Julie Andrews is my best guess.

The combo of Andrews with Dick Van Dyke is by far the closest thing there is to Dolly and Betty White. After them... I have no idea.

To the people saying Shaq is too highly rated due to the LSU connection, I disagree. He's almost more appreciated on sites like Reddit due to his random acts of kindness. However, he's probably not old enough for one of these discussions.

Anything in a stew tastes okay/the same. That's kind of what a stew is.

I've had horse a couple of times, including on a pizza. It was not good. At all. Not awful if I need it to live etc., but almost no one would choose it over beef, chicken, or pork.

Your entire post seems like you're trying to convince yourself rather than state what's actually going on.

I miss the days when children's sports wasn't all about mom and dad.

95% of it still is, its only the 5% you see being blasted on social media that isnt.

The only people going half way across the country to play

"Travel ball" isn't about going across the country at this age. It's about leaving the park system to go on a fake "travel league" where they enter tournaments for entire weekends in the same city or state they live in. The only justification is the "better competition", which I don't buy at 7 because your son can still practice all the fundamentals against a crappy team. This is big business for local sport organizations.

but dont get it twisted, in 95% of cases, its the kids driving the travel movement

---

In a post on 7U (and even up to 10U) travel baseball, you think that it's the kids driving this?! The kids just want to play with their friends and have fun. They don't know the community's public v private sporting options.

I always wonder how many kids miss their true, passionate sport callings because they were forced fed only one sport. The early selection and obsession in one sport to the exclusion of all others is not in the best interest of the child. The only exceptions would be sports where the pros are super young like rhythmic gymnastics. A study on this

"Some degree of sports specialization is necessary to develop elite-level skill development. However, for most sports, such intense training in a single sport to the exclusion of others should be delayed until late adolescence to optimize success while minimizing injury, psychological stress, and burnout."

"Swimmers who began specializing before 11 years of age spent less time on a national team and retired earlier than later specializers."

"Elite [Tennis] players began intense training and specialized later (after age 13-15 years) than near-elites (age 11 years)."

While I would love to have a thriving beer garden or concert venue in conjunction with the golf course, I have no doubt in my mind that the city is not capable of executing this. The only thing they are capable of doing is spending money.

Corey Wilson, BREC's former, extremely underqualified superintendent LINK scoffed at the idea of an outdoor venue in Baton Rouge when they put in the Knock Knock. They could have saved a crap ton of money doing both of those at the same time on top of the large hill.

Except Catholic Church. If then, you're screwed.

Yea, catholic church doesn't offer many places to meet someone. It's just go to church and leave. Also, it seems full of families.

I have had people tell me that Catholic singles app is like old school tinder with hookups but I have never tried it.

There's some seriously good advice in this chat. I'd like to add some of my lessons as well:

1. Let someone, usually single women, look at your profile and get their honest input. No point in wasting time fishing with shitty bait. You'll eventually learn the pros/cons of making a decent profile. I can't tell you how many dudes that bitch about not getting any good matches have the worst profiles that may not show their face or hair (if they have any) or only have selfies inside their car. Decent pics of different styles - for example, one after a 5k; one in a suit before a wedding; one on a boat (don't include the fish in the pic... it's a turnoff to girls for some reason); and one out with a group of friends -- work best.

2. FB dating is free and trying undercut the others. It's okay. Hinge is the best across the board in Louisiana probably. I haven't used Bumble in a while. Tinder can be more fun in bigger cities/tourist towns. As other posters have said, mix them up from time to time -- paying for the apps let's you see who liked you but there's no use paying for all of them at the same time.

3. Also, as other posters have said, I avoid full dinners for the first date -- drinks with appetizers usually works great and cuts the cost down (even that isn't cheap.) That said - if the chick is hot enough or I'm in the mood for a decent dinner, I'll break that rule.

4. Every date's first question will be: "So how long have you been single?" or "When did you get divorced?" .. and as you heal you'll likely start asking them that. It's the easiest indicator someone is going to have a lot of baggage or maybe drama with the ex or need help with the emotions of the process. It's not a big deal but have an answer ready. After a few drinks, they'll ask why you are getting divorced.

5. Try to enjoy the process. Enjoy a new first date experience. Some will go great. Some you'll kick yourself for screwing up by talking about your ex too much etc. Don't focus too much on the bad ones.

6. You can be honest about what you want. I know many women that have hooked up with dudes that just said I'm too fresh to be dating serious and want something more fun right now.

7. Don't sit at home and message on them all the time. It will feel like a 2nd full time job. The best approach is a combo approach where you join clubs/volunteering and add some online dates. You'll get back into it with the dates so you're ready when/if you meet someone in person.

I can take her back to court on that in due time. I don’t think I have the time available to successfully have 50-50. Work keeps me busy.

The longer this goes on, the less of an argument you're gonna have for more custody

I agree with this post. Now is the time to act. Cut back on work some if you can or rearrange your schedule.

As a bonus, the child custody payments will be reworked to account for a more equitable time arrangement.

None of that is evidence. All of the evidence points to Lee Harvey Oswald being the lone assassin.

The Allen Dulles theory doesn't rule this out as an option. As you know, Oswald had connections to the agency and Dulles had discussed using easily manipulated people to conduct similar missions in the past.
