What I learned

[Terrapins Fan]

Not that I haven't learned a lot, but it sound like a good thread title.

I'll share one and you guys can share.

I learned last year that there is more to being the "R" than tossing the ball.

Now, I know there is more, but I had a problem in a game where the 3 of us weren't calling the game the same. U1 and I were calling it tight, while U2 was calling it loose.

What I learned was, I need to get U2 to get with our game since I was the "R".

I didn't do it because I didn't know how. We've got to lean to communicate without offending a partner. I have since learned to do that.

The players need consistency.

What have you learned?

I learned that I really need to drop about 30 pounds to be effective.

I dropped 20 and that has helped. Another 5-10 wouldn't hurt. And I think if I can find some PF Flyers referee shoes, I will have it covered.

I learned that Snaqs needs to lose 30 pounds to be effective.

I'm not sure how many times he must do that, or whether he becomes more effective each time.

I learned where this extra 30 pounds I'm lugging around came from!

You carrying a frying pan or something?

I had a kidney stone (8mm) accompanied by a pretty serious infection. It really pulled me down for about 2 weeks. I simply didn't feel like eating, among other problems. I lost about 20 pounds in the 2 weeks. I figured the 20 would reappear like magic, but I picked up about 4 or 5 and have managed to stabilize there. So if you get a kidney stone, and can tolerate it for a whole month, that should put you right where you want to be.

Hope this helps.

Well, it beats some of the other options. Thought about meth, but it would cost me my job.

Probably a few teeth, too. Eww.

YOW! Man, that's not a stone, that's a nugget! If it was gold, you'd be in tall cotton! I'm afraid to ask how it was "eliminated".

Lithotripsy: the use of high-energy shock waves to fragment and disintegrate kidney stones. The shock wave, created by using a high-voltage spark or an electromagnetic impulse outside of the body, is focused on the stone. The shock wave shatters the stone, allowing the fragments to pass through the urinary system.


It worked. I recommend it. A couple of the "fragments" which did indeed pass on through the system were still 3-4 mm. Not the most pleasant thing, but infinitely preferable to the alternative.
