  • Yeah, I followed advice that was on a sports website, as well as stated in an ESPN interview. I guess you think you’re above everyone else to the point where you can judge someone’s actions as stupid. If you had pretty good stats in school, that most likely would include your SAT, ACT, and maybe an ASVAB. If you scored well on those tests, you aren’t of average intelligence. It’s the “cool” trend to snub academia, and it’s getting on my nerves. When adults shrug off academic success and even snub it, the next generation views it as unimportant. They even see it as “uncool” to be academically successful. All of those posts containing store front signs that say, “closed because we can’t take cards and our employees don’t know enough math to make change”, aren’t really a joke. It’s sad. Yeah, go ahead and put me down. I hear degrading comments every day. If stating my achievements bothers you, then it says more about you than it does about me.

    Here is one of many websites that promoted the process I used. https://ecosports.com/blogs/vegan-athletes/how-to-break-in-a-baseball-glove







  • No. It’s not good for your health, as an adult. It also tastes salty. I had to pump breast milk from myself years ago, after each of my two children were born. Not only is it a pain to pump breast milk, but it doesn’t taste very good. I sampled some of it from the medela graduated cylinders I used for storing my milk. My son was having stomach problems and my husband and I were going back and forth about the causes of it. Maybe it was the bottles, maybe they’re shaped wrong, maybe it’s the formula I’m supplementing with because I’m not able to pump as much as I would like to since I work, or maybe it was because breast milk tastes bad. Yes, that last argument was what led me to say that my breast milk was not worse than the Nutramigen formula for newborns with stomach issues. I tasted the milk and the formula. Breast milk has a saltier taste.

    It’s tempting. I feel the same way. Legally, though, it would make my day if the sheriff’s department would just bring cadaver dogs to his house and have them sniff along the north west side of the house. That’s all it would take, and then he’d be exposed for so much past abuse. I don’t even want to share all of the details until they dig and find the evidence. I’ve been angry, I’ve been sad, I’ve been just void of any feeling towards him; all of this over the course of 35 years. I they would just dig after having cadaver dogs sniff this place, I wouldn’t even need words to explain all of the past abuse. I would be financially screwed over and in need of new housing arrangements. It would probably bankrupt me in legal fees to explain all of what has happened. Despite all of this, it would be worth it.

    Yeah, I scored 97th percentile on the ASVAB, had a 4.2 GPA leaving high school, and had a federal scholarship in a STEM field. Right now I’m listening to an elderly relative call me stupid for trying to quickly condition this glove in the oven. An elderly relative that failed all of his grade school math courses, beat me as a child, and did worse things to me as a child/teen (that I can’t even say online). Thanks for the upvote.



  • No. I used to do that. I stopped doing that after I registered for be the match and had gangs subsequently stalk and harass me. I had people threatening to shoot me over the past several years, which may or may not be tied to registering, but many of their threats were motivated by my blood type. I’m the universal blood type donor. I’ve had several people, throughout my life, make comments about having me killed for my organs since I’m everybody’s type. I know it was just people being cruel, but I really feel more at ease by not being a listed organ donor.
