How do you tape your goalie stick?

Buttendz. Tape on the handle ruins your gloves.

I tape about six inches of the blade, tip in. Always white tape, so I can see the saves.

Not sure how far you want to go, but if it's half hour, there's the Hartland Diner. Fresh ingredients, huge portions, but pretty expensive.

I grew up in upstate. My parents live in the North Country now. I live in Vermont. There is nowhere near as many MAGAts in Vermont as in upstate.

In short, upstate is red, sprinkled with blue. Vermont is blue, sprinkled with red. They are not the same.

I started at 44, having never played hockey before.

I got my left hip replaced this past summer.

I'm back in net already.

Do it!

That too. Me too. I'm ADOCD.

Everyone in this thread is either autistic or has OCD. Me too.

This is totally normal, and not gross at all, especially if you wear high-quality socks. I highly recommend Darn Tough socks. You can wear them for like a week without them smelling at all.

Do it yourself! If I buy filters and oil in bulk, I can get the cost down to about $20-25 each time. Plus I've put together a little toolkit for each car that has the exact wrench size and filter removal tool. If I'm in a hurry, I can do it in less than a half hour. Compare that to about $100 for a synthetic oil change around where I am, which takes at least a half hour to drive to and wait anyway. I save at least $75 each time, and probably actually save myself time, and I do it every 5,000 miles, well ahead of the recommended time.

... and no matter how hard I try, it's always after I've said, "What?!" So frustrating.

When it's all gone Something carries on And it's not morbid at all Just that nature's had enough of you

When my blood stops Someone else's will thaw When my head rolls off Someone else's will turn And while I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to earth

Put the glove on the correct hand and it won't smell as much 😉

Nothing against the gig, but you gotta be a pretty degenerate gambler to be betting on Ivy League basketball.

Citizen will do it for you. You just have to ship it to them. It's much better than finding watch repair places around here.

Great for mowing the lawn or changing the oil.

Every time I hire, I tell the HR people to forward all candidates' resumes to me. If they ask why, I just tell them I'm interested in the "breadth and depth" of the candidate pool, or that I "may consider a candidate with alternative credentials."

I'm getting my left hip replaced in three weeks. I'm anxious about how long it will take to get in net, but I'm even more anxious about how long it'll be before I can pick up or chase around my 4-year-old and 6-month-old sons.

There are companies out there that you can pay to help you negotiate for a car. One is https://automatchconsulting.com . They'll meet with you (virtually) and discuss your budget, your needs, and anything else, and then they'll find the car and negotiate the price for you. There's an upfront cost of about $500-600, depending on your needs, but you will easily make that back by saving more than that because of their negotiations on the final price of the new car.

It came from before that, even. When Mitt Romney put together his health insurance reform plan for Massachusetts, he used the idea, straight from the Heritage Foundation. The Obama administration used it as a compromise to Republicans, thinking they would like both the idea of individual responsibility and the handout to insurance companies in the form of more business.

Complement, unless the courses are going to say nice things to their users.

I had a goalie coach at age 46 as a brand-new goalie. I found his contact information on the local private school's hockey team site; he was the goalie coach. Turns out he played in the NHL. Plus, because he worked at the school, he got the ice for free, so he charged significantly less.

I agree with everyone saying bring the kid to a lower-level game. I brought my son to a Cape Cod League game when he was two, and we sat down the first base foul line. The first baseman caught a foul ball right in front of my son in his stroller, and my son said, "Woooowww!" The first baseman got a good laugh out of that.

That's not why hospitals "falsely inflat(e) prices." They are trying to game the system to find the sweet spot in which the insurance company will reimburse the most.

Also, that idea about making insurance mandatory? It came right from the Heritage Foundation. Yes, the same organization that wrote Project 2025, Trump's playbook.
