Most of the time, yes...

"trigger": seafoam1 keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Sorry folks, that was really big, something that seafoam1 has never heard in their life...

Congratulations!!!

The sad thing is that it follows me around and usually posts right after I do... The funny thing is since I have it on ignore, I never see the posts...

Obviously the latter...

I would guess, 124% of them...

Hawkeye won this thread...

I remember the NCAA Tournament that season where a lot of people were LMU fans and Bo Kimble and company put on a show... I was pulling for them for sure...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/stepdad-wins-big-powerball-prize-214914058.html An Arkansas man recently won $200,000 playing the Powerball — but instead of claiming the prize, he fulfilled what was once just a joke between him and his stepdaughter. “My stepdad plays the numbers of me and my daughter’s birthdates,” Cally Krisell told the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. “We always had a running joke that if he won big, he would give me the winning ticket.” He won big during the July 17 drawing, when his ticket matched the Powerball and four of the white balls, according to a July 24 news release from lottery officials. This qualified him for a $50,000 prize. But because the man had added the PowerPlay option for $1, the prize was multiplied by four. After realizing he won $200,000, the man surprised Krisell at her home, according to the release. He told her he “had something important to tell her,” lottery officials said. “He stated he had good and bad news,” Krisell said when claiming her prize. “He gave me the bad news first — I must start paying my own phone bill. The good news — I have money to pay it with, and then he gave me the lottery ticket!” Krisell, of Greenbrier, recently claimed the winnings. She said she plans to use the money to improve her home and take a family vacation. The winning ticket was sold at Flash Market in Clinton, about 70 miles north of Little Rock. Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families. ----------- Kudos to the stepdad...

Yep... Anytime this happens, Hank Gathers comes immediately to mind...

Congrats to her... https://www.mlb.com/news/olivia-pichardo-first-woman-to-homer-wood-bat-league Olivia Pichardo has had a lot of groundbreaking firsts in the past year. Last fall, the 19-year-old became the first woman to ever make a Division 1 baseball roster when she joined the team at Brown University. A few months later, in March, she became the first woman to play for a Division 1 team. And this summer, while playing in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League -- a wood bat circuit that's featured future MLB All-Stars like Corbin Burnes and Josiah Gray -- she's produced another first. In the best way possible. During Game 2 of a doubleheader in Westhampton over the weekend, Pichardo cranked a dinger to deep right field -- the first by a female player in HCBL history. Her Sag Harbor teammates couldn't hold back their excitement, celebrating like she had just hit a walk-off home run in the World Series. This was just days after Pichardo pitched in the league's All-Star Game. She's given up zero earned runs in four regular-season appearances this year. Her coach recently told the East Hampton Star she's "one of our better arms out of the bullpen.” Pretty awesome for a kid from Queens who's routinely been told to give up on the sport she loves. It all seems to just fuel her even more.

It is what losers do... Their life sucks so much, they try to bring everyone else down to their level... Put them on ignore and don't look back...

Simple, they aren't working... If they have a job, they aren't doing what they are supposed to be doing...

Damn... Get well soon kid...

Farmer's markets, that is the smartest thing to do... Support them...

Maybe, but still too much damn work IMO...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-establish-national-monument-honoring-002518961.html WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the black teenager from Chicago who was abducted, tortured and killed in 1955 after he was accused of whistling at a white woman in Mississippi, and his mother, a White House official said Saturday. Biden will sign a proclamation on Tuesday to create the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument across three sites in Illinois and Mississippi, according to the official. The individual spoke on condition of anonymity because the White House had not formally announced the president's plans. Tuesday is the anniversary of Emmett Till's birth in 1941. The monument will protect places that are central to the story of Till's life and death at age 14, the acquittal of his white killers and his mother's activism. Till's mother's insistence on an open casket to show the world how her son had been brutalized and Jet's magazine's decision to publish photos of his mutilated body helped galvanize the Civil Rights Movement. Biden's decision also comes at a fraught time in the United States over matters concerning race. Conservative leaders are pushing back against the teaching of slavery and black history in public schools, as well as the incorporation of diversity, equity and inclusion programs from college classrooms to corporate boardrooms. On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized a revised black history curriculum in Florida that includes teaching that enslaved people benefited from the skills they learned at the hands of the people who denied them freedom. The Florida Board of Education approved the curriculum to satisfy legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate who has accused public schools of liberal indoctrination. “How is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization?” Harris asked in a speech delivered from Jacksonville, Florida. DeSantis said he had no role in devising his state’s new education standards but defended the components on how enslaved people benefited. “All of that is rooted in whatever is factual,” he said in response. The monument to Till and his mother will include three sites in the two states. The Illinois site is Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ in Bronzeville, a historically black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Thousands of people gathered at the church to mourn Emmett Till in September 1955. The Mississippi locations are Graball Landing, believed to be where Till’s mutilated body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River, and the Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse in Sumner, Mississippi, where Till’s killers were tried and acquitted by an all-white jury. Till was visiting relatives in Mississippi when Carolyn Bryant Donham said the 14-year-old Till whistled and made sexual advances at her while she worked in a store in the small community of Money. Till was later abducted and his body eventually pulled from the Tallahatchie River, where he had been tossed after he was shot and weighted down with a cotton gin fan. Two white men, Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam, were tried on murder charges about a month after Till was killed, but an all-white Mississippi jury acquitted them. Months later, they confessed to killing Till in a paid interview with Look magazine. Bryant was married to Donham in 1955. She died earlier this year. The monument will be the fourth Biden has created since taking office in 2021, and just his latest tribute to the younger Till. For black History Month this year, Biden hosted a screening of the movie “Till,” a drama about his lynching. In March 2022, Biden signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act into law. Congress had first considered such legislation more than 120 years ago. The Justice Department announced in December 2021 that it was closing its investigation into Till's killing.

Is "him" the correct pronoun for squis? It would be safer to go with "they/them" or just "it"...
