  1. Much like 25 plus years ago when CBS radio bought Westinghouse Broadcasting (radio) then managed somehow to merge with Mel Karmazin to form Infinity Broadcasting. (Now Audacy)
  2. 92 year old Willie Nelson and 76 years young Steve Perry...
  3. Not a fan of the fake folksy Senator, but I love this assessment

  5. Need to target the companies doing the hiring
  6. I don't want to hear a single word from a Trump supporter about cutting government waste. (Not that they post here anyway because they're too chicken to get into an actual discussion)

  8. “A dinner is ordered for the number, eight, and whatever is deficient of that number is to be paid for at two shillings and sixpence a head, and each that attends pays only the expense of the day.”
  9. Casey couldn't make the Mets a winner either Enjoy Richmond

  11. Been there, done that. My dad was in the lawn service business before it became profitable. I'd get drug out of bed every summer from the time I was 15, hated it Our house in Farmington Hills had a huge slope in the back yard. I was too cheap to opt for a riding mower then. Managed to keep everything decent though the next door neighbors were out every weekend manicuring their lawn. Sold the house in 2017, moved into an apartment for a while. Current home is a patio style town house with the HOA paying for lawn service. Don't miss it at all. We do have a nice little garden of potted plants on the patio. At nearly 73 with bad lungs just too old to play gardener anymore.
  12. The grifting never stops. Make sure he's taxed on this gift.
  13. But Skubal's move in the last inning he pitched along with Torres's adroitness to give him a breather after Skub mouthed " I'm tired" may have actually saved him the game,

  15. As do dogs and cats...I wouldn't want them to govern the country either
  16. When is a deal not a deal?
  17. I've had the opportunity to go to a couple of the Library of Congress Book Fairs since we've moved here. Very popular events. There have always been informative and some great author interviews. Lots of diversity. I understand this years event will be substantially reduced, thanks to cutbacks. She will be missed
  18. Hopefully the link works https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2025/05/08/why-i-chose-university-florida-santa-ono-opinion?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR4TAB-1AAF3P7lYHXW9qe2pNHwCSKWsp0SquJIRTR4oiRin7oA1iFpcIQHMjw_aem_bIZ76-0Ckx0aUADL3yXVLQ
  19. That's what I thought. My dad had a CPAP machine about 15 years ago. Noisy as hell...then. I'm not sure how they are now.
  20. It was one of my first failures as a father. When we moved to Chicago in the early 90s my wife's office had an outing to Old Comiskey Park. To my chagrin he became a Sox fan. Early in our relationship I told my wife, who had the more promising career opportunities, I'd follow her anywhere. As long as it was a National League city. (My Western Pennsylvania roots, plus nearby Salem Va hosted the Pirates Carolina League team at the time) When she called me one day to ask about possibly moving to Chicago my first thoughts were "UGH, Not the Cubs!"

  22. It makes sense. With COPD and other lung diseases like Pulmonary Fibrosis seemingly on the rise. It’s probably more convenient for some than going thru pharmacies and such
