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?

No, wait, agents and shoes have no influence on recruiting!!!
Athlete’s choose based on climate!!
And how cool the coach is.
And the celebrity attached to the school.
It’s all a flipping level playing field and randomness. NOT.
Yeah playing time was the issue and nothing has changed. Unless he could handle the ball at the d1 level he doesn’t have a real path to pt at KU any time soon.
Don’t put your hands on the offensive player. Defense has just gotten worse. And with an emphasis on 3pt shooting, teams are closing out harder and fouling more outside the paint.
It isn’t an issue of players just keep their hands up like they are supposed to. It is a problem caused by lazy defense.
Well we don’t need to be. We could agree that both parties are a mess that fuel two massive spin engines, warping and polarizing all news stories into two war camps. I like to think I’m not on the spectrum. It just happens to be the Republican business affiliations slinging the most obstructive BS these days.
@wissox On your first post (or anyones) click the gray box that says “not watching” it will give you the option to receive notifications. It’s nice to not receive every notification on some of the hopping threads like a game thread.
@JayHawkFanToo I feel that way too, but there are a lot of idiots out there that are easily parted with their money. I imagine they will be a flaming failure, but who knows what sneaker heads will do?
