QFT. Struggling with some of this now, and we are darn near the "everything in our power" part you mention- not sure it's enough.

I am very sorry to hear this and I truly hope you seek help for whomever the affected person is. As it happens, there were many clues this girl left that are easily recognizable in retrospect. Make sure you have access to social network pages; kids today put their hearts and souls out there and as it turns out, this kid's Instagram was a 5-week long suicide note. As I said, easily recognizable in retrospect, perhaps less so in the moment. I hope I never have to attend a funeral such as this again.

[QUOTE name="butt3r3dt0ast" url="/t/72760/social-thread-chat-about-non-golf-here/756#post_1089523"]   My wife and I are taking an early flight tomorrow to Orlando to meet up with some friends for the MN Gopher bowl game! Looking forward to getting out of the cold and enjoying a long, warm weekend! [/QUOTE] My New Years Eve will be spent living vicariously through butt3r3dt0ast and Ernerst Jones. Both the wife and I  get up at 5 in the morning for work on New Years Day. Double time and a half though for both of us.

I will eat a Barbeque Rib in your honor. No, make that two for both of you.

Going to my cousin's memorial service this morning. Being my family, the service is being held at a golf course. Good thing it's cold and rainy. Otherwise a bunch of them would be sneaking out to get 9 in. RIP Joe.

It sounds like Joe was alright. Probably even fun to be around.

He was. He wanted everyone dressed in Bengals, Buckeyes, or Reds attire and we were happy to comply. Joe had MD and was confined to a wheelchair his entire life. He was a character. He will be missed.

Roundabouts, why does the average driver not understand how to pass through one? Drives me nuts.

Because they are French. Seriously...have you ever been upon Napoleans Arch and looked down upon the intersection of 12 two lane roads? That they are one way doesnt help. That they have alternating incoming and outgoing doesnt help. The French finally resolved the design by declaring a no fault insurance situation for the giant one way circle. So blame Napolean. He was short.

Actually, this is a popular misconception. He was almost 5'7", which was not short for that period.

Hard to tell. He was buried inside 7 hand carved marble stone sarcophagi. Each larger than the other. His coffin would barely fit in the rotunda of most state capitol domes. It probably weighs as much as some. My wife said he was more famous than Elvis in his day. Maybe his ego was so big it made him seem small physically.

Is it even a sentence? Anyway it was a nested type thing. I think they buried him 7 times.

That made me think of The Great Outdoors. Watch out for a bald headed bear. :-)

The whole fam is celebrating the PGA tour this weekend being in Hawaii (we are not in Hawaii) + a belated Christmas celebration featuring a mini version of the Christmas Story lamp. Coincidentally, my ma and pa are headed to Hawaii on Wednesday and my dad will be playing his first round of golf since 1972. He would routinely shoot par at his home course in his teens until he "quit for booze and girls." I told him nowadays...booze, babes, and golf go hand and hand! :D

Nice! I used to have a miniature Christmas Story Lamp tree ornament. It broke this year, very sad...

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
