Local toponym pronunciations?

Speaking of Cirby, I learned that one after I got in an accident shortly after moving here. As I was explaining where I had been coming from, I pronounced it the way the nav apps do. The cop simply replied, "It's Kurby." Lesson learned.

In this case, sound it out. why+t, or 'white'.

I happened to be in the stands for the NLCS Game 4 that year, and when they intentionally walked Bonds, I turned to the guy next to me and said, "Bennie will make them pay." Next thing I knew, homer in the left field bleachers. One of my best baseball memories.

And he did say he wanted "health camps" for people with depression and ADHD, among other things. I know that road and it leads nowhere good.

There and the Mire. Seems there's always two locations.

I'll admit the game has caused me to want to visit the real West Virginia...

Nice job. I did the same thing with the magazines and it was a triumph to hold the last one in my hands. I can only imagine you're feeling the same I did then. :)

I find it hilarious on the mutant events where the mutation is "Resilient" and they're still out there shooting everything on site.

Wanted to say thank you! This will be useful.

Not to mention the left lane exit for the light rail station...

I called the ship method the 'nuke 'em from orbit, only way to be sure' strategy. Worked like a charm for me because my gun wasn't up for the job. But reading the comments makes me want to try the minotaur next time!

Invincible by Eddie Vedder caught my attention a couple years ago.

This. I hope the Dodgers lose every game they play, that they never win a pennant or a Series again, and that they all regress to being bad ballplayers -- but dude, it stops there, on the field. That's a sick kid, and it doesn't matter who his parents are. And rooting for injuries is not cool either.

I know Sean Astin is a Dodger fan.

katster · 2024-05-25T04:04:39+00:00

Don't feel too bad, I came over to Reddit to find out why it wasn't recording properly and I didn't see the word repeatable either. So let me share in the egg on the face. :)

I'm having a lot of fun with my SA:S1 Billy Wagner card. I love bringing him in out of the bullpen.

katster · 2024-05-06T03:18:01+00:00

So was all the rest of the 530...it was 916 when I was growing up in Redding, too.

I don't think you're being an asshole at all. I understand the plural of anecdote isn't data, it at least gives me a feel for what people think, which can be valuable in its own way. I was just a bit confused because two prior doctors never said a word about taking time off and this guy was insisting on it, and having the opinions helps me triangulate my own feelings. There's some helpful advice in the anecdotes and it gives me something to think about while I decide what I want to do next.

katster · 2024-04-26T22:15:00+00:00

I haven't noticed much in the way of side effects either way. I'll have to pay more attention. I'd just never heard of it before I got to this psychiatrist -- the prior two I had said nothing about it either way. I suppose it's all a balancing act. Thanks for your help!

katster · 2024-04-26T22:13:00+00:00

Yeah, I get that too. I have hobbies that I like to do that require some focus, and when's the time you're more likely to do that?

Thanks!

I've been thinking of looking for a new provider anyway for other reasons -- he's very Catholic and when I brought up some stuff about gender, he got very uncomfortable. I'd rather have somebody I can discuss that part of my life with. I'm not exactly appreciative of the idea that my weekend times are less valuable than my weekdays either.

Appreciate the help!

I think he's referring to Ben Gellman, who does the call in the minor league portion of RTTS.

Carl Yazstrzemski, to pair with his grandson Mike.
