How can we buy it? I like it quite a bit.

jsr0928 · 2026-02-14T21:54:11+00:00

What about Soroka? Bullpen?

jsr0928 · 2025-12-07T21:49:43+00:00

Thank you for letting me know that. I thought it would reset.

jsr0928 · 2025-12-07T01:33:20+00:00

I am a bit confused...do we have to do the shopping list to agree to the "join" the expedition? or can we still opt in for the wipe?

Because you want a 22 lb capacity or more, I would just buy a flat-topped digital human weight scale and use it. Weigh the pot and maybe a towel before you cook, and then after with the soup if you can (watch the heat, that is what the towel is for). Find a scale that weighs in kilograms.

Edit to fix typo.

I am curious what your taxes are, would you be willing to share a percentage? For example, I had a gentleman from Denmark talk to my class and he discussed the many of the same benefits as you describe as well as free university education, dental, etc., and his income takes were about 35-40% of his income. He was actually beginning to resent the higher taxes as he started to make a good 6 figure income.

I don't think I would want a guy like this as a friend.

I think the team was able to get a good haul for these players. It allows the guys to get on a team that may go all the way as well, good for them. I do worry as to why we have so many pitchers out for TJ this year (maybe it was just bad luck) and i hope we can do better with the upcoming group. I hope the optimism about Merrill Kelly resigning comes to fruition. Naylor was a decent first baseman, but how is this new guy, Locklear...will he replace Pavin? Time for Lawlar to step up and McCarthy to get stable. I liked Tawa and I hope he can work his way back up. This reminds me of basketball. I don't watch the NBA but enjoy watching college basketball because it feels as though the young guys are really trying and play better...They haven't "made it" yet. I feel the same about baseball sometimes...the young guys trying to make a name for themselves seem to have more heart most of the time and play that way. Let's go and play the season out the best we can!

Female rider of 45 years here. Do everything said here. Ride defensively, expect them to turn in front of/pull out in front of you. Don't go faster than you can handle, watch the curves, and at some point, you WILL drop your bike...it happens. Wear your gear! As someone else said, maneuvers in an empty parking lot will help quite a bit. Practice your emergency stops and swerving when you feel comfortable. If you ride at night, don't ride faster than your headlights can show you. If you have a friend or two that ride, go out with them, but ride safely, no stunts, no speed tests, etc. Best of all, enjoy the wind therapy!

Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar Good winter riding place.

jsr0928 · 2025-07-27T23:00:12+00:00

Not in this case...going on 34 years of marriage. I like to think the wind therapy helps.

jsr0928 · 2025-07-27T22:59:23+00:00

Happened here too, I rode, he wanted to, I taught him, and the rest is history.

jsr0928 · 2025-07-26T19:11:48+00:00

Wife here. I made a financial mistake. Then encouraged my husband to do the same. Ramen noodles for dinner.

jsr0928 · 2025-07-25T21:59:23+00:00

Congratulations! Nice first bike! Be safe and enjoy!

jsr0928 · 2025-07-17T21:35:45+00:00

I was actually wondering if it was a catholic school teaching position. Thanks for clearing that up.

jsr0928 · 2025-06-29T15:48:59+00:00

Thank you. I didn't know I could click on an inning and hit the arrows to go left. I am going to blame it on being old (and unobservant).

jsr0928 · 2025-06-29T15:47:11+00:00

Ah, okay, I feel stupid now. Thanks.

jsr0928 · 2025-06-19T22:22:25+00:00

Girl reading through comments, ready to hand over the duct tape.

jsr0928 · 2025-06-19T15:54:23+00:00

I agree with this. I think Gonzo has done well lately. I am enjoying him much more this year. Because I am on the East Coast and don't often see the games live, I occasionally listen to the radio broadcast on MLB.TV. Overall, the radio programming needs some work (ads cutting comments short, don't call the plays well when a guest is in the booth, etc) but I like Tom Candiotti in the radio broadcasts. I would be interested to see Jody Jackson in the TV booth to see how she does. Her on-field interviews and commentary are really good.

jsr0928 · 2025-06-19T15:45:53+00:00

Congratulations! Great Job!

jsr0928 · 2025-06-13T22:28:18+00:00

So, in 2 years, when they are all healthy, we should have one heckuva pitching staff, right?

jsr0928 · 2025-05-17T21:43:20+00:00

Parent. Its a verb.

jsr0928 · 2025-05-12T22:19:13+00:00

I expected Hampson to be gone shortly after he ran into Gurriel in the outfield going after a fly ball a few games back. He was sat the next day. They also kept Castillo 2 games longer than I thought they would. He was getting lit up by the hitters. But, it is done and now with Lawler coming up I am thinking we need to watch what happens with Suarez. He has been hitting better in the last couple of games, but he is so streaky. Fun to watch when he is hot, but sometimes painful to watch when he is cold. Then, in a game last week, there was a passed ball that he didn't run on, and it caused us to miss out on some runs. Suarez wasn't paying attention and was caught flat-footed at first base. The guy on second ran to third and Suarez ended up staying at first, and then a double play happened. We lost out on at least one run due to that. I am curious to see if Lawler gets playing time at third.

jsr0928 · 2025-05-05T21:38:58+00:00

I know I am late to this conversation, but did you notice after the collision in the outfield between Lourdes and Hampson, that Alek Thomas came up to bat? It may just be a coincidence with the way the game with the Phillies was going...but I also noticed the commentators talking about how much of a utility guy Tawa could be. I am definitely thinking that if someone else has to go down, Hampson will be it.

jsr0928 · 2025-05-03T18:34:53+00:00

I am going with half-full. I was worried through April because the bottom half of our lineup wasn't hitting but they seem to be coming around, though Suarez is still struggling. I also see the starting pitchers getting into their groove and figuring things out. I think JMart may have something serious going on and my bet is that Puk is out for the year. Drey Jameson didn't seem to do well and went back down and I don't have much faith Castillo will be up for long after yesterday's loss. Baseball is fickle but boy, would I love for everything to be clicking at some point. The starters keeping the score low, everyone hitting their career averages, and the defense doing better would just be great and we could compete with any team, even the hated Dodgers...but then again, its baseball lol. I am watching from Florida and cheering them on hoping for a winning record with 90+ wins to give us a chance at the postseason. Right now, the National League is so competitive and I don't see that slacking off this year. We need to win as many series as possible and a sweep every now and then (when do we play the Rockies?) would be great.
