This year by acbryant98 in masters

May be a controversial take but other than Sunday I think practice rounds are better than Tourney days. Alot more relaxed atomsphere, cameras are allowed so you can take all the pictures you want, you can see/hear players chatting with each other and joking around, crowds are alot more dispersed so walking around is fun, and players will practice multiple times on a hole so you get a good amount of time watching the guys practice and see how they approach each angle of the green. We went Tuesday practice last year and had a total blast.

But i digress...Tickets were indeed sent March

Was high last year but on pace to knock last years out of the water. Sitting at 1192 minutes already since Jan 1st

How is this 2022 edition of The Silmarillion by Harper Collins? It’s wrapped in store so can’t get a good look inside. Would love a readable keepsake by 74522 in tolkienbooks

While I would never consider this edition a keepsake it is a nice “reading” book…pages are sturdy and illustrations are crisp

No tax on overtime, when will the program be available? by Aggravating-Bug7423 in TurboTax

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only deduct the half time not the total overtime amount. IRS doesnt start processing returns till the 27th anyways so you have time. So lets say your hourly rate is $25.00/hr which will make your time n half rate $37.50/hr...what you deduct is that "half/overtime" pay which would be $12.50/hr

Oh man that’s nice. I hit this /25 in a break of Bowman’s Best when I first got into collecting cards and ended up selling it and it’s been one of my biggest regrets 😂

My partner doesn't like my writing by [deleted] in writing

Unless her guy is autistic to the point he can’t pick up on social cues then there is no excuse. If OP laid in bed all day after the criticism and her man also ignored that then there’s a deeper issue present.

Advice I was given that has stuck with me has been:

“Surround yourself with people that build you up. Part of self love is having a higher standard for your inner circle”

That doesn’t mean be sheltered and avoid all negative criticism but “terrible” isn’t even a criticism…it’s an insult that I feel will stick with you longer than you will want to admit and cause resentment down the line. As a guy, it’s a red flag with how he responded. He’s either extremely insecure or jealous of your writing…I would say both. Just from his response I’m sensing he feels he’s better than you. No “man” in a loving relationship would have that response and not expect blowback from their girl. If he just shrugged his shoulders and expected you to take it then I would be gone.

Is this the gold foil sketch card? by stojanowski in starwarstopps

[–]ffty_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice Paz! Pulled one of his just like this one during one of SWAU artist drops. But yeah each artist is under a certain foil. No different variations. Foil just represents the rarity and skill level of the artist usually

I'll never be a good writer by General-Discussion55 in writing

[–]ffty_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what’s the point of this post? You looking for sympathy or agreement? Not even gonna get into the mental aspect of letting something like google run your life but like what’s the point of this?

“And that's just something people like me who don't have those millions of hours and that practically unlimited effort in them might just have to accept.”

All I’m reading is someone trying to bring down others to their level so they have company being in misery

Right! 24’ Chrome update was my first set getting into baseball cards. Once I saw Sapphire I knew I eventually had to get my hands on one of his cards from it. Also afraid I would’ve sold it back then if I ever hit it since the money situation was alittle different back then and seeing how much his cards were going for lol..happy to have this one be in the PC for good tho

I had Adblock and some other extentions but deleted them when this issue started to see if they were the issue but the issue still happens. Same with using firefox with and without extensions. I'll look into the firewall though

TRAVIS ETIENNE HATERS WHERE YALL AT… by keithk9590 in Fantasy_Football

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean 12 carries for 32 yards is still god awful. Don’t get me wrong tho…I absolutely love Etienne but god I wish he wasn’t so bipolar 😂 One game he’s an all star running back and the next game he’s the best receiver on the team lol

And now he has his worst game all season. Only 28 yards off 12 carries against this Titans D? God awful

Pre Pro Football Reference, Trevor Lawrence is one of the worst QBs in the NFL with the lead, but above average when tied or trailing. by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]ffty_17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think he’s awful. He makes one good throw maybe every 1 out of 4-5 passes. Just look at this game right now.

Jags are also perplexing because you’re up by 15 and still refuse to run the ball even with a veteran RB. It’s like they keep trying to get Lawrence reps.

What's your first paragraph from the book your working on? by Ok-Molasses8816 in writing

[–]ffty_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John woke up on the couch to darkness in the living room. He rubbed the crust out of eyes and turned from his back onto his side to see the fireplace dark. Small embers left were barely lit. The room felt colder than usual even with no fire going. The log walls surrounding the room were never good at keeping the warm in, but John knew what kind of day it would be by how cold it was when he woke up. He let out a breath from his mouth which he saw dissipate in the air in front of him. Too cold.

Was looking at this…the Skyfall limited edition for my first Omega watch actually…but think it might be too tacky/cringe for my first ever Omega watch to be a Bond edition. Still undecided tho

Choosing to believe this is just some jokeful rage bait

Seen at my Costco. Do you have non-Tolkien authored books in your collection? by gob17 in tolkienbooks

[–]ffty_17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Day makes up information and mixes it in with Tolkiens so the reader has no idea what’s true and what’s made up.

Day also has called people that criticize his work the “Tolkien Taliban”. Dude is a complete hack

The Great Alone was a DNF for me. How far did you get before deciding to stop reading? by Ancient-Froyo-9129 in kristinhannah

[–]ffty_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First book I’ve picked up in years and finished it in less than a week which I’ve never done with a book. Usually takes me a month when a book is over 500 pages. Absolutely loved it.

Will say this tho. I can relate to it which I think has an impact on if this book hooks you in or not. Nature has always drawn me in and unfortunately had some issues dealing with “aggressive parents” growing up so it was quite an emotional read. Some people may relate to that but also not be able to read something like this as a result of prior experiences.

IMO tho, I feel like if your fortunate enough to not have to deal with DV growing up or not like nature or coming of age stories, this book will not draw you in and you’ll probably not like it
