The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

[xPINKx]

Good Lord, all those people outside are behaving like drunk children...

But it's good to know that seemingly every teenager in my neighborhood owns a gas pistol.

If that match had been a fight, it would have been a TKO stoppage after Kroos had scored. Now it gets only more humiliating for the brazilian team.

I'm glad I didn't went to a public viewing today. Never really warmed with football, but the general attitude now would be unbearably obnoxious.

Singlet came, feels weird.

Another class that would be good for most to take or have in high school is money management. It is amazing how bad people are at understanding basic money management items and other finance related things like an amortization schedule.

Could not agree with this more. I'm still trying to sort out the basics of this and I'm almost 30.

At one point, there was the assumption that basic life skills, like finance, and how to cook, would be taught by parents. Or at least some sort of parental figure. How valid this was at the time, and how much of it was a fiction, I'm not sure.

But now, it seems that a lot of people aren't learning these skills from the parents, so there's the expectation that schools step-up and do that job. Which seems reasonable enough on it's own, although it does seem that there's an ever increasing wish list of things schools should do, as well as wanting more work on core academics, but not the corresponding desire to pay for all that.

I agree that this should likely be the parent's responsibility but with the high number of single and dual working parent families, I feel like some sort of public school class should exist and be mandatory.

My mom never had much time to pass along that info with her work schedule. She was mostly excited when the bills were covered and we were fed and so forth.
Also, she wasn't the best money manager herself.

It was more like Cain/JDS 2. It was over early but still dragged on for the full time.

Literal lol at Germany mauling Brazil.

Good. Gooooood.

I felt the same way. Then I wore it twice a week for close to a year. We are now one (except for the fact that I'm replacing her, due to getting fat)

I don't mind the short inseam of the inzer, I look like Taz from ECW, except paler and taller with no Mohawk or FTW wristbands.

 

[DrBdan]

Didn't Taz finish people with a rear naked choke? He was using MMA/BJJ moves in wrestling before it was cool (yeah I'm looking at you Undertaker...)

Yeah. We can talk about an ideal world, where every kid grows up in a two parent family, and they can afford to have one of those parents not work, so there's lots of time for the kids, and the parents actually know and want to teach their kids life skills, and be involved in early education, sport, etc.

But that's not a reality, and I'm all for schools and other organizations picking up some of the slack, so that everyone gets a basic level of certain experiences, like being taught life skills, physical activity, and being told they're valued.

Yeah, and I believe he actually brought the act of tapping out to wrestling too. Taz was awesome.

Kata Ha Jime.

Squatting in singlet feels awkward.

 

[Tosa]

I don't mind it, except I want to adjust the singlet after each rep.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

Lol. Yeah! Lots of weird looks for wearing it.

 

[Tosa]

I've long since stopped caring about weird looks.

I'm at a commercial gym. At 1am. I look like a crazy skinhead.
