I know I sound pathetic, but really, we like the same things and if one of us didn't like something, we left it out. There is very little that I like that he didn't. But really, it is my hockey and baseball. It is the movies we watched over and over. It's my hockey. Good for you for calling it "my hockey." It is your hockey and not his to take from you. Don't let him or anyone else rob you of the things you like to do.

Iâll keep watching, but I thought it could have been better.
The two characters who made me bonkers were Steve and Brady. Steve appears to have prepared for his part by watching Tim Conway play the old man on Carol Burnett reruns. Itâs like he is a completely different character. He has aged naturally since the series ended so I donât know why he is working so hard to play an older Steve. That old man voice, not being able to hear a thing even with hearing aids and that weird look on his face are driving me crazy.
As others have said, horny Brady is making me nuts as well. He is like a Saturday Night Live parady of a sex charged teenager. Real teens donât make out at piano concerts or have loud banging sex when their parents are next door.
One of the things I liked was when the mean friend said at the funeral something like âAm I the only one who remembers how awful he treated Carrie?â I donât know if I can ever forgive Big for leaving her at the altar, even if Carrie can. Big was so selfish and egotistical at times, as was Carrie, I just canât believe they had the perfect marriage for all those years. I would have expected them to have had a very passionate up and down relationship.I hope maybe they go into that at some point.

So tragic. I couldn't sleep last night, so I was watching live coverage on Tic Tok at 1 a.m. The meteorologist kept saying "If you know someone in the path of the storm call them and tell them to take cover." There is nothing more deadly than a rain wrapped massive tornado at night.

I think itâs no oneâs business what you and your husband decide to do about exchanging gifts.
Having said that, I get so much joy from giving and receiving gifts, it is hard for me to imagine that others donât get that same joy from gifting. Fortunately, my husband loves to give and receive gifts as well, so weâre completely in sync on that issue.

My sister in law just passed away due to covid complications.
She loved Christmas and always organized the celebration w/ my husband's side of the family. We'll still get together w/ her children and grandchildren, but she will be missed. I know her kids will just be going through the motions this year for the sake of their own children. .

Itâs official! Brent Venables is the new head coach at the University of Oklahoma. So many Clemson fans have posted nice comments about Venables on OUâs Instagram posts. It just shows that when you do things the right way, the fans will respect you for it.
It is speculated that Bob Stoops will prepare the Sooners for the Alamo Bowl while Venables goes recruiting. Both of them will be trying to clean up the mess Lincoln Riley left behind when he left town in the middle of the night.
It will be great to see Bob Stoops on the OU sidelines one last time and heâll be coaching his son Drake who has had an awesome year with the Sooners.

What are his thoughts on the new coach, Marcus Freeman? He thinks itâs a great hire. It should be a really smooth transition since Freeman was the defensive coordinator and Tommy Rees, the offensive coordinator decided to stay at ND.

My Oklahoma Sooners are headed to the Alamo Bowl to play the Oregon Ducks.
Tomorrow, Oklahoma is expected to announce that Brent Venables is returning to Oklahoma to be our new head coach. Sooner nation is very excited about the hire.
My Notre Dame alum son is disappointed his team just missed the playoffs, but he is excited that Notre Dame is playing Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl. We had a big family dinner today. Many of our relatives are Oklahoma State Cowboys, so they had a lot of fun talking about the game w/ our son.

Do you have your nephewâs number? I think you should talk to your nephew directly. He is not a minor, so there is nothing inappropriate about you explaining the situation directly to him. I wouldnât trust the stepmom to serve as the go between.

After observing one family member snatch up all the leftovers for years, I almost think her desire to take home leftovers is some kind of sickness. This family member never offers to help w/ food prep, but as soon as the meal is on the table, itâs almost like she rushes us through the meal so she can âhelpâ clean up. The second everyone stops eating, she grabs a couple of dirty dishes and bolts to the kitchen to begin helping w/ cleanup. The way she helps w/ cleanup is by making sure she is in charge of bagging up the leftovers. Needless to say, she ends up w/ 90% of the leftovers.
I always have trouble getting around her so I can scrape plates and load things in the dishwasher because she is taking up so much room bagging up the leftovers instead of just covering the uneaten food and putting it in the refrigerator for later.
Iâve even noticed how she bags up food for my elderly aunt and makes a big deal of presenting it to her like she is the one gifting the food, when in reality it is my husband and I who have made all the food.
The relative who grabs the leftovers has never been poor or gone without food. I wouldnât be surprised if most of the leftovers end up in the trash or fed to her dogs.

Wow! We just watched the North Carolina State-North Carolina game w/ our daughterâs boyfriend, who is an NC State alum. It is 50 degrees outside and our pool is unheated. Yes, he jumped in when NC State scored after recovering that onside kick!

Bedlam on Saturday! We will be in Stillwater on Saturday to watch the Cowboys take on the Sooners. The Cowboy defense has been fierce this year, so weâre looking forward to a great game. Go Pokes!đ§Ąđ€đ€ Iâll be cheering on my Oklahoma Sooners! It should be a great game. My daughterâs boyfriend is visiting this week from North Carolina and he asked me what bedlam meant. I told him it meant âchaos,â and was the term always used to describe an OU-OSU matchup. Having been born and raised in Oklahoma, I was shocked anyone would be unfamiliar w/ that term. đđđ

I asked my friend about meeting husband's coworker. As far as I know, it went like this: Her husband's work team had a dinner (paid for by boss) at a local restaurant. Her husband invited her to stop up while work team was eating. Friend did just that. She said her husband introduced her to the team (6 guys, 2 2 women) and the coworker mentioned said hello and looked away . Friend didn't eat with her husband as it was a work sanctioned event and spouses were not at dinner. She was just there for a drink with husband and left. According to her, her husband ate dinner and left less than an hour later. I just can't imagine showing up at my husband's business dinner, if spouses were not invited. Even though the spouse didn't sit down and have dinner, I think it's weird that she even made an appearance if spouses weren't invited. I think it is very unprofessional of your friend and her husband to expect the co-worker to chitchat w/ an uninvited spouse at a work dinner. It's not the time and place. If I had been that co-worker, I would have avoided my co-worker's spouse as well. It would be a completely different situation if your friend's husband introduced your friend to his co-worker at a function where spouses were included, such as a Christmas party. In that case, I might be a little suspicious if the co-worker refused to make eye contact.

Is there a select football league for seven and eight year olds?
When my kids were little, there werenât select leagues in soccer until the kids were 11, if I remember correctly.
When my son was playing tackle football there were no select leagues. You played rec football until you started playing school ball in middle school. Things might be different now.
My husband coached my daughterâs rec soccer team for many years and they were very successful. The team started in grade school. Anyone who wanted to be on the team was allowed to sign up. Everyone played in the games the same amount of time.
There were four or five girls who loved the game and were naturally very competitive. They really wanted to improve their skills and practice a lot. The girls who were less competitive and didnât enjoy soccer as much tended to quit the sport or they found a team that didnât practice as much. As other teams dissolved the girls who were more competitive asked to be on my husbandâs team. The team got better and better.
My husband never once turned down a player for any reason when we had a spot on his team. He also never once recruited a player from another team, although I suspect some of our parents may have done that.
Itâs just natural that kids who love a sport are going to want to be on a team with other kids who love a sport, just like a kid who loves to read is going to seek out other friends who love to read or a kid who loves to play computer games is going to seek out other kids who love computer games.
Itâs difficult when you are a volunteer coach and half the kids are screaming âLetâs do that drill again!â while the other half of the kids are crying because they want to go home.
My husband also coached my sonâs rec league soccer team and they were not competitive. They were a bunch of boys who enjoyed playing the game, but would rather go home and play computer games than run extra drills at practice.
There is nothing wrong w/ either teamâs attitude.
If safety were an issue, why did the league allow the team to play all season, but wonât allow the team in the playoffs?
