Posted by arren18 on 11.28.2023, 04:36 AM: That sounds very interesting! I guess I've heard of female sumo, but I can't say I know a lot about it. I think my impression was that it only exists at an amateur level - does that match what you saw?

Posted by husky51 on 11.28.2023, 12:38 PM: Yes, only amateur, from what I saw... There were a number of different women shown, but focused on two women, one heavy woman and one of normal staturewho were both striking for champion in their weight class, near as I could fighure. One made it and one took third place.

Posted by arren18 on 11.29.2023, 08:21 AM: That sounds about right from what I can remember. I think it's amateur sumo that has weight classes (I think they're aiming to get it into the Olympics one day?) while the older professional sport throws everyone in together. Certainly when I saw a sumo tournament, the wrestlers were all shapes and sizes - but most of the best ones were HUGE.

Posted by husky51 on 03.21.2024, 12:38 PM: WOW! It got past me this year, but it has been 16 years since I joined the Tavern!!! |
Posted by arren18 on 03.21.2024, 04:39 PM: Wow, that's wild! It makes me realise that I've been a Tavern member for most of my life, which is even weirder to think.

Posted by husky51 on 03.23.2024, 03:15 AM: My ex-wife passed away last night 3-22-24 @ 10:57pm with our 2 sons by her side... I last spoke with her a week ago and she was cheerful then after her initial diagnosis ... Then her systems started shutting down today. Our daughter had no time to get here from her home... |
Posted by arren18 on 03.23.2024, 05:33 AM: Very sorry to hear that I'm sure this must be a tough time for your family.

Posted by arren18 on 04.24.2024, 07:36 AM: Been having some trouble with my external hard drive (that I save all my stuff onto instead of taking up space on my laptop's more limited internal hard drive) and took it to a place yesterday, to find out the issue was MUCH worse than I thought. Much more expensive to fix too. I'd even been thinking about getting a better one and relegating the old one to be the backup, so I guess this is a lesson not to drag my feet on that kind of thing in future!

Posted by husky51 on 04.24.2024, 11:25 AM: When my old 7 laptop went belly up, I had to go tp the 10 that I had bought for just that purpose, but anguished over the loss of ALL the local historical that was on the 7...
