  1. It kind of depends on where my kids end up living, tbh.  I’d like to be within striking range of both of them if possible.  My wife and I have talked about selling our home and buying a lake house somewhere in the northeast.  Perhaps a return to the finger lakes region.  I like the idea of moving south to get away from the cold and snow.  We’ll see.  I still have have ~20 years to work before I can retire with a full state pension/benefits.  😂

    Dude! Stick is so good! My wife and I just binge watched all 7 episodes in 24 hours. The kid's Mom and especially the old dude who swears at everyone including little kids is cracking us up!

     

    It's not as good as Ted Lasso but it's same genre and ballpark 


    Meh.  Like I said, I think it’s a decent show.  Got some laughs.  I watched E7 last night.  Maybe the episodes are too short?  I don’t know.  I agree it’s kind of the same genre as Ted Lasso, but not nearly as good, IMO.  I’ll continue to watch it, but it’s not something that I really look forward to.  To each his/her own I suppose.  🤷🏾‍♂️

  3. I’ve bought a few bootleg jerseys from China with varying success.  The color is sometimes a bit off.  Letter spacing/size might be weird.  This past Christmas my wife got me a brown JA Wyoming jersey and it is nearly perfect.  Even has the legit Mitchell & Ness patch.  I get compliments on it all the team, and people don’t believe me that it is a fake.

    How is Stick?  That's something I would be interested in watching but I don't have AppleTv


    Stick is pretty good but kind of cheesy, IMHO.  That said, I’ll continue to watch to see if the kid wins the US amatures.  Not a huge fan of Owen Wilson, but the show definitely has its funny moments.

    Well, cops are too scared to enforce laws these days for one.

     

    But yeah, it should be a states right to make these calls. 


    In Vermont, they passed a law whereby even an officer smelling marijuana during a traffic stop isn’t probably cause to search the vehicle or suspect DUI/conduct a sobriety test.

    I'm going to break this guy's fist before he breaks my face 

     

    That's a risky strategy


    The Homer Simpson strategy.  He busted a lot of people’s parlays last night.

  8. I really started to notice last summer.  My electric bill is typically higher in the summer time bc I run 5 AC units in my home.  It wasn’t uncommon to get a monthly bill for $225-250.  My bill since then has been at least $325-350 regardless of the season.

  9. Cricket came to us already named.  She was on “death row” in a shelter down in South Carolina somewhere, and was brought up to Vermont to a shelter where we adopted her.

     

    It was abundantly clear right away that she had been horribly abused.  It became clear that she was abused by an adult male.  It took probably 6 weeks before Cricket would even look at me.  She would interact with my wife and children, but would tuck tail and hide behind the couch when I came in the room.

     

    I didn’t force her to accept me.  Every day, two or three times a day, I would literally crawl a few feet into the room she was in and let her see me leave a treat for her on the floor.  I progressively made it closer and closer without her fleeing.  Eventually she would let me pet her a little bit and now we’re pals.

     

    She still follows my wife around the house all the time, but I’ll take it.  She’s a sweet old girl.  Just turned 14 years old in March.

    @Johnny Hammersticks at least Easter is an actual holiday that you get off from school/work, that is until schools changed Easter vacation to Spring break.

     

    Unlike fake holidays like St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo or Halloween(which I love).

     

    I think Easter is a very good holiday, but if it isn't your thing, so be it.


    Easter is just a pain in my ass.  I’m not religious at all, so take that out of the equation.  Have to wake up early on a Sunday which stinks.  With the exception of deviled eggs, I don’t like any of the food.  I also am not a big sweets guy.  It also doesn’t help that I live in Vermont and it’s still cold here.  Easter is an all-around loser holiday for me, but I can understand why some really get into it.

     

    I do really enjoy Halloween, but they make a really big deal about it in my town.  Huge parade with a big block party.  We have friends over for trick or treating.  Drink some choice beers while the kids are running around the neighborhood.  Valentines Day is sometimes nice depending on which day it falls.  The wife and I usually plan a small trip or go out to a nice restaurant.  Cinco de Mayo hasn’t really been a “thing” since my younger days.
