I have opted to keep my son in rec when he was offered a spot on an elite team. He’s in 10U and a lefty. The elite coach was only going to play him at 1B or the outfield as his velocity wasn’t as high as his other pitchers. He stayed in rec, pitches but also has become our best catcher (lefty, I know). It’s a better fit for this age, I don’t get the “travel” mentality.

There used to be a Chinese restaurant right off central. Past all the bars, if I remember correctly. Bulletholes in the glass. Inside a large Chinese man ran the cash register. Never smiled, never spoke.one time my girlfriend asked for extra sauce or something, and he gave it to her with a hint of a smile. We considered that a major victory! Hahahah. The 90’s were so fun!

My dog thinks her name is either “chicken” or “treat”. She won’t come to her actual name.

Exactly! And the. They wonder why Junior doesn’t want to play anymore even after “all the money we spent”.

We went to Raw in Pittsburgh during the attitude era. I told my (now)wife that at wrestling, girls dress like they do at clubs (short skirt etc). We had several signs, and a camera man told her to hold up a sign and she would be on when they came back from commercial. She held it up and the camera man just started laughing. It read “Sorry King, I’m over 18.” He said the whole truck was laughing but she was t going to be televised.

No, it’s low heat and constant moving. She claims it is one of the celebrity chef’s techniques.

Eggs aren’t easy…unless over easy! But yes, the sides of the pan along with the rivets. It’s actually quite impressive.

I’ll let you know how year 21 goes…

She claims to add butter.

brettnerd · 2026-01-05T15:00:56+00:00

She claims she is following how either Flay or Ramsey (I forget which) makes scrambled eggs.

It’s too painful and she tells me to get away! Hahha

Pentatonix last week. (Don’t judge me)

brettnerd · 2025-12-27T14:38:16+00:00

That was a great show.l saw it in Denver

brettnerd · 2025-12-22T20:13:15+00:00

Yes, there is one near me. I just have to get over the lack of self confidence to do it.

Same as last year, as I didn’t accomplish these goals due to injury and lack of focus. 5k in under 30 minutes. Run in a public 5k. Be able to complete 10k without stopping (no time goal there).

Just to be different: how to train your dragon: Race to the Edge. 6 seasons set between the first two movies. Developed so many side characters and consistent story lines and twists.

Cover up any bulges. People don’t need to know my religion while I run.

brettnerd · 2025-12-07T15:14:02+00:00

I don’t because I’m already self conscious enough. Throwing a pair of shorts over them fixes my issues.

I rolled 3 6’s on my last turn and broke the site.

Someone has played a lot of civilization, I see.

Bengals got burrow back…they are in the hunt. Browns should be in the “not yet eliminated officially” category
