I failed third quarter and had to go to summer school. TLDR. Out professor

Came in senior year third quarter. Chemistry professor. Class was 1/3 ChemEs and 2/3 Chems. Professor said β€œyou chemEs think you are so smart. I’m going to show you otherwise.” 1/3 of the ChemEs failed and no chem majors failed. We all went to summer school and Bs. I still hate that dude.

IRS paid me $21 in interest on payback for accountant’s mistake. Accountant

Charged me $100 on tax return for additional form to file for IRS interest on accountant’s mistake. Tax system is broken. Accountant tells me to review tax forms and sign that I agree. I can’t understand that $hit. Tax code should be simple enough for those paying to understand.

If you missed the market's 10 best days over the past 30 years, your return

If you missed the market's 10 best days over the past 30 years, your returns would have been cut in half. And missing the best 30 days would have reduced your returns by an astonishing 83%.

Couldn’t have said it better than Mill Mountain. I will add after 3 years

Of aau basketball parenting where everyone is a jerk. Side story. My kid was playing aau B basketball, the lowest level. Erik Green’s mom had a team that was beating us 60-3 at halftime. They came out in the second half and full court pressed us. Then the parents cussed off the court. We asked a Boo Williams coach why the other team didn’t move up. He said they enjoyed crushing teams. Please note that this did not help any of their players improve. Just the parents and coaches being selfish. I digress. In upward and these are little kids, there are no clear outs, no double teams and no running up the score. Just learning the game and learning life lessons. One or two coaches were dongs, but the kids, the parents and most of the coaches made you feel like you had invested your time wisely and you felt good afterwards.

I have 3 years of Police Athletic League (fun/scary) and 4 years of Upward.

More challenging than you think but totally rewarding. I also have three years of JV clock keeping and three years of middle school book keeping. I’m middle school book keeping, the refs would say how many fouls on each time. I said you don’t have to know. Just call a foul a foul. ** Edited by dolph at 1/11/2025, 9:25:18 PM

Couple thoughts. Refs need a time limit on how long you can discuss every p

Possible scenario. Do that during clinics, but don’t ruin a game. Who other than GChokie and Cvillhoops (who have never been seen in the same room because they are always the smartest man in the room) thought that Brown Jr would be such an awesome addition to the team. Bumpy road ahead with Temple gambling guard out, Hammonds potentially out and MY doesn’t seem to trust Rechsteiner. Playing with no pure point guard.

Because Duke took it all and went home. Left Pitt 250k. Did you not love Dr

Dr. Y A Liu? Learned more with him our senior year than the other three years combined. He gave us so much homework but before the Super Bowl he said β€œno homework, superball party”. I still call it the Superball.

Maybe you root for Temple basketball. Wait. CCNY. No; Boston College

Tulane Arizona State. Never mind. ** Edited by dolph at 12/26/2024, 10:08:57 AM
