OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

I think this is just left brain vs. right brain, or realists vs. romantics.

Peyton chose to have the experience, despite the risk of injury. But for what purpose do most students go to college? Is it not to prepare for, or open doors to, a career?

Oppenheimer chose to leave Cambridge to go to Göttingen, just so he could study under Max Born. Not smart job-wise, but turned out to be very smart career-wise.

Personally, and probably with the perspective of age, I'd now contend that the left brain is not the hemisphere to follow. When you reach the final third of life, it will be the relationships that give meaning and joy to your existence, far more than the money, statistics, resume, or anything else that can be quantified on a spreadsheet or translated into digital.

However successful his career, I hope Chase falls in love with someone he comes to value more than his career, and gets the opportunity to become a devoted father. Those will bring him fulfillment him more than even a HOF career.

But we were all young once...

Man+Woman rule #1:

She is going to change. She is not going to change you.

As for your question:

If it is a date with you, you just schedule them 20 minutes early. "Meet me at 6." Make the reservation for 6:30. If she shows up early, sit at the bar.

If it is for her doctor, her nails, her stuff, let her be as late as she wants, it has no impact on you. Let her breathe; let her live.

If she is sweet and really good lookin', and you are having to wait on her to get ready, go sit in the room and watch her get ready. When she asks what you are doing, tell her you are just watching her because she is soooo good looking and you just like watching her move. She will either blush and think herself the luckiest woman alive, or she will think you are weird, and you don't want to be with a woman like that anyway.
Good call. I dig it!
 
Being able to see one’s faults and still realize you can’t be without that person, is a special thing.
I’m not sure how old you are Jed, but if this is the case, don’t just take it for granted.
Plus she’s hot, c’mon dude!
I'm old enough to know better! Yeah, we got a good thing going on, so ima let this slide....just trying to figure a work around.
 
Tbh, there is no work around(for her)
You better start planning accordingly, because you are on her time bud.
It's funny...I can schedule a doctor's appointment, oil change, work meeting...and everyone is on time. Well, maybe not the doctor....regardless, I'm on her schedule.....it's either deal with it or don't. Ima choose deal. She's a sweetie.
 
Translation: I missed out on winning a title because I was selfish, but I’m just going to double down and try not to show signs that I regret it
Never seen the likes of grown men and women that are so petty over a young man making a decision about his future... I bet not a one of you have ever have been selfish.

I'm somewhat confused. Are y'all married or living together?

There’s a difference between making a decision for your future versus tucking tail because you think you were wronged. He knew he would be a starter here the next year, and likely would’ve gone high in the draft anyways, but was too butt hurt over being sent to the pen, which was the right decision. That’s just how I see it, and he doesn’t and shouldn’t know or care what some rando in the dugout thinks.

Plus, since you mentioned it, I have in fact sacrificed my own self interests for the good of others/the collective numerous times in my career, because it was the right thing to do. There are people out there who do that sort of thing.
