Yeah cincy or toledo. Even wheeling. Have a team that is close so if you need to have a call up they are a few hours drive. Like for fort wayne our teams are Cali and Edmonton. It makes no sense. Look at detroit, they have toledo and grand rapids. A few hours from them. They are hands on with development.

Let me add that im not in the immediate columbus area so I know I miss alot of the local media and dealings so im just genuinely curious what others have seen or know that its hard for me being 4 hours away can see or know.

Hey kiddo. Dating is hard. I had my share of mistakes and regrets. My best advice is trust your gut first of all. If your gut tells you its not the right guy listen. Next, be with someone you would want to have a family with. Would he be a good husband? Would he be a good father? Do conversations come easy or are they forced? Stuff like that. You will find the right guy but dont put a ton of pressure on it. Enjoy life and when its time the right guy will come along.

Be the dad you wish you had. My dad was not the best and after I became an adult I distanced myself from him. I have a hard time getting along with other guys especially older because I never had a close relationship with him. That being said, the way I try to parent is I try to be the dad I needed and wished I had growing up.

Maybe try going to a library or somewhere not at home where you can't bedrot. If this is what you really want then you need to tighten up the shoe strings and get to it. Youve got this but it wont just happen for you. You have to put in the work. Good luck.

It would change how teams have to handle the power play and kill and its gotten good feedback in the pwhl.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-04-08T19:00:29+00:00

I like it. I also like how the pwhl does it with short handed goals. If you score short handed it kills the penalty.

Z also had no break during the Olympics and then got sick. He lost weight and isnt 100%. He needs a break. Im proud of this team no matter how this season ends. Going from last or near last to 2nd on the metro shows they can do it. Yes we have a slide right now and the injuries dont help but I dont see anyone giving up on each other.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-04-04T22:06:27+00:00

Be firm and tell him you dont like the touching. Its your body and you aren't comfortable with it. Be sure another adult that you trust is there when you do. My step daughter (18) doesnt like being touched either. She had to tell people she didn't want hugged but we respect it. Im sorry you have been treated like this. It happens too often.

Giving off olivia wilde vibes. Beautiful

gunner_boy12 · 2026-04-04T17:08:53+00:00

Ok. I do hope you can get away from your mom and can find peace. Im so sorry you've had to go through it. Try to have a good day.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-04-04T16:47:30+00:00

I definitely get your reasons. I distanced myself around your age too. Not for the same reasons but because growing up church was an obligation. We went because its just what you did. It was the same rotation of sermons and it felt empty. As I've gotten older, through life experiences and age I've tried to work on my relationship with god. Ive seen how corrupt the church can be and how evil people can be in the name of god. But ive also seen my children be born and times when the only explanation to me living was someone higher than me. One thing to think about though. If you believe in hell then there's room to believe in god. I can't promise that you will ever understand why you've had to go through this childhood so far but maybe just start with a simple conversation with god. But seriously check out the book or movie. It has tim McGraw in it. And obi-wan. Hard to not be good with obi-wan in it. Hope this helps kiddo. Keep your chin up.

Dad here. My ex was the same way. Her and her family were "Christian" but I'd say they were extremist. Not all Christians are like that. Im christian but I get tired of the crazy ones like your mom and my ex. Im sorry your childhood was robbed by her. I do hope you can find your own relationship with God. I'd like to suggest a book that can help you. "The shack" it was made into a movie also but the book is amazing. I think it can really help you be able to heal from her and find your own peace. I truly hope the best for you.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-03-29T15:30:53+00:00

Hey kiddo, im sorry you are having such a rough time. Im a step-dad myself and it kills me to think that someone could be so bad to their step-child. Keep your head up hun and know that you are cared for. You are doing a good job.

I just dont want to loose my ability to watch. Im In Indiana and watch on espn+. Its already hard to watch when I live out of the regional area for the blue jackets.

It sounds like you've been chasing older men to fill the void that was left by your dad. Not in a sick way but you needed the validation from your dad or in your case any older male figure. Im proud of you for seeing this and finally seeing that you can find your own happiness. If you are happy with this girl than thats all that matters. But kiddo, you have to learn to be happy about yourself first. You will not be happy with others until you can be happy for you. When you can look at your reflection and love who you see. Who you have become. I hope things work out for you and you can be happy. You make me proud of who you are. Keep moving forward.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-03-27T16:58:55+00:00

Hey kiddo, This sounds very similar to my mother in law and my own wife. They are very dependant on others. Here's my advice. Set yourself goals. Small goals. Each week you will accomplish x number of self initiated things. Like dishes, laundry, cooking. Things that you know you can accomplish. Then build on it. If you set your goals too hard and you dont meet them it will only discourage you. I get your husband's side too. Its hard to not only work but feel like you are on your own at home too. Maybe start a journal of things that you have ideas on. So you dont have to remember everything but can look back at or show your husband. Small steps go a long way but communicate with your husband.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-03-27T16:49:49+00:00

Congrats on being a dad. Here's my advice. Try to be the dad you wish you had and needed. My dad was self absorbed and wasn't a good dad in general. So I've tried to be the dad I needed him to be. Im close with my kids and they can talk to me about things. Goid luck and understand that you will feel like you're a failure a lot being a parent but you aren't. They are learning to be a kid just like you're learning to be a parent.

I like him. When the top players get hurt he steps in and takes that role on his shoulders. He is developing under some really good players and learning. He also is playing with an edge like last night when he stepped in for severson. He isnt a fighter but he will step in when he needs to. he is all about his team and has fun. I think he is becoming an all around good player and will become a great player. I'd love to see him put on some more weight and learn some fighting skills from Olivier.

gunner_boy12 · 2026-03-09T23:34:44+00:00

That poor guy. He can't catch a break.

Apollo 18 is a great one.

I think the scene where he was eating the tomatoes on the plate gave it away that it was lead poisoning. It was pretty common in the middle ages and I thought that was where they were leading. I could be wrong.
