  1. My mother in laws uncles were born in that time frame. All from Poland. Same way. They found money hidden in all kinds of places. $20 here or there. Garbage bags filled with cleaned out styrofoam containers and zip lock baggies. Can’t throw **** away. On the one hand I’m glad I don’t worry about money and am blessed with the means to be that way. I’m not rich but I make ok money I think and know of too many people who died in their 60s for me to not have fun now. I have no debt other than 9 years on a mortgage at <3% I love concerts and baseball and hockey games. Live life. I do not take it for granted but I also never saw a brinks truck driving behind a hearse on the way to the cemetery. but I also think of uncle Ted and Bruno and I wonder if I am wasteful and gluttonous.
  2. I think it was Einstein who said compound interest is the most powerful thing created by man.
  3. I was second guessing myself and asked my wife and she confirmed chili and not coney sauce.
  4. If anyone in the area wants good coneys a good place is Joes Top Dogs in east Dearborn. Doesn’t get mentioned like those 2 downtown or Duly’s but it’s just as good.
  5. Because outside of being gay and having photos to prove a gag act, there is really nothing that can be in there that will move the needle in a meaningful way. This is all good fodder but there won’t be ramifications for any men.
  6. No on coney sauce. We’ve always called it chili sauce. or just sauce.
  7. Which because they have their salary caps? I can’t think of any top MLB free agents that have signed long term deals the day FA opens.
  8. For a lot of people they simply can’t get past the idea that a minority got something they felt entitled to. I have plenty of white friends o acquaintances still bitter because their 3.5 GPA wasn’t good enough for Ann Arbor and they assume a minority took their place . It’s the same lesson I mentioned before avout the “unfairness” of trans athletes for females. Sometimes in life there are obstacles beyond your control and you will think it’s unfair. Deal with it. It’s not a travesty you got stuck with another school or lost a volleyball game. My friends in middle school had to play basketball against Chris Webber who was the size of a grown man in 7th grade while we all had chubby baby fat. It happens.
  9. For those who are not aware…. Nancy, according to the rumor mongers, was said to be very good at something in Hollywood circles when she met Ron.
  10. Yep. Specifically with regards to SP and the 5 innings thing.
  11. Reminds me of Whoopie Goldberg defending Polanski... "it wasn't rape rape...." were her words.
  12. why would a person need to establish a different 'degree' of rape? A person who rapes a 14 year old girl is just as evil as one who rapes a 5 year old girl and their punishments should be equal. To suggest otherwise introduces an element of "Well you can see why they'd do it... they look almost grown... cut them some slack". That's what it is.
  13. This was released earlier this year but not available to stream until now. Given the recent R&R HOF induction it seems relevant. I heard it's going to only be on YouTube for a week. I saw clips over the months but yesterday I got to watch the whole thing. Check it out.
  14. and before you end it early as she sort of trails away and starts to say "but it's bad, blah blah blah" she closes it with somethin really horrific. So, no this wasn't an original misquote or mistakenly saying the wrong thing. She summed up her point quite well with the final statement in this clip. And it's really bad.
  15. they don't get paid to bunt. they get paid to drive in runs
  16. Imagine voting for this guy. How can one look themselves in the mirror defending a pedo?
  17. She cashed out and pulled the ladder up behind her. the best part about the C word is it has meaning. She’s one.
  18. Republicans - 15 is 'barely legal'.. which to our uneducated friends means that Ms. Kelly is saying that it's ok, despite her claims that it's disgusting.
  19. To many of them statutory rape is just a legal construct... not a moral one. That includes the Christian fundamentalists.
  20. Surprised we didn't see a "He won the Cy Young Award for the second consecutive year in a row" tweet. The editor in me gets flabbergasted sometimes for what I see from "reporter"
  21. and ozzie didn't necessarily "take him out" drinking. Miggy met up with them at the team hotel which was probably walking distance from his house in Birmingham.
  22. yeah I thought it was fake to be honest. I don't know what that means.
