| Oct. 9, 2012 Parman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion At Shadow Rock in the 55+ Major Division, on the previous Sunday morning the games started 1 1/2 hrs late as no one from the Las Vegas County/City Parks Dept or whoever was responsible didn't show up and they were the only one(s) that had a key. The strike mats, defibs and tournament bracket posting and I dont know what else was stored in there. A delay like that should have never happened. |

| July 14, 2011 Parman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Blowing up the middle in Senior Softball - are screens next??? We sponsor ourselves and don't have a ton of money but I am going to try and convince everyone on the team to pitch in $5-10 each and buy Big ED a facemask and shin guards. There is no need to take a beating out there even if it is unintentional. GaryHeifner, your idea of an 11th fielder within 5 feet either side of 2nd base is excellent.I think that would put a stop to this in about 3 seconds. There would probably be a lot more double plays if we went to this too. Guys would "avoid" hitting it up the middle. |

I am going to try to convince our pitcher to at least get some shin guards. I know that would have helped quite a bit if he would have had some on when the rockets were coming right up the gut. I just have a problem when shot after shot keeps coming up the middle and guys are shifting their feet to do it. No need for it, period. |
| July 10, 2011 Parman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Blowing up the middle in Senior Softball - are screens next??? Is this really necesaary to blow up the middle?? Played another major team this weekend and at least 10 balls were hit right up the middle in the championship game. The last two, one hit our pitcher on the shin and the next one hit him on the ankle. After that I had enough and called this team out. They cried like a bunch of 2 year olds, thats softball, blah, blah, blah. One guy even said after they won the game and I quote "That's why we're here". I have no respect for a team like that and they showed they had no class at all. Yea, it's softball but don't tell me you can't control where you hit it. This team was purposely hitting shots right up the gut. I caught and I damn well knew what they were doing. Our team didn't hit any up the middle, nor did we even try to. Yea it's part of the game and yea our pitcher maybe should have worn equipment but I see very few pitchers that do in the tournaments we play. Everyone knows that Ultras, Combats, Reeboks are all hot bats but I just think teams can play the game without blowing up the middle. I have always agreed with Dirty that screens were an unnecessary evil but now I am close to reconsidering that maybe they are needed after all. |

| May 27, 2010 Parman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: CATARACT SURGERY I went thru it Feb on my right eye. It is definitely worth it. Took 6 minutes, they dope you up and I stayed awake thru the whole procedure and didn't even feel anything. Eyesight (at least in that eye) is great now. Insurance was 80-20 and cost me about $600 out-of-pocket. The whole procedure was about $3500-$4000. Recovery time was about 4 weeks. They give you 3 kinds of drops you put in 4 times a day to prevent infections etc. If my left eye deteriorates to where I need it, I will do it. |
