Coffee Break # 18 - Cooling down

Ha ha - thanks Joyce. Just trying to have them avoid the same pitfalls.

(I laughed at the video too. ^_^)

:-)))

i remember that when it happened it is a classic - loved the "hand grenade" very original!

he did lose his job over that - Atlanta canned him

Awww, too bad he lost his job. He should have gone into acting, or at least gotten a mention in Ken Burns' baseball documentary, IMHO the best doc ever made.

I am sorry but I have zero, zippo tolerance for bad acts from professional athletes. There are way too many kidlings who idolize these people watching and emulating them. If they don't want to maintain a positive, healthy public image than they need to get out of the business IMPO. Other incidents that really ticked me off: Tiger Woods saying the 'f' word on camera and Robbie Alomar spitting on an umpire. I show my protest by never watching them again.

ok now that I have stepped down from my soapbox, I'm wondering if you can rent a compost hole? I'm looking at 3-400 lbs that just came out of my compost hole that is no way near enough sigh.

FYI guys--on HLN, the question of the day is "Is civility dead?"

What a good topic. As the eternal optimist and a believer in all things mysterious and magical: I vote 'no'.

Not only dead - bludgeoned. And if anyone disagrees, #^$#%^*%^*!! to you!!

So funny how you guys can remember something that happened in sports 15 years ago and can't remember to bring home milk when your wife asks.

Hee hee. That's what cell phones are for.

note that there is beer in the fridge!

Yes my beer is in my upstairs fridge. If you are nice I will let you have a little bit of room for your beer in my seed fridge downstairs. But only a little rrom cuz some spring bulbous things need breathing room.

Patrick Swayze passed away. RIP.

I just heard--so sad--he will be missed.

Just saw it on CNN. Bye Patrick. Dirty dancing will always be one of my favorite movies.

And Ghost!

We stayed at a resort in VA a few years back where they filmed Dirty Dancing.

So sad. He will be missed. He was always a favorite of mine. I just saw a rerun last night of an episode of Criminal Minds, and he was on there.

Ty Cobb beat up a disabled fan in the stands.
Politicians escalated debates in Congress into duels and regularly shot each other dead
baseball players gave Jackie Robinson many of his toughest challenges re his race

Jerks in sports are not new. Still, I agree with Victor & D'nut. When you get into the end zone, act like you've been there before. When you get a bad call, get over it.If you have a brekdown, apologize profusely. I remember when the only public displays by ballplayers were the hispanic players making the sign of the cross (which many of us emulated)

I have a favor to ask... if you guys have a few free minutes and don't mind would you vote for my sisters store... last year she missed by just a few votes

I voted, Allison.

I voted too, and also got the coleus. Thanks. They are beautiful!

Just voted---looks like my kind of store!

OK--done! I know Phoebe would have loved it there! She loved being a princess diva! LOL

Here's what great sportsmanship is all about...

Very nice!

Just tried a Pinotage wine for the first time. Like it!

One of the science headlines today reads, 'Early spankings make for aggressive toddlers'. My first reaction was - my spankings have usually come in the evening and my kids have been fine.

lol

Victor---you're getting kinky!

Getting???

.

Blank message, Deb??

She's speechless.

Jen's right

So why does your blank post take more space than the others with words?!

look close...at the bottom there is a little dot ^_^

Sneaky!
