Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Jackcrevol]

Finally got the bastage to eat! Been fishing these grass carp the last 3 evenings in my neighborhood pond. After about 20 fly changes, leader changes and crawling up the bank (lol) I got one.

TN Redfish.

 

[KptVFL]

I’m sorry, I’m the one that needs the . By the way, I saw your post as a rando and not as a reply to mine. Weird crap in here today. If it wasn’t a Monday and know any better, I’d think I had already started celebrating a weekend.

Lol! You're good.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I move to redact my game, blouses gif.

Normally Id blame @InVOLuntary but I blame @drvenner instead.

 

[Ryno14]

Wow yes! Any advice like this would be greatly appreciated. I have wrote these down and if you can think of anymore please feel free. Thanks

Also, the Vols bar is a great time but not much special is going on there now, but if you want to go grab a drink there and just see Vols flags and memorabilia up around the bar, it’s pretty cool. I’m sure you won’t leave without a couple free shots if you tell them you’re a Vols fan from out of town either.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Those things fight pretty good. Fun to catch, for sure.

Yeah they do. This guy will be about 30 LBS here in a couple years so hopefully I’ll get to experience that lol. They are stupid finicky and keen of their surroundings. Really fun fish to target.

• Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground – and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of vast universe

Each of Those are galaxies?!!
That is really hard to comprehend

And that is just a "dot" in the sky. The last shot like this from the Hubble estimated our galaxies in the known universe at 170 billion. Our Milky Way galaxy alone has 100 billion stars. Then how many planets in each solar system with how many moons?

I look forward to them releasing more pictures and information that they've gathered.

Well folks, went the entire pandemic without even having to test for Covid. Currently running a 100.6 after a direct contact at a funeral last week.

Nobody decided to tell me my uncle had tested positive that morning.

Aliens are real. Bigfoot told me so.




All honesty…..
Naive to think we are alone…..

It's like looking at the Amazon rainforest and pretending like there isn't 1 bird in there.

with all due respect Jordan is 59 years old... even with a year of conditioning he would not be able to hang with these 20 year old elite NBA players, GOAT status aside. Father times catches up to everyone eventually.

I am also 59. Above you see the consternation that your post caused.

Got some news, good this time for once.

Girlfriend, well, fiancé now.. is pregnant. And we know a gender, too. It’s a girl. She’s at about 4 months now, so I have to think of a name but creativity has never been my strong suit.

In any case, there’s my life update. I’m trying to actually get my shot together and try to find a job that is a career rather than just something to pay the bills. I have a degree, but it hasn’t meant much for me. I’m more stressed than anything. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that everything I do is in support of someone else now. Perhaps that’s a good thing, though. I’ve never much cared about being successful just to be proud of myself for better or worse.

Sorry, just rambling. Don’t really have anyone to voice these fears to.

I’m happy about the gender, but I do have to have kids until a boy pops out if I don’t want to be the last of my name. The buck stops with me. My dad’s two brothers somehow had a total of 5 daughters and no boys.

Congrats!

Girls are sweet. The SVP girl dad video sums it up perfectly.

You’ll do fine. Me and my kids are all growing up together. Congratulations

I have a 10 month old, my first. She's given me a renewed energy for life and a new perspective. It's tough, but it's also awesome. Cheers!

My dad told me the same thing about raising me. He was 26 when I was born just like I am now. He didn’t know how to be a parent. My mom tried to raise me to be a kid, listen to nursery rhymes, watch cartoons, play pretend, all that.. but it never stuck with me. My dad, on the other hand, just raised me like I was one of the boys. Blasting 80s hair metal with a 2 year old me in the car seat, watching sports center all day, all that. I appreciated that upbringing. It is funny how much I missed out on from the late 90’s/early 00’s that my friends reminisce on because I was raised as if it were still 1987 and I was 25.

My dad was also sort of a go with the flow lazy ass like me until I was born, so I’ve discovered. We had a talk about all this a few days ago over some beers. Apparently, he was working a middling job just to survive for as little effort as possible and coast through life.. much like me. He had little drive or motivation to make something of himself, especially after his baseball career ended. Once I was born, though, he said something switched in that hospital room. Nothing changed overnight, but over time he advanced through that middling job he had. Promotion after promotion through the years.. by the time I was old enough to know whether we were poor or not, we weren’t anymore. He had been promoted to plant manager over the entire region with a very respectable salary, all with no education despite the job description requiring it.

I can only hope I find that in myself like he did.

We won a national championship in football. If you caught that, you didn’t miss much.

My dad had me in his lap, forgot when peerless caught the TD pass.. jumped up to celebrate, dropped me in the floor, and my mom hasn’t let him forget it since.

"Something switched" is the perfect way to describe the experience. I felt something change in my brain and about myself when I saw my first daughter being born. I have had moments in my life that I felt were clear before/after experiences, especially looking back on them. But that day in the hospital it was like a biological force. It is profound and beautiful, truly a blessing. Happy for you.
