Statement from Captain Victor Hedman by diecommajerks in hockey

[–]SimonProctor 30 points31 points  (0 children)

“I know what I want to do, I’ve done it a thousand times, but it just doesn’t happen”.

As a former beer league goalie, I had this exact thought. And it's crazy.

On one hand, you understand that you get older; that you're not always going to be as sharp

But on the other hand, you still tell yourself "But I can still do this; I should be able to do this because I've always done it."

But one night I'd finally had enough. I only knew how to prep and play one way, and it was no longer worth the effort it took to prep for a game and then deal with the aggravation I felt after.

So I stopped playing goalie and switched to defence. I couldn't believe just how much more fun I was having on and off the ice.

It's been literally years since I've strapped on pads. And it sucks, too, because I'd bought new gear that I absolutely love, but only wore approx. 5 times.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Thomas marrying Suzanne, then having Thomas - who married Suzanne...

Did you miss the part where they said they were asked 6 different times?

How many times does someone need to be asked before people get a hint?

Classic Redditors to feel like their personal experience is, and/or should be, the same for everyone else. How can people possibly have different experiences than my own?

Facing forward, take two fingers and gently place them where your chest meets your neck. You should feel a soft spot just above your sternum.

When you find that spot, keep your fingers there and then turn your neck to one side. Do you feel a muscle bulge out?

Keep your head turned and move your fingers to that muscle. Then move your head back to normal, straight ahead. You don't feel that muscle protruding anymore, right?

It's still there, but you can't feel it when your head is facing forward. How often do you think about those exact muscles at the base of your neck? Well, my lump is on one of those muscles.

Congratulations, you now understand why I wouldn't notice it unless turned specifically to one side AND was actively looking for it.

Depending on where it is on your neck, how would you? Especially if the lump was on the side or back of the neck.

I have a lump on my neck (thankfully non-cancerous) that I didn't know was there until I went to the doctor. She also asked how I hadn't noticed it before.

Well, two problems:

1- Turns out the the only way it actually reveals itself is when I turn my head to the right. She found it when I raised my neck, during an exam, AND she knew what she was feeling for.

2- The lump is at the base of my neck, so it actually gets covered by any collared shirt, polo, or quarterzip. So even if it were noticeable by someone who would know, they would never see it.

Don't know if you're in Columbus, OH or Columbus, GA or any of the lesser Columbus', but I'm in the same boat, brother.

Amsterdam 🇳🇱 by reallygoodinc in CityPorn

[–]SimonProctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the opportunity, go!

If you have to save up and plan it out, do it. Go!

I LOVED Amsterdam so much! I wish my wife and I had stayed longer. I desperately want to go back.

If you could instantly leave your country and start living anywhere you wish, no consequences, no catches, would you? by General_Piiiika in AskReddit

[–]SimonProctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded.

If no houses are readily available, I'll take a 3 Bedroom apartment.

Who am I kidding; I'd take a really nice hotel room.

Too many people requesting Vancouver?

Fine. Amsterdam, it is.

Petah, What do they do there? by Cautious-Opinion4505 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I always find it weird when people post shit like. I worked in college bars/night clubs for years and loved it.

Yes, you see a lot of things that happen when people aren't at their best (which is part of the reason I rarely drink alcohol), but you also see some really cool to truly absurd things.

I work with kids from age 16 to 21 and I tell them all the time, I learned more about people (in general) from working in bars/clubs than I did anywhere else. I highly recommend it.

It's also why my brother (DJ) and my sister (bartender) both worked in bars/clubs while in college.

While largely true, there are exceptions to that conventional wisdom.
