GM's thread about nothing (16 Viewers)

[Mr. Pickles]

There's a top 10 running back I've never heard of. That's a bad sign.

Doug Martin?

That's the one. MVP of SB X11?

Yep. He's back, in running back form.

Not my rule.

I'm just amazed... how much is enough... do they make kids wear helmets for soccer too? Helmets, knee pads and elbow pads to get on a school bus?

He is only 5 so it isn't like he's 12. He went into kindergarten this year at 3'11" and uses it to enforce his will on the field. Little dhead. Helmets might be a good idead.

:headexplode:

speaking of which, I heard through another part of the internet that you recently suffered some sort of horrific accident? Is everything ok? Was alcohol involved? Are you drinking right now?

Sadly I was sober, it would make explaining it so much better. It was four weeks ago yesterday. My ability to take a punch was put to the test when I jumped into a pool, smashed my head open and broke my neck. Still some mild suffering from the concussion and back pain. It is next to impossible to sleep and given that I already have insomnia and a mind that won't quit, is my biggest issue. Otherwise I'm fine. I'm hoping to be able to start getting hammered again in the next couple of days. I really need it. And to be clear, I don't WANT booze, I NEED booze. I hate to admit it but I have some severe depression going on too. This is my second major concussion in 3 years and I had at least 6-12 of them between fights/brawls & football when I was a yute. I understand it is par for the course.

Our View: Bob was a great player, but six too many concussions and one too many broken necks makes him just too risky to draft this year.

In 36 team deep leagues he may be worth a roster slot.

He will probably be bagging groceries by years end.

Oh, it also creeps into the classroom. About 8 years ago there was a movement to get teachers to stop using red pens or pencils to grade student work. Seems the color red hurt their self-esteem. You were supposed to use purple ink instead.

This reminds me of a girl I went out with a long time ago. She and I dated for a year or so on and off before she moved to San Francisco. We tried the long-distance thing for a short time since I was going up there fairly frequently. I found out she was sleeping around and I broke it off over the phone.She sent me a long, sappy, handwritten letter about how much she cared about me and wanted to work things out. I corrected her spelling and grammar with a red pen and sent it back. I ran into her a few years later and she told me that was the most cold and insulting thing that anyone had ever done to her. Red pens work.

If I actually was forced to use purple ink I would simply changed the way I graded things:"Indent here, stupid" "Tennessee was not one of the 13 Colonies, Copernicus" "This just sucks".

Not sure why I even try to "connect" to some kids. This year I've got this little "too cool" emo/hipster girl. She's not a bad kid but has trouble turning stuff in.

I'm also playing more music when the kids are working independently and quiet. I just made a playlist on GrooveShark...current Top 40 crap, 90s stuff like No Doubt, Goldfinger, Save Ferris etc, and some stuff I like.

So I call the emo-hipster girl up to my desk to talk to her about a missing assignment. She's wearing a Charged GBH hoodie (the other day she was wearing a Cure t-shirt...I don't know if knows anything about those bands but it's obvious she thinks she's pretty cool). So I call her up and there's a Katy Perry song on.

I say "Sorry to interrupt your favorite song but..."

She stares at me and deadpans "I don't like this music"

I was tempted to say "No ####, Countess Irony". Instead I said "I know. I was kidding. Anyway..."

 

[belljr]

Marvin and other teachers in the GMTAN, does your school have a rule about handing out invitations to parties? My kid's school does, if you invite 1 kid in class, you have to invite them all, and I have to say it is the suck.

WTF????

It's another one of those stupid things people do these days to keep kids from having to deal with ANY sort of disappointment in their lives. Absolutely ridiculous.We had a female PE teacher here a couple of years ago that didn't believe in having the kids do anything competitive. No football, kickball, dodgeball, capture the flag etc. I'm not kidding.

He class consisted of dancing, aerobics, par-courses etc. The only time you kept score was to measure your personal bests against yourselves. No teams, no winners, no losers.

I spent most of the school year restraining myself from kicking her in the clam.

:headexplode:I HATE these kind of people with a passion. Dylan used to throw a crazy fit when he would lose playing a game on the Wii. In baseball & soccer nobody won or lost and everybody gets a trophy. Took me a long time and a lot of flesh colored make up to convince him that you can't win every time.

It's like with youth soccer. For the first couple of years they don't keep score or have "winners". Now I agree, to a certain extent, that there are some people that go overboard with kids' sports. 5 and 6 year olds should learn to play the game, have fun, develop skills etc. But every single kid on that field new what the score was and who had more goals at the end...and they lived if they didn't win.

I remember my older son's first T-ball game. He grounded out to 1st. Like a normal human being he headed towards the dugout. Of course the rules stated that you got to stay on base no matter what. My kid refused to go to first base. I finally convinced him to just do it. After the inning was over he comes over to me and says "that's a really stupid rule".

My daughter gives a death stare then pouts all the way to the dugout if she gets out in any way

Don't usually LOL in the Depression thread but...

Found out yesterday that a FOF (my Uncle's BIL) had a severe stroke over the weekend. They live in Michigan and I had him and his wife over for Thanksgiving last year. He is sleeping 3-4 hours for every 10-15 minutes he's awake.

Ugh. The hits just keep on coming.Speaking of... and I don't want to depress you any more than you are, but- did you know that Sheriff Bart is shtupping your wife?
