Now that she's gonna be a manager, she's gonna blow outta this pedestrian free site with guns blazing and go hang with the movers and shakers on the pay sites.
So we toured the short sale house and figured out what it would take to get it liveable.
Found a cardboard sign that said "homeless will work for food". Hopefully they got the help they needed.

I think it's probably too that my generation and a little bit of the previous one have grown up with cell phones (and more importantly texting) and have never learned to put it down. Doesn't make it ok, but I do think that's where a problem comes from.
tried on shoes a while ago in the store. Ordered them over the weekend. Tried them on tonight. Don't even feel like the same shoe. Boo.
Maybe it's because I'm not a guy, but I don't think so. I think it's because I'm not hyper competitive. Competitive, yes...but I can't consider it winning when you have to cheat the system or the competition to achieve the win.
What they are teaching those girls is that it's better to game the system than to compete and and earn the CH by winning your way to the top. Despite what those guys in the thread say, he DID break the rules, and I'm convinced he KNEW he was breaking them, and his facebook rant was simply him being ****** because he didn't get away with it.
I always wanted my boys to do their best, regardless of skill level. I wanted them to be proud of their achievements, or at the very least, their efforts. If that coach had gotten away with breaking the rules would his girls have really won? Figuratively speaking, of course...
Probably from your unwaivering loyalty to CG throughout all of this time (minus that short hiccup of a play you made at Nickels).
I think it's pretty much BS when you say you're still molding minds at a college level, but at this level you 100 percent still are. How you teach kids at that age carries over for a lifetime.
Well said, unfortunately, it's not a common of a perspective as it once was. I mentioned it in the FAWcast thread, but I'll flesh it out a little more here. One time my grandpa, out of the blue when I was probably 10-12, pulls me aside and says "don't ever steal anything." and I was like "Uhh, yeah, I won't"...confused as to where this was coming from. He replies "I mean it, not even a 1c piece of candy" (yeah, I'm old-ish) I replied "I won't, stealing is wrong" and he clarified "Good...there's people that will tell you that it doesn't matter that much because it's a 1c piece of candy....but I'm telling you, you're either honest, or you're not. If you'll steal from me on something that doesn't matter much, you sure as hell will when it matters a lot".
00, didn't your grandpa also say that about cards, or was that someone else, but I thought that was good advice.
I think if you're hyper competitive, you think your team will win outright. Only a chicken **** loser, as you put it, would cheat to achieve that.
This, by the way, is what Honor Before Victory actually means. I hate how people on here misconstrue it as meaning you're ok losing, as long as you did it the right way.
I'm off the 55 train for now, but just there in the background for when the inevitable happens
