Shy people often take a while (or long time) to get comfortable with anyone and trying to force a conversation can just make things worse. Just hang out with or around him for a while, at most try to find some common interest with him and maybe mention a few things about that, it might draw him out a bit. If not, there's nothing to do but wait until he gets to know you. At least a common interest would give you a foothold, though, do try it anyway. You can spread out from there as he gets used to you.

Screw what the other guy's think. They can't make you play a sport you don't like. Dont listen to them. Saying basketball is a "boy's game" is sexist and not true. Women do play this sport, and not every single guy in the world play's basketball to not be gay. And dont let anyone tell you Badminton is a women's game, either, Cos its obviously not, if you and i are both males and we still play the game. Stick with badminton brother, awesome fun sport, increases your reflexes, hand-eye co-ordination, fore-arm strength and agility. Hope this helps =] I say..

If you're going to say that rules in a poem are not rules of that poem, and, more generally, that because they're also rules outside "poetry", that they're not rules also of poetry, then you must show how these are not "rules of that poem" and "rules of poetry".['Returning the ball inside the lines on the other side of the net' is a rule of tennis; it's also a rule of badminton.

You again claim (inclusively) that the lines in this poem are arbitrary, whimsical, capricious, or, now, irrelevant.

The tiny theatre, 250 seats, sold over 40,000 tickets before the run ended. He thought it would never end, he complained. My friend felt the 2010 version was over directed, meaning the performers had to work the circles and x's of that long performance space (once a badminton court) which detracted from the emotional impact of personal songs broken into snippets to reach all sections of the audience. He felt the show might have been better served at the underused 246 seatvStudio theatre just a few blocks away. We agreed Mr Carver was a unique interpreter of Brel's music though my friend was not as enthusiastic about the production. Timeless, he argued, maybe to someone, but it doesn't speak to me. As a child of his generation he so heavily influenced by '70s jazz-rock fusion he could not return to the simpler post war cabaretish vaudeville, simple rhymes and metres proposed by Brel, nor, could he understand anyone who admired Edith Piaf. As for those who compared Brel to the Beat inspired lyrics of Bob Dylan, that earned a snort of derision. I suggested he was a bit of a grouch trapped in a timewarp which I hope didn't hurt his feelings, but I guess each generation finds it's own music, even if retro. Likewise a child of the rock era, I suggested a compromise which we have now agreed upon: Jim Morrison is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, and we look forward to a season of The Doors tunes imaginatively staged.

Yes, well, maybe not an exercise program but some other activity maybe. Anyway, that's just me. I don't only think about death and aging, but also about possible health problems as I'm sort of a hypocondriac. Maybe I should play some badminton games at MSAC on some weekends. Hahah.

If I could toughen up my thumbs, wrist area, whatever that is called, I'd be an even bigger fan of volley ball. shame I didn't know you back in the day, you could have sampled our tightly mowed badminton court and designer equipment. It would have been so on. I enjoy volleyball a good bit. i recall our epic 2 on 2 battles at SJB, but I also remember the tatters my hands were left in.

It was sunny and warm here and we spent the afternoon outside as a family enjoying the beautiful day. My husband had set up the badminton set yesterday and today a croquet course was set up as well. Lots of fun!! I do love to meander through lovely spots like this farm. Lavender is one of my favorites. It will probably be beautiful next month when they have their festival. How fun to have a collection of Longaberger Baskets. They are lovely. I don't have any of those ~ I saw a small one at the thrift store a while back that I thought about buying but I didn't! I would love to hear about the ways that you use them! Happy Father's Day to your husband too! Blessings to you, Sharon Dear Teri,
