**WHAT WOULD YOU DO**
playing trivia tonight, winner gets $100, and we are tied with one round to go. We got 7 in the last round and they got 8 so they won. However... We had the tiebreaker so if we would have tied we would have walked away with the $100.-But here is my gripe...
Question was: you have over 20k, 40k, or 60k miles of blood vessles in your body.
I said to write down the lowest amount because anything over 20k is over 20k. 40k and 60k are both over 20k so technically it's correct.
They marked it wrong (answer was 60k) and I argued 60k is over 20k so how could we be wrong? They basically said they just read the answers from the book.
I got ****** off and left.
Who is right or wrong? "Having fun" isn't the point.

You were technically correct and probably broke some relationships with your actions.
My Raptors are once again depressing me.
However something good has been going on recently that has me all sorts of excited. Not gonna say in fear of jinxing it.

The Raptors 2 best players are volume scorers who have never had success in the playoffs. Enjoy getting this far.
Defense hasnt been awful but definitely still needs work. Lowrys struggling horribly once again. This series would have been different had Valuncunias been healthy. Cavs would still win the series but it'd be much more competitive.
You mean the author of awesome kids book The Book Without Pictures?

My "wow I'm old" moment of the week was Mr. October himself, Reggie Jackson, turned 70 yesterday. I remember watching him play. 70!
heartbreaker tonight, sad face.
First time up, I got on first time (just barely) and then next guy kicked DH and I home. I ran each time after that but they threw fast and I'd be out like 1 foot from base.
We were down 5-7 bottom of 7th and first guy got on, then DH went and got on. So I go up and kicked, but it didn't cross the line so I waited to get the strike but it crossed the line and IDK why, I was like well too late to run I'll take the strike. Catcher had her back turned grabbing the ball, and I realized ****, pitcher is coming, this is in play so I took off. I damn near made it and everyone is like great fake out! I'm like it wasn't fake! I wasn't going to run! But, it got guy on 3rd home, so 6-7, DH on second, 1 out. Next girl goes and they like got in her way or something and she got first, DH to third. Guy comes up.....but it popped too much. It was a good kick but they had this girl who was catching every damn thing. It went straight to her. So he was out but DH was going for home. They got it across the field and got DH as he was hitting home. Sad times.
I had two catches (including one really high kick) and a couple drops. Several catches where it was just too long for the throw to get to me and the runner was just safe. I was also ****** because I threw it at a guy from like a foot away and it ******* touched his shirt, I saw it. And he went on to 2nd. I was so ****** because it then made it look like I made a stupid move to not hold him at first, but I ******* saw it. We might switch me off first since I'm not the best, sad face. But I think putting me between 1st and 2nd would be good, because I'm decent at catching, it's the movement afterward. And someone with longer arms might get the ball faster. DH did agree that the one pitcher was slow to decide where to throw the ball, so that wasn't helping me. Plus I'll be gone for two weeks so someone needs to play there.
No meow friend update, she's on vacation. We don't play next week so no more kickball until June. Crazy.
