Somehow came down with salmonella. I’m pretty obsessive about cross contamination and keep everything clean including my hands. Couldn’t come up with anything iffy that I had eaten. Lots of toilet paper used.
And I would commend you for your efforts sir

re: Moving on from Just Directv

I switched from DTV satellite to DTV streaming 4 months ago. I was a satellite customer for 30 years. I have not had any Gemini issues so far.

DTV streaming is all Internet. It just has the stations numbered the same so it is very similar to the satellite service. When you turn it on, it goes to the Direct TV stream by default. There’s an APPS button on the remote that lets you access any apps you want to download.

You don’t need a Gemini to use the steam service. Direct TV has an app you can use on a Roku, Apple TV, smart tv, etc

I assumed that the outs mentioned were from the beginning of the play when the batter swung.

Had there been zero, or one out, then the send would have been bad. Being there were two outs, the send was perfectly fine.


By listing zero as the first number in the quoted sentence, the poster had to be assuming number of outs at the beginning of the play. But, you are correct. At the time of the tag/send, there were 2 outs.

quote:

Being there were two outs,


There was 1 out. If it was two outs, the pop up would have ended the inning with no throw home necessary. The send resulted in an inning ending double play.

Did not know this or about the charging station. Thanks guys.


FYI
Thermapen Ones in Green and Yellow are currently on sale for $74, all other colors are $115. My wife ordered me one as my original Thermapen died a couple of weeks ago.

Sounds like a Gemini for DTV Streaming Service. I switched from having DTV satellite, since 1995, to DTV Streaming in February. The ‘box’ for that is a small dongle thing and the remote is all gray with an ‘Apps’ button in the bottom right.

ETA: streaming DVR is cloud based. Streaming service has been great so far.

The guy in charge is from Amite and went to school there from the info they gave me.


The headmaster is from Amite, Drew Misita. The other guy being talked about is Phil Junkins. He is the head football coach and I believe Dean of Students. He is not the headmaster. Misita was the previous head coach and decided he couldn’t do both jobs and give 100% to each.

ETA: I was associated with OFA closely for several years. The headmaster/dean of students arrangement was current then. They also had an elementary principal. I think they may have changed to having a HS principal. So, the Junkins guy could be a principal. However, Misita is the guy in charge of the entire campus. Everyone answers to him. He answers to the board.

My wife is the same way. She’s a pro with meds and insurance. She’s also a decent driver when my knees have been pumped full of Euflexxa and are stiffer than normal.

I inherited a mid-60s Belgian Sweet 16 from my uncle. Lots of rabbits and squirrels were taken with it before it was passed down. It and ‘my first gun’, a Remington 1100 20ga Christmas present from my dad, are my favorite guns.

I gifted the 20ga to my son when he passed his hunter safety course. He’ll get the Sweet 16 when I pass.

We are about 2 months in on a Tempurpedic LuxeBreeze Hybrid medium. We bought an adjustable frame to go with it. We also added some Tempurpedic pillows.

It took me about a week to get used to it. My wife and I both think it’s one of the best purchases we’ve made in the last few years. I’m no longer waking up with lower back pain.

Can second Anna Maria. Go most years and will be there for 2 weeks in June-July.
Have had Directv satellite for 30 years. Switched to Directv streaming yesterday. The satellite service remains active for 14 days while I test out the streaming version. If I don’t like my new service, I can stop the migration process and go back to satellite.

So far, one thing I like about streaming is that you can reference live channels by their satellite number. SEC Network is 611 for streaming and satellite.
