i've taken my girls (ages 13 and 11 now) to Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, Union, USWNT, USMNT games without any issues...always avoided Eagles games...they are probably old enough now but i really have no desire to take them through the hell gauntlet that is an Eagles tailgate to get into the stadium

I've got a friend who grew up in Philly and is still a big sports fan of all their teams.  He remembers one football game where people were throwing ice balls onto the field, and another where the crowd booed Santa Claus.  Though to be fair, from what he said, apparently Santa was flipping off the crowd!!  Only in Philly?!?!

If it ain’t like 2011 then I don’t care. Never forget that lawn chair. 

Hahaha, I remember that whole meme with the lawn chair lying on the ground!

Wasn't there one in 2010 as well, like very early in the morning?  The 2011 quake was mid-day...I recall at work they sent people home so they could clear the building and make sure the structure was still OK.

Yeap. July 16, 2010 at 5:04am local time. It was a magnitude 3.6?... IIRC.

Got to meet the lovely@SnowenOutThere this morning at our CSL swim meet… he’s quite fast!

Probably the most exciting meet of the year... Won the last relay, which at the time we thought was good for a two point win. Cue a massive celebration.

Sadly, (not for Snowen) we ended up tying (after thinking we had won for 30 minutes, unfortunately) because they forgot to count one of our DQs and didn’t catch it until they verified the scores at the end. Heartbreaking, but still a great meet, though some of the kids are gonna be disappointed come Monday, lol.

That’s cool!

Our team lost today, but it was a really fun meet! Doesn’t help that we don’t have many 13-14 girls, so we lose a lot of points in those races.

Super proud that the older one came in 2nd in the 25m breaststroke in her first A meet swimming it. In fact, I’m proud that she even swam it at all!

We did a hell of a lot better than expected but my girls didn’t get the results they wanted. Relay did better but by then it wasn’t needed. 
 

3 lanes got triples for times which is rare

It’s time to ban these loud mufflers that people put on their cars and race them through side streets. It’s like WTF are you doing with your tiny Corolla or Civic having huge exhaust pipes. They are so obnoxious and seem to be getting worse and worse especially with the side street racing.

Happy birthday!!! :hug:
