KCSLC2008 605 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I haven’t been able to be on here very often this year or last year but I’m hoping that things will free up pretty soon. Being responsible sucks, as I want to do more than watch DVR’d games. By the time I log on to read the comments, it’s all been said or an old topic. All free time goes to the kids, which is great. I used to be the internetting dad at the playground, but they’re growing up so quickly. Thanks to everyone for keeping it going. Thanks, Boss! Go Chiefs!

Just got to turn the kids into Chiefs' fans and share time rooting for them. Some of my best times have included going into Arrowhead with my son and watching him really get into it.

I laugh at people who say they're poor when they buy $5-$7 cups of coffee daily and buy new iPhones every year then go home to there smart home with all the bells and whistles. This is similar to those who say they have no free time yet they have time to watch 3-9 hours of football on Sunday and if they follow college football then the same on Saturday, work on their hobbies on their off time etc. People can always make time for family and loved ones.

I feel compelled to answer every damned response to one of my posts. It just takes so much attention, and my wife gets angry when I am posting, because I don't hear or listen to what she is saying. So, it really gets bad in family relationships. When I took that year sabbatical and came back with a different screen name (I didn't know I could get my old one back at the time), I started slowly and still ended up in the same place...ignoring important things and defending my own stupid prior posts and ego. The political stuff in the LR is so enticing and addictive, but it is really a complete waste of time. Everyone will defend to the death their own opinion. Nobody changes or really opens to opposite opinions. It doesn't change any minds. People just get more aggravated and more abusive in an endless cycle. It is like out in real life, I have many friends I enjoy but have learned to avoid politics, because it always just drives wedges between people instead of builds relationships. Addiction is addiction. It makes no difference whether it is alcohol, other drugs, gambling, sex, food, or political obsessions and internet forums. They all end up narrowing our world and relationships and inflating ourselves and our own opinions of ourselves. KCSLC2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all end up narrowing our world and relationships and inflating ourselves and our own opinions of ourselves. Try being with your family for Thanksgiving dinner and see how well that goes. I don't go to every post anymore and I don't feel compelled to answer everytime somebody wants to take issue with me. I can almost tell in the locker room what the thread is going to say without having to open it. It used to be funnier than it is now but I suppose the environment was not as tribal. I believe that the technology has made us more guarded of our opinions and not open minded. In the old days the way you argued was face to face and when you are talking to somebody across from me, it was more courteous and at least in my case I was willing to listen to what others say. The only other ways were telephone which still required you to listen and letter writing which meant some perspective had to be initiated and a cooling off period after a good nights sleep. Now we can instantly communicate our displeasure or are argumentative point instantaneously and get a response back just as quickly. Sometimes we don't say what we want or what we mean or we miscalculate the emotional response. But this is still home. I have stayed away in the summer of 12 and 16 because I didn't want to nosedive into the electoral politics. But it is an addiction. Like my coach used to say, "Wilkie is always going to be an asshole. But he is MY asshole" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey its those people paying $7.00 for a cup of coffee that has led to my 16 year old daughter making $12.00 per hour on her first job ever. On point I'll take my laptop when I'm working from home and just go hang out up there watching her do her thing. Great to see a kid learn appreciation for money. Also a perfect time to post. And on point several Chiefs players regularly roll through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
