I have always broken in my gloves with oil and practice. I decided to hurry this one along by using the suggested oven tip I have heard about in the past. “Oh, just put your glove in the oven!” I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire. I thought I was wrong. My Easter was ruined today.
Because I am used to my soft, leather, Mizuno, Fastpitch glove that I had for years, and now it’s gone. I was left looking at this cheap, new, Franklin glove, wondering how I was going to break it in by next week.
Yeah, I scored 97th percentile on the ASVAB, had a 4.2 GPA leaving high school, and had a federal scholarship in a STEM field. Right now I’m listening to an elderly relative call me stupid for trying to quickly condition this glove in the oven. An elderly relative that failed all of his grade school math courses, beat me as a child, and do worse things to me as a child/teen (that I can’t even say online). Thanks for the upvote.
Why is this "relative" allowed within 15 feet of your property. If you need someone to "take care" of them, I can bring my own bat. We can take turns pitching their balls with your new glove.
It’s tempting. I feel the same way. Legally, though, it would make my day if the sheriff’s department would just bring cadaver dogs to his house and have them sniff along the north west side of the house. That’s all it would take, and then he’d be exposed for so much past abuse. I don’t even want to share all of the details until they dig and find the evidence. I’ve been angry, I’ve been sad, I’ve been just void of any feeling towards him; all of this over the course of 35 years. I they would just dig after having cadaver dogs sniff this place, I wouldn’t even need words to explain all of the past abuse. I would be financially screwed over and in need of new housing arrangements. It would probably bankrupt me in legal fees to explain all of what has happened. Despite all of this, it would be worth it.
If there's evidence like you're suggesting, the police department should have an anonymous tip line that you can call. And no legal fees required if it's a criminal case, the police are the ones in court.
I’m not bragging. I’m just trying to verify that I’m not some idiot while my relative treats me like crap for burning a cheap glove. Everyone always thinks I’m bragging. You should hear the way “dad” discusses me. No one brags on me, so trust me, I never learned to brag.
I mean why tell him though if you knew he was just gonna talk shit? What I'm seeing here is a lot of decisions based on impulse, armchair diagnosis is mild ADHD lmao. either way, grab a cold one or any other vice you have, put on a comfort TV show, call this day a lemon and continue on, sorry your day sucked my man
I felt bad for you in this post, but now you're sounding kind of like an asshole. You can have technically good stats on paper but it doesn't mean you are immune to doing something stupid. I also had really good stats in school, but I am of perfectly average intelligence. It doesn't make me any better than anyone else and it doesn't make me immune to stupidity. You did something stupid. I'm sorry, but it's true and it happens to everyone. Accept it.
