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

Our club doesn’t want their players to play indoor. For two reasons- 1. Bad habits (which I completely disagree with). 2. Injuries.
There’s enough risk in boarded indoor, no reason to allow unnecessary risks.
I was so disgusted by the coaches too. Just bad all the way around. I’m glad we don’t play them again.


Not sure if I said this last Spring, but in the final at a tourney, there was a kid on the opposing team who was really, I mean really, a dirty player. Tripping and slide tackling ( slide tacking is not allowed at this age, the kids don’t even learn it yet.). That player received a yellow card after his 5th or 6th penalty, taking one of our kids out of the game.
Our parents all clapped our hands in response.
It’s the one and only time I have seen such a young player receive a card, or even deserve a card.


We won, but after the game while we were waiting for awards ceremony, we saw the coach buying an ice cream for that specific player, and telling him to not worry about the yellow card, and keep playing aggressive.
I was floored. These kids were 7 or just-turned-8 years old... that boy learned it from somewhere, and his coach is supporting and rewarding such bad and dangerous behavior.
I don’t know what’s wrong with adults like that!!!

I still would have gone with a cruise. Best of both worlds. Ocean view and family activities. Just my opinion.

I need extended beach time.. and I feel like it’s silly to do a cruise to Bermuda.. I’d rather just do a land trip there.. but T wants a “Spanish speaking country”... and I live the D.R.. so it’s time for him to go.

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.

It is better this morning but still nasty

I haven't had any of those but it seems like a lot of tests if there isn't a problem. Did you doctor give you a concrete reason for this endoscopy? Is there any way he can order it in a different way so insurance would pay for it? Just make sure it is necessary to your health before you get it done.

^^^This X2 Good luck

So far so good. No snow but windy and cold here. We've got spotty internet but at least the power is on. Tonight's dinner groundhog hocks and collards served with cornbread

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.

{{HUGS}} and prayers for you and your family xoxo

 

[Figgy1]

No snow here, but wind gusts of up to 60mph.

Stay safe and I hope your power stays on!

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Stay safe and I hope your power stays on!

I have no plans to leave the house today. My outdoor plan is to walk to the mailbox and then back, or I may just skip picking up mail today.

So very sorry to hear this, Cesar. And, so very sorry y'all didn't get to see her before she passed.
I pray that she passed peacefully.
My deepest condolences and sincerest prayers for you, and your entire family.

It actually decided to visit and stay for the day. Unfortunately it cannot be enjoyed because apparently it's like I live in Kansas right now. FYI, one of the top windiest states in America.

Just returned from the mass. It was nice, a lot of crying thats for sure.
On the good side, a lot of our family got together which is always good. Its been a lot since we all got together.

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.

I'm glad something is being done about it.

It's good your family is all there to support each other and hopefully share some wonderful memories of your grandmother. I'll be thinking of you all.

Our gym tries to stay within 2 hours of where we live for competitions. It is much cheaper for families that way. I assume your niece is on a team. How did they do?

I got the deets... they took 3rd over all.. with the 2 zero deductions, and 2 perfect 5 person pyramids.

ETA: she cheers with Fame.

My dad with Jasmine...

 

[MinnieM123]

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.

Been there with both of my parents, years ago. It's really hard to deal with, and I can empathize. Sorry to hearabout your mother.
