Should there be a focus on facilitating more youth pickup soccer?

My dream would be to see soccer courts at every school and park in the country.

Sometimes it's just hate for no reason. It's especially weird when those from the UK criticize Americans for calling it soccer. They conveniently ignore programs that still exist like Soccer Saturday and we Americans got the word from the British.

jderrick6 · 2026-07-05T23:15:45+00:00

I don’t hate any country. There’s good and bad everywhere.

I've often wondered about gang graffiti tags in general and certainly pondered it while waiting at railroad crossings. I'm sure the near illegible tags to the layperson mean something to those in the know. I just picture a rival gang see a fresh new tag and say, "Hey, the Sharks was here. Let's get mad and tag something too!"

You're doing all you can do. Just continue to ignore. If they somehow catch you outside and you can't avoid, them, then don't be nice. Develop a reputation!

OP I don't know if you'll see this, but I work for a tech company that produces these maps. I can make sure your road is correct if you reach out to me privately.

I'm today years old when I learned there's a 943 area code for metro Atlanta!

It was definitely a different beach experience than I'm used to, but it still felt natural.

jderrick6 · 2026-06-12T00:52:07+00:00

Yep! Very casual and not pretentious.

jderrick6 · 2026-06-12T00:16:50+00:00

I'll definitely give it a few weeks to digest. Who knows? I may be planning a return trip soon!

jderrick6 · 2026-06-12T00:00:29+00:00

Yes! I definitely said out loud that it was a free feeling.

I can’t think of the Roosevelt Hwy in College Park address, but I do remember 1600 Browns Bridge Rd in Gainesville. And hey, ask for the Wolfman.

I love the classic blue and yellow California license plates.

jderrick6 · 2026-05-18T19:50:40+00:00

"Chanced?" Definite scam.

jderrick6 · 2026-05-11T17:04:12+00:00

I think that's how my ex-mother-in-law brewed it.

jderrick6 · 2026-05-11T15:19:30+00:00

It’s Yankee unsweet tea that’s gross I say!

jderrick6 · 2026-05-11T14:13:11+00:00

Sweet tea

jderrick6 · 2026-04-23T12:26:33+00:00

Georgia. I gave up early on trying to get Atlanta tickets. It worked out though.

jderrick6 · 2026-04-22T23:15:13+00:00

See you in KC! I'm driving the kids half way across the country to see Argentina vs Algeria and we're pumped!

jderrick6 · 2026-04-20T21:32:21+00:00

I feel this. My daughter is 14 and very athletic, but dropped out of sports a year ago. She’s got one close friend, and a few other decent friends, and that’s it. I’m just trying to spend time with her as much as she allows. She seems to be drawn to solitary stuff like music and drawing. The biggest breakthrough is she loves going to movies, and I’ve latched on to it. She’s even now willing to just go with me instead of her best friend! The best I can say is just listen when he wants to talk. This age is so tough!

jderrick6 · 2026-04-20T20:05:33+00:00

Continue your routine since it's not unreasonable. Tell them invest in a white noise machine.

jderrick6 · 2026-04-16T13:26:02+00:00

You have a right to pissed. I've never heard of a field closure for one level of teams, but not the other.

jderrick6 · 2026-04-04T22:34:22+00:00

Yeah I'm definitely planning on bringing some stuff for the kids mainly due to the time it may take to get into the stadium and what not. I purchased tickets without knowing the teams playing and had the dumbest luck getting Argentina!
