Nor Cal Return to Play

crush said:
Things people will do in order to play, let alone survive. I was in a store this morning with no one but me shopping, the checker, the bagger, the fruit guy and Mr Mask Enforcer ((MME)). I kid you not Happy, I put my mask around my neck so I could read the prices without my glasses fogging up. This MME dude lights me up and rebukes me for being so reckless. Seriously, the MME tells me I need my mask on at all times in his store. I said no one is around Ralph ((until you bothered me)) and I might just take my business over to the Stater Bros. He said he can read them for me. I said, "oh really?" He actually helped me out. I guess I should be thankful?

You just need a better mask. (or contacts, but not everyone likes contacts.)

The best I’ve found are the expensive cloth ones that hardware stores sell to contractors. They have a good nose wire and are actually sized right for a large face. The ones marketed to women are mostly sized for a small face, so they gap at the nose if you have a big head like me.

But but but.......Dad, I thought the mask was to protect others from me? On top of that, we were told only need mask if someone is within 6 feet. What happen?

Do you want to argue about masks or do you want your glasses to not fog?

If you want to argue about masks, I recommend @EOTL. He is as rude as heck and completely lacking in empathy, but he’s probably willing to argue with you.

Yes, ever since I argued with you and your twin EOTL about if it was right of a doc to tell me ((The Pro Dreamer Dad who never made it pro in anything except being a husband and father)) that my dd has a chance to be a pro after hs. I fell for it too and so many of you made fun of me. My son was way too smart to think pro was going to work in his life. He went for the grades like my wife did. I actually think you guys are the fearsome foursome. Dad4, Espola, The Long Game and EOTL. You seem all one to me bro. I dont think you have kids either. Dad 4 is a cover? I like being one who puts puzzles together. I'm working on, "Mars & Venus: Embracing the Light & Darkness. How to make peace ((love)) with the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine.
Go with Crush and learn to take a deeper look on our true purpose on the planet. This is what a Dear Friend said after he read my rough draft. This draft is also after my wife cleaned it up all my errors.

"Crush goes deep as he shares his heart about his last 12 months being on lock down and forced to look at his marriage head on. He goes where no man dares to go. A true master piece of openness that scares most men, for fear their deeds will be exposed by the Light. A great read as you go to be bed and wonder about why you were even born on this planet in the first place." Jeff from Sacramento

No second avatar. I post too much already. Doubling it would be a bad idea.

I do apologize for any time I made fun of you. That is not fair to you and and it is not who I want to be.

Best of luck to you.

I also apologize for being cocky and over the top in the passed with regards to my ego. I swear I was playing a part for the cause and had to do my part so information could come to bear :) I liked your takes on safety from ACL back before politics took over. I now know of three girls who have torn ACL in last three weeks. All socal and all have verbal. Why do girls have so many more ACXL injuries then boys? i cringe every time my dd plays this great game, high school or club. If match has playoff implications on the line, then she is all in. I pray for her and all the girls safety.

Sorry to hear about the ACL tears. I hope they recover well.

It may be a rough spring for injuries. We all want to rush the games and get back that time we lost. Slowly ramping back up is a really hard thing to sell right now.

Girls have a different leg geometry. Their quads are weaker, their hips are wider, and their legs slant inward. All of that puts more stress on the knees. The menstrual cycle also affects ACL risk in a way that I do not really understand. But it all adds up to several times the injury rate. We do PEP and isometric strengthening exercises to try to limit it.

Is it safe to assume that anti-vaxxers like yourself also believe the pill causes autism? If you want to reduce your daughter’s risk of injury, you might want to get past your Jenny McCarthyism earth-is-flat, vaccines cause autism, moon landing was a hoax, anti-science craziness.

Well, we could listen to a keyboard warrior who has ZERO educational background in Kinesiology or studied body mechanics......Or you could get her working with a trainer that is actually knowledgeable about the subject, can analyze movements, identify dominance and deficiencies in muscle structure and knows how do develop the deficiencies to counter the dominance.

Your choice.

My dd has both. Great advice Kicker. However, anything can happen in soccer. I tore my acl in big time church league. No fun and rehab sucks.

You should do that too, but that’s pretty obvious. Given the apparent genetic predisposition with you and @crush, it is probably only a matter of time. Tik tok. Don’t get bent when I say “I told you so” like the last one who mocked this advice.

I’m going with science....all 3 of my ACL injuries were contact. No pill is going to modify or alter that.

I tore my ACL making a move to the basket in Church League Playoffs ((CLP)). All I did was plant my left knee and make fake and then to the right and left knee just tore. It was so freaking painful Kicker :( I can't imagine 3. BTW, the team was down 2 and only I could make the free throws. I went back out but it was a big mess and the brothers told me they could handle the rest. We lost because they missed the free throws and other team nailed a three with 2 seconds left. Oh well.
