My son's coach pitch coach has done a phenomenal job. He's very knowledgeable and has done an incredible job so I want to get him an end of season gift. I've narrowed it down to a laser engraved wooden bat that his name, the teams name, and team logo. I also have the option to have every kids name and number engraved on the bat, but I'm thinking of just having the kids write their name and number using a sharpie. To me, the sloppy kids handwriting will remind the coach of where his players were at in life when he coached them. Coaches...would it mean more to you if the kids wrote their names using a marker, or if the bat had their names neatly engraved, when you look at the bat years from now.

Brief background without getting too deep...one of my good friends from my USMC platoon circa 2011/12 has been going through a very rough time. He lives thousands of miles away but we still talked regularly on the phone. His life is in shambles, he got into some legal trouble, and was self medicating to cope. He got hooked on 7oh and couldn't stop despite trying and me doing the best I could to encourage him. He had court approaching (DUI related) and was convinced he was going to prison and told me he was going to khs instead of getting locked up. I kept trying to talk him down but he wouldn't listen and kept mentioning he was going to end it. I ended up calling the hotline on him after we hung up. He sent me a long text basically blowing up on me telling me to fuck off after he got off the phone with them, convinced that they were going to come retain him and put in a psych ward because of the phone call I made. I always assumed the hotline was just a friendly voice/therapist that would talk to you over the phone. I figured it was just the drugs talking when he blew up on me but it has me curious, do they retain people and get law enforcement involved? I didn't give the hotline a ton of info other than he's facing legal trouble for alcohol related charges and that I was worried about him. I didn't have anyone else to call and feel like I betrayed him because I know that's how he feels. It's been a couple months since we talked, I'm not sure if he's in jail or what's going on

I'm trying to find an easy to use iPhone app where I can remove part of one photo and then paste it on a different photo. I have a picture of some friends and I want to cut out their faces and then paste them on a different picture. I tried googling this and none of the suggested apps were very user friendly and way too complex for wanting to do this simple task. Anyone have any suggestions?
