And hockey...but I had to give up one sport once I hit high school.
Then it dwindeled down to Baseball and Basketball because my coaches were crying about me playing football and not wanting me to get hurt for their seasons since football was first...so was kind of forced to quit...
Then had to choose between baseball and basketball going into college.
Oh, and I was joking about getting a room. I know yous was helpin her out!
Then after a couple of years my knees decided that my body has had enough and just quit on me.
you played in college? on a scholarship? pretty cool though
it was always my dream to get a basketball scholly....unfortunately, with as hard as I worked, I just wasn't that good (and I was too short lol)
How do your knees feel these days? Most of the time I don't really notice all the aches and pains from the ballin' days, but even when I shoot around, I start to notice all the ankle injuries and shin splints, etc...
During the winter I can barely get up and walk depending on how cold it is. My ankles and knees kind of sit in place. My left knee joint is just about bone to bone now and my right one is catching up.
I've sat on my ass for about the last year just doing rehab, so I've got some body fat on me I hate, but it did build some strength up and I've got full range of motion again, it's just as long as I can deal with the pain the longer I can put the surgeries off.
I can probably make an orchestra with the sounds my knees and ankles make.
It's amazing what playing sports year round can do, even to a young body.
I just started reading Ishmael. I'm about 85 pages in. It's hard but mind-blowing! ("That's what she said.") Some parts I have to read multiple times and even outloud to be able to understand them.

Does it sound like you're walking through the woods when you squat down like a baseball catcher? Or is it more of a 'pouring milk onto rice crispies' sound?

I've been reading it too.. Off and on for a year. Sometimes I find it too intense for what I'm able to accept. Hopefull I'll finish it this summer.
Ok more about me...I'll dance to any music, anywhere.:)

My knees are the rice crispies and my ankles are walking through a forest lol. Same problems for you? lol
Ugh...sometimes I wish I would have stuck with one sport...but nobody wanted me playing football because of my height and it's use in other sports...but dammit, it was the most fun.
Funny thing is, I never once had one lasting injury or ever missed a game in football.
I'm sure one would have come if I played longer, but still, I find it funny considering basketball gave me multiple surgeries, 5 or 6, and my knees drained plenty of times, and plenty of cortizone shots.

It's absolutely freaking INCREDIBLE...seriously! Like I said the concepts are slightly complicated at first, but once you grasp them...OH MY FUCKING GOD!
And, no...you're not alone. I'm not a 'visual' learner...in school I had to read outloud or write something down when I didn't comprehend something.

Yeah, people say basketball isn't a contact sport. The pounding is brutal and takes a huge toll. Jeebus, I've had to wrestle with guys your size in the post and that shit isn't easy. I'm only 6'2"

My husband is a much younger man.... He is 28. Funny thing is, my grandmother also married a man 13 years younger than her at age 41 and she was also divorced with a teenager. My grandfather and her were the sweetest couple ever and adored each other.
I am 5ft 4 and 120lbs - I recently lost 18 lbs before my wedding and feel like a different person without that extra weight
I am addicted to listening to live shows (PJ and many others)
I was born and raised in Wales, but have lived in the US for 20 years
I am very passionate about animals and wish that I had pursued a profession working with them. I love my dogs like they were my own babies
I enrolled in college for the first time at age 40 and am working on my degree in Psychology
I am an extremely happy person and even when things are really bad, I always get through with a smile
That is just a very small tidbit about me......
i'm in Nashville too! :eek: *waves to fellow Nashvillian*

Meh, taller guys hate it when you shorties come flying into the post. Trying to get body position on people 6" shorter than you is horrible. You'll always get called for a foul one way or another, so then you start playing soft next time you're down there and the dude's got a 45" vertical and you get facialed. So it's a lose-lose situation with that.
But yeah, I could understand how it's a bitch for someone smaller in there, the body mass in a post game is just insane these days.
I played a wing position mostly, but would drop down to the post when we would run a smaller lineup, and shit, one day I had to guard a guy that was 7'2". Jesus christ, hardest day of my life. This guy was built too. I couldn't get in front of him to save my life.

I prefer the term trainwreck but close enough. Hey, it gets lonely out in those woods sometimes. The goats are glad I can't catch them!
