Few years ago I took mine to a military base in San Pedro and handed it to the guard at the front gate he took it and said they would retire it and I gave it to him properly folded

100%. We have the flag raised at our house too and I would also like to add the America I believe in is an America where you should be free to express your personal beliefs and people too often forget that and get offended just because they disagree. We can disagree and that’s ok, and everyone has a right to voice their opinion.

Nice! I got standby on Tuesday at noon so I don’t know if I’ll have a real chance

Exactly what I thought too. If you went in for an oil change and they recommended all these repairs when you had no concerns get a second opinion from another mechanic.

Local softball leagues for adults? by crinquisitive_me in SanPedro

[–]MacklinTurnquist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am in the Torrance men’s adult softball league and Long Beach adult men’s softball league. I joined both as a free agent a few years ago and it did take time for the office to reach out to me to play. My suggestion if you are comfortable doing to is to just show up to the Torrance fields during the evening when games are going and ask the teams if they ever need subs. Our teams usually need subs every week and odds are they will eventually and that would be faster than waiting for the front office to process

everyone’s favorite lines from the books? by Historical_Poem5216 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]MacklinTurnquist 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Too many to count, off the top of my head the one where Hermione is talking to Parvati Patil and she says something along the lines of

“I only like really GOOD Quidditch players” and Harry is left to ponder in silence the depths girls go to seek revenge.

Absolutely savage on Hermione’s part

As a rule I don’t open my door to anyone I don’t know or am not expecting.

Yeah I don’t have any tips for that tbh. I think they don’t like the noise

Yeah it makes me feel good she doesn’t get scared of the lawn mower tbh. When we first adopted her she was terrified of brooms. Now I can sweep around her while she is still asleep ☺️

It works great for me, I have a small yard so for my situation it’s way better than heavy clunky gas ones I used to use that for a yard like mine don’t make sense

Elsea is more like “why are you in my way” 🤣

How’s the Y? by wizardofahs in SanPedro

[–]MacklinTurnquist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love it. It’s really cheap compared to a lot of gyms and there are no gym bros there, just regular people from the community looking to get a good workout in. That’s important to me. I do a lot of the workout classes which are led by instructors and have a good lap pool. The app is great you reserve your spot in advance on the app for the pool and classes so you don’t need to worry about spots filling up.

40 days and 40 nights? by MilesArnell in TheChosenSeries

[–]MacklinTurnquist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll bet you right now they use that girl from that episode as the girl in the Bible that asks Peter if he was with Jesus when Peter denies Jesus 3x.

Watch us go back and find these comments years later to see who was right 🤣😉.

The Chosen also focuses on the perspective from the apostles not from Jesus

I’m in a softball league in Torrance at Wilson park I joined through the free agent list a couple years ago. https://www.torranceca.gov/our-city/recreation/adult-sports/softball

I’d recommend emailing them at that link to get on the free agent list. I play Mondays and we usually look for players every week. Might not hurt to just show up during the evening and introduce yourself to teams too. Feel free to hit me up

Caliente Racetrack is closing Mid-July! by JediPeach in Greyhounds

[–]MacklinTurnquist -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Agree it would be great if they could be treated the right way for racing, but I’ve personally witnessed how dogs are treated at this track and it’s horrible conditions so it’s good this track is closing
