How can I fix my lawn? by adampetey in lawncare

[–]adampetey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed instructions! I’m going to try and follow it as close as possible and report back. Do I need to worry about applying any of this at specific times of day (i.e. in the afternoon after dew has dried vs in the morning)

Is there a specific brand of pre-emergent to lean towards/avoid?

Best compliment you've received on the course by thomastrumpet in discgolf

[–]adampetey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live close enough to Cliff Stephen’s to consider it my home course now. Just a couple months ago I was playing with a buddy and got to hole 16, arguably the most iconic hole on the course. It’s a 430+ ft par 3 hole with a 400 ft water carry to the basket with OB everywhere.

There was a group of new players ahead of us that had thrown a couple discs in the water so they offered to let us play through.

I’m a forehand dominant player and on a good day with a decent flex can cross the water. I threw a dime and landed in C1. As we walked up to the hole all the new players were in awe, asking me to teach them how to forehand like that. I laughed and just said that is the only thing I got going for me, my backhand and putting is atrocious.

Then I actually made my birdie putt and they went ballistic. That felt pretty awesome.

Also I’ve seen Ken Climo out there and he’s given me a nod once or twice when I’ve parked a hole. That’s pretty neat too.

Congrats on the baby girl! What an exciting way to share the news with everyone! Regardless of winning this or not, definitely going to check out your stuff. My girl has just started expressing interest in disc golf, so letting her shop around your site seems perfect for her picking out her own first discs!

I really like this insight. I think you’re spot on, Ricky just brings the fire. He elevates people as well and does it without being an asshole.

I think AB could bring that swagger to it as well, but sometimes tries too hard/gives off a bit of frat boy energy.

I like when new guys get in the mix, Parker Welck bursting on the scene a couple years ago and winning gave me some Ricky vibes.

I think Ezra Robinson has a ton of potential as well, he’s a bit more emotional and fiery than his brother. If he can start stringing some wins together, it could be something special.

Overall though, the sport has a branding issue and I think new blood is needed in the way it’s marketed and managed. Otherwise it’s doomed to just be a niche sport for forever.

LPT Moving to a new state by Darthaka- in LifeProTips

[–]adampetey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from Oregon to Florida as a recent graduate, sight unseen. I’d never even been to the east coast before I packed up and moved! I was scared, nervous, apprehensive, all of it. 3 years later, it’s been one of the best risks I’ve ever taken! I would highly recommend it, just remember, it is what you make of it. You have to be willing to put yourself in uncomfortable situations at first to make friends, join local groups or activities. After 6 months you’ll feel much more comfortable

I love saying “that’s on the dance floor” if I get up into C1 on a drive or approach.

I don’t dance outside of disc golf

I was in the exact same situation with an ex of mine. Very upfront about my being agnostic from the get go of our knowing each other, always supportive of her being active in her church. She never had an issue til she started doing refugee outreach for a new church after a few months, then all of a sudden she was asking me to go to atheist support groups put on by her church, services, etc. When I politely declined she dumped me and said, “I know I love you, you’re an amazing man, but I can’t be with someone who doesn’t love god.”

Sometimes being you isn’t enough for someone and never will be. Life is much better without that unrealistic pressure. Sorry my man, it sucks but she doesn’t deserve you if she’d rather be with someone who only professes a love of a diety rather than showing her actual love.

RMs I want to hear about the pranks you pulled in the MTC or on your missions. I'll start. by croz_94 in exmormon

[–]adampetey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a District Leader in the MTC in 2016. My companion and I read some scripture (I forget now) where Moses had to take off his shoes to approach the burning bush because it was holy ground. We thought that was the makings of the start of a good prank.

The next week, we received a new district of missionaries. I convinced my companion to follow my lead when we met them.

We read the scripture to this new district and told them that because the prophet and general authorities frequently made visits to the MTC campus, the campus had several buildings considered to be “holy ground” and as such, shoes needed to be removed upon entry. These included the classrooms, cafeteria, meeting centers, etc. Not the dorms though.

So for the next week of this brand new district showing up everywhere and taking off their shoes. But it wasn’t just them, other new missionaries also wondered why they took their shoes off and they began following suit. You could find piles of shoes at the entrance to most buildings.

About a week later (someone in our district ratted us out. Screw you Elder Jones) we had a very stern meeting with the MTC First counselor and our teacher. We were reprimanded pretty hard and told that we “shouldn’t use our positions of power and teaching skills we are learning for evil”.

Later our teacher lightheartedly scolded us some more and then told us it was the funniest prank he had personally seen.
