This should be changed to the "KronoRed thread while everyone else watches" :mhcky21:
And I for one, would like to also lament that this thread has yet to revert to it's roots, namely, Haikus.
Make yourself comfy
Hi Welcome to Krono's thread
Someday it will stop
And we'll continue on the talking to myself thread.
I'm grilling out tonight.
It's a balmy 98 degrees right now, and I'm itching to fire up the grill and eat so I can go hit golf balls when the sun goes down.
Have some lemon pepper chicken on the brain. Think that will be jmcclain19's winner this evening.
Haikus? In this thread?
A wonderful idea.
I think I'll try it.
That sounds like a good dinner... This is what I ate today- Cocoa Pebbles for breakfast, plain bagel with hummus for lunch, and a salad for dinner. I'm craving some meat right now!! :lol:
But its dry heat right. ;)Quote:

That was me earlier today. My youngest of three boxers today decided it would be very fun indeed to push open a closet and get into my backpacking stuff, and tore apart my backpacking pillow and ripped a hole in my sleeping bag. My older two apparently thought it was funny and must have cheered her on.
I went outside and she knew I was angry, and she gave me this face, and I just became a big wimp.
I'm a big wuss.
Sounds like a nice balanced meal. :DQuote:

I still go w/ Rice Krispies and sliced Bananas from time to time as well.

I remember the cheesy Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials when I was younger. Right up there with Count Chocula and Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop.Quote:

And what distances do you hit your clubs?
The reason I'm probably much better with the driver than the irons is I go to the driving range much more than I go golfing. I just love the sound it makes when you hit a perfect shot with the driver.
I'm a Ping guy, I have a friend who's been working for Calloway for 2 years now who's been trying to get me set up w/ a setup of Calloway's but I've been stubborn.Quote:

As far as distance, I can hit my 6I 150 yards and slotted every ten on down to the wedges. Any lower numbered clubs and it's litearlly hit or miss.
How about you fellas?
In the bag I got Clevelend woods and Taylor Made irons (if that's what you're asking :lol: )Quote:

Four signs she's high maintenence
Quote:
Most men have been there. Many won’t admit they’ve been there: involved with a high-maintenance date or girlfriend. You can run from a high-maintenance woman and you can hide, but your best chance of going unharmed is to avoid her all together.
“Once I get a whiff of one, I steer clear,” says Brian, 40, an advertising manager in Omaha. Ross, 43, a consultant in San Francisco, found that he hasn’t attracted one in recent years. “I really don't date high-maintenance chicks as a rule.”
To avoid them, you’ve got to know how to spot them. Consider these tips on spotting the classic high-maintenance woman:
High H.B.A. factor. Rookie observers, remember the H.B.A. acronym (which stands for “Health, Beauty & Accessories”). As in, obsessed with H.B.A. Scan the latest trendy store, restaurant or bar and you’ll spot high-maintenance women easily in their natural habitat. Ground zero for the high-maintenance species are beauty salons, malls and occasionally, the health club. (Yes, female gym rats can be high maintenance, although scientists say it’s a rare occurrence.) Is she dressed to the nines at the grocery store? Is she sporting full-tilt makeup and big hair at the health club when other women are in sweats and no makeup? Look closer and you’ll find what constitutes high-maintenance is as varied as her patchwork quilt or designer bag, her intricately painted toenails or her voracious appetite for beauty treatments.
Emotional insecurity. High maintenance women can be as insecure as a lost toddler. They can freak out if you even so much as give an extended glance at another woman, among other indicators of emotional neediness. Her neediness often requires her to control and direct your behavior.
Controlling. Is she always instructing you to call her or sets rules around things? (Example: “Call me at work tomorrow at 2 p.m.”) Worse yet, she might express anger or manipulate you to get you to do what she wants. A range of ploys such as her demands to call frequently, fix-it items, and transportation needs (“Can you pick me up?”) are all ways to keep you on a short leash or otherwise attempt to control your behavior.
Communications. Guys, if she talks like this, run: “Like, oh my God, I was on the way to the mall and…” (At your own risk, remind her that “Valleyspeak” went out in the 1990s with Frank Zappa.) Pay attention to what she talks about for it’s the critical indicator of what might – or might not be – going on in her brain. Is it all about her, shopping and her friends? Chances are you have a high-maintenance girl on your hands. I say “girl” because rarely are mature women really that high maintenance. If they are, they may be limited to the divorcée set, who brandish fake dark tans, fake body parts, overprocessed hair and enough bling-bling to make you squint.
And, if you still have doubts, consider these stories:
Look in the mirror. Make absolutely certain that you’re not the one crying foul. Could you be high maintenance yourself? Consider the case of Michelle, now 42, who a decade ago broke up with a serious boyfriend, Jeremy. They had dated a year and a half and Michelle graciously declined his proposal for marriage and broke it off. “He accused me of being a materialistic you-know-what. Guess he was pretty raw, even after I told him not to buy an engagement ring.” Michelle was never high maintenance. She drives an older car that’s paid off, makes her own coffee every morning and has owned the same home for many years.
The picnic test. If you have doubts about her high-maintenance level, put it to the test. See how she handles an impromptu picnic. Suggest casual food from the deli, a cookout, or wine, bread and cheese. Then, gauge her reactions carefully. Dirk, a Minneapolis marketing manager, didn’t discover he was dating a high-maintenance woman until it was too late. When he was in his early thirties, he dated twentysomething Jodi for a couple of years. “On our way to a picnic, we had to stop so she could buy a new outfit, out of my pocket of course, because the one she took an hour to pick out on her own wasn’t good enough for the picnic.”
That was the first “picnic incident.” The second one was even sadder. The couple had spontaneously decided to go on a picnic, so they stopped by a deli at a grocery store near a nice lake area. “When the clerk weighed each of our salads, hers weighed more. She stormed out saying that I made her look like a pig because I wasn’t eating as much as she was. Kinda nuts, huh?”
I guess I'm alone on here again, but to me the only thing that tops a good day of golf is a good day of fishing. :RedinDC:
I just switched from Mizuno T-Zoid Pro irons to Hogan Edge Hybrids 3 through PW. I've got Cleveland RTG wedges.
Ping SI3 Driver with a Harrison Striper shaft. McHenry Metal 3 wood.
Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport putter.
I hit my 7 iron 152, PW 120, carry the driver 240 to 260 depending on conditions, 3 iron 195.
How do you like that Scotty Cameron Putter?
I've had the same Ping Pal4 for 10 years.
Been checking out the Odyssey Putters for a year now, debating.
You're better than me. :MandJ:Quote:

Okay, I'm going to try to catch up on this thread in one post <deep breath> ...
1. SB, glad classes went well. Sounds like an interesting variety, if nothing else! I sympathize with the foreign prof. situation, that can be tough. And sorry about your friend's friend, how awful. :(
2. Creek, glad your eyes are okay!
3. Krono's not here b/c he's asleep (I assume)
4. Even so: Krono, good luck with the temp people tomorrow!
5. Despite all my talk, I did not tease my brother about his braces. He's in some pain, and had trouble eating dinner, and I just didn't have it in me to make matters worse. Plus he starts school Wednesday, and I'm sure he feels self-conscious already.
6. My golf clubs: They're some cheap brand you can probably find at Wal-Mart or something. (Knight is the brand.) But I have a very pretty blue bag for them! :)
I'm probably forgetting something, but that's all I can remember!
Oh! One other thing!
When I came home tonight, with my arms full of leftovers, I came across THE biggest bug EVER in the hallway to my apartment. Of course, it was flying around right outside my door. I honestly don't know what kind of bug it is, but it is UGLY. Looks like something they'd make people eat on "Fear Factor."
Anyway, I was standing at the bottom of the stairs looking up, watching the bug fly around, figuring out how to get into my apartment minus the bug. As if on cue, my two (male) neighbors from upstairs came down, and one was attacked by the bug. They both were freaking out, then they came around the corner and saw me standing there. I was thinking "Please one of you, kill that thing!" And one of them said "Do you want us to kill that for you?" So I said "Yes, please, that would be so great." Well, one guy got a better look at the bug and said "No way am I killing that thing! What is that?! That thing is HUGE!!" We all agreed: It's one big bug.
But did the boys kill it? NO. They were too freaked out by it, so they just wished me luck getting into my apartment minus the bug. I then offered them beer to kill it, and they STILL wouldn't do it. I thought that would work for sure.
I did manage to get into my apartment okay, but it was freaky. And I'm a little disappointed in the boys upstairs.

Everybody struggles when they're learning. It's a hard sport to master. You can find out a lot about someone's personality watching them play golf. You'll definitely see how they handle adversity.
If you work hard enough to be a low handicapper, it's like physical chess, a beautiful blend of mind and body in a sport.
It's got tradition, history, strategy, tactics, and despite what most uninformed observers will tell you, it's a great physical and mental challenge when played on a high level.
You forgot my biggest peeve, the guys who play up your butt, always pressing you even though they could sit still for 5 and enjoy the scenary.Quote:

I was kidding about the walk part, that's a Twain quote, I live right by a public course, about 200 yards, maybe I'll take it up again someday. I played it quite a bit in my teens and early 20's.
My short game was dreadful.
