    Loss of a friend to suicide

    I just learned today that one of my friends passed - and I learned she took her own life. I'm stunned and confused and trying to process - I know everyone says this when someone passes, but she was SO beautiful. And she was smart and successful and classy and really together. A happy and social...

    My sister in law is pregnant with my first and only nephew, Benjamin, and due in six weeks. She's been going into labor. They're holding her off with drugs until four weeks, then they're going to let him come out. My question to all the folks who have done pregnancy and delivery and such...do...

    Olympics 2016: Golf in Rio de Janeiro (images)

    So Rio has won the 2016 Olympics (the first Olympics to be held in South America), which as we know will be the first time golf will be an Olympic sport. (I understand Tiger will be 44, as a footnote.) Rio only has two quality golf courses. The famous Gavea Golf and Country Club and the...

    Awesome Quotes

    Fantastic? Funny? Just plain dumb? I'll start... World News Tonight, Charles Gibson: "The birth rate has dropped for the first time in a decade. No one knows why, but experts speculate people are simply having fewer babies."

    Did Modern Human cause Neanderthal's extinction?

    I'm gonna geek out a bit again, since I loved anthropology. Has anyone else seen this? The extinction part may be a leap, but of course, there is no consensus on cause of the Neanderthal's extinction. In other Anthro news, "space rocks" may have caused the extinction of the mammoths and...

    Reading: Books and Recommendations

    I know we have some big readers out there. :smile: I think it's time for a books and recommendations thread. I got talked into reading Dostoevsky. I've narrowed it down to maybe The Idiot and Crime and Punishment, but I am open to others. Suggestions?

    Your First Album

    We were talking about how many people's first albums were MJ, and I was thinking it would be fun for the forum since we have such a wide range of ages and interests. Whether a record, CD, cassette tape, 8-track, whatever: what was the first album you bought, honestly and truly yours, with your...

    Factor X: Competitiveness

    So Josh and I were watching a (fairly lame) show profiling student athletes yesterday. They did a segment on a young skater, and her mom or coach or someone said "she's a true competitor" and how she loves practicing her sport, always tries to improve, etc etc. A few people said that about her...

    Dear Golfsmith

    Hey! So guess what? Women golf too! Shocker, isn't it? Just thought I'd mention it, since you haven't seemed to notice. They're elusive...fleeting...you have to look fast or you won't catch them. They're as rare as cars on a freeway, fish in the ocean, or booze in a bar. I was looking...

    I'm thinking of trying two gloves

    I'm thinking of trying two gloves...are there any great reasons why I shouldn't? I get callouses right under where my fingers meet my hand on my right hand, particularly when it's hot and my hands are moist. It got so bad yesterday that I started shanking all my shots there at the end...
