Anyone for Oozeball?


We were driving in the Adirondacks we spotted this interesting sport. I thought at first that this was something that this town had put together for a fun weekend competition; but this is an actual sport called Oozeball. It's played around the states and mainly among college campuses. While this town put it together in 18" of muddy water, many campuses play in knee deep mud - it looked to me like the dirtier the better!

Family report...

I am tired! I'm not trying to complain but just saying that I am tired! One of my daughter's is going through some emotional struggles. She has been dealing with attachment issues and it's not always clear how I can help her and if she'll let me. I have been praying like there's no tomorrow and hoping that I can handle this correctly. It's tiring, but I will do what it takes to help her through her struggles. I know that if I keep a clear head and an open communication with Heavenly Father, he'll help me through each day!

Ever heard of Oozeball? Played it?

I have never heard of the game before but looks like a blast!!! That'd be a Great water party game. But the question would be where do you play it without destroying landscaping?
I am so sorry about your struggles. I so understand. I know it can be a long hard struggle, but things will work out...
I have something for you can you email me your address.

Oh Michelle, you sound so grounded, spiritually. I admire you so much that way. Give me some lessons, will-ya?

What attachment issues? Lay it all out for us; someone is sure to have gone through something similar & will be able to help you.
