  1. I really am interested to know more. I know it's none of my business and I'm not expecting to know. Just curious. It could be something that triggers him just enough to not perform at the level required. Distractions. Thoughts going on in his head. What used to be called The Yips. Steve Sax, Knoblauch, Ankiel...
  2. This guy is going to melt.... fast.
  3. They are mad at Target and I just saw something about Chik Fil A as well. I hope more and more companies do this so that eventually they are stuck making their own clothes and growing their own food.
  4. We had a guy who would love to send me notes on a potential problem and copy a bunch of people. Then I point out the error, which was his, and then he'd reply just to me saying he fixed it. I would say "Why didn't you reply all on that note?"
  5. Daisy Duke, Wonder Woman, Victoria Principal on Dallas... we had it good as young lads back in the day.
  6. Just looked it up..... he's a Scientologist. Forget what I said. He was into it. I didn't realize he Bill Cosby'd them. I use that term because I just got back from Aruba. In the swim up pool bar they had tables to put your drink on. A guy left his drink there, came back, and when he asked me if that was his, I confirmed, then he said "You didn't Bill Cosby it, did you?" And it's funnier when a black guy says it.
  7. I don't think people like that go out with the intention of raping women. They just happen to be with one, they want something, and they will get it because they feel entitled to it because they are famous. They don't see what they did as rape. They see it as "She's with a star, she will love it. Nobody tells us no". But I don't know anything about that case or what the alleged circumstances were. I'm just making a general observation that I don't think famous people go into it expecting pushback or a fight. To them if there's no violence or fighting back then it's not rape. We all know that's not true.
  8. The hazy two hearted is good. I loved M43 when it first came out and I think I got burned out on it. Lately I have been going low cal and sticking with All Day or an equivalent. Once or twice a week I will splurge on a higher content. It’s helped me drop some pounds. After Easter I realized I was having too much. Sometimes 3-4 a day just out of habit as the days got warmer. Just got back from Aruba at an all inclusive so I loaded up on the tropical drinks and cocktails. Only had one local beer that was stocked in our fridge just to see if it was good. A Pilsner so nothing heavy.
  9. Public officials should not be making official decisions because of what their Bible or any other religious text tells them.
  10. I subscribed to the athletic longer than I should have. I got so frustrated because their app would frequently forget me and I had to login again. I could have it open and click a Twitter link and it would ask me to login. Little things like that bug me and if I am paying a fee then it should work.
  11. I remember visiting a white sox MB for awhile and when the scientists decided Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore someone posted on their general topic forum “Pluto: he gone”.
  12. Shades is sister Mary Elephant at our lady of 116th street.
  13. Going with my wife to see Pink this summer and my joke is she's going to see Pink and I'm going to see Brandi. But Pink's alright and I'm sure the show will be phenominal but Brandi is my girlfriend even if I'm not her preference.
  14. No. I have a local deli that's been around for at least 35 years and every Tuesday I get a chicken caeser wrap. I'm sure it's nothing special but he loads it up. The oil from the dressing starts to drip through the wrap onto my hand as i hold it. I look forward to it every week. Became a pandemic thing. I start to get sad when I'm almost finished with it. My wife gets mad that I won't wait until Thursday when she's home but it's gotta be Tuesday. You go back to work on Monday, things might be a little busier but come Tuesday morning things settle down and I know at 11:20 it's time to order. I can do it online and it's ready when I get there. It's literally my favorite thing to eat and has been for 3 years. Nothing I will eat the rest of the week will top it.
  15. I don't consider any of this radical at all. Many people share the same thoughts. When you say people mock Christians I don't think you are the target.
  16. and may of those people who don't want to share don't grasp that even though they paid into social security and medicare they often get back much more than they put in. And that's a good thing.
  17. A government employee with a security clearance making business deals with China is a non story?
  18. It's also telling that the GOP never "got rid of it" when they could even though they said they would... Also, you described yourself as hard right. I wouldn't have guessed that. I detected right leanings but not something I'd call "hard right". I appreciate the discourse and if that's indeed true it's good to have that perspective intelligently represented here. Given what I know about you from here I get the sense you represent a significant portion of our electorate in terms of who wins and loses.
  19. I always thought the way the LGBTQ thing played out, especially gay marriage, was arranged. The legend is Biden says it publicly and backs Obama in a corner. I view that as a good cop/bad cop situation. Sort of like forcing someone else, with little risk since he's VP, to make the decision for him.
  20. This could be the updated 2009 season. Just get close.
  21. A few years ago we were told of a big snow coming and there was a news story about heart attacks so my wife strongly hinted we get one. I'm approaching 50 so I figured this would be the last one I ever buy. I got the last one at Lowe's, around $900. This was Dec 2021. I've used it three times and once was just to use it when I didn't really need to.
  22. This was a good win. It's still may and you need to stomp out losing streaks in order to prevent a spiral.
  23. People will believe what they want to be true. I’m fearful of something more localized. What if a disgruntled employee, student, or parent makes one of these about someone and we end up with some kind of vigilante justice? Yeah I know…. I browse too many lifetime movie network listings. Girl doesn’t make the cheerleading squad? Jealous mom makes a video showing the girl who made the squad over her daughter in a compromising situation and if spreqds. Girl commits suicide.
  24. How was the weather nationally?
  25. I first saw that video from a pro trump account. I read the replies and I agree with them, then I notice the MAGA hats in the avatars. Surreal experience. I think the GOP strategy among the other candidates is to knock off Desantis and hope some external factor keeps Trump out of the race and leave the rest for a Scott of Haley or Hutcheson to pick up the leftovers with Trump giving a half assed endorsement. I think now the only path for a GOP win is to go for the middle and hope Trumpies stay home. Too many Trump fans will not vote for another Republican politician.
