What kind of errands....

Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

No, YOU try reading it. You didn't even manage to quote it correctly. Here it is.

"Its lots and lots of fun to stand still while someone else whips a hard round object in your general direction and tries to hit the slender stick you are holding in your hands I guess."

QM is saying person throwing the ball may be trying to hit the stick PA IS NOT TRYING TO SWING. QM is saying that precisely because PA says she doesn't try to hit the ball. At all. She's made that quite clear. If the ball is hit by PA, it's an accident - as in, the pitcher accidentally pegged the bat with a throw. PA is not experiencing the joy of trying to hit it, or the joy of trying to do anything, in fact - just of "having fun." Doing what, she won't say - but it's not trying to hit.

No, unless your neighborhood dogs join in and take turns playing different positions. It's a pickup game. Same way that a bunch of neighborhood kids using whichever basketball rules they all agree on and ditching the rest are playing pickup basketball. Some are closer to organized league play than others, but it's still basketball. or 3 or 4 kids just knocking around a soccer ball. Or the version of badminton most people recognize, rather than competitive. Or bouncing a volleyball back and forth. They all have formal, league versions with more strict rules and then much less formal, less strict pickup versions, but they're all still the same game. And many of us find the less formal, less strict, more relaxed, pickup versions enjoyable and worth doing just for the sake of PLAYING. Amazingly enough, it's not necessary to keep score or "win" to enjoy playing. For many of us, its enough to simply love the game.

What difference does it make who "brought it up"? I'm not debating "who started it" - I'm debating what you said about it.

Why is it so difficult to imagine the ability to understand a point AND disagree with it?


I laughed hard when I read your bowling example, because it is so COMPLETELY the opposite of how my family bowls. Did I mention that I once bowled a 10? And had a ball doing it?


No one has said winning isn't a worthy pursuit. We simply don't agree that the ENJOYMENT of the sport comes from any sort of goal regarding winning.

And once again, you make assumptions about the goal of the team. I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I never saw it coming.

And again, it proves your statement false. No matter how you try to sidestep it, you were simply wrong.

"Well" means different things to different people. Using bowling as an example, when John bowls, "well" to him means 220 and above. When my ex bowls, "well" means 180 or above. When his wife or I bowl, we agree any score with 3 digits is "well" (although if I were to get really technical, "well" for me is really 125 or above...but I've rolled enough games below 100 to know better than to take a 100 for granted when I start). When my sister bowls, she's happy to hit some pins. Ever.

I've bowled in a couple of leagues. the first league I bowled in I rolled a 122 average over the course of the first 3 weeks. By the end of the league, 32 weeks later, I had a 121 average.

In my second league, I rolled a 120 average over the course of the first 3 weeks. By the end of the league, 25 some weeks later, I had a 121 average. My highest game *ever* league or open is a 146. And my lowest. Well, let's just say, I beat out TM and leave it at that....sigh.

But as we used to say on a bad week in league, "The important thing is we've having fun." Then we laughed hysterically, so it must have been true :)
