I love finding the college gear!

Statistically the biggest increase in teen drug use is from 11th to 12th grade. Hopefully you make it. Despite what the press and pro pot advocates say, other than legitimate medical marijuana use, its a dangerous road for many and not, IMHO, worth the risk. Lots of experience here both personal, parental and professional.

So last summer I had to get a cyst/calcium buildup removed, a bursa sack had formed around it and everything and it was right against my spine on my lower back. The surgeon informed me that it was a relatively common spot for athletes due to contact and falls and the abuse on my tailbone after having played AAA level up to junior for pretty much the entirety of my minor hockey. Skip forward, and the cut from the procedure still hasn't closed properly, and every time I talk to a doctor they tell me its just draining and to wait it out. A month ago I talked to a specialist and after examining it, he believes that they didn't remove everything, so he told me to keep an eye on it. Low and behold about 5 days ago, something pops or rips and now I have a fresh open wound inches from where the last incision was made. Unbelievably frustrating to say the least. And living in a new city for grad school and not having a doctor here, emergency rooms and walk in clinics are my only option so for the most part I haven't been able to see anybody to get it looked at properly.

I loved playing on a team wearing Maine colors. Looks so sharp. I would have killed for these gloves at the time!

OK, OK, I can take a hint! I 'll stop using your stupid sauna.

So, a buddy sends me a msg today "Wanna go to the game?" I reply "Bulldogs?" He says yes. I go to the rink I play at, because I know they sell discount tickets. Turns out...they aren't tickets but vouchers that can be redeemed for tickets. Not a worry, they never sell out so there will be lots of great seats left. Text my buddy that I have the "tix" he asks 7 or 7:30 start. I look at their website...they play at 7:00 ON THE ROAD! I just assumed he already knew they were at home, so I never bothered to double check. Only 2 home games left this season and I know I can't go tomorrow. I've offered them up on facebook for $20 to try to recoup some of my stupidity. I may end up going alone Sunday just to salvage some of my ticket buying dignity. haha
