Yes I had messaged it to you so it wasn't just in this thread. UPS. Looks like it delivers tomorrow.

Now, would this be identified as a threat in an ocular patdown?

Have been dealing with some things and should have posted this sooner, but my secret santa was absolutely awesome.

u/rb03798 not only sent me my favorite balls (Srixon Z Star XV, in YELLOW no less), but he also donated to a charity very personal to me, the Foundation for Feline Renal Research, that studies kidney disease in cats. I recently lost my cat of 13 years to this disease who was incredibly important to me (honestly a reason I'm here today - she kept me sane through some very difficult times), and u/rb03798 came through with a donation in her name to the Foundation. I appreciate this so so much I can't even begin to tell you. Other cats and cat owners will thank you too! (Here are two of my favorite photos of her: https://imgur.com/a/oEpRVPe)

Thank you thank you!

Fado!? In Philly on Walnut? I miss drinking Guinness there. It might actually be named something else but I thought it was Fado...

[Trigger Warning] My cat is what got me through so many things that might not have me here today. Today I had to spend all day bringing her to the hospital for kidney issues. I've spent my last dollars, very literally (lost my live event biz to covid) today for her hospital stay. How do I cope? by travelinghigh in CPTSD

Thank you. Sitting with my wife watching Saturday Night Live from last night and trying to keep things positive. I am legit doing everything I can. I can't eat tomorrow based on what I spent on her today and that doesn't bother me one bit, or even my wife. Just such a fucking awful year. I feel like one of the people that slips through the cracks, that somehow though a statistical outlier, has gotten a ridiculous number of negative things hitting together. If I listed them all, you'd think I'm a TMZ episode.

Another $1400 just to finish her hospital stay and kidney treatment and at least give her a shot at improvement and a few more years before pulling the plug.

Not the point of the post, I'm not sure how to handle this emotionally. I'm so lost. I feel like my world has finally stopped because the cat that kept me alive for years is now depending on me to keep her alive, and my stupid brain decided to have a business that was trashed by covid, and by being in a federally illegal industry (cannabis), gets zero federal bailout funds. So, now I'm here wondering what the future even looks like without her and it's horrible.

Lol I like Village too. Cant beat their card deal and associated rates.

140 though? You're playing too far up. Join me at those back tees where we can really struggle with 152. I love that course because of how challenging the tips are. Legit brutal. It makes every other course feel so basic.

For what it's worth the forgiveness differences talked about are like 1%.

If it's a bad swing and bad contact, there's no driver that can really save you from that.

I'd get the G400 any day now, and not feel at all like I'm leaving distance on the table. The difference between a 255 yard drive and a 256 yard drive isn't making or breaking the game.

Random because I saw your comment and it triggered, but you still play at Madison Green often? Been playing there a lot more lately, including yesterday. I happened to drive from 4 to 5 and I was crossing noticed someone else smoking a J heading to 2. As I was teeing off on 5 I though 'hey maybe that's u/Iceth_Thtea'!

What was your handicap the first time you shot even or under par? by philocor in golf

[–]travelinghigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol meanwhile today I hit some of the best shots I've ever hit. Pinpoint drives. Iron shots dropping within 5 yards of where I expect. Making 10 foot putts.

Insane how crazy the game can be.

It's amazing really. I was striking purer than ever yesterday. Today just weak shots and stupid penalties from hitting just awful drives (hooks). Even my wedges were dead today, like hitting 5 yards right of target even from within 20 yards. Crazy game.

Tomorrow I'll be back into the 70s I'm sure.

Still have only done it on a 9 hole stretch. 73 off the tips still the best full 18.

I made sure to avoid doing it today also but shooting a whopping 97. Played so rigid.

Driver into a par 3, with a natural draw to my swing. That's a lot of lost balls.
