Otherwise they would be home bound and I’d be #### careful I didn’t pass anything. Watch two people die from pneumonia and it changes your outlook. Life's cycle! With the cancellation of the NBA, Spring Training, now March Madness, and more, in 9 months time, the hospital maternity wards will be packed to the brim to triple replenish whatever we lost in lives from the virus in the interim.

If you eat the right foods and exercise daily you’re still going to die. However birth certificates are not issued with an expiration date. Get busy living!

Does that make the attack any less tragic? The bigger point I'm trying to make is just because something is statistically insignificant doesn't mean it is insignificant. You're overreacting. You, of course, make your point with only one. That's a given. Statistically, then, how many drum corps participant deaths would you expect this season? It's a silly question. As is yours. Nobody here thinks even one death is insignificant. You're willfully rejecting his intention and disregarding his typical posting style. Again, you're over-reacting. Nobody said it's not significant. You're trying a shift and tarry move that's invalid in checkers and chess in three countries. Let it be. Humor is good. Sensitivities are important. Presume positive intent. Wash your hands.

Extending age-outs for another season effects the others who are of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the last episode, my wife, sister and I just looked at each other with a “What the hell was that?” expression on our faces. Well, one to avoid on the treadmill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
