Ha Ha! Yes! Hitting Zero means there were no deductions. So no falls from stunts or tumbling. Youngest's team hit zero both days as well. You get a pin for hitting zero. It doesn't mean you will win though. The team that was in second place in dd's division had one fall. Her team was just happy because they finally beat a team from Tom's River, NJ that had beaten them twice last season. :p
Toms River NJ! I was just there yesterday 😊

its 1:00 am and it was.. an eventful day.

Just to make it short.. grandmah left us.


Kinda ironic considering all the things we did to meet her before she went and we couldnt see her.

We packed midnight of yesterday, we took a somewhat early bus, we arrived, had early lunch before we didnt had breakfast. mom was completely destroyed after being awake for 3 days taking care for my gran nonstop.
She went to sleep, while we were on the car, we got called that she passed out... mere blocks away from arriving.

Anyway, she was sent to the funeral home, we did the classic prayer and sigil, some of her daughrners will stay in the sigil for the full night then tomorrow will be the mass in a church.

Now im exhausted and going to bed.. will probably return home tomorrow late night or on tuesday.
I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers for your family.

Buddy, I haven't had that test either, so can't offer any insight. Just wondering if the physician could adjust the reason for the test, so that you wouldn't get hit with a high deductible from your insurance company. Did your doctor state any specific reason why he wanted you to have this? (No need to share the actual reason with us--I was just leaning more toward the possibility of him having a specific reason for it, or if it was more like--he thought it was just a good test to have for a man in your age group.)
@BuddyThomas, If there is no reason for the test except to make sure, I think that type of test is the most invasively uncomfortable and something that I have attempted to avoid all my 70 years. I was successful until last summer when I got that staph infection and they got all upset and concerned that since they couldn't find the source of the infection (or symptom) that they had to check my heart to be sure the nothing had settled there. (something I never heard of, but, apparently my chest was to thick to get a good picture externally) So, they froze my throat, that was an experience in itself, and by the time they inserted the tube I was out enough to not really notice it. However, as I woke up, it was awful. I started coughing and couldn't stop. Fortunately, a nurse had a magical way to get it to stop. She told me to breath in with my nose and out with my mouth and that stopped it. But, it still wasn't fun.

I know that all sounds awful, but, if it is necessary to check your stomach to make sure that all that wine you have consumed hasn't managed to make a tiny vineyard sprout up in there, I would ask a lot of questions as to the necessity of it. If they are suspecting possible ulcer problems then the best way to get ahead of that is using that method and, I am proof that one does manage to live through it and have a wonderful sympathy inducing tool to use to perhaps convince someone that a healing trip to WDW might be necessary. Good luck and I hope I didn't scare you out of having a possibly very necessary test to make sure you have a lot more plays in ya. Just make sure it is necessary and not just another, cover my medical butt, expensive test. Justified, yes, very much worth the discomfort, otherwise, not so much.

I’m so mad I can barely see straight. We just had the WORST ref ever!!! Multiple injuries to my players, luckily not serious, but including two players who could not return back in for the second half.
Then, T was GK, the kid from other team kept kicking while T had the ball.. ref did not call him off,. T got kicked in the shoulder as a result.
Worse, our next GK, “L” also was having the ball kicked while he had it.. this went on wayyy too long!! Twice they kicked it out of his hand and kept going after it.

Ref did NOTHING. Myself and my assistant coach were both screaming at him to stop it.

Then of course our kid got hurt, kicked in the hand., I ran on the field and up to the ref. I’m surprised I didn’t get a yellow or red card.

I just emailed the facility now.. they need to know, and they need to talk to the refs and not let this happen to another team!!


That team was rough, I get that some team are more rough than others.. shoves are one thing, he didn’t call most of those either.. but a ref not calling off from a goalie is something that I’ve never seen.
That does sound bad especially if it is kids playing. I hope the people in charge will take appropriate action after reading your email.

Just got a call from my school district, we are closed tomorrow. We are still under blizzard conditions until around midnight and no plows are going out on the roads in our county until 4 am tomorrow. :(:grumpy: I only live a couple blocks from school, so I think I'll still go in and do some of the make up hours I have to do. I have never been so honestly unhappy to have so many school closures in my life! We haven't had a fully week of school since the first full week of January and we are in the 5th week of the quarter. I'm getting so behind on my lesson track. Sorry, rant over....
I'm sorry the weather is messing up your lesson track, I can imagine that's very frustrating.

The like is for being back where you want to be again and working...!!! :)
How is your mothers health, if you don’t mind me asking? Well, I hope...!!! 👍
My mum's health is up and down but the real issue is her diminishing cognitive abilities. It breaks my heart to see my once fearless mum slowly change into a confused insecure old lady.
Luckily she is in a very nice home where there is help available when she needs it.

Hey everyone. So, the older I get, the more tests my doctor is making me get. So far, I’ve had the dreaded colonoscopy, the stress test for heart, echocardiogram, and on Friday, I have to have an upper endoscopy, where they apparently knock you out and then stick a tube with a camera on it down your throat to look around. I think this is unnecessary. If he would just ask, I’d tell the doc what’s down there: 300 cases of wine. 😜

But seriously, has anyone had this procedure done and know what to expect?

I almost want to cancel because I found out that my health insurance won’t cover this because it is diagnostic and not preventative, and I have a $2,000 deductible to meet. Grrrrr.
There has to be a reason he would want you to have one. I would ask him why. I mean would it be an elective procedure? In order for the insurance company to approve it anyway, there has to be a reason unless they are considering it "standard of care" now? If you have symptoms of something that is steering your physician to order this test, then I get that. If there are no symptoms, then I would totally question it.

Sorry your mum is not doing well. Glad you were able to have a nice trip with her last year.

I just heard back from the league director. They are contacting the ref today. He will also observe that team during their next match.

I talked to “L’s” mom a little bit ago, he’s doing alright, had an X-ray this morning and hand is not broken. Swollen and sore, but that’s the best scenario that could have happened.

Feel your pain. 65 mph wind and dropping temp to single digits this evening. Downspouts gone. Bath roof vent has a new shape. Bathroom leaves and tiny sticks this morning all over as it blew in through the ducts and out fan. Who expects to step on sticks on floor first thing in morning?

Joy Joy. 😕
Oh that is terrible! I saw a headline here that a house roof was blown off about 2 miles from my house. The wind is ridiculous.

Just got home from DC. Dd’s team did really well. They were in 6th place after yesterday. They had another perfect routine today and finished the competition in 4th. Fourth out of 10 is pretty good. Really close scores. The kids were so happy.

Congrats to your daughter and team!

its 1:00 am and it was.. an eventful day.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Cesar.

That is good to hear. That kind of behavior should not be tolerated.

We got about 6-8 inches supposedly last night but with all the drifting it is tough to tell. Right now it is sunny but the wind is whipping around so much, 40-50mph wind gusts. I tried to let the dog out this morning but all her paths were gone and she couldn't go very far so her time was quick out there. I had to shovel a path which was tough with it blowing back in my face but I got a small path cleared for her to her spot in the far corner of the yard. We will have to do more, but no sense doing more now. Our county issue a travel ban and many churches closed for today. Hubs still went in but put out a post that he would facebook live worship. He texted that 13 people showed up. Winter can end now.

@figmentfan423 I thought of you this morning as I was scrolling facebook, our sheriff's departments put out an arrest warrant for the groundhog!

This was their post...
Good morning --------County Wisconsin! We currently have an arrest warrant issued for the Groundhog. Something about lying about an early spring. With that said we are still under a blizzard warning. Road are completely impassible in some areas. We have been taking calls all night of vehicles stuck in the middle of the road. The winds are causing drifts 3 feet high or more on some roads. Please Do Not Drive. If there is anyway to stay where you are that is the best course of action. If you do get stuck make sure you keep your exhaust clear so you avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Stay in your vehicle buckled in. We are trying to get to people as fast as we can. There are very few tow companies available due to the weather. Stay safe!

So officially the groundhog is a wanted man!
Apparently the calendar is better at predicting the end of winter as opposed to a rodent.🙄:hilarious:
