Best slip on exhaust for zx6r

My dad and I got into a bit of a debate about the best place to aim when throwing to first base.
His argument:

• Almost all errors are on bounced throws
• Infielders should aim at the 1st basemans head rather than the chest so throws are higher

My argument:

• Most errors are bounced because infielders are taught to throw low so a first baseman has a chance to pick it out of the dirt
• continue to aim at the chest
• bouncing is preferred to high throws

I'll admit defeat if I'm wrong. I'd love any coaches to jump in and tell us what is being taught. Thanks for chiming in.

their 2006 release "somewhere along the highway" is so good and unique, a concept album that revolves around the motif of male loneliness and to achieve the sound the had on the album, the initial tracking took place over seven days in an octagonal wooden barn surrounded by what the band described as blair witch scenery close to the bands hometown of umea in northen sweden, they have a very dissonant and rough and heavy sound thats celestial and beatiful and droning at times, the drummer magnus lindberg said that the remote location, coupled with the sighting of "wicca witch women dancing in the woods" and the actual acoustics of the barn itself all contributed towards creating the perfect ambience to lay down the basic tracks which were done primarily live so this release in their discography has "a less polished sound" particularly compared to their prior release in 2004, which is also an amazing album that is an awesome listening experience, as well as their freshman and sophomore LPs. but nothing tops "vertikal" that album is on another level it was a huge stylistic change for them and definitely their best work its absolutely perfect all you have to do is hear the track "vicarious redemption" once and its like crack, that shit was literally out of this world hearing it for the first time, i dont know how known they would be to people of this sub, kind of a hidden gem, i just love to share stuff like this with people who will actually appreciate it because most my friends irl dont

Sorry I do not have any inside information.
It is just my own analysis but I really believe it is accurate.
Many people have speculated the real reason for feeds cut.

1. They hate their fans, they are angry with their fans, fans are too toxic. - JM tweeted this when he left. Taran really agree with this and said it in his podcast. As much as I love Taran and his podcast, I do not agree.
2. They have budget cuts
3. They want to hide the truth from their fans

While there may be some elements of truth in the above reasons which might cause the feeds cutting, I truly believe the #1 REAL reason for them to cut feeds is SO ALL of YOU (Canadians) will Watch the episode and the ratings will go UP ! I am not Canadian btw.
THAT is the MAIN reason (perhaps 90% why).
Tonight's episode convinced me of that.
In season past, there were many fans watching FEEDS and not watching actual episode so end up their ratings are low and the sponsor perhaps were NOT very happy.
I saw so many postings on social media that they already know what is happening and episodes are boring and they skipping episodes. Some might go around telling all the family and friends what is happening or spoil it on social media affecting others who originally wanted to watch the episode.
So this season they went ALL out to prevent you from knowing any actual information even on daily drops.
They NEED the higher ratings, they want to hide all the information and give it ALL to you in their episodes (together with all the sponsorship obviously).
Since Tuesday, everyone wanted to know what happen to Vanessa, why was Hope nominated and WHAT was the SCANDAL !
And NO one knows and finally tonight we get the whole story. You can only get it in the episode. In the past many of these will be leak and people already know.
And again unlike Taran I do believe what was showed on the episode is the truth (or at least very close to the truth).
This truth actually made production look very BAD and they did not hide it. Infact the season as a whole did not reflect well on them and I am not talking about cutting feeds.

1. Their casting is bad - 3 people already self evicted including zach. Has this ever happen before even in BBCAN or BBUS ?
2. Their security is bad - Obvious now the bag search was not enough or the letter would not have been inside
3. They are not fair - Well some fans think so. I do think this part they did try their best. They already had 2 self eviction so they decided NOT to evict hope and they gave everyone a letter from home.

So if they really wanted to protect themselves, they might have painted a different picture or told a different story which will NOT make them look so bad but they went ahead.
So why would you MADE yourself LOOK bad on your OWN TV show?
Only one reason as with ALL the TV production THESE days.
RATINGS and MONEY !
So that is my theory and I think it made perfect sense.
So for those Canadians who TRULY love the show no matter the ups and downs, WATCH the show live. Ask your friends and family to watch the show even if just to hate watch.
I really THINK they are DESPERATE for ratings !
Disclaimer: I know some of you will point out this is NOT the way to increase ratings BUT I believe Erin the producer and her team believe it will.

iPhones are one of the most popular smartphones on the market, but are they really worth the high price tag? While iPhones have a sleek design and are often associated with luxury and status, they may not be the best choice for those who prioritize functionality over appearances.
One of the biggest issues with iPhones is that they come with a premium price tag that doesn't always match their functionality. The latest iPhone models can cost over a thousand dollars, but the improvements they offer over older models may not be significant enough to justify the price. In contrast, there are many Android devices on the market that offer comparable features and performance at a lower price point.
Another issue is Siri, Apple's digital assistant. While Siri was once considered revolutionary, it has fallen behind other digital assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa in terms of functionality and accuracy. Siri can be slow to respond and often misunderstands commands, which can be frustrating for users who rely on it for everyday tasks.
That being said, iPhones can be great for those who value luxury and status. The sleek design and recognizable Apple logo can be a status symbol for some, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to show off a little. However, for those who prioritize functionality and usability, there may be better options available.
In conclusion, while iPhones may be good for show offs, they may not be the best choice for those who prioritize functionality and Siri is outdated. With many comparable options available at a lower price point, it's important to consider your priorities and needs when choosing a smartphone.

I think it would be the best if Lilith adds a signature item reset function even it costs 1000 diamonds to reset once. I am sure that many of you invested your emblems on wrong heroes right?
Feel free to leave any comments for this idea!! It would be appreciated if you can place an upvote and let Lilith to see this!!👍

Right now I'm kind of in a groove on dialysis. It's not like I'm healthy, but I'm surviving. My first transplant failed after 4 years and in those 4 years I was constantly facing rejection. Lots of different IVs and alternate meds trying to save it. Other doctors said it just wasn't a great match for the drugs to help. Beyond just losing it, I felt a LOT of guilt for doing so, even though it wasn't my fault. Still it was gone and that person tried to help me.
It's been a few years and I'm wondering if I should try again. I'm just not sure how much it will improve my life. The antirejection meds also cause me to have diabetes, which is obviously not much fun.
Has anyone else been through something like this? Did the second one have better luck? Also, I will admit I do like sitting through a long movie without peeing. Maybe the best benefit.

Hey all, hoping someone can help me figure this out, and whether or not I may have a case here (still, it's been 2 years). Long post incoming..... (I am in Vermont, USA)
So, here's some needed background to the story so I can set up the rest of it. I'm a 36 (was 34 at the time) y/o trans woman. I used to work at a Resort Hotel doing Security, in Vermont. My boss (Call him J for short) was pretty awesome, but had expressed some heavy right wing views, and openly proclaimed to be a heavy trump supporter and was also a marine. However, despite this he appeared open minded and trustworthy. His second in command (Call him K for short) is a retired police officedetective who has expressed multiple times that he does not like me and will not trust me because he views me as untrustworthy for reasons I never heard. During shift change, if I had a partner he wouldn't acknowledge my presence or start the information exchange until my partner arrived (if I was first), if my partner arrived first, I would walk in to him already briefing them or finishing up, and he would not even acknowledge that I had arrived. The rest of the crew was awesome and does not play in to this at all.
Ok, that's set. Here's what happened....
In November 2020 I had major life saving surgery, it kept me out of work until January 2021. I returned a bit earlier than I medically should have (and now physically suffer a because of it), and did everything I could within my ability to be of use to the team. Another member was going our for his own medically necessary surgery and e couldn't be down 2 people like that. So I came back. I mostly stayed in the office watching cameras, documenting lost and found, and other duties like that. I took my job seriously and did everything I could to be of use to them. My boss called me to complain once about some things and stated" we are doing everything we can to make reasonable accommodations for you, but this (I had to step away from the office for about an hour to deal with medically necessary stretching and cleaning) is getting to be too much". This was over phone call, so...yeah. Also to note, I am extremely physically weak during this whole period, my Dr.'s note of a 5lb limit is actually HIGHER than I am able to pick up at this point. Walking 20 yards exhausted me completely.
Fast forward a few weeks, and my doctor feels I am ready to be let off light duty and return to full physical abilities. I am not so sure, and I let him know this. This was the second half of February/early March 2021. I'm still hobbled quite a bit in my walking, and still can barely lift over 5lbs without getting tired and feeling strained. Still office bound at work, mostly focusing on re-writing our training manual and logging lost and found.
About 1 week after I am let off of light duty, a set of wireless headphones supposedly comes through but I do not see them. A housekeeping manager mentioned them during the shift change, but I forget (severe ADHD coupled with the exhaustion of healing aided in this forgetting) so I do not log that I had not seen them. IMMEDIATELY the next morning when K arrives, he sends me a message asking about them, via text, and I am a bit confused, but assure him I will locate them when I get in, as that is the majority of my duties. And I do find them. Well, my coworker (Call him A) finds them after assisting me to search the office behind desks that I can't move. He found them wedged between the wall and the managers desk. I am feeling very strange about this whole thing, as it feels very off. I speak with some non-security coworkers whom I know have my back and have witnessed K saying negative things regarding to a few other employees.
The next day I am pulled in to a meeting with the HR director and told I am being sent home pending an investigation in to what happened. I solidly explain I did not take them, and that I am physically incapable of moving a desk that size and weight. They do not listen. I recorded the whole thing. (This was, if I remember correctly a Thursday, Friday I do not work). Sunday rolls around and I am called back in and let go. I am fully anticipating this, bring all of my uniforms and do not sign any paperwork acknowledging anything. I just leave. Very hurt, and angry. I had not done anything wrong and was railroaded by K, whom I believe set it up to get me fired, but have no proof of.
Immediately I file unemployment and submit all of the documentation and do it correctly (or so I thought). I am granted it by the state, and receive it for 1 month before starting my new job. And they fight it. They had not responded to the initial fact finding by the state, so I was granted it automatically, but now they decide to fight. It takes a few months and then we are virtually seen by a Judge Advocate and, to no surprise, I win. Sadly, the recording of the interrogations was too big for them to receive (every time I tried to send it, including the first time during fact finding for the initial decisions, so it's not used as evidence) I am ruled in favor of, which was relieving but not surprising. And then they appeal AGAIN. A few months later, we meet virtually with the counsel of employment judges, no new evidence is allowed only testimony written before and then given during the hearing. The HR director had made a major errolie as to why the previous JA had ruled in my favor and in regards to some of the evidence I had presented. I point this out to them, and then simply state :I hold to all of my previous testimony and have nothing else to add).
Again, I am ruled in favor of, and have not heard anything (The next level of appeal would be at the VT supreme court...lol).
But I really feel I was wrongfully terminated and discriminated against, and am wondering if there is still a case here. I am hurt, even still, and have a harder time trusting people around me as a result (especially bosses). It feels like this has hindered my ability to fully commit to a workplace fully and I am always looking for reasons to leave or signs that I am not wanted.
Thoughts and advice are welcome... please?

So I am a nanny to what I thought was a wonderful NF, with 1 child at the age of about 8 months, and I have been with them for 6 months so far. About a week ago I was upstairs in the babies play room and decided to go downstairs to prepare his bottle, when going down the stairs (in house Slippers with slip guards) I slipped and fell with the baby in my arms down a whole flight of stairs. During the fall, my mommy instincts kicked in, and I cacooned the baby, and he made it out of the incident with literally 0 injuries (go me!) I on the other hand broke 3 bones (one of them being my foot). I feel like crap obviously and I was crying, just worried about him!
The parents didn't fire me surprisingly, but I don't feel like I am being treated right. So far, I have had 1 week off of work (unpaid) to recover, I can't afford anymore. I am paid under the table with no benefits, no PTO, no vacations, and only 4 sick days per year. I also received a text from my boss asking if they could reduce my pay by $5/hr for the time being due to me not being able to perform my normal duties. They have not offered to help pay my medical bills or offered to give me PTO, which I honestly didn''t expect.
I understand I put their baby in danger, but it was an accident.... am I wrong? Should I take legal steps? What should I do???

I will try to keep this as short as possible but with enough detail as I am really trying to find the best way to handle this without ruining our friendship. (Hoping there is still a way)
We have known each other since we were 13-14 years old and have been close pretty much since then. Definitely have been through a lot together and can honestly say I love him as if he were my own brother. (Neither of us have actual siblings btw)
Of course, we both have dated other people throughout the years but have been fortunate to be able to stay close and just always be there for each other like family.
Just to get it out of the way since I’m sure someone will ask, yes, he has made a move on me once or twice in the past but to my knowledge it was innocent, playful and not serious at all. At least that’s what he’d tell me.
Fast forward to about a month ago, His year-long relationship came to an end and not only that but lost his job as well.
Safe to say he was a complete mess. I decided to take him to a show with me and grab some drinks to get him to feel better which I think worked but also let things go too far on my end.
We went back to his place, drank a little more and danced in the living room which was fun as well. The dancing got more personal and he went in for a kiss, silly me I went along with it and it progressed to us having sex. It was a mix of everything which lead me to allow this to happen but believe it or not I let it happen mainly to help him get over this hurdle/negative state.
Which literally put me in a bad predicament. During sex, he kept saying “I love you” and not just that but followed it with my name. Said it several times. I was in shock so I didn’t do or say anything about it. The following morning, he calls me “babe” “sweet cheeks” and “my Queen” and decided to give it another go. Which I allowed again. I am dumb, yes I realize that but to me it felt like the right thing to do. I never returned the “I love you” or called him any sweet names.
I don’t feel anything for him not even after the sex. I don’t see him like that at all and don’t think I ever will. We have been talking back and forth like we usually do but I am so lost and confused about this. I am hurting him more by letting time pass without me really telling him how I feel but I don’t know how to stop it. Don’t want to lose his friendship but also don’t want to keep going. I don’t wanna hurt him.
Any advise? Has anyone been through a similar situation? How do I safely move past this? I can provide more details if needed. Currently on my 15 min break as I write this.

I rarely post, but wanted to provide my timeline with getting my passport. Reading posts from other people documenting their timeline was such a huge help with calming my nerves and gave me an idea of what to expect while I was waiting for updates on mine! I'm flying from the U.S. to The Netherlands to visit my sister who lives there. My departure date is 4/29. I had a passport a handful of years ago, but it was mistakenly thrown out in the stress of a move/home renovation (expensive and stupid mistake obviously, don't be like me). 3/9: I went in person to my local post office in Cleveland, OH, with the form reporting my old passport as lost, as well as the form applying for a new one. Paid to expedite, and indicated my travel date of 4/29 as well. Processing for expedited services was 5-7 weeks at the time. 3/13: my application was received at locator 35 (Charleston, SC, and I believe Locator 34 is also Charleston), marked as "in process". I don't know if it was marked as "in process" the same day that it was received though, because the first time I checked the status was on maybe 3/18 or so. 3/30: marked as "approved"! Says my passport is being printed and shipped, and I should receive it "on or around 04/05/2023". So just a matter of waiting to physically receive it! I feel like I got lucky and everything moved along in a timely matter with processing, so fingers crossed that shipping goes smoothly as well.
It's worth noting that even though I did enter my email on passportstatus.state.gov to receive email updates, I never received any emails at any point in the process, I only knew about any changes to my status by going on the site and checking myself. Best of luck and safe travels to everyone!

Greetings fellow travelers.
I am planning a trip for, quite literally, "The Oceania" that is going to last a month around late December into January.
I'm in the pre-planning stage and am looking for the best bang for my buck regarding points.
Currently have 300k chase UR points and the chase sapphire reserve. Im currently in the process of applying for a couple other "fancy" chase cards, but not sure which ones would be best for "oceania" and also Asia later in 2024. I'm an IHG Diamond Elite member as well.
Anywho, I will be in New Zealand for a week, Tasmania for a couple days, New Guinea for a couple days and Australia for probably 7-10 days . . . Possibly longer. Will probably hit multiple locations in Australia.
I've looked at resorts and it seems none of them are tied to any chains (depressing) some of them looked absofuckinglutely amazing but I digress.
Is it financially more rewarding to use points on airlines, or the hotels due to the length of stay, and which chains/hotels would be best for this?
I'm not savvy to Australia and don't want to waste a 5/24 on 175k bonus point ihg card if itll do nothing for Asia or Australia. So for anyone with experience, I guess how would you use your points for this trip and what cards would you try to reap bonuses from prior to the trip?
I can acquire two cards and have a 780 credit score.
Thanks for anyone that decides to help me out :)

Nearby when the shots were fired; Jimbo Jones, Marge Simpson, Maggie Simpson, Santa's Little Helper Simpson.
​
Suspects; Abe Simpson, Bart Simpson, Homer Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Seymour Skinner, Wallen Smithers
​
People We Can't Suspect; Agnes Skinner, Carl, Otto.
​
People in the crowd who witnessed Mr. Burns after he got shot; Apu, Barney Gumble, Bernice Hibbert, Chief Wiggum, Dr. Hibbert, Edna Krabappel, Groundskeeper Willie, Helen, Lovejoy, Jimbo Jones, Krusty The Clown, Maggie Simpson, Marge Simpson, Ned Flanders, Otto, Moe Szyslak, Patty Bouvier, Richard Texan, Selma Bouvier.
​
Added Krusty The Clown despite him being away, getting laid perhaps. 2:42 He just came back to Springfield after 6 long weeks and yet he's shown here in the crowd.
​
If Maggie shot Mr. Burns then why didn't Santa Little Helper attack when he had the chance? 3:36 He was ready to fight him 1:28
​
Mr. Burns shadow wasn't looking down. The thought of Homer owning a gun is stupid and he was clearly scared of seeing one in season 2. Even if he had, it's most likely a shot gun but whos to say he didn't have different kinds?
​
Willing to bet after Homer shot Mr. Burns, he ran home thinking about his life. 0:22 Reason why this scene got shown? 0:39
​
Mr. Burns constantly forgets who Homer is. Maybe it's why he made a annoyed grunt 1:34. Maybe he wanted to get caught but that forgetfulness made him more angry. Why would Homer be angry at Mr. Burns if he constantly forget who he is? 2:28 Also, Homer added "before", but why? It doesn't make sense. Doesn't want to get arrested for attempted/premeditated murder and the actual murder? And yes, Mr. Burns forgets who Homer is. Most of his first encounters with Homer. He was quick to want to shoot Mr. Burns. Yes, I know Homer is prone to anger but he wouldn't just attack unless he's provoked. As seen with Barts pranks, his other neighbor, etc.
​
Who's to say Little Lisa Simpson wasn't in on the murder too? 2:19 Look at her hand gesture and face, scared face and somewhat I have to convince them my dad isn't the suspect. Lisa could have a motive on why she wants Mr. Burns dead as well. This clip signifies who she really is, she's a vegan who'll stop people from having a good time at a BBBQ, someone who has morals but wants to be right all the time. She would probably kill burns herself to stop the toxins from the Nuclear Power Plant and unethical stuff that Mr. Burns allows from happening.
​
Also M S could mean Homer as well. Have you ever noticed his hair spelling out M and his top hair spelling out C but if you flip one over and curved the lines a bit it then becomes an S.
​
​
BEFORE THE DEBUNKING HAPPENS HERE'S THE BEST EVIDENCE YOU'LL SEE. Despite Homer and Krusty looking the same, it's like 80%-95%. The voice and the lines underneath his eyes is what make Krusty a different character. Those lines aren't shown 1:41 and even when we had a Homer as Krusty episode 0:12. Clowns are always smiling and happy 0:49. You could say it's Sideshow Bob trying to frame Krusty again as seen here. We didn't see the length of his feet so we wouldn't know but what would Sideshow Bob gain from all of this? Plus, he should be in jail. It would be a dick move if Homer did that towards his son idol 3:25 but Homer has a family.
​
Last Words. Interesting that homer has the same gun here 0:31 like what Mr. Burns had to protect himself 1:34. Also Mr. Burns Shadow wasn't looking down. 0:49.

I'm pretty sure that my best chance for successfully learning is in a classroom with a teacher. I don't think I would be able to keep up with the pace of a bootcamp, and I don't think I can do this fully on my own. Not trying to be negative, just being honest with myself. This would mean getting student loans which sounds scary to me, but like I said it seems like my best chance. I'm not thrilled with the idea of having to pay for and take unrelated classes, but I guess that's just part of it.
I've been poking around doing self-learning for a few months and I'm starting to understand the basic concepts, but I think I need a proper education. So what do you think? Good idea? Bad idea?

First, thanks to all who have provided advice here. This has been the best source of good user advice.
Here’s my situation: I’ve recently downgraded from GF 2.0 to 1.0. We have a large home - three stories, ~5,000 sf, with lots and lots of devices (I think we had too many kids 😄). I want to create a bridge and incorporate the Google pucks I have from my time with Google WiFi (pre fiber).
Equipment - Google Fiber Wi-Fi 6 router - Google Fiber mesh extender - Three Google WiFi pucks - NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400 Dual Band Wireless and Ethernet Router (I just bought this)
I’m assuming the mesh extender will no longer be used - is this correct?
I am looking for a step-by-step on how to set things up. I found the Google page re: bridging, and have a basic understanding, but I want to make sure I’m not missing anything.
Thank you for any help!!

It was five days before class started and murderously hot. The kind of heat that left the air shimmering above every surface. The kind of hot that meant you had to peel your clothes off of yourself to get them away from your skin. Nevertheless, people had to move into the dorm, and there was nothing to it but to do it. The AC in the dorm was shoddy at best, and with all the traffic in and out the ground floor wasn't much cooler than outside. I'd prepared for this, and several days in advance had stocked all the fridges with bottled water and gatorade, and swapped out the butter pecan for otter pops and other water based frozen treats.
Usually when school was starting I was accustomed to parents of freshmen bringing in bags and boxes and both the new students and their parents hiding churning emotions behind a veneer of enthusiasm, intermingled with their upperclassmen with a wide variety of emotions. Of course there were the girls that didn't bring their parents, or brought only one, or couldn't wait for their parents to be gone to finally, for the first time, taste freedom.
This was not the case today, thanks to the heat. Instead of emotions or enthusiasm there was only dogged determination, dragging bags and boxes in sweat drenched arms. I helped everyone I could, when I wasn't fetching boxes I was handing out water and otter pops to everyone. I was determined to not have anyone pass out or get heat stroke. Of course everyone but the freshmen knew me, and every water or frozen treat I handed out was met with "thanks mom", "you're the best, mom", or even one instance of "you cool me right down, mommy." That last one felt really weird.
As by now five-ish years had passed since the prophecy, people weren't as aware of who I was and that was fine with me. Although it did mean that in a week or so someone would mention it and it would be the hot gossip of the dorm for an hour, a tradition I'd come to dread. In the meantime, my reputation as an RA was what I wanted known. Word was shared fairly quickly as the older girls made my staus known. To my chagrin, all of the freshmen started calling me mom. Sometimes in front of their actual mothers which also felt weird.
Finally the day was drawing to a close, there was still work to be done but there wasn't a Shannon to help, only a hot, sticky, smelly, exhausted, dehydrated Shannon who could barely muster the energy to take an occasional bite of sandwich. My clothes were drenched from my sweat, my hair was plastered to my scalp and neck, and my deodorant had been overwhelmed several hours before. Every bite and chug of gatorade (gotta get those electrolytes) I told myself to get up and take a shower. Every bite and chug I said I'd do it later. There was still a trickle of traffic, and every now and then I'd muster up the juice to say "cold waters in the fridge."
"Thanks for your help today, mom." I heard the slap of her hand falling on my shoulder, such was the state of my sweatiness. I looked up to see Sara, one of the new freshmen. "You really worked hard today. It means a lot. Can I get you anything? You look exhausted."
I looked at the sandwich. It was a Greek gyro, nearly finished but I was still hungry. "I could really go for a bahn mi." I said, struggling to form words.
"Oh, mom, that does sound good. Is there a good place nearby?" I gave her directions and began to pull out some cash but she stopped me. "This one's on me. Thanks mom!" Then, trying to be cute, she bent down and kissed me on the forehead then stood and sputter "ah gaw what no, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking and gah it's so salty." I chuckled and kinda zoned out for a moment before I heard her by the front door. "Oh thank you! Room 308. I'm going to grab a bahn mi for me and dorm mom. Want one?"
Someone put a box on the table in front of me and sat down beside me. "So you're 'dorm mom' now?" I looked up to see Ethan the heart throb from my sophomore year. He extended a hand. "I don't know if you remember but we met a few years ago, it's Shannon, right?"
I looked at him, with his brow dappled with handsome little beads of sweat, his shirt sleeves rolled up to reveal his forearms. I went to shake his hand, thought better of it, wiped my own palm on my pants which did little to dry them, then completed the handshake. I said "yeah you're Ethan Winters, age 27, sisters named Lyla and Sara, graduated with honors a with a degree in cellular biology with a minor in physics, you like brown beer and don't have any qualms about drinking bad tequila to save a drunk girl from giving herself alcohol poisoning, who dated a harpy for a number of years and who admitted to being scared to graduate as you didn't know what you'd do afterwards, however from what I see of you now with the $75 hair cut and designer watch I'd estimate you're doing pretty well for yourself and I shouldn't admit this but sometimes when I'm lonely I'll have day dreams where I think about being married to you and living in a house with a white picket fence and three dogs and I still think about you carrying me to the dorm that night and it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me and by the way the maple bar and Bavarian cream filled donuts you got me for the morning after were actually my favorites so that was a pretty good shot in the dark." Just kidding. I'm neither that articulate nor creepy. Instead I said "oh it's uh… Ethan right?"
"Oh you do remember!" He said, smiling.
"I was pretty drunk, but I believe a few days later I offered to take you to dinner for being such a gentleman, but I never got the chance. The offer still stands." I looked down at myself. "Maybe not tonight, though."
"Yeah, Sara is brining you food anyway. Another time though, I'd love to." He said.
At the words "I love" my heart went THUMP THUMP and I had to stop myself from drooling. "So, uh… what have you been up to since graduating?"
We talked for a while as the day cooled off and my sweat evaporated into a thin crust of salt crystals. Eventually Sara returned with not only a bahn mi, but a huge basket of really cripsy fries, slathered in salt. I could have kissed her. I ate myself into a near catatonic state and afterwards felt quite refreshed. While I was inhaling my food I occasionally stopped long enough to watch Ethan and Sara together. They were so comfortable with eachother. The little quips and inside jokes, the way he teased her with things that sounded at first derogatory but after an instant of consideration turned out to be compliments. I'd had a crush on him before, but watching him interact with his sister, I think that was when I first started to fall in love with Ethan.
WHAT? No, spoiler alert, forget that last sentence. Cover your ears and shout "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU."
The kindness, the consideration, the wit. I saw it in him. In that conversation I saw how it had helped to shape Sara into the young woman she was. I saw how she, in turn, had helped to shape him into the man he was today. In that conversation I saw the faintest outline of their relationship, and it was a relationship so beautiful it made me want to weep. Here were siblings who knew and loved each other as only siblings could.
Eventually evening turned into night and Ethan gathered himself to leave. I watched him go, and sat feeling sad for a moment before I realized that I didn't have to. In a snap decision I stood and ran after him, and caught him by the wrist. He turned and seemed surprised to see me. "I meant what I said about dinner. Please, let me take you out. My treat."
"Sure. Let me give you my number." He said with a smile.
I punched it into my phone and sent him a text so he'd have my number. "Hey it's Shannon. ❤️😉. Looking forward to dinner! 🍽" he smiled when he read it and immediately typed a reply "🍽? I was hoping for 🥩".
I chuckled and went to give him a hug but stopped myself. "Oh, sorry, I'm kind of gross right now." I said, stepping away, but was immediately caught off guard when he grabbed me in for a hug.
"That's because I know you'll take good care of Sara." He then held me at arms length, and looked into my eyes with a serious expression on his face, before cracking a wide smile. "Get some rest, Shannon. I hope I hear from you soon."
