A Public Service Announcement

Cutesy t-shirts, yes, but the pink hats have been attributed by some to … the M’s.

Sigh. from the PI back in 2004:

“After joining the Mariners in 2000, director of merchandise Julie McGillivray wanted to offer a baseball hat in pink, which she thought would sell well among women. The manufacturers she approached, however, initially couldn’t produce that shade. “They were shocked,” said McGillivray, who used to be a buyer for Bon-Macy’s.

A pink hat debuted in 2001, followed by a tank top with pink straps and a T-shirt with the Mariners name in pink. Now such non-traditional colors are common; some items are even sold in competing team colors."

As are girls in jerseys. Really, just girls with a good knowledge of baseball. That’s flat-out sexy.

A standard period is a perfectly emphatic way to end a sentence.
A standard period is a perfectly emphatic way to end a sentence. Period.

There’s no added heft to that second sentence. Saying “period” at the end doesn’t really add any emphasis that using the punctuation mark alone doesn’t already apply.

which would just be confusing.

there is no “cure”. You will always be an addict. You have to manage each day one at a time. You cannot control the past or the future… you only have today… and today you must choose whether to use or not to use.

If you are asking what strategies can help you manage your addiction, that is another question entirely.
