McBok, what's up bro?!  Are you still in Phoenix?  I thought you moved back to Pitt. I couldn't disagree more.  The US is the greatest country in the world because we can have this convo, and it isn't close.  Rapinoe can thumb her nose at the US, that's her prerogative.  Oh BTW, the reason she...

Canada, Mexico, England, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland, UAE, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Haiti, Jamaica, probably some other western Caribbean countries on cruises. Interestingly (to me anyway), I'm in high tech and have never visited Israel, India, or China.  None are particularly...

Funny, those are the 3 I was thinking of.  Scanning thru the thread I saw schools like Michigan (my wife's alma mater), Purdue, Georgia Tech... great schools, but IMO you start to reach a point of diminishing returns.   Cal Berkeley as well but the U Cal schools are also crazy hard to get into. ...

A few corrections/clarifications: 1. My last name begins with G, not ends.  Alcohol may have been involved when I posted this.  😜 2. My cousin's daughter has Down's and she is one of the most wonderful people I know.  I sincerely mean no disrespect to those with special needs.

Sorry about the dad thing. You bring up some interesting points. - It is true in some ways that it is competitive.  They admit about 1K kids and every one was at or very near the top of their class.  Now, only one of them is at the top, and the other 999 need to deal with it.  Many aren't...

It is true; at Ivies there is an average credential, I don't know what it is or who requires it, but the other sports pick up the slack. I am an MIT alum and in their Educational Council which means I interview local (Phoenix for me) students for admission.  A few comments about admission to...

In September of 2001 we discovered a bee/hornet/whatever nest in the wall of our house.  It was in our baby daughter's room, and we found it because we heard the humming and when we tracked it down, there were a bunch of antennae trying to get out of an electrical socket.  Holy carp!  We...

I know who you are, you borderline... poster person.   :pickle:

I mostly lurk here so... the simple answer is that my first name is Jerry and my last name ends with G. The more interesting answer is that I'm known in the FF world as "jerryskids".  I compete in IBL for the site formally known as FFLW, against your finest FF owners.  The name was a double...

Lots of fair skinned folks here; my wife and I are both darker skinned (Italian/slavic descent) but live in Phoenix so lots of sun exposure, plus as a youth in the northeast. In her 20s she had a large mole on her back which led her to the derm, it was BCC. She said "hey, you've got a couple...

Not saying you should have kids, but in 5 years those parents will be hanging with other parents at soccer practice, not you and your wife. Also, there is usually not 100% knowledge, at least for guys.

Well, as the self-appointed FFT responder, I will say that you are being disingenuous when you say you "aren't breaking balls here.". That's kind of like "no offense but..."Anyway, to your question, I thought that posting that pic was in bad taste and said as much over there. I also sent them to...

Things are great Krista, thanks for asking. How are things with you?Funny, but keeping with the topic, I feel like I sent you money as well. Was it that FFLW league? I feel like I had your address at some point. Anyway, if you are interested send me a life update PM and I'll check it tonight...

This is jerryskids, I vouch that Strike gave money back.Seems everyone is in the holiday spirit today. When is the inter board rumble? :lol:
