I have a good friend that did this. He was a dad to his stepdaughter since she was little. However her POS biological dad would not allow an adoption even though he really wanted nothing to do with her.

On her 18th birthday she asked my friend to adopt her which he joyfully agreed to do. Bio dad couldn’t say anything because she was an adult.

Dad and daughter have a tremendous relationship.

First cousin means you share one set of grandparents. One of your parents is brother or sister to one of your first cousins parents. Second cousins share one set of great grandparents.

The “once removed “ stuff looks at generations. If your first cousin has a child they are your “first cousin once removed “. They aren’t your first cousin because the connection between you is that your grandparents are their great grandparents. But they aren’t your second cousin either because you don’t share great grandparents. They would be second cousins with your kids, but not you. Since they are a generation younger than your first cousins they are called first cousins once removed.

To answer your question, your first cousin twice removed would describe the relationship between you and your first cousin’s grandchild. That would not only be very creepy but I would guess illegal in most instances.

I don’t think that was the play where, but there was one where the Clemson defender speared the receiver and ended up going down immediately. He was down for a while and they came out and helped him off the field. He looked concussed.

I thought that spearing was now called targeting no matter where you hit the other player or if he was defenseless or not. The idea is to protect the defensive player from his own mistakes. All of those should at least be a personal foul.

There are some specific statutes in Louisiana which may limit the liability of the owners because it is a recreational area open to the public.

I don’t think this was that uncommon back in the day. From what I was told, many schools on the schedule had small stadiums and didn’t draw large numbers of fans, even for larger schools. They made more $ from the visitors cut for a game at LSU than they made hosting the games so they agreed to play at LSU .

IIRC there was a similar arrangement with FSU during the late 70’s - early 80’s

I remember the time when DTL was terrorizing BR very well. I was working out of town and my wife and kids were scared to be alone.

One of DTL's victims was the mother of a boy in my sons class and cub scout den. They were pretty close friends and it really shook up my kid, who was about 7-8 at the time. In fact, he refused to go to any sort of summer camp for a couple of years because the murder happened while his friend was away at camp.

I moved by Ego batteries indoors to keep them cool, but I still keep them on the charger most of the time. After reading this thread, am I correct in assuming that the fire hazard is caused by the internal short of the battery, so that it doesn't matter (as far as fire potential) whether the battery is stored inside in a temperature controlled environment or outside in the garage?

Obviously, the first thing I am going to do when I get home is remove the batteries from the chargers. If it makes no difference in the fire potential, I want to move them back into the garage as well so if there is a fire I might have a small chance to contain the fire.

I have a friend who had a pit for about 6 years without any signs of aggression or malice toward anyone. Last year, they were watching their grandson (I think he was about 3-4 years old). The kid and the dog were playing together but the dog suddenly turned and bit the little boy in the side of the face. No warning, no reason for the attack. Kid had to get his ear sewn back together and some stiches in the face. Luckily, he is fine and just has a small scar.

My friend DOA'd the dog as soon as they got back from ER.

Best AB I ever saw at any level was in HS in the divisional championship game. Late innings, 2 out, bases loaded. The batter (my teammate) fouled off pitch after pitch. Total of 28 pitches during the AB. Ended with the hitter going yard over the CF fence.

I thought the same thing. It was amazing to me that the umps let him get away with all of that motion while toeing the rubber with men on base.
