakup would help one be better be prepared to get through the next one -- nm - JD Aug 6, 08:38 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        because someone is out there looking for you and he's just as frustrated -- nm - pippy bells Aug 6, 09:08
      - again, I think they are all different. I have had some that are easy, and some that are not. - groiny Aug 6, 08:38
- ultimately you can't be afraid to be vulnerable. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 08:34
- the juice is worth the squeeze. - groiny Aug 6, 08:33

This is what the surface of a comet looks like: -- (link) - decline Aug 6, 08:24 [Image] 5
- I see the letters "C-H-A-"....almost as if someone were trying to write their name in it. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:47 1
  - [deleted]
- whoa. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 08:45
- [deleted]
- it is sort of crazy that we can have pictures like this now. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 08:26
Re: B2. Oblique's FB story...Is there a difference between social media and here? This is technically more public - JD Aug 6, 08:21 16
- This is sanctuary. There is a trust here I don't find elsewhere. - Broot Aug 6, 08:48
- These is a board of trusted friends, imo. So much more private. - Inigo Aug 6, 08:26 7
  - *This* -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 08:30 4
    - talking to yourself? -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 08:31 3
      - Serial self corrector. Thanks to you and Spawn for the compliment. That means a lot. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 08:38 1
        
        well, it is true. I can not even imagine what that was like. - groiny Aug 6, 08:40
      - With the record selection and the mirror's reflection. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:37
  - and truth is, I admire you for getting through all that. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 08:27 1
    - Hell yeah. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:31
- I tend to be fairly quiet on the web, even here... - Mel Profit Aug 6, 08:25
- i consider ST very private. no-one i know in real life is seeing what i post here. FB is the exact opposite of that. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 08:23 3
  - Yeah. I mean, people can find this site pretty easily, but they'd have to be looking. And why would they look? -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 08:26 1
    - exactly. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 08:27
  - this. -- nm - decline Aug 6, 08:25
- Not really. I don't know about this place being more public though. - Roger More Aug 6, 08:23
- not real names for the most part, no family or friends other than here. -- nm - Beaker Aug 6, 08:22
Joplin woman suing Home Depot for tornado deaths -- (link) - Strongbad Aug 6, 08:16 5
- this is always sad. tragic things happen... why does it have to be someone's fault? - colin Aug 6, 08:28 4
  - Because often things are preventable. And she has probably suffered financial loss, in addition to all her other losses. -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 08:43
  - Because you can not sue God. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:31 2
    - he has no money anyway.. - colin Aug 6, 08:32
    - I am sure you could find a lawyer who would be willing to try. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 08:32
Re: B2 Nicely done LMS! -- nm - JD Aug 6, 08:15 8
- It's still early days, got a bunch of checks to go through first. -- nm - LMS Aug 6, 08:35
- JD, did you know there is a disabled list for the BOP Fantasy Baseball league? - David Aug 6, 08:17 6
  - I didn't even see that. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 08:28 2
    - I didn't either. Alf brought it up. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:30 1
      - if people are contemplating a Do-Over: I'm in favor. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 08:48
  - Oh! I did/do But the part I forgot is that it is a Keeper league - JD Aug 6, 08:22 2
    - Well, please go post on the BOP board since people are asking. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:24 1
      - done. Thanks for the heads up as I don't check that board on a daily basis -- nm - JD Aug 6, 08:31
And back to the MS Senate runoff: Man who gave interview claiming Cochran paid black voters was himself paid $2000 to say that -- (link) - ty97 Aug 6, 08:15 1
- Ugh. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 6, 08:18

  - [deleted] 1
    - Brock Osweiler, of course!! ;) -- nm - Jim Aug 6, 08:33
- Clowney, Donald, Matthews, Robinson, Evans. Ryan Shazier is my #6. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:18 2
  - I really hope Donald turns into Geno Atkins. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 6, 08:19 1
    - [deleted]
- I don't follow the specifics of footballs well enough to choose individual players - ty97 Aug 6, 08:16 4
  - He's going to be exciting to watch, when he's healthy. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 6, 08:17 3
    - Just one of those guys that doesn't like practice, but put him in a game and he'll light it up. -- nm - Broot Aug 6, 08:19 1
      - Guys who don't like practice bust out of the league most of the time. - David Aug 6, 08:21
    - As an Aggie, I certainly want to see him succeed and shine - ty97 Aug 6, 08:19
- [deleted] 4
  - I hope you're right on Mosely. Word is good so far. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 08:15 3
    - The only concern I have is the sheer volume of disappointing Alabama players in recent years. - David Aug 6, 08:20 1
      - Ozzie's one fault may be valuing Alabama players too highly. - Inigo Aug 6, 08:23
    - [deleted]
- I wouldn't have expected #2 or #3 that high. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 6, 08:12
David, WWE stock is up about 15% since they fired 7% of the workforce - Will Hunting Aug 6, 08:04 4
- I have already chosen not to renew my subscription. I will be curious to see what sorts of desperation offers they make. - David Aug 6, 08:15 3
  - you're partially right, and I realize I'm being overly positive in thinking this, but with England getting it in Oct 1st that will be big for them.... - Remlik Aug 6, 08:22 2
    - I think 100,000 lost is a best case scenario. They're fine if that is all they are out. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:23 1
      - I think so to. I think with England and Europe this year they'll gain 200,000 from that area.... - Remlik Aug 6, 08:33
Operation cat-packing successful. Stood the carrier on end and dropped the little one in....so much easier than trying to stuff her in face first.... - Meg Aug 6, 08:04 1
- The carrier I use is collapsable -- fits under seat in front when we fly -- and - OAE -- You Know Who Aug 6, 08:18

Ugh, it's already 88 in Needles, heading for 108. I won't be stopping on the way through :) -- nm - Meg Aug 6, 07:56 2
- When did you move to TX :) -- nm - Capstern Aug 6, 07:56 1
  - I don't mind heat but the Colorado River Valley is a killer - then I'll probably have to contend with monsoons on the other side :/ -- nm - Meg Aug 6, 07:57
Thanks to those that helped Thrash-Car is here and done. I need to say that - Capstern Aug 6, 07:51
Bottom line: Dating sucks. -- nm - decline Aug 6, 07:48 16
- Yes an no. Disliked having to find the one I was going to date for a while, but loved it once I did. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:36
- Individual dates are fun. Dating, and everything else involved, sucks. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 08:01 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - I think most people are a little detached after a breakup from a long term relationship. - Inigo Aug 6, 08:07 1

    - "Tis slain many beasts!" -- nm - gRoin Aug 6, 08:00
- I wouldn't even know where to start if I was on the market. Plus I'm old now. -- nm - Shaun Aug 6, 07:52 3
  - I have a short list of prospects, should I end up single anytime soon. - groiny Aug 6, 07:54 2

      - my situation is, in fact, complicated. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 08:03

  - Sort of a game that the rules change without warning or notification -- nm - Capstern Aug 6, 07:52
- Dating is fun, relationships suck. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 07:48
- yup marriage is much better -- nm - Capstern Aug 6, 07:48
we are not in a Jane Austen novel. women are allowed to contact men. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 07:47 22
- I contacted my future husband first because I hate waiting. It was 2 days after we met. I ain't proud. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 08:07 6
  - Kim kept driving 9 hours to see me on the weekends. It was hard not to be impressed by that. - David Aug 6, 08:25
  - My wife did as well. - spamlet Aug 6, 08:19
  - [deleted]
  - I swear this wasn't intentional. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 08:09 2
    - "6 days." -- nm - Swingers guys Aug 6, 08:13
    - I know. :) Besides 'tis water under the bridge now. - Diva Aug 6, 08:11
- [deleted] 13
  - Are you serious about thtis? I would never have dated such a woman for long. - Star-Lord Aug 6, 08:29
  - at a certain point, the passiveness reads like disinterest and/or insecurity. - Reagen Aug 6, 07:53 11
    - [deleted]
    - The other major problem would be if passivity translated to bed. -- nm - David Aug 6, 07:55 9
      - [deleted] 6
        
        Yeah, if she wants dominant, and he's not, that would be a major problem for him. - Inigo Aug 6, 08:20 3

        Mistype. That should have read "he should brought it up prior to the break-up" - Inigo Aug 6, 08:28 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think that's true of some. I definitely get more lustful looks than my appearance deserves, and I presume it's due to my size. -- nm - David Aug 6, 08:17 1
        
        [deleted]
      - "are you done yet?" -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 07:56 1
