I think I'm just about caught up and I can start reading again. I'm pretty excited.

There was one school that was the Yellow Jackets and another that was the 'Gators, and those were cool, but most were the Mustangs or the Stallions or things like that.<br /><br />Alex: You know, I never thought of that.<br />And I did want kids. I wouldn't give them up despite the headaches.<br /><br />ABftS: Oh, they're really worth it. Most of the time. Especially when they're in school. :P<br />Thanks!<br /><br />PT: I played softball during high school but never liked it. Didn't have beer with it, either.<br /><br />M.J.: They have to start practice early because they're season has to be over before the actual season begins. The travelling teams and such which some of these girls will participate in, so they can't have the local season going on while the other season is happening.<br /><br />Briane: I don't think I could survive temps that low anymore. 5 years ago, I probably still could have done it but not now.<br /><br />My daughter wrote one of the stories in Charter Shorts. I'm trying to get her to do another for Charter Shorts 2.<br /><br />I missed one game last season because I had some author thing to do. Some thing which must have been less than important because I can't even remember what it was, just that it caused me to miss a game. You should go find my post on their championship game from last season.<br /><br />Michael: I was more into volleyball.<br /><br />Nancy: Oh, I'm not slamming them; it just doesn't sound like a softball name.<br /><br />I know at least one person that has abused that "like" button by spamming facebook to get people to go click it. He had something like 80 "likes" but only 6 reviews. If that's why they took the button off, I'm kind of okay with that. But I bet it's more to do with the lawsuit.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-15834568051719677952013-02-18T12:37:56.654-08:002013-02-18T12:37:56.654-08:00Hey, don't slam the Ducks.

So maybe that's a good thing. they don't look intimidating, but they'll bite you to the ground.<br /><br />Good luck with the kids being home. I miss that myself!<br /><br />And yeah, the "like" button went the way of the Amazon tags, I guess. I think it has to do with their efforts to eliminate author coercion, juiced reviews and sock puppet accounts. All in the name of fairness. It really should be about the reviews in relation to sales.

Our house being the way it is, that means it was cold all day in our house and of course we didn't want to go outside and do things even though we wanted to go outside and do things.<br /><br />Have you thought about getting your daughter to write? Have her do a guest post on your blog.<br /><br />That is great for her that she's in softball, though. Even though you don't watch sports, do you go to her games?Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-47339340461026636842013-02-18T08:54:28.963-08:002013-02-18T08:54:28.963-08:00I used to play softball as a kid.
