I chuckled at this…yeah they are really struggling with us. All they have to do is let our “athletes” shoot. Instant turnover

What ever team what was that was bitching about not making the tournament should have sued us instead of UNC. West Virginia?

We will be down 20 by then.

Projection, projection, projection

We are all paying for catastrophic coverage, something that would likely bankrupt us. The only reason to have insurance and not pay cash for everything. Insurance is a Ponzi scheme.

I was more worried about this scenario with the football team winning another natty. Glad that’s over now.

Anybody have the puppy bowl score?

That’s a 1987 grand national. 400 Hp from the factory. Bad arse car

I found out I’m a damn fool - get education/trade, pay your taxes, pay your loans, stay out of trouble, go to work everyday, be productive - all to feed a corrupt system against you. It’s not partially corrupt, it’s infested. All politician knew about this for 50 years and did absolutely nothing.

Sounds like grounds for reparations.

That's awesome! Any wisdom you can drop for the rest of us on how you raised her to do this?

Not sure how this will hit with some folks…but I’ll try. It’s by the grace of God and a tremendous amount of sacrifice.

My wife has homeschooled our kids since kindergarten (son a senior in highschool). For the first 8-10 years of schooling she worked third shift at the hospital every weekend and one day during the week and then would school the kids because we needed the income. As I made more money the past five years, she was she was eventually able to quit work and stay at home schooling. Our household income last year was $125k including my commissions, so we are by no means rich. Our family vacations were wherever our kids were playing ball that weekend. No boats, sports cars, or fancy toys. My wife drives a 15 year old car and my truck will be paid off next month. I golf and hunt with my son, coach all their sports..that’s about it.
They grew up knowing we didn’t have much money and if they wanted something they would have to find a way to make it happen. We stayed involved in their lives, showed them lots of love (sometimes tough love), and tried to set an example of being a productive member of society. I think the key was not being hypocritical, living out what we were telling them. They believe what they see more than they hear…talk is cheap. We talk about the sacrifices we made/make openly to hold them accountable, but tell them we don’t begrudge making those sacrifices, it was what we signed up for as parents. We tell them “we hold up our end of the deal, you hold up yours”. Don’t be an entitled brat and remember whose kids you are. Make us proud.

That’s a brief overview. Hope it helps in some way.
