![]() ![]() You’ll use your studs in most of the spots with only a few starting positions up for weekly scrutiny. In a typical season-long league, you might have a starting lineup of eight or nine players, yet from week to week your roster combinations don’t vary much. You’re free of the binding that accompanies injuries or the chafing of poor play and a thin bench. You aren’t bound by a roster of players you drafted in August that you no longer like. Heck, you can field 10 or 20 different lineups each week if you want to spend the dough. The best part about playing DFS is that it enables you to field a new lineup each week. ![]() (Narrator: for the full effect, continue to read whilst commando) LESS RESTRICTIVE Therefore, permit me to summarize what you’re missing by not playing DFS at a really cool website like - oh, I don’t know - for instance. Dare we say most seem to enjoy the new experience. Tens of thousands new players each year have gotten the itch and tried it out. In the spirit of going commando (stay with me here) might I suggest that the decision to try Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) in addition to your season-long fantasy leagues is something you might find liberating, perhaps exciting, and eventually even necessary? At some point, you’ve changed things up and gone with this less-restrictive approach - one that allows for more freedom of movement but one which doesn’t come without its own unique set of challenges. This is a safe space we’re not here to judge. Whether it was because the laundry wasn’t done or you woke up feeling a little freaky on a random Tuesday, going through the day sans underwear has been a thing. Thank you for choosing to journey with me: for whatever time we have together, whether you are reading just this entry or two, or whether you stay for a while, I hope my struggles, challenges, joys & triumphs will serve to encourage you.We’ve all done it. It occurred to me a few days ago that I would like to reach out to more people who might be challenged in similar ways as I, and if I can make a difference at all, I would like to do that hence, the start of purplepumpernickelblog. It was a bonus to realise that I knew many like-minded people, but just didn’t know it. I started posting some of my Instagram pics onto Facebook and was delighted to find that some of my friends were interested in the things I was doing. ![]() And in less than 5 months, I started to build community and experience change in my life: in how I eat, prepare food, look for the beauty in each day, exercise and live life. With this encouragement, I started to venture more boldly into posting and keeping in touch with some of those I followed. I started to follow some inspiring folks and hesitantly left comments. Older Daughter was very patient with my often inane questions. It was all a bit mystifying, figuring out how many posts were too many, how to like and follow others, what kind of “feel” I wanted my page to have: did I want a theme, or was that too contrived. The first few posts were a little challenging, trying to decide what I wanted to share with a community of strangers. I made up my mind to try to post once a day. She patiently took me through the setting up process, and remained my consultant as I hesitantly navigated my way through the platform. With my short attention span, she thought the platform might suit me as a viewer as well as a participant. I watched from the sidelines, suspicious about letting too many people, especially strangers, into my world.ġ8 weeks ago, Older Daughter introduced me to Instagram: she thought I might enjoy it as I loved looking at photographs. It was a bit of a mystery how they could stay updated on current events and use this as a platform to share their days’ goings-on, and news from around the world which they found significant. I marvelled at people, like Loving Husband, who used Facebook as a means of keeping in touch with his vast network of friends, colleagues, old students & very old friends. I didn’t even use Messenger very much till recently, when Loving Husband suggested that I install it on my iPad so that he & I could use it as a messaging platform to keep in touch through the day. Mostly, I used Facebook to peek into what friends were doing. And of course, I played games like Candy Crush. For a long time, I was a cautious, sometimes poster of holiday & special event photos. ![]()
