I always enjoy watching the Olympics. I like the figure skating, snow boarding, ski jumps etc..anyone have any thoughts about this years games thus far? What are some of your favorite events? Btw I totally cringe when I see these skaters fall. Also I must admit I don't quite understand the sport of curling. So if anyone does please enlighten me.

Absolutely! Can't wait for hockey! Go Slovakia!

 
I loved watching Slopestyle. Watching figure skating now. Winter games are my fave.

 
A friend of mine had someone from her hometown play Hockey last night. She did very well. Fun to watch!

 
Watching off and on.

I do enjoythe opening music, something about it makes me giddy.

I'm not much of an ice skating enthusiast, perhaps it's just misplaced jealousy /default_smile.png

Seeing the fire in the eyes of people who have dedicated their lives to any sport, amazing what a human body is capable of...

I won't lie, I LOVE watching people win!

Happy to be a cheerleader from the comfort of my own bed!

Which by the way, sounds like a serious upgrade from some of the less than cozy Sochi accommodations.

 
Yes love the Olympics.  I am married to a former Olympian.  I could do without all of the freaking commercials.

 
Yep watched the cross country skiing yesterday and Jesus are those guys absolutely done for when they finish! They all just collapsed in a heap in the snow one by one at the end. Yep there is something magical about the Winter Olympics for sure.

All the best..

 
My husband taped 20 hours of it on our cable box! Really?

Beranda I agree totally about the opening ceremonies. It's a beautiful thing to see. Also funny you mention the hotel accommodations as we were looking at tweets and pics of them last night some of the athletes posted and holy crap!! Jmorgan I agree it's totally cool your spouse was an Olympian! Wow! Plus that ski course they are doing over there is no joke! Saw a lot of the snow boarders fall last night that makes me nervous. 😖

 
Awesome, bet you're so proud! What an achievement! Mine look like nothing compared to that! Now I can say I know someone that was in the Olympics via virtual friendship! Cool!

Thanks HL.  She is still swimming masters and competing on a national level.  She is hard as a rock and I think she could kick my ass if she wanted to.  Just don't let her know.  Don't need to be sleeping with one eye open at night.

 
Anyone watching tonight? I'm really enjoying it. Saw the twins win the speed skating. And the story of the Canadian who won gold in Vancouver who said it was for his handicapped brother. Made me all teary eyed. Such feel good stories being told. Reminds me there is good in the world.

 
US woman's hockey.  They are bad ass!!  Bring home the gold girlz /default_cool.png

 
The women's hockey players are bad ass u are so right! Also @Maybesomedsay I missed a lot last night. Had too much going on in the house but those speed skaters are amazing!! They have such control! I did read about the brother dedicating his medal to his disabled bro and it was very touching. Lots of people are talking about it today at work.

 
I'm not too impressed this year with the Olympics to be honest...

 
Watching them now.  I really thought the US would be a stronger force in the medals.  Oh and the commercials again, WTH?  It's like commercial Olympics!

When I watched snowboarding the other night I feel like almost everyone fell! I know they were complaining about the Pike they use to do their tricks. I guess it must be more difficult than usual maybe bc everyone was busting their butts.

  2. xenxra @ xenxra: @3ak mostly, will prob be gone entirely by end of summer imo
  3. F @ frozenSR17: hope everyone has a nice start 2 their weekend. "keep it one hunnid," as someone once said to me
  4. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  6. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  10. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  13. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  14. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  15. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  16. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  18. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  19. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  20. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
