All the hockey gear that can be washed is washed... Well until tonight
that
is....

Cheryl, when you say the hockey that can be washed, do you mean in the
machine? If yes, which pieces? I've been using Febreze and
handwashing, with less than stellar results, and it's a loooong
season!

Louisa

I wash her "cup", his shorts that hold up the socks, the wicking underwear,
the socks, skull caps and jerseys. Everything else just airs out well.

And still smells.

Cheryl

What are skull caps?

DD uses it to keep the sweat from dripping down and her hair from sliding
forward.

I and some friends use bicylcing headbands (very thin, also wicking stuff -
I have a couple of Pearl Izumi ones. Most of the old bald guys use the
skull caps!

It is all in what works.....

I forgot my camera yesterday (and today) to get a picture of the braid.


Forgot to tell you - overheard a parent go - who the h*** is that Isaak girl
and how come no one can get the puck from her.

Those are great! When did your son start training to be a goalie? Mine
is starting to express interest in that.

Louisa

He's been full time goal since age 10 - 11. He's now 16, he's 14 (I think)
in those pictures. He heads off to specialized goalie camps in the summer


C

Chiming in, DH started as a goalie at 13-14, but he's one of those clearly
athletically pretty gifted types. And had been playing catcher on the town
all-star team already, as well as defense on the town soccer team, and
football. Ah - hockey point - while he started late - he did play DI at
Cornell - which is kind of a miracle starting as late as he did - including
beating out the Canadian recruit to stay on the team his sophomore year.
And, could've done the "I play for hamburger money and ride the bus in the
minors" if he wanted to - but we all realize his parents would've killed him
with the Ivy League engineering degree. Nowadays, they start specializing
by about 10 or 12 if they're serious. Sometimes we'll see a really gifted
kid playing who had been a Lacroxxe goalie, or similar and made the switch
on ice a little later. And, of course, the kids tracking for college $,
etc - are also tracking as best as possible to the regional select teams,
etc.

It's never to late - the big thing for the better goalies isn't just size -
which can make up for some other limitations - but being able to work on the
flexibility and quickness. DH can still do a split - though now we hope
he'll get up - but when he was young he could do them the hard and easy way.
He thinks noweadays a lot of the kids/training is kind of lazy, they don't
learn to be as agile, get the view - instead relying on bigger pads,
dropping down so fast to butterfly that they then are always yelling at the
D instead. DH thinks it's his job to "be able to see" and direct some
traffic. He loves, loves, being a goalie, and it is a definite mind-set -
in terms of being under attack, and how you look at the game - and being
able not to lose it when you lose - cause everyone does sooner or later.

Goalies - definitely quirky.

Ellice



DS is amazingly flexible, especially if you count his height and weight. And
that "high level" camp he went to really help with the traffic reports.

Hey there--no one said this has to be a deserted island. Mine needs to be
off the coast of some magical place that has a nice stupidmarket where we
can buy groceries, coffee, wine and chocolate. We could get the Captain to
get the yacht ready for a short sail and pick up what we need on the
mainland. I'm sure I don't need to say that I expect there to be a really
well stocked, helpfully staffed, LNS in the region.

That is unless you're willing to work in the hot, buggy fields.



Yes, of course, let common sense prevail, I have no intention of
growing the grapes ! Maybe the LNS could be staffed by Chippendales?
I don't know, perhaps they would be better pouring the bar ?


That was my thought. No one said it had to be "just us girls". We can
certainly hire Chippendales and cabana boys to do the work while we sit
and stitch all day.

I don't drink coffee, so I have no interest in working on your coffee
plantation. Anyway, I'll be too busy whipping the cocoa bean pickers to
work faster! (Lest they be surrounded by 100 PMS-ing women who have no
chocolate, a fate worse than death.)

Amen to that. My 80-year-old "boyfriend" was younger than my
45-year-old husband.

Wait a darn minute...you have an 80 year old boyfriend?

Victoria



The husband was working nights. The 80 y/o was widowed, and since
neither of us had anyone else to go to concerts with, we went together,
so people teased him about being my "boyfriend", which tickled him no end.

He actually had many "girlfriends": he had one (me) in her 30s, one in
her 40s, one in her 50s, one in her 60s, one in her 70s, and one in her
80s. One for every purpose. The retired ones were his lunch dates, one
was his medieval stuff date, I was his classical music date.

Don't worry about the coffee; I found on-line an Anglican rosary dedicated
to Marco d"Aviano, patron saint of cappucino (it is very nice, has a charm
attached that looks like a bag of beans and one like a cup, and the beads
are brown and bean shaped). So I will just pray for coffee, and surely the
good Marco will provide.

Not so far. I think there should be, as Starbucks has miraculously brought
me back to life on many occasions. (Komodo Dragon variety especially) But
here is the rosary

Obviously you haven't read the recent research showing that women our
age with fibro are physically *less* able than 80-year-olds.

An 80 y/o boyfriend, I might have some hope of keeping up with.
