I've swept a few legs playing that position in my child hood

***SMWS6TA*** · 08-10-2016, 11:25 AM

Yes.....yes......YES!!!

I didn't even know Tim was turning 21 again.

I've watched Chloe enough to know how the game is played in general. So far I'm finding all the problem is with the league as it is almost every time. There are no equipment bags so I have to evidently go buy all the shit I'm going to need for practice like cones and practice jerseys. There are no practice schedules for fields and it's first come so basically makes it a bitch to schedule practice times not knowing if a field is open. My career affords me the ability to get their first though I bet.

completely unrelated.....got back from my trip back to Missouri last night. What a depressing trip that was....I will probably never go back. That area I'm from is so poor and run down it sucks to go back and visit. I just don't understand how people can just let an area rot to nothing like those people have. It never was a metropolis but people halfway took care of their stuff and evidently those people are no longer around. Most all of the houses I lived in growing up have been torn down and all the buildings my dad worked out of are gone. There were a few high points.....kids got to go out on the mississippi river in my uncle's tug boat. Not a lot of kids running around that's done that. Took them fishing one afternoon with cane poles and caught some fish. Other than that we had more fun at the hotel than anywhere else.....could've done that here.

I know what you mean Tim,

My teen yrs in Pa the Naval Base I grew up on they're closed down. The base housing had some nice homes that were turned over to the city and became shit. Got so bad the Feds took them back and fenced off. Few yrs later the whole place has been bulldozer over. I believe the old runway is still there. Would make one hell of a drag strip but it being surrounded by everything else they would most likely bitch like the did when Naval Planes took off or landed.

Why do ppl move next to airports and then bitch about noise?

Shit it wasn't bull dozed last time I was up there. Hell I used to work at the Ford dealer across 611 from the runway. But it did go to ghost town status once it was finally closed completely with the contractors bugging out. Didn't know about Horsham getting some of the base housing

Does anyone have any experience with starting little ones with soccer? If so, how did it go?

I have a little

My 3rd one starts this year. Those first years are probably the most fun because no one gives a shit about anything.....well....almost no one. The kids aren't expected to be good and they basically run around the field for an hour like a flock of ducks with a ball out in front of them. The kids and the parents get the most out of those first couple years of playing. Later on there's a gap that developes between kids and not everyone is good anymore....that's about the same time the parents start getting uptight and bitching more. My oldest son didn't care for soccer....he's not a sports guy. My daughter though digs it and loves playing. She plays spring, fall, and winter leagues. She's not the next Mia Hamm but she's pretty good. She's very aggressive and has the concept of how the game is played. If she can't beat them athletically she beats them mentally.......and physically. She knocks a lot of people down.

That's awesome! My daughter will be three in Sept. Since she was two, so loves to kick the soccer ball. It's so funny, because she is such a natural with dribbling and kicking the ball to whoever she's playing with. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Very helpful! We are thinking of signing our daughter up for the local leagues this fall!

How old are your little ones now?

my youngest turns 4 in October. He's gonna be a superstar.......that or he's gonna spend most of his time kicking kids in the balls. It's a toss up at this point.

My daughter is 10 and my oldest is 13.

Chloe 2 years ago

this is one of my favorites from that time period beause it shows her staying with the ball and not giving up on it

**Xx JEWEL xX** · 08-10-2016, 06:09 PM

Wow! That's awesome! Your daughter is really good. Seems like she's a natural player. It's also exciting that your youngest is starting soon! It's crazy how quickly they start growing up!!!

back to my post bitching about my recent trip back to Missouri to visit......this was a cool thing that came out of it. My cousin had a pic on his phone of my great grandma.....she was cherokee. I had a picture of her and my great grandpa together but it was cool getting another one.

Took possession of it Saturday. I don't believe the dealership knew what they had in regards to the SS. I estimate $2k+ in mods ($1500 alone in a JBA full cat-back and Elite Engineering Catch Can, and Cold Air Inductions CAI). I generated a list and turned to the interwebz for pricing. Being conservative, I used the lowest prices I ran across and wrote them down for record. Breaking down the RPO codes now. No buyers or sellers remorse at all!

With the release of the 6th Gen, 5th Gen values are making a lot or vehicles within reach. Good luck w/your search!

You got lucky in getting a 2012 or newer. 2011 and older have an issue with the evap core for the hvac. In addition to the issue in order to fix the front window has to be pulled in order to access 2 bolts that are too close to the window. In 2012 that changed them to a post that slides in.

Making sure we are talking about the same location.

I lived in Warminster, the base there was called NADC, but my dad was station in Willow Grove.

I just looked it up Willow Grove changed it's name since I was there. I base housing I'm talking about has been renamed Warminster Community Park

**GTP231** · 08-11-2016, 08:57 AM

Across the street at the dealer is still Horsham thus why I called it that as I didn't think it crossed the county line to be in Warminster. Was Willow Grove Joint Reserve Station or something like that when I left in 2011

***SMWS6TA*** · 08-11-2016, 09:16 AM

In the 80's it was an Active Duty & Reserve

**GTP231** · 08-11-2016, 06:23 PM

Active duty left around 05 iirc
