True, but other countries put their ads on the players instead. You basically spend 3 hours watching players running around as an advertisement.

Being able to see 6 hours into the future. Even ignoring the obvious of knowing the lottery numbers before they're announced, I could make so much money sports betting. Imagine one of those underdog games where everyone expects the team to lose, and you bet everything on them because only you know they're definitely going to win.

This depends on how close in proximity people/animals need to be to you. Like is being in the same house good enough or do they always need to be in the same room as you. If the former, you could easily hire live-in butlers/maids and a chauffeur to drive you everywhere with that kind of money.

My back is good. I used to get lower back pain when I was in my early 20s, but it turns out the reason was because of the mattress I was using back then. Haven't had any back issues since though.

This is a hard no for me. Not that there's anything wrong with Seinfeld, but I spend pretty much every day of the year watching sports on TV. I could live for 7 years without other shows/movies, but not sports.

I could probably walk away with about $30,000. If I'm lucky enough to get a good pitch to hit, I might be able to pull off $1,020,000. I think I could definitely get 3 balls in play depending on who the pitcher is. If it's someone like Kershaw or Verlander, I'm probably going 0 for 10. I think I would probably do better against a pitcher that only throws different variations of fastballs (cutters, 2-seam, 4-seam, sinker etc). When I played college baseball, I always struggled with off-speed pitches.

It can be an expensive trip if you're coming from somewhere else, but we used to do the annual premium passes for about $700 a person about 10 years ago for Disneyland/California Adventure. I used to live about 30 minutes from Disneyland, so we would go 2-3 times a week. Some days we would go after work just to have drinks at California Adventure.

When I got hit with a golf club, it was on orbital bone. The club barely missed squaring me up on the eye directly. The kid hit me with a full on golf swing. I wasn't standing far enough back and he got me with a backswing.

I had to get 8 or 9 stitches and they had to shoot numbing agents into me basically right beside my eye. It was a horrifying feeling see the needle approach. I was a teenager but the nurse and my mother had to hold me still.
Yeah, you never want to see a needle coming directly at your eye. From all the blood loss I had, they said I had turned as pale as a ghost, when my normal skin color is brown. I got extremely lucky that the blade completely missed my eye and only cut the inside of my top eyelid toward my nose.

When I got my eyelid cut by a knife back in high school, they had to give me a shot near the corner of my eye to stitch it up. It was a sharp stinging sensation but overall it wasn't too bad. The blood in my eye stung more than the shot though.

If you're looking to date someone with similar interests, your best bet might be to try meetup, Facebook or Reddit to find local groups of people who are into video games/anime etc. although a lot of those groups tend to be mostly male.

It could be less or more. Depends on how big your place is, and the type of cleaning services available near you. The less time it takes a service to clean the cheaper it will be. It usually takes them about 3 hours to clean my house.

I turned one bedroom into a home gym, the other two bedrooms are guest rooms. I have friends crash there when they're too drunk to drive home, or let family stay in those rooms when they come to town instead of spending money on a hotel.

I pay $75 a week for a 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom 2200 sq ft house. It's worth it to me because I don't feel like spending hours cleaning the house every week. Plus, it helps out someone else earn a living while saving me the hassle of doing it myself.
