How do I find out locations and times for the WA (Whistles Anonymous) meetings in Portland? After watching "Forget Paris" on Friday, and a WNBA (Go, Fire!) game on Saturday, I'm in desperate need of help!!

There is not cure. You have to deal with this until the day you die. There is nothing we can do for you, SECURITY!!!!!

Juulie - WA meetings are held the second Tuesday each week at Rasheed Wallace's house here in Portland. Special guest next meeting is Bobby Knight.

If you go, be prepared for everyone saying to you, "Hiiiii, Juulie."

P.S. take your whistle

That comes after she says, "Hi. My name's Juulie and I'm a whistleholic."

Try Volleyball....

They whistle while they work.... even more than us, Basketball officials.

Just a suggestion.

We are all "hurting".

Not me! Just finished summer HS league last week.

Summer college league still playing!

Then we start football scrimmages on the 11th. Whew! it's gonna be hot!

I am glad to hear that some are able to keep their whistles "filled with air".

Unfortunately, some of us from smaller markets with less networking (early in our officiating endeavors) do have some idle time. AND IT SUCKS

I might have to pursue the football option.

It works! It gives me something to focus on so that I don't go crazy during September and October. Plus, it's a lot of fun, and it's not nearly as difficult to work as basketball.
