I think I may be done posting over on this side entirely.

A couple of days ago, in another board, a poster asked a question about an offer being promoted by a travel agency. I responded to the poster with factual information about the offer and the alternatives available to them. I didn't even explicitly say that I was a travel agent, though I guess it was implied by a reference to what I normally do for clients in their situation. I didn't mention the name of any travel agency, provide an outside contact information for myself, or in any way attempt to promote my services to that person.

But being helpful got me assessed 20 point infraction for "Unapproved Advertisement." The words that I wish to use to respond to that infraction are inappropriate for use here. Let's just say they can eat my peanut butter and drink my Beverly!

This post may get deleted, and I may get banned for posting it. At this point, I don't think I care.

Sorry to hear that Aaron. I don't tread out there much anymore since I got reprimanded for a product review someone took personally.

I hate to see you gone from here completely, but I get why you would. I read the different threads out there occasionally and see how big of jerks there really are - name calling, correcting people on some minor technicality, concluding 20 year financial projections are wrong.

I've had a 20 post infraction before for something before, and I've see others make way more mean spirited posts. It's just like in actual reality, some people can make and take a joke, while some only make jokes at other's expense while refusing to accept one at their own. Whatever you decide, I'll still see you on FB & the Pub, but I think you know you arer always welcome here.

Exactly what he said

And in other news, a successful return to coaching in U11G soccer, with team winning 4-2. I was so proud of dd - she scored two goals - but she put on a clinic of her own with her footwork. She took on two defenders on one play, juked both of them, and still scored a goal. She made some other good passes. The only time I got on her for was not using her left foot to shoot on another attempt. A very proud dad today.

Nice

Morning guys. Tough loss for both ND and IU yesterday. Congrats to Navy and the school up north

 

[Twin Dad]

Thoughts and prayers CJ. Good job Norm. AJ, understand how you feel and vote you decide

 

[Twin Dad]

I got an excellence award at work this week. Ds has two goals this season in soccer. He is also showing heDD is yet to score and is getting frustrated. She works hard but can't put the ball in the net.

Do you have to cut and split the wood or just pile it?

Move and stack.

Always hated that part.

Congrats on your award nemie. Keep giving DD encouragement and in the words of Walt - keep moving forward

A much better day today. After some early morning chores I took the Dodge out for a drive. A nice 60 miles or so. Then it was home to finish the power washing. Four weeks from today it'll be magic kingdom.

She takes too long to pass or shoot. She can out run most kids her age but by the time she sets up to shoot the swarm has caught her. We've been working on it in the yard. DS is doing a great job of getting himself into good positions but this is swarm ball so the ball seldom gets to him.

it's going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong season.

Close win by the Colts today. On the bright side I am having a pretty good fantasy day!

Thanks for the straight line David, but this is a family thread.

Given that, I'll refrain from commenting on how the Pats played today. A wins a win, but still....

In Canada there is current contest to vote for your favorite new "Canadian" flavoUred potato chips...

I tried a couple anf they aren't bad.

And then...:

I tried this flavour called MAPLE MOOSE....I am not sure if it is supposed to taste like Maple or Moose, but I have to say it is the absolute BEVERLY of potato chips.

I literally couldn't stomach them.

Have any Canadians here, ever tried them? What did you think?

Brent, Darcy, Nick, Terrence, Bern?

Wouldn't touch that if you paid me. DW picked up the Garlic CaesarSalad and Grilled cheese and Ketchup, but I declined to try. Everyone else liked them. Cannot remember flavour #4. I like my Salt & Vinegar thank you very much.

And would penguins be in your fantasy day?

Didn't get to watch much football today, but did see some of the first half of Colts game. They are really good or Raiders are really bad.

They are still in the early learning stages. I only did a few shooting drills in U8 and have only done one this season. She'll get there. My dd (9) scored another goal in a 6-1 lopsided game and set up another. She took on four defenders and the keeper blocked the shot out of bounds. I get silly proud of her skills and mad at her for playing hero ball at the same time. If your players can get the foot skills now, the rest of the stuff will be there in time.

A much better day today. After some early morning chores I took the Dodge out for a drive. A nice 60 miles or so. Then it was home to finish the power washing. Four weeks from today it'll be magic kingdom.

Dodge what? I'm hoping it was something cool and not a caravan.

Morning Men.

That would be really cool. I didn't ask Sean that, but if another shows up next month, then I'll know.
