		<description>Even worse is the feeling of regret, whether is conscious or subliminal.  If you quit due to fear, the pain will last for the rest of your life.  It&#039;s best to push and push until they physically remove your legs from your body.  Then you can at least say you gave it every ounce of your soul.  It&#039;s easier to live with that kind of failure than the &quot;quitting&quot; kind.

Hey, there&#039;s a name for a future post: The Quitting Kind.

Great job, Bees, as always (except for that one time when you did a horrible job, but that was a long, long time ago).</description>

		<description>Hi Meagen,
Thanks for visiting, and a special note of appreciation for sharing your positive experience hosting ballplayers! 

With all the focus on multi-million-dollar draft picks, it&#039;s easy to forget 99.9% of the low-level minor league ballplayers live on a shoestring budget. And are living away from home for the first time. . .BeesGal</description>

		<description>Hey Deborah,
Thanks so much for stopping by! I&#039;m glad too. Nothing like a little adrenaline rush now and then to remind me of the stud-girl I &lt;strong&gt;used to be&lt;/strong&gt;. This winter, I ran to catch the bus and pulled a muscle in my calf. I was limping for a week. Seriously!  :-P . . .AYT</description>
