I genuinely appreciate you giving me the opportunity to have the floor.

In all honesty, friends, putting to words how much Gillette means to me is almost impossible and that is coming from someone who can rarely shut the fuck up.

My 4 year old son and my 2 year old daughter were both born with a rare neurological condition and have been patients of the Gillette team essentially since they were born. Without the care and passion of these people, I don’t know where our family would be. They have helped in getting my son to take his first steps. And begin to communicate verbally. They have taught my daughter how to eat, and are currently working with special technology to allow her to better communicate with all of us. These people and this organization are truly wonderful.

These people do truly amazing things. And I start to tear up when I think of the positive impact they have had on my children and so many others.

I am literally wrapping up my work day in one of their facilities right now while my 4yo Son is attending a co-treatment with two of their therapists. (He does better without his parents in the room, we’re a distraction.)

Thank you :blue_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart:

And this, everybody, is why we are all getting together. @Battisstatus is all too kind for all the shit that happens around here, so thanks to @AlCzervik not letting him go unnoticed, we donate and enjoy some time for Batty, his family, and the countless other families out there like his.

Also, can confirm. Unless you do something stupid on a golf course near him and he just looks at you.

@WillyK you’re in.

Paperwork submitted. The Lawsonia Pillowfight.

Who would like to join us in some truly mediocre golf, while marveling at the sound the ball makes off @lazyjk’s clubface? I suggested Friday Links but up for whatever. (I also haven’t been paying attention and don’t know when we play which course.)

@midwestgolfbum that form needs a title field for duels.

I think the Lawsonia Pillowfight is already trademarked by the “scratch off” (Ive retreated to a 1.7 now). :stuck_out_tongue:

Are we doing a mustache foursome?

Not weird at all.

When I posted this I was thinking if I have enough time to grow one. Only one way to find out.

Is anyone else up for a scratch-ish off? I assure you my current +1 should be about a 1-2 by the time this rolls around and trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen the inner psychosis of a man shooting 79 with 15 GIRs.

Clearly you never met @Sweet_Cupn_Cake before he found the claw

I’m on my way there as well… maybe it can be the half-scratch off
