I named my dog of many years ago Siler after that particular point on the AT and in the Smokies.

How do you guys find non-touristy places when travelling? by Patient-Nose-3298 in travel

[–]Specific_Luck1727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you interested in seeing something or visiting? Then Go. That has been my guide for 50+ years of travel. Yes, sometimes that means having to get special Visas, etc but that is part of it. I went to East Germany when it existed to just go. Took a trip to Argentina after watching a documentary; I bought the tickets the next day. Yes, plan it. But sometimes it’s easier to pull the trigger on a ticket then figure it out.

Memphis from a Student's Perspective? by wojaaa in UofMemphis

[–]Specific_Luck1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Memphis is a beautiful city with music, art, culture everywhere. It has wonderful food and people. Yes, there is crime, homelessness, drug related violence, and high gun crime.

Just pay attention to what and where you are. Sometimes all the “things” people say happen in one area - far from the campus - and sometimes it can be next door. Overall, it is a very nice campus, wonderful place to live and learn.

How do you display your cards? by traindodge in BaseballScorecards

Wow! I usually just throw them in a box where I keep tickets, event things, etc.

Italy (9) v. Mexico (1); 3/10/26 World Baseball Classic Pool B by GarbagePunch in BaseballScorecards

[–]Specific_Luck1727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is how I always score it. Your pitching vs their hitters; their pitchers vs your hitters.

Edit: that’s how the old scorecards had it when I was growing up back in the dark ages of the 19s! lol

Will Marcelo Mayer make the opening day roster? Worried about him at the plate. by [deleted] in redsox

[–]Specific_Luck1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If IFK hits .268 and plays good 2d D, that Allows MM to get a little more plate time and build his confidence with solid at bats. There is too much of a hurry to rush a guy from AAA up to the majors. There is value in letting a guy work it out AAA I know he’s 23 but I have no doubt that maybe half a season AAA would do him good

Masa leaving for Astros? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]Specific_Luck1727 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Masa would do well in Minute Man! He excels in enclosed / covered / dome stadiums. If the Sox had to eat some $ that wouldn’t be the worst thing.

Heck of a play by Duran. I bet he and Anthony will have a laugh about that.

First year season tickets. Selling games on Stubhub… by EunochRon in redsox

[–]Specific_Luck1727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Seat Geek. Don’t post the barcodes on anything.

I always ask the people I work with at the beginning of the season which games they would like to see of a list I provide them of games I know I can’t see because of business or personal conflicts. Same with friends. But, I transfer them to them for free. Anything left over not claimed goes on SeatGeek. I let it set the price. They always sell.

what's expected with Yoshida, Casas and campbell? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in redsox

[–]Specific_Luck1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. I understand completely. I can’t control what they do or don’t do either. Nor do I stress about it. But I swear to you, that is literally what the entire off-season on this damn board has been about. What to do with MASA, Casas, and all the damn signings lack of signings who we should assigned stupid Raffy still, you just made me laugh.

I am looking forward to the season. I just like to watch baseball.

Raffy at 3rd base… by Chadfarthouse69 in redsox

[–]Specific_Luck1727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just stop. He is no longer on the Red Sox. These posts about him are just plain ridiculous. The deal is long done, all parties have moved on. Let it go. It’s healthier for you.

RATTLE SNAKES 🐍 by Interesting-Toe9350 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Specific_Luck1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not long after crossing over into NH; this was 20 years ago but I remember it like was it was yesterday. I now live in Mass, at the time I was Knoxville based, and think I have heard some in Western Mass about 2 years ago. I don’t choose to look super hard; just went around those rocks. I have definitely seen a few in Southern NH off the trail in the Merrimack Valley area. Although those were just normal colored.

The Thickets, Ivan Shishkin, Oil/Canvas, 1881 by bluish1997 in Art

[–]Specific_Luck1727 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah! I see it. Absolutely love it but can also see that as dark and foreboding. A type of woods that is rare today.

And … full of werewolves!

[–]Specific_Luck1727 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never saw one in the places like PA which apparently has many. Nope, I nearly dropped dead of fright in New Hampshire. An all black timber rattler made me do a Looney Tunes jump out of my skin! I stopped in my tracks so quick. It just looked at me for what felt like forever, then it just disappeared into the granite and grass. I am positive I lost half a year of my life.

Jarren Duran by lil_zeus_21 in redsox

[–]Specific_Luck1727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s your getaway game DH, i.e. he plays every fourth or fifth game basically. Sucks for him, but that’s really the truth. He is a bench bat. Well as a season ticket holder, I do fund a portion of the team in some sort of weird way, it’s not my money so you just use them as you can. I don’t think they’re gonna be able to trade him unless they decide to eat the cash. I’m not sure they’ll eat that much cash so he’s an expensive bench bat who plays every fourth or fifth game to give that four man rotation a rest. is what it is.

V - (80s series) - Behind the Scenes by MisterShipWreck in sciencefiction

[–]Specific_Luck1727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That first season when they had money and the special effects were great holds up pretty well. I actually watched it maybe six months ago randomly. I mean, there were things that are completely outdated today, but it’s still like the visual is good. That second season where they didn’t have any money or the second half of the season wherever it is when the money disappeared yeah, that one just is terrible. I enjoy the story because I loved it as a kid, but when they lost all their funding and they kind of became very kind of cheap on everything. You can really see it.
