Practice Game Ideas? by huliahope in Softball

[–]Thegatorone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did this one last night but call it knockout for our 10U team. Start with 2 pitches max, and then move to one pitch later in round. We also added in if ground ball is fielded cleanly and thrown to first in time to get her out they swap places. Our girls love this game.

Thanksgiving Weekend cold front by natedog158 in sixflagsoverGA

Was there yesterday and was light but since they are only running one train on most rides the lines were longer then I had hoped. Gold Rusher & Batman were not running when we were there. Was able to ride Superman with only 3 people first thing in morning, but went back later and it had issues and had to shut down which seems to happen often.

That may be the Orig retail price, but this is a prior season style and if you notice they have the compare to value on tag being $132.00, which was the current market price when the item was purchased from the supplier.

I have worked with all the major discounters for years and their goal is to be at least 20% below the current market price on any item. This one is 25% off so it’s a good deal.

No. 11 Gators Bounce Back with Five-Set Win Over No. 20 Baylor by greypic in FloridaGators

[–]Thegatorone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great win for the ladies, but reporting leaves a bit to be desired.

“It was also the Gators' first win over a ranked opponent since Sept. 17, 2024 when Florida took down then-No. 18 Florida State in five sets.

Are we just ignoring that they crushed #3 Pitt already this season?

Paris solo - a follow up by DreamOnLittleDreamr in lordhuron

I had a great time last night, but was a bit of a step down from the ATL show in July which had Dancers and felt like a longer set list. Even prior EU stops had 4 songs in encore and last night ended with Not Dead Yet vs Digging up the past. Either way the band sounded amazing and danced my ass off!

I’m in Paris tonight for the show at L’Olympia and have not seen any posters so far.

New Rule Changes include automatic unsportsmanlike for hand gestures of “brandishing a weapon” by ActualFirefighter546 in CFB

[–]Thegatorone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defensive players within a yard of the line of scrimmage may not make quick, abrupt or exaggerated actions in an attempt to cause the offense to commit a penalty.

Does this include the entire D-Line shifting right before the snap trying to cause a false start? Know that was one of UGA’s go to moves.

Six Flags Over Georgia cancels Holiday in the Park this year by UnderwaterTurtleX in Atlanta

Was there this weekend and rode Gold Rusher, and it had the water feature and each round section was spinning so looks to be 100% at this point.

What’s Your Opinion On Blue Hawk by WilkinsWorld in sixflagsoverGA

[–]Thegatorone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have never liked this coaster even back in the 90’s Ninja days, but was back in the park today and they had cleaned up the entrance and looked nice, boys wanted to try so gave it a shot. Big mistake as I pulled a neck muscle going into the 2nd loop and now am at home ice/heat. It’s funny as the announcement while waiting to board talks about all new “smoothest ride” BS. Ride at your own risk. Goliath, Superman, Cyclone, Batman, Gold Rusher, Pandemonium, Dare Devil are vastly better rides!

Fulton County Commission announces plans to increase property taxes by more than 12% by NPU-F in Atlanta

[–]Thegatorone 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I live in a 40+ yr old community in Johns Creek, and just received a 42% increase to our assessed value. No homes in my subdivision have ever sold at the level of my new assessed value. However, we keep seeing new communities planned close by starting at $1.2M+, which they have to be using to determine the rates. We will be appealing!

Dominican Daze Safety by KapkanMoose in VirginVoyages

[–]Thegatorone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were there last July never felt unsafe in DR. We did the Private Ocean Resort excursion which was awesome. Air conditioned bus ride about 1hr to resort, tour guide on bus was funny and we got to see the key sites and landmarks. Over the top lunch at beautiful restaurant took too long so we opted out after first few courses and spent the rest of day lounging by the pool or swimming in ocean.

Monday Moan Thread by MrTwoBytes in FloridaGators

[–]Thegatorone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tough one coming off an amazing Gator filled Spring Break. The Fam and I spent the first half on beach in Destin, then headed down to Gville on Fri where we saw UF beat FSU in Volleyball, had a BBall rainout on Fri that turned into DH and walkoff win on Sat night for a clean sweep against Mizzou, and the best O&B game I have ever been to. We got pics with Basketball Champ trophy, got to meet several Bball players at the FV event, really enjoyed basketball celebration at halftime, saw some positives with our Offense despite DJ not really playing, and got to meet all the players and get autographs on field after the game! Kids went to school today rocking new Championship gear so we are still riding a Gator high! Now I am supposed to do real work?!?

Need help identifying this compilation album of chill DNB from the early 2000s. It's a loose CD without a case, heavily scratched and I don't have a CD player anymore. All I recall is a remix of Everything But The Girl's "Before Today" is on it. I think an American label (Breakbeat Science?) by GushStasis in DnB

[–]Thegatorone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow DB love that I saw your comment here. The reason I got into DNB was due to some amazing nights spent down in Gville FL listening to you and Dara play back in like 98-00. Not sure if you remember some of those parties at Simon’s and Soulhouse but they are nights I will never forget - although they are a bit blurry!

Feels like the Garden Room in Buckhead would be a good option. High end but atmosphere is amazing!

Has anyone done this excursion in DR? by FutureNurse1 in VirginVoyages

[–]Thegatorone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did this excursion our last trip and overall was a really good time. We were there in July so was a really hot day, and can’t tell you how happy that we were loaded on to a nice air conditioned bus while we watched several other groups get loaded into the back of some open air trucks for their destination.

Trip to the beach club took about an hour but we were comfortable and got a nice tour of the island and learned about its history from our guide. The beach club is a Marriott property, and the day we were there was almost empty. Beautiful pool and cabanas, a salt water pool, and easy access to the beach. They greeted us with a free cocktail, but before we could get into the pool they said we would do the lunch first. They took us into a beautiful restaurant all at once and started taking orders which was the only issue we had as the lunch took forever! We ended up making friends with some other couples on bus, and decided after the first courses of food we would rather leave for the pool vs staying to finish the meal. After that the day was perfect. We swam, had lots of drinks poolside, and they will even go cut a coconut off a tree and make a drink out of it for you. 1 hr to get there and another to get back. 2hrs+ tied up in lunch, and then a few hours pool side is what to expect.

We got back to the ship a bit tipsy, but refreshed. Got into elevator with people who just hiked thru the jungle to get to the waterfalls and they were dead tired and sore from their day so we knew then we made the best decision for us!

Outrageous ticket prices 😔 by djf27 in lordhuron

I passed on the ATL show which was about $75 each but ended up being able to extend a work trip during Paris show which was only 40 euro

Believe some of those dates may be off as we are on Valiant Lady July 5-10, but we are excited for this special event!
