She sounds like a real keeper - very caring.
Sounds like she has grieved her whole life for not having a normal mother-daughter relationship. So sad.
I'm glad you found each other.
Seriously, I don't mind being alone and I have a great marriage. My wife is in Japan at the moment so I do miss having someone to argue with.... just kidding. Some people have to have other people around but I'm not one of them. I don't get lonely.... if I did I'd get a dog. 🤣
So romantic.🤣🤣

I've heard a treadmill + years' supply of Ozempic makes a great gift.
Wives are usually very appreciative.
This is on my Mount Rushmore of sports movies.
1: Bull Durham
2: Remember the Titans
3: Field of Dreams
4: Rocky
I had a hard time not putting Hoosiers on there, but the other four I just enjoyed a little more.
I never saw what was so great about Field of Dreams. Bull Durham was OK, but wasn't really about sports, imo. Never saw Titans.
As time goes by, Hoosiers doesn't do much for me. The potential was there for a great story, but Gene Hackman was not convincing as a Knight-style hard-ass coach. The story line with Barbara Hershey was stupid. I did love the scenery and the games scenes inside the gyms. The caravan scene going to the Sectionals always puts a lump in my throat - I remember those times so well.
On the other hand, Breaking Away just gets better every time I watch it. Maybe because I was there when it was filmed, but the characters and shots around Bloomington and the quarry scenes are great. Paul Dooley as the dad was great, too. Just not much I can criticize about it. I was driving down 3rd Street, which was blocked off, while they were doing the serenade at the sorority scene - just great memories.
You're killing me, Smalls.
Sorry. I go to maybe 3 or 4 movies every year and mostly about historical events or personalities. I find most sports movies to be so fake, I just can't take them seriously. Probably just old age.
I think Rocky would be at the top of everyone's list. I also liked The Natural, but it hasn't aged well, imo. I just watch it for the line: "Pick me out a winner, Bobby". Damn, that gets to me every time.
As Hooky said, “you’re killing me, Smalls!”
The movie is about the way a lot of us grew up, playing and learning the game of baseball while on our own. Football in a field. Basketball on a concrete court with a chain net.
Stream it and watch it. It’s not some actor(s) trying, unconvincingly, to be athletes.
Well now I'm gonna have to check it out. Sounds like my youth.
Was planning on checking out some of The Natural film locations last year when we were up in Buffalo for a game...most have sadly been torn down. Sucks.
Exactly. And that’s the beauty of the movie. We’d be outside until our mothers dragged us home.
Now, you have to kick kids outside and lock the door. And then the kids would cry to come back in, for their video games.
It's a great movie. One of those that you'll always stop and watch if you see it while flipping through channels.
