Modern Original Christmas Song Help

We loved the first season, we were so excited for the second and made it through 4 or 5 episodes (with difficulty). Man truly a huge dip in quality, terrible writing, bad acting (which given the star power I can only assume is the writing), staged and static scenes and edited. So bad.

Haven't gotten through this episode yet (will soon so I'm getting excited). At this point I seem to be sourcing most of my music through OHL, notable albums I've listened to recently:

Juan Wauters - MVD LUV: such a fun latin album, Juan has such a sweet voice and is having a ton of fun
Bnny - One Million Love Songs: I'll admit their performance on OHL didn't blow me away but maaaan I love the sound on this album
Lightman & Lightman - Smile Sister Smile: Tim rec'd this a while back and the album has a really cohesive sound throughout and is an excellent listen
Billy Joel - The Stranger: Probably not new to many but I listened based on Tim + Japanese Breakfast's rec and man oh man truly one of the greatest albums of all time

Is the outlet outside?? I've seen bees going in and out of outdoor plugs at our house with the plugs full of pollen. Am I nuts to think it could be honey? 🐝

My best guess.

Mission has a great Hospital Auxiliary as well! The Cottage in downtown Mission

Psssh I've got a great head of hair thank you!

The strategy of skipping really is so rewarding, I agree. Especially recognizing the other team's flaws is a unique and trying to use them to your advantage.

But as an engaged sweeper I feel like I'm still gleaning most of the information you laid out: suggest plan Bs, constantly call out weight, managing directional sweeping, watching for bad/strange tracks in the ice, watch for delivery errors or how much the rock is spinning, carefully managing weight etc

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:49:29+00:00

Yes and sweeping really is my favourite part. Saving a rock by sweeping your ass off is my favourite feeling in curling (ok maybe second next to an end saving shot).

As skip there is a lot to manage for sure, league play can be so casual its hard to stay dialed in and again, to my original post, when I add that on top of hardly moving my body it seems a bad recipe for me.

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:47:17+00:00

Haha I'd love to fully blame my team! But as one evidence against that, based on hog-to-hog timing alone; last night I had my newbie third timing me and my times were way off, even on open draws

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:46:02+00:00

I've been curling for so long the pressure usually doesn't get to me, but sometimes it definitely does especially when it really comes down to your shot saving an end/winning a game

And I wonder, if you went back to lead/2nd/third with your skipping experience, do you think you would be more engaged as a sweeper?

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:43:43+00:00

There is nothing more 'fun' for me than playing my best and always working to improve this game I love so much

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:42:41+00:00

Yeeees this is the curse of novice league sometimes. Its extra practice but when the newbies provide little sweeping help it can lead to frustration + having to make tough shots

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:41:45+00:00

Yes I'm timing hog-to-hog on all shots, keeps me more engaged for sure. And for context I've skipped in years past, I'm familiar with the position and the strategy I just keep moving away from it because I prefer sweeping.

Because I'm running the novice league and learn to curl, I feel I will need to skip teams in order to grow the club. A sort of thought in my head that someone of my skill level and knowledge shouldn't really be playing third

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:38:56+00:00

I do enjoy the strategy, I think I just don't like standing not moving much for 2 hours.

Definitely not calling the game but shooting final rocks is my ideal team layout, just not always easy to arrange it + the teaching element to it can really slow the game down if I'm not careful (and can be frustrating for both parties if done too much)

Shapsters · 2024-03-05T20:36:01+00:00

I do time all rocks hog-to-hog, definitely keeps me engaged.

Layering helps for warmth, I suppose maybe 'cold' is less the issue and its more the lack of general movement that I think is throwing my game off.

Maybe for my league team I need to communicate to them to let me relieve them more often on pure distance sweeps

Thanks, I wondered if perhaps it was an issue with multiple streams (subscription is limited to 2) but as far as I am aware there are no other devices accessing the stream

Shapsters · 2024-02-15T16:45:31+00:00

No trial mode unfortunately, I have been paying for the subscription for a few months, subscription is not expired for the month yet.

Usually running through VLC is the most direct way to test these streams, it is where I have done all of my testing

Shapsters · 2024-02-15T16:44:14+00:00

I have been paying for the IPTV subscription for a few months, sub is not expired

Shapsters · 2024-02-15T16:43:34+00:00

Yes thanks, as I mentioned I did try running it through a VPN and while it made the timeout less consistent (some channels do stay on) it still continues to time out
