  1. I'm a woman...I don't think this speaks for ALL women but I think that there are far more women who are at least genuinely open minded or bi-curious but unwilling to admit it. Women are beautiful and sexy...I don't blame anyone who thinks so.
  2. Neither could I. Without a doubt we'd have evacuated for something that strong. You're right, such an incredibly eerie feeling when the city shuts the grid down and the eye comes over. You think it's over but...nope.
  3. Likely depends on the organization and how their affiliates operate. Some are independently owned but some the major league team owns. Regardless, someone is making money off them. You'd be surprised. My brother's team regularly had over 8k people attend the games and tickets aren't cheap and neither are concessions. Many teams are in areas where there isn't a major league team close (rookie leagues in Montana, many minor league teams in NC, SC, Alabama, etc). They can drive hours to a major league game once in a while or go daily to these games.
  4. I'm from Charleston, SC...more often than not we rode out every hurricane and tropical storm. It's hard for people to fathom but I only remember evacuating one time. These storms are fierce and it can be so eery when the eye comes over.
  5. I think her feelings for him are real and her fear and the reality of him almost being gone is causing her to make rash decisions about going through with the divorce. I don't think she is doing any of this for attention. Surprising because I think her family are all attention starved and will stoop low to get it but I don't think this is the product of that for her. Could be wrong but.. I did read something on Facebook where someone posted "Nothing will bring you back from near death quicker than knowing your ex is the one making your medical decisions" lol
  6. My brother went in the 8th round. His bonus was pretty solid so he isn't hurting but much of that was invested so he lives off of his paycheck from milb. During the season guys will live 4 to 5 per apartment so that it's only 300 or so per player. The lower round picks and/or free agents basically get a plane ticket and that's it...some don't even get that. My brother will go in to work at 12 and leave around 11 after the game. Sometimes they'll do camps or appearances beforehand and get...nothing. He makes FAR below minimum wage given the hours put in versus the paycheck. Thankfully he's been in AA and AAA so his checks have improved a bit but it's ridiculous how little those men are paid given how much money is made off of them.
  7. There is nothing wrong with a child viewing an athlete as a role model. There are plenty of men who play pro sports who ARE role models. I know them personally. That being said, Adam Jones is not one of them.
  8. Incredibly exciting! Congratulations, Luke and family!
  9. She did not make him commit suicide. I think what she did was awful and cruel and heartless and it should haunt her forever but it was not criminal. It was unethical and immoral. It is almost like munchhausen (sp?).
  10. Local Zach Isler got the save for the Birmingham Barons versus the Wahoos tonight on star 64/American sports network. Been watching the series. Duran has a lot upside but needs to get strike outs under control. Winker is going to battle for a spot very soon. He's almost ready. Schuster, a lefty sidearm, looks like a really good get in the trade from June. I'm also a fan of Meijas-Brean. Have been since his rookie season when I saw him in Billings.
  11. They don't patrol just campus. And I'd imagine that the demographics significantly change within the 3 mile radius outside of campus lines.
  12. Sure, if I'm able to see every write up for all of them I could probably give you a better idea. But as you know, I can't. but even if there was a valid reason for it, it wouldn't really change anyone's opinion. We could all sit here and twist things to fit what we want it to fit. I'm not going to apologize for not automatically qualifying this as a race driven cold blooded murder. Just as I don't think the Memphis cop killing was race driven. I think that man would have killed any cop in his way.
  13. No. That is not what was said. What was said is that I think people are reaching for this to be race driven to fit the narrative. sorry I'm not surprised that more black people are arrested or pulled over in that area. To me, that would seem to make sense given the population and demographics.
