What's Happening?

Well the handicapped part should be easy.

 

I had a boyfriend that was starting to get that way, lol

 

Aeri,, I posted the maroon on a paul joseph watson vid earlier.

 

Lol. yes you're quite right.

I'm running a bath now, will stretch my legs out. No doubt it's the cold air and no hamstring stretches. Usually the way it happens when I flare the sciatic nerve.

Of course, a couple of beers will loosen me up too. but I'm not drinking until the venue. Trying to cut back on that as it is.

It's just so easy to have a drink when at a venue that serve alcohol. And I find that social drink to be relaxing and calming for me while I play. About 3 drinks per session. But I have to alter other diet stuff to compensate for that. I really should have a go sober one day :unsure: I played sober for half the session in doubles trials, played pretty good. Then when we realized we probably weren't going to make it through, we started drinking but it was good because the pressure was off too. I think we pressured ourselves into not drinking which was too much pressure lol. We should have just done like we always did.

 

I need to drink when I play darts. It is a very fine balance. Too sober and I over think. Too drunk and I throw sloppy. One beer per game and I am pretty good.

 

darts, pool, and bowling. any of those seem to be performed best under the right balance of alcohol.

 

Pool I am just as good sober...I think. Can't remember playing sober since I was a kid.

Same with bowling

 

I like watching the old pool matches and snooker matches where they're smoking and drinking. It's good pub culture it's a shame they've taken that away. There was nothing ever wrong with it.

Championship snooker attire is first class suits and vests. Most other pool I get to watch on tv is the 9 ball and so I don't watch much else. I don't know why 8 ball isn't televised as much I think much more people play 8 over 9.

The Mosconi Cup for example is mostly all 9 ball. Europe V America. I've never even seen a 9ball table in my life. Well I've played on black felt cut pockets before but I think 9ball might be 8ft tables.

But anyway yes I totally agree with the fine line. I think the first beer gives me more confidence just to talk to people. I still only get nervous when I'm watching my opponent and on a black ball where I've crawled back from nowhere to win lol. Usually after win or loss it's not uncommon for me to completely turn red like a lobster and start getting hot and sweaty. Just built up anxiety during a game.

 

Ten Pin bowling? I love that bowling lol.

I've never played lawn bowls but I figure if my eyes go when I'm older that'll be my new sport and hobby. I declared it 3 years ago. I want to make a state team of something.

 

Or curling. I think curling would be fun too. There's olympics for that. =p I'm probably too old for that already.

Plus I'm not very good with skates. I can skate fast on rollerblade and ice but I have no movement capabilities. I just fall over when I need to stop. So I don't skate. same with a bike, I can go fast on a mountain bike and turn but I can't do tricks.

 

We had a pool table in our basement. It's just out of shot in this pic.

This was Christmas 1976. I don't know what my dad was reading instructions to.

These are 3 of my 4 brothers.

 

I can see the pool cues.

 

That looks like a pretty big tv for the 70s?

 

Or maybe it's a window.

 

No skates in curling.
Pretty sure I am as good sober as any level of drunk in Bowling now that I think about it. It's been years since I bowled though.

 

Pretty sure that's no tv

 

It's a window to the backyard.

 

Guy looking out the window looks a lot like a local bartender here...from that angle at least.

 

i bowled in a league one time several years ago. we would play three games per night, and game two was pretty much always my best. too sober in game one, and too drunk by game three.

 

Your brother on the right was pretty hot
