Here we go again...

I'm from Philly, born and raised... I moved to Orlando, Florida almost a decade ago but one thing you should know about Philly folk is... You may leave the city but you never leave the teams. So we always follow the Flyers, The Phillies, and the Eagles... Which means a couple of things in the real world: Going to sporting events is difficult when you're watching what you eat, Mood changes in you household(My husband is Bipolar-Winning or Losing are the poles/extremes), and Never let them see you choke... I love sports live but on the TV, not so much. Our Flyers just came back to win their playoffs series when they were behind by 3 games to 0... best out of 7... They won 4 in a row and came back from being behind by 3 in the last game to win the series. What will happen in the next round... we don't know. I love my husband but whether the team wins or loses... we will survive it... We don't need to throw our world into a uproar if we lose. To be fair, as the season comes closer to it's end... that is when the stress gets higher. If the Phillies lose during regular season...OK... If the Phillies lose during the World Series... NOT OK. I guess it's nice to have so much passion, but refusing to shave or wear a different shirt because it will jynx the team... too far. My poor dog's Flyers shirt was taken off him immediately when the Flyers lost the 2nd game in this playoff series... and they still lost the 3rd after they were no longer jynxed by our sweet loveable pup... To sum it up for all you sleeping bloggies out there, The Flyers won their playoff series and are moving on to the next round so Cloud 9 marriage continues... So far no stress eating, depression eating, anger eating, emotional tremoil eating, why doesn't he shut the fuck up eating?...... GO FLYERS!!!!!!!

  2. Ok....my sister from a different/same mother. Another understood Philly sports follower ritual, always love your team when they're winning and loathe them when they're losing. G falls into the A-typical Philadlephia male split sperm sports fanatic. I can only imagine the noise in your house (I think I heard him from here) when they came from behind, (another typical Phily Male trait coming from behind)to swoop the series. Winning or losing we have to hear the pissing and whinning or hootin' and hollering. Either way, men are making to much noise. The old addadage should stand true for men.....
    MEN SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD....
    Just joking....
