I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
Well Dam , that was discourgaging. They just got out played 24/26-- - - - 25/20— -20/25 - - -& 25/27 -close but no cigar, was playing from behind most the night.
@approxinfinity said in Our Ladies still staying very aggressive:
My son is the setter for his high school team. Gonna have to see if we can catch the KU games here. ESPN?
Maybe but doubtful - - -KU ladies most of their’s have been ESPN + – - two games one on ESPNU --the other was on ESPN 2
The fountain is being rebuilt from the ground up over the winter. It needed a total recast of the base and replacement of the plumbing system. It is set to be ready for graduation 2025.

Wow , didn’t see that coming- -things that make you go hmmmmm
At the pace Virginia plays I bet he tried to retire at the end of last season, but just now got it done.
Now you play nice or you can just take your ball and go home lol
Well the Ladies won tonight- -wish I could say they look sharp but they didn’t–kind of sleep walking for most the night. Think maybe they wasn’t taking Colorado serious enough.
Yet they won Match 3----- -1 --25/22 - – 18/25 — 28/26 -then played their best game in he last one - -25/11 . - -In the third set they were up 24/18 and CU rattled off six straight points, before you rebounded to win.-- Bottom line they hung tough even though not playing their best, won 3-----1- -and 12 ----1 on the Season & ranked – 8th in the Nation – & 3-----0 in Conference , next up WV— Good Job Ladies

Steph isn’t human
Still thankful he didn’t just heave something up at the end of that elite eight game lol
From the original post, I actually prefer the remake of True Grit over the original because I hated the Mattie character in the original and wanted her to die because she came across as such a whiny brat. I much preferred Hailee Steinfeld’s performance because she made Mattie more sympathetic and likeable.
@RockkChalkk said in KU Baseball:
I enjoyed the College World Series the past few years and was pulling hard for KU who came close to making it. They beat some teams in the B12 tourny that did a lot of damage in the world series. I think strength of schedule hurt them. Am hoping others were starting to grow interest in KU Baseball and we might see a new section on this board for any news/updates on the team during the offseason. There is usually a ton of movement in the transfer portal. Anyone else like this idea?
I think I remember seeing that they had another good recruiting class from the Portal and Juco this year, they are getting better, - got better Coach , Better talent
I think the best option is still to go to the B10 or SEC. But if the ACC implodes would the B12 still be considered a power conference with the other 2 if they added let’s say FSU, Clemson, NC state, UL and Miami? I think it would be pretty damn tough to not consider that a power conference. The best thing that this conference can do is send a team to the CFB or 2 and win some games. Academically I think will take about anyone we have WVU and TT. If I’m not mistaken WVU is one the lowest rated D1 academic programs in the land. It was really silly to add them they brought very little to nothing to the table. Mostly average athletics and very small media market.
