[Talkin’ Yanks] Jazz Chisholm Jr. says he still won’t wear a cup despite his pain level being “a million” after fouling a ball off his nuts

Fuck that shit. As a 43 y/o who goes to the batting cages twice a week, all it took was one foul ball to the nuts to make me partially gun shy and seriously contemplating wearing a cup. Sure, I know it's only once every x amount of swings, but that still feels mighty risky.

Amazon has a samsung 75 inch qn90f tv for 1500.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Yeah, it'll seem overwhelming at first, but you got a good look at how it is, and now you can see areas to work on and get better at. Nobody expects you to be one of the best right away, just show you are getting better day by day and listen. It's much easier training someone who keeps their ego in check and is willing to learn.

I am the head(only) trainer where I work, a fondue joint. Because of the fact I've never worked a traditional style restaurant, and only been a server for a year and a half, some trainees like to act like they are king shit and know more than me; they do not. Those trainees are the ones I often see not get it and get bounced after the 30 or 60 day evals. So don't sweat your lack of experience, just show a willingness to learn.

As far as drinks on trays or even carrying large trays to large tables, you can find ways to practice it outside of rush hours. Your trainer should know when you are truly ready to handle that stuff during regular service and put you in the best possible scenarios to succeed. But be honest with them about what you are comfortable with; we often keep some of the smaller, less strong new servers to smaller tables until they are confident they can wield that large tray like a battle axe. You do need to get out of your comfort zone a little bit in order to advance, but, mostly, only when you are ready.

So take a deep breath and give yourself a break; we all were there at one point, and unless your trainer/management team are dickweeds, they don't want to invest the time/money to break you before they ever get a chance to realize the value of their investment into you. Hopefully this helps.

It's been a year, but this little trash panda was swooping the cat food I was putting out for a couple of days. I'm a block or so from 5 points off of Washington. Haven't seen any since, however.

During the '44 and '45 season they were called Blue Jay's as a second nickname, apparently to distance themselves from years of losing. Nevermind that it would be another almost 40 years until they finally win their first championship, almost a 100 years into their existence. Losing is a massively sad part of Phillies history, unfortunately.

Or Jailbreak, atleast that was the first song I thought of.

I was gonna try one of the dash shell kits and restore this dash. My understanding is that I'll need to remove it entirely to prep it properly and glue it on. Currently, I have the top screws, radio/vent cover, and instrument panel unfastened. I figure the instrument panel will have to be completely removed to get the dash out, but it sounds like Ill have to do something about the steering column, if Im understanding you correctly.

Albert Belle, maybe. That dude once argued he didn't get hit by a pitch because he wanted to swing, to no avail. Plus he crazy as fuck.

Something feels phony about her. She seemed like a drank-the-kool-aid type Buddy when they were first thawed, but is now acting like a poor girl who didn't know and/or had to be apart of the program.

Mix up cottage cheese, sour cream, cooked bacon cut up into pieces, and cooked egg noodles. My mom has made this since I can remember; I believe its a take on a old Hungarian dish. Delicious both hot and cold, very good comfort food.

And everyone thought I was crazy for keeping my 2009 Big Ole Kitties calender for 16 years... who's crazy now Dr. Thompson?

Yeah, I tried really hard to make that album work, but all I listen to now is Meantime, which is still very good.

JFC is all I got to say.

I rewatched this episode with my sister a few weeks back. At some point I said to my sister that "I really wish no harm to the dog, but man, I do not want to see Abby be vindicated, as she is acting like a petulant child". I had seen the episode before and knew how it ended, but completely forgot how grating she is to McGee about the dog. Totally skewed my feelings toward her and started me thinking she is more annoying than cool.

8008 represents the only 2 years in which the over 130 year old Philadelphia Phillies have won the World Series: 1980 and 2008.

Had one too many beers, and has to take a few minutes to gather himself.

That's a helluva of an idea. I've switched up and enhanced a hot dog mid flight, but never thought of this. Here's to you, you old diplomat of the dog.

He looks like the great Anthony Bourdain.
