What kind of errands....
| Wed, 08-31-2005 - 1:41pm |
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 :-)?

Where did I say I refuse to admit I hit the ball, not to mention that I was emphatic that I was not trying to hit the ball?

Sounds like a great game to me and one that we play often in our backyard or down at the local grade school.
Why isn't it a softball game?

Where did I say I don't try to hit the ball?

"Where did repeatedly objected to you about what I am physically doing?" Would you care to make that an actual sentence? Moreover, would you care to make that a sentence that bears some relation to what I actually asked? Apparently not, because it appears you have once more completely refused to read what I actually said. I said you objected to me ASKING what you are physically doing out there on home plate. You did it again in this very post. But we all know why you can't answer that question, don't we, so it's OK.
"I assumed you knew the basic rules and general play of a recreational game." Yes, yes I do. And the basic rules and general play of a softball game include having people who are actually trying to hit the ball, actually trying to round the bases, and actually trying to keep people on the other team from doing the same. Apparently you are unfamiliar with this, because you've repeatedly said that all you and your teammates are doing is trying to have fun. "That you actually picture about 30 women standing around on a dusty field in cleats all giggling really doesn't show that you actually have much knowledge of adult recreational softball teams." I don't picture that when I think of people trying to play on an adult recreational softball team. It's all I can picture when I think of women standing around on a dusty field in cleats making no effort whatsoever to prevent the other team from scoring.
My definition of having fun isn't giggling. I never said it was. I'm trying to figure out what yours includes, and you won't say. I play the game as it's meant to be played - actual purposeful attempts to hit the ball, score, help my teammates do the same, prevent the other team from doing same. The fun is the side effect of that attempt, not the goal for which we all showed up.
Oh, no, no no! Where did we get this multiple player requirement all of a sudden? All it takes is a softball and someone having fun playing a game with it! Ask my dog, chewing on one is a great game! He's loving playing that game! He's even got rules - no one gets to take it away from him! That makes it softball, by jiggedy!
Sorry. If you're not following a set of rules where someone is trying to score and trying to keep someone else from doing same, you're maybe having a fun practice. Or you're canoeing. You're not having a softball/soccer/baseball game.
Oh, I see, Senator. "I can neither confirm nor deny that during a softball game, I might actually try to hit the ball. I am not trying NOT to hit the ball. You may draw no conclusions about whether I AM trying to hit the ball. Why do you want to know, anyhow? I object!"
"I am having fun playing softball and one person hitting is a very small piece, again I assumed you knew the rules and basic setup of softball or baseball to know how a batting order works." Oh, goody! You ARE trying to hit the ball when you're up to bat! Otherwise, you can't be playing softball! Because that's how softball works - one of the most basic things is the batter actually has to make a purposeful attempt to hit the ball!
I haven't answered your question because you haven't once phrased it in a way that makes sense. I'll do the best I can to clear up your desperate confusion. I was the captain of my law firm's "B" level volleyball team. Let me explain what that B level volleyball entailed. What we were doing was trying to get the ball over the net in the requisite number of hits, and so the ball would not be returnable, and when we were on defense we acted in such a way as to prevent the other team from being able to do same. We weren't very good. We had fun because we were actually TRYING TO WIN (gasp), however little we accomplished that. If no one had been trying actually to perform the components of volleyball - including trying to score! Again - gasp! - it wouldn't have been fun, and in fact, if we weren't trying to perform the components of volleyball, we certainly wouldn't have said we were playing it. No one was bummed out when we lost, as winning was never the point. Trying to win? Every, single, time, and not ashamed to admit it. It's really not a dirty little secret.
