Let's All Have A Chat
the country is split in two so you have east and west districts. we play in west district in division 3 as we got promoted having been second last year and 2 teams went up. am not sure how many go down think its either one or 2 depending on how many teams are in division 4 which is the bottom division in our district. so as you go up through the divisions the teams should get tougher to play. we play outdoors as its a winter sport - we also train outdoors. we scots girls are made of tough stuff lol (hence why I have a cold lol)
Jeez, do you play in snow cover? So if you are a bottom team in div 4, your team could be disassembled? how are the tesms formed-- you just get a bunch together from anywhere or from a particular geographic area, or is there a draft of some sort. Is this pro/semipro or amateur?
no if there is snow or ice on the pitch the game will be cancelled and re-scheduled. if you are bottom of div 4 you just stay there we don't disassemble teams as we want to keep the leagues going. the teams are just local area teams that have applied for entry into the leagues. most are made up of a mix of ages from 14 up to whatever age you feel you can still keep up lol its purely amateur. people will generally play for the closest team to their geographical area

The high school teams for girls didn't start down south until after I graduated so I didn't get to do any of that stuff, which would have been awesome. No field hockey or any track apart from phys ed and I loved those things. So happy for girls/women today to have those opportunities.
we have quite a good mix of ages so its good that way. we have a couple of younger ones who come to training but they cant play in the league until they reach 14 I think it is due to insurance etc but at least they coming to training and hopefully they will stick with it
I completely agree with you on the breastfeeding debate Janet. I'm going to put myself out there and say that i actually get slightly uncomfortable and embarrassed when the 'breast are best' brigade come out with their bits literally hanging out in the middle of a shop, breastfeeding their child, with the sole reason of doing so because it's their right. Yes it is, but like you said, can't a little consideration be shown to others in a public space?
I breastfed my own twins, and yes sometimes they needed feeding when we were out and about, but I would sit privately in our car and do it, and not flop my bits out in the middle of Tescos. We all know its best for our babies t breastfeed, but we don't all need an eye full. Just my opinion, sorry if I've offended anyone.

Hello Kimberley.
Very quite last two days.
Two reasons, one my uncle and auntie are over to Jersey.
Second I had another Hypo attack yesterday, while out walking with my Auntie and uncle.
I think it could be the powerful steroids and antibiotics I am on for this virus.
Lucky we were going with my uncle and Auntie to their hotel for a THREE Course Meal !!
Took all evening to feel better.
Sean i hope you ll feel better, take care. Last year i almost passed out while jogging, i couldn t see and i breath, i had to lay down on the ground for several minutes.
That happens to me if I jog. It's old age and lack of fitness in my case, though. ;)
I have a huge cramp in my thumb today from holding up a nearly 700 page book until 4 in the morning.
Kath this happens when we push our limits, keep that in mind :)
Fine thanks, just ate lunch after workout, about to have a cup of tea :)

Aymen and Kath, I have had some of those scary jogging spells in the old days before I switched to other forms of exercise. A good possibility is not being hydrated enough. Try getting in a glass of water 30 minutes before you go out there. And as you guys probably know, caffeine will comtribute to dehydration. Dr. Chris

Sean, I am so sorry you comtinue to have the hypoglycemic spells. Steroids generally raise your glucose, but active infection will definitely screw up your numbers comsiderably. Be careful and quit scaring us, dear friend. You better be carrying something sweet on you at all times, and I know you know that. XO

Kiiiiiiiimberley!!!! It's been a while. So good to see you, girlfriend.
Thanks Chris, i ll keep that in mind, since this episode i have avoided Jogging, i walk and use a gym cycle. I ve been scaried of jogging, but i have no troubles to do push ups or pull ups and dips... I think it s time for me to do a bit of jogging again.

Cold enough for you Marian? Haven't checked the temp yet, but last night was -35 to -40. Don't plan to go out...just read.
Eeek! That's too cold. It was beautiful here in Kennewick yesterday. It was sunny and in the 60s!
Yep..its -36 here at the moment Sue..good day to stay in isn't it.Are your dogs liking this weather?
Yeah, I know. My brother and his pregnant wife live in Boston and they've been hit day after day. We've only had one day of snow and that was in December!
Has anyone read the new SJ Watson that's new out? I was really looking forward to this but so far i haven't heard good things ...
I know. Even when we do get snow it never stays. We have these things called Chinooks that rush through and blow it all away.
Not that bad. Unless you're driving across the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington when they're blowing!
Nope! Every once in a while one might form but they never hit ground. It's usually out in the desert.
Here in Colorado we've been quite lucky this year. Had one small blizzard and a few snow dumps and flurries. the temps just a few degrees below. Our lowest temps reached -29 and that was in 1875!! Every few years we get a good blowing dry a$$ blizzard, snowed in, cars covered completely and everything shut down but that hasn't happened in a while, we're due for one. READ READ READ lol I feel for you guys!
I am not sure where everyone lives but if your in the cold and snowy part of the world please be safe, stay inside, and try and keep warm. Hopefully this cold will let up soon. I am looking forward to Spring!
Mod
ah Monday how I like to see the end of your sorry face :) however it wasn't too bad for a Monday hopefully I will sleep tonight though
Rainy days and Mondays get me down...
Janet, organizing will be a little bit fun, eh?

Excellent, Sharon! Could you explain a little more about the divisions? If your team is good, you get bumped up to a tougher division? What kind of league is this? Who do the teams represent? I take it you play indoors in the winter?
