I did a little work venting to someone who is nice here. They were completely understanding. They are being pulled in a million directions doing stuff that is in no way their job, so they get it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I have a dear friend that is a Dr. and all this living will stuff has made me think about including him in knowing my wishes. Especially since my PCP is ever changing.

banning of the " good game" hand shake
which I thought was sorta dumb when I was a kid , but banning it because kids have behaved badly durring that part. - shouldn't that get you taken out of the next game?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, that's pretty much the opposite of the way that situation should be handled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sportsmanship = too hard.

consequences for bad behavior/wrong choices seems to be almost non-existant anymore. If a few kids/people act out then let's just alter the entire expectations we have for them, let's just accept that they will behave badly.
Too true Jesse. things are way too hard and hard is bad.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
In local highschool hockey games (almost typed hickey games), sometimes the games are played completely without audience. Like, nobody at all is allowed to watch except players, coaches, and refs. Because the fans beat each other up. Including the parents.
Actually, hockey may be the one sport where behavior-policing is really taken seriously around here, because hockey is the only sport I know of where people have died by violence in the playing of it. (A ref, a parent -- not any kids yet.)

Unreal. This past basketball season for the boys one of the games the losing team refused to shake hands with the other team. I was outraged that the coach let them get away with that bullshit. If my boys aren't good sports they will not be playing sports. Period.
