Do you know what was going on in their marriage? Was there still a connection or were they just going through the motions and staying together for kids or convenience. Perhaps that would lead someone to seek companionship sooner than others. Really not for others to judge
I had 3 removed from my backyard last fall. The looked great, provided us with great shade, but they broke easily and it was time to get rid of them. The neighborhood we live in had them lining the entire street and they looked beautiful in the spring, but they are fragile and apparently invasive. Local nurseries no longer carry them up here (I am in Illinois, unfortunately)
TN is trying every which way to give this game away and UVA can’t take it
I have been to the Purdue campus a few times for job fairs, the students I interacted with all seemed like typical students at any other campus. The campus is nice. The graduates I know are all good people
This game is great, and I have a feeling Arky and High Point will be similar
The uni’s look like it, kind of a throwback look, which I think looks pretty good

With the exception of one swing, our AB’s consisted of weak grounders, pop ups and watching meatballs down the middle.

And downvote if you like but good for Venezuela and their fans. Do you think the US would be showing that kind of raw emotion? I doubt it.

I have never watched the WBC prior to this year but I have really enjoyed it, mainly how much the crowds have gotten into the games. Love that at sporting events.

The atmosphere tomorrow night will be off the charts. Even though we are going to be out numbered, I can’t wait. I have never watched the WBC before but these last few games have been electric.

Are these MLB umps? This ump tonight is all over the damn place.

Live outside Chicago. Severe thunderstorms yesterday followed by snow overnight. Down to the teens tonight and up to mid 60's by the weekend. Mother nature is currently drunk up here at the moment, doesn't know what she wants.

This ump tonight definitely expanded the strike zone this evening a bit, but that was definitely a bad one. The game itself was awesome. Hope tomorrow and the final are the same

Can you imagine how lit the crowd would be if Venezuela and DR were to meet in the finals? I of course am pulling for US but that would be a fun game to watch. Part of the fun is the crowd enthusiasm

This game is definitely exciting. We are debating at the house, do they play take me out to the ball game during the 7th inning stretch of games between international teams?
That was a nice bit of pitching to get out of that jam
He was my favorite baseball player. I saw his first game as an Astro, after he became baseball’s first million dollar player. He actually homered in that game. Not sure he was the best pitcher ever, but certainly top 10.
I was there as well as a student. Mom bought me tickets for my birthday. Got to see 6 games. It was a blast, but those 2 LSU games were awesome

Congratulations to you.

My day is coming soon. Just celebrated 30 years at my company. I turn 61 next week. My daughter (no pics) starts grad school in the summer, but we have the money already put aside for that. I used to love what I do, it is a non stressful job that pays well, but again, I don't enjoy it as much and I have a new boss that is a dick. Financially, I can do it now, but the big concern is health insurance. Do I take the easy money and 401k match for a couple of more years? That is what I am trying to decide, but again health insurance.

I hope you enjoy all retirement has to offer. I am sorry your wife will not be by your side.
I could knock out 6 hot, fresh Shipley's or Southern Maid before I knew it. I would regret it later, but those just melt in your mouth and expand later.
Went to HS in Kingwood, played football, then hung out at the boat docks, built bonfires out of 'borrowed' pallets found behind the grocery store, or went to a party at someone's house.
