re: How is my kid so tall?

Posted by lsu777 on 4/30/25 at 10:06 am

get his hormones checked and see if his growth hormone levels are high.

and thats awesome your kid is tall.

every male on my dads side of family is 6'4 or taller for last 5 generations...i was 5'10 at start of 7th grade...im still runt in my 40s

height prediciton is anything but a true science because hormones can go crazy at any time and close growth plates or cause someone to shoot up.

They kind of need to take the Florida State/UConn approach. Link Jarrett uses every smaller conference school in Florida essentially as a feeder program for FSU. UConn does something similar but with like D3 schools in the Northeast.

There are enough players in the Carolinas that make it to smaller schools and then blow up that they should be able to get a decent portal crop each year.

i agree but that would take effort on PM part. He hates to leave campus and he treats people like shite and that they are beneath him. Heard the same story over and over again from recruits that he would bring them to his office and first thing he would say would be.....do you understand how lucky you are for me to even be speaking to you...then go on a tirade about how the recruit should be bowing down

not one time did I hear a recruit say he had a plan laid out for development and how the kid could help the team or really even know a ton about the recruit

not to mention Paul has been behind on the sports science, pitch dev and performance training side for a decade now.

sorry for the rant...i dont exactly have a lot of love loss for Paul, respect what he did but the way he treeated people and his lack of accountability.

I’ve been on TRT for about a year or so with a little oral Semorelin at bedtime.

The past couple months I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off and have been horrible about doing my injections in regular intervals. At best I have been doing about 1/2 my prescribed dose.

Anyone else ever fall behind? If so, did you notice any change in your disposition or symptoms?

oh yea, i been on forever and yea i will sometimes go two weeks just when i dont feel like dealing with it. i notice i start getting pimples and get moody

also the oral semorelin is doing dog shite unless its mk677.

good list man. really good. I liked the depth you went into on a couple teams, especially st louis.

gonna be a great 3rd round

one thing though, in the sulphur right up, you mentioned them being 1 round away from playing state tournament in their hometown....that is not how it is working this year

all rounds until the finals will be played at higher seed home stadium and are best of 3

only finals are played in sulphur and is best of 3

See the unfinished waterslide in Lacassine as an example.

that has nothing to do with being supported. That was about Hamsi building it and just assuming Lacassine would just give him water without speaking to anyone at all. When the town said...yea you can pay for water...it stopped the project.

If they don’t build the plant, you still get $0 in property tax. These plants are a little different in you have to be near the natural resource, but I can tell you with certainty, these projects are competitive. Companies absolutely factor incentives into where and/or if they complete these projects.

To your question, is sales tax the only from residents the only additional revenue, no. They have to have somewhere to live so they pay property tax, they pay income tax on their wages, which for a project like this is typically well over the parish average wage. And the company is still paying a shite ton of taxes. Sales tax on purchases, employment taxes, apportionable income taxes to the state, etc, etc.

this

and then also after 10 years the tax exemption is over. so then you get the taxes from that

and mingo is 100% correct in that its kind of.....give them the incentive and they build here...if not they go to texas

so you can get 500 permanent jobs plus the taxes revenue starting in 10 years or you can get nothing...deceide. I prefer delayed gratification and the jobs

Not sure if you’re referring to actual direct staff positions for the plant, but as far as the contractors during the construction phase, most of these mega jobs are at least over 50% Hispanic. I’d guess closer to 65-70% though. Lots of labor from the Houston, and south Texas area. TWIC is also not always required during construction. Lot of people onsite without it

i can tell you last time for the big lng and sasol and other projects it wasnt like that

Why should we respect that? He had a chance to hit a lick at spending 20 billion per year, by spending 5 billion once, and chose not to do so. If his principle is a smaller government that spends less money, he sure screwed the pooch on that one.

again it wasnt that simple because it wasnt a clean bill....lots of other spending in there.

My oldest did competitive soccer for a few years, and while most games were against other local clubs, or a local tournament, there were a few out of town tourneys we took them to.

The one that stands out was in Huntsville Alabama, and there was a Friday night game, multiple games on Saturday, and by the time we got to Sunday morning in the losers bracket, if they lost we all got to leave around 10. If they won, there was like 3-4 hours until the championship game. If it hadn't been raining off and on all weekend, most of us wouldn't have minded sticking around. But when I'm there with her younger brothers and having to kill another 2-4 hours between games with everyone either damp or soaking wet, yeah, I want them to lose so we can head home. Maybe it is bad parenting, and none of us would ever tell our kids that. By then we've seen a half dozen games already and another long wait so y'all get a silver medal or gold medal from the whatever Huntsville Soccer Club tournament presented by some local sponsor isn't that appealing. I still have laundry to do, get ready for work, maybe do some grocery shopping since we haven't been home in 3 days.

yea i never hope we lose but there are sittuations im not upset. especially late late games.now if its a consolation game...we just forfeit those if they are late and we have a drive. screw that.

at the risk of invoking the wrath of lsu777 and a sure invitation to Sonic, travel ball has ruined, or I should say adults behind the big business of travel ball, have pretty much ruined the sports experience for kids

i mean nothing to get mad about we just disagree, mainly on the cause or that LL is ruined.

i mean LC, Lafayette, the AP and east bank still have pretty big little leagues. its just for the most part the best players dont play in it or only play 12u year.

LL is perfectly fine for the kid that just wants to play with his friends and have fun. honestly half the kids playing AA travel ball should just be playing LL.

but i know you dont like the tournament ball trend and i get it. but overall youth participation in baseball is highest since 2008.
