Flying Fish (Page 28)

Week ain't done yet.  I'm really irritated today at some basketball stuff today after my son was twice intentionally pushed (what would be considered a flagrant moving pick) by a kid almost 3 times his size and was hurt after the 2nd incident (which wasn't called and was quite obvious).  Let's just say that it wasn't a pretty scene and I was asked to leave.  So, I really need to get rid of some aggression regarding bad reffing, opposing coaches who teach their kids on how to be cheap players, and hostile parents and swim.  Basketball isn't fun anymore.

Thinking of trying this myself but here is a link to some anitchlorine shampoo/conditioner/lotion! Click on link below.  Apply lotion while you are still damp... I like using a loufra too!

I just took a bath in oil. Oh la la!  My skin feels so soft!!!!!  I have tons of anti chlorine stuff here (In fact I have tons of everything! Urgh) I dread buying new stuff because I don't use/hoard the stuff I have. I'm terrible for that.  I recently bought some olay "in shower" lotion...forgot I had that. I just found it however so I will use that one up 1st.

Thanks for the link though, I appreciate it   I've saved it into my faves.

  I really hope your day went better than mine, peeps.

I am POSITIVE that you will DEFINITELY swim 1000 meters!

HI Fishies...

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was pretty good, not too much to tell.  Our numbers are looking pretty good considering this was only a half week.  I got into the spreadsheet and updated my stats (it's 3200 not 2200).  I likely won't get as much per week in the following weeks, so figured I'd try and get ahead a tad.

Hey Dee, thanks for the web lesson!!  Perhaps one day soon I will try and update my 25 in 25 team stuff.

No, the week isn't done yet. But I figured posting that might motivate some people to get out and swim/bike/run. How many refs are there in a game? None of them saw this? How's your son? Is he ok?

2 refs.  They were not calling a lot of crap stuff.  I talked to one of the guys during half-time, too.

My son is doing a little better, probably because he's moving around.  I bet he'll be hurting later and in the morning, though.

Rethinking plans constantly. Possibly we may not hit Georgia.  Still playing around with this and that and options to Orlando.

No, you sign a waiver for these leagues.  All part of the game.  It was a knee to the upper thigh.  It was an intentional cheap shot moving pick/flagrant push, but the knee contact was incidental.  The kid was doing more football than basketball.  I let their coaches and the ref know what I thought, but didn't use vulgarity.  The one coach did and I told him to watch his mouth.

Don't forget to call the league's coordinator/manager.  When these things happen in my league I want to know about it.  (that's why I love voicemail on Mon mornings - NOT!!) 

Were the ref's certified officials or just high school kids?  Not that it makes a difference (i've had 15 yr olds ref better games than some of the certified officials that get sent out).

If you notify the manager (and be prepared with your sons team name, coach name, and game location and time - this all helps the manager know who was refing) at least then you can tell yourself that you've done your part.  OFTEN, we (the league managers) don't know about these incidents unless the parent calls.  Just be nice and calm on the phone.

You're welcome. A lot of people have asked about writing links for their team or mentor group. So I figured I'd write up instructions for it. Congrats on getting ahead! (I'm behind, but I'll catch up.)

Funny, I just checked my PM's and BrianO had PM'd ME asking on how I did it (which I only survived by remembering your talk about spreadsheets).  I refered him to your thread.

:P

LOLOL!
