Sports

Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Acidman has posted how he feels badly that his son hasn’t the passion he had for football.Now I would be damn proud of that boy for feeling that way. After all it’s only a game. I have 2 sons who are competitive as hell, the youngest one is still playing football and has two things on his mind right now. CARS and FOOTBALL. In a few short weeks it will be WRESTLING mania. The rest of the world could go to hell. I HATE that.I have always felt games in general whether sports or the “games people play” are such a waste of life and head space. I believe I don’t have a competitive bone in my body. Ok, not true, I love to play poker…I’d take your money in a heartbeat. I really don’t have a passion to win…just to play the game. Tell me bullshit to that, it’s ok. Besides I haven’t played for so many years it really doesn’t count anymore.The small town I came from and my son is still there are sports fanatics. School will close down if they make it to the playoffs. They have their priorities.I always went to a few games of my eldest sons, and fly back to attend a couple of games of my youngest, because I do care and love them. As my children grew up I knew parents who HAD to attend every game. HAD to be there to show support. I never understood that. I would always ask them “Do you sit and watch them every time they play Monopoly or Nintendo?” Of course not…but that’s different I would hear. Really? How? Well it just is. Ahhh….I see. NOT.I’m sure I won’t be watching any wrestling matches this year, last year did me in. My son is an excellent wrestler, when he had his opponent in some sort of position that I was sure would snap that poor boys neck and started yelling for my son to let him alone….I knew my wrestling days were over. I wish my sons were. I wish I could tell him he is not going to do that…but I won’t. Others have survived this I’m told. My oldest son did but he was over 6′ and wrestled at 190 I think it was. Nobody got him in those positions. Now my youngest is about 5’7 and weighs 135, he’s all muscle but – I know it’s stupid – I’m scared for him.I won’t tell him this, but I wish he would just be a geek. I don’t want to know he pinned someone in 18 seconds, or his car will go 110, or when he tackled so and so that they didn’t get up for a couple of minutes. I hate that gleam he gets in his eye. I really, really don’t want to know damn it. It makes me feel sick inside.It can be such a bitch being a parent.

Alcohol affects the chances of IVF success

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
The findings may add new evidence that alcohol affects women undergoing IVF, so we should seriously consider amending their living. The eggs and sperm takes at least three months to develop and should therefore be stopped smoking, reduce alcohol consumption or if overweight, can be improved by weight if the couple wants to maximize the chances of success. The couples included in the survey had fertility problems, which means that other factors might have played a role in why alcohol consumed influenced the likelihood of living systems of birth.
