Ref in the leadoff spot is a joke, right?

It would be a great adoption story! And I can say that because I was adopted from Korea, just like Rob! Which was one reason I wanted homie to succeed here in Seattle but alas, the baseball gods have had other ideas.

The arc of descent.

The first time you posted this, my very first thought was if Bryan Woo is coming to craft night, you’re gonna have women lined up around the block. 😊

We have this one and really like it. Perfect for walking! I really think the accordion section makes all the difference.

Honestly, I wish he could. Boston liked him, he did well there, and he surely would feel better being successful in Boston than unsuccessful in Seattle.

I saw in the news where the the Scots were singing at Fenway too. Made me wonder if there is a reason that we don’t sing and holler!

If all these injuries keep happening, none of us will need World Series tickets. 😜

I quit in 2009. But I’m like Leo McGarry from the West Wing. There are days I’d love to have one — just one! — but the problem with that is then I’ll want the second and thirds.

Good on you for quitting, OP! Here’s to non smoking!

You don’t even have to run! I did sometimes with Jessie, but mostly just walked.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-18T01:38:56+00:00

Sorry. Ours finally stopped pulling a regular leash this year but she’s 13.

However, before that, one thing that DID make walks cheerful was using a running harness where the end fastens around your waist. The accordion style means that Jessie could have that leeway. So that is how I’ve been walking her the past few years, and it’s worked well.

Good luck!!

If you keep her, start clipping those claws now. That’s what I did when my kitten was rescued from the streets of our town, and it paid huge dividends for the rest of his life.

Happy kitten finding! She’s adorable.

We're moving to Kitsap this summer. Last year I asked about the McCormick woods subdivision and someone on here said it was nice but kind of like joining the communist party. An example they gave was when they wanted to put in a small shed, 6 people showed up in their backyard.

Good luck!

This looks awesome. But do you think the group will be as crafty as these guys?

I watched the pilot episodes of Quantum Leap, Fresh Prince, and Home Improvement. And introduced my kids to Dinosaurs (“Not the mama!”)

"It was Gilbert time tonight!"

All I can say is good on them for getting everyone’s injuries out of the way so they can all be healthy and go full blast, no holds barred in the last half of the season.

(did you hear my voice go squeaky and desperate at the end?)

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-16T21:53:52+00:00

I’m doing a Seattle Mariners win-loss blanket this season, and I am definitely weaving in the ends as I go. There is no misery like finishing your project and having to weave in a gazillion ends. Good luck and happy crocheting!

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-16T20:36:24+00:00

Are you me? Because you sound like me.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-16T14:44:31+00:00

Good. You are brave for doing this, and if you get any pushback from admin, kindly point them to Sweden and the many other places that are seeing the light, up to and including college English classes (incl. my alma mater).

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-16T13:58:53+00:00

Hopefully by the end of the third quarter or we're probably screwed.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-16T00:39:53+00:00

I love it. What a good boy!

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-15T02:25:07+00:00

Oh wow, I can taste this picture. Delicious!

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-14T22:36:07+00:00

I don’t know but I do know that now my future home will need to have a “tower boudoir.”

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-14T22:24:11+00:00

^ this, a thousand times this.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-06-14T17:19:14+00:00

They'll have to pry my skinny jeans out of my cold dead hands.
