Their cheeseburger sub was my fav. Their red pepper relish makes Italian combo subs unreal tasty. I could bathe in that stuff. Gotta get back there sometime. Rudy’s too 🤤

Just had this exact snack last night whilst drunk 👌 😋

Gabe Davis 6 for 111 yards and 2 Tuddys 👌

I probably ate 50 of these from the Oswego Sub Shop during grad school.

Gosh, I could probably write a best seller with all the things I have witnessed/been a part of over the years. Yes, I am a PhD School Psychologist. I took my first job in NC after passing up 2 jobs near my hometown or Auburn, NY. I knew the pay was not as good, but was looking for a temporary change of scenery. Charlotte-Mecklenberg is a county wide school district. As are all districts in NC to my knowledge. It’s just huge. My first job was at a “low SES” K-6 building with almost 1700 students in a building designed for ~600 students. The property was covered with temporary trailers for classrooms. It was in that school that I witnessed a lot of eye opening things. I also worked my final year in Charlotte in a very affluent elementary school near Quail Hollow golf course. A lot of the Panthers players’ kids went there. Such a difference in terms of resources available for teachers/students. The PTA complained that there was not a covering over the playground, so they just purchased one. Crazy. I also worked in Fairbanks, AK for 3 years before settling here in Vermont. Got about a 35K salary raise going there from NC. Up there, one of the biggest problems was fetal Alcohol syndrome. Every work environment comes with its positives and negatives. One of my favorite memories as an educator was giving one of my Charlotte students a couple dozen pairs or socks because I noticed he wasn’t wearing any for a week. He was so happy...like I gifted him a PS5 or something. We both cried 😆

Educators get paid horribly in North Carolina. My wife had a friend who was a first year kindergarten teacher with her Masters degree. IIRC, she made just north of 31K/year. I guess I felt stuck in the situation. If I hadn’t offered to transport the student and his mother, he would have been sent home and may have hurt himself or others. I couldn’t have that on my conscience. That school was wild. There were also 2 shootings in the school during my brief 3 year tenure. Both times young students stole a gun from their home and discharged it in the classroom. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Back in 2009 when I was working as a psychologist in an elementary school in Charlotte, I got radioed right after lunch on a Friday afternoon that there was a student in crisis in a classroom. I went to the 4th grade classroom and saw that the students had been evacuated by the teacher, so I calmly entered the classroom to evaluate the situation. I saw a student (who I was familiar with) sitting in his chair crying with a pair of teacher scissors help up against his wrist. I tried to verbally de-escalate the student, and gradually made my way closer and closer to where he was sitting. I eventually felt like I had the student in a better place emotionally, so I asked him to please give me the scissors. In a flash, the youngster shot up and stabbed me in the chest with the scissors. It wasn't too bad, but bad enough for the blade to penetrate about 1/2" and make me bleed pretty good. That's when one of the behavior interventionists burst into the classroom and we both worked together to disarm the student, safely restrain him until he calmed down, and "escort" him to my office. I still don't recall why law enforcement wasn't at least called, but we finally got ahold of the student's mother and suggested to her that she bring him to the psychiatric ER for evaluation. She informed us that while she'd like to, her boyfriend was just finishing packing the car for a fishing trip so she had no transportation. I ended up having to transport the student and his mother to the Psych ER for evaluation, and waited there with them throughout the entire 4 hour intake process. I also was scheduled to work a bartending shift that night and had to call in, so I lost $250-$300 in tips. That was a sucky Friday.

I like yellow mustard on my mashed potatoes.

I’m not sure. I get the larger 24oz “chef sized” bottles through Amazon. I do bacon-wrapped chicken kabobs with poblano peppers, red onion and pineapple. Drizzle the honey on every time I flip the kabobs. Adds a nice, warm heat and that sweet flavor. https://www.amazon.com/Mikes-Hot-Honey-Chefs-Bottle/dp/B073SHJ587/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?adgrpid=55750957413&dchild=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI04bYxO3e8wIVCr3ICh3XjQQ8EAAYAiAAEgJmPPD_BwE&hvadid=274756898083&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9003089&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11652648541235413431&hvtargid=kwd-337820911178&hydadcr=16081_9881702&keywords=mike's+hot+honey&qid=1634934489&sr=8-4

Nah, I’m not buying this either...well not completely anyway. I have, however, heard this criticism of Boeheim before. Increasingly, he has become less “hands on” with recruiting which can be a turn off for some recruits. My understanding is that the desire to part ways was somewhat mutual between Prince Dior and the coaching staff.

I wanted Starling, but I’ll take Bunch. Nice they they were able to steal him away from Hop.

I’m sure she still has a stellar rack though 👌

I like to eat sliced avocado on sandwiches. My wife bought this tool that acts as a scoop and a slicer at the same time. Changed my frickin life.

That woman is 40 😳

I just assume everyone knows about Mike’s Hot Honey, right? I put it on just about everything.

No, I don’t shower WITH the heroin addicts that frequent my house! Jeez 🙄

I don’t know. Something about a bad bite, man. Poor tooth to gum ratio also. Not a fan...

She’s got one too many teeth up top for my liking. Probably knobby knees too.

This is why I’m wondering if they might have another one “in the chamber” further depicting his character from HS until he begins to ascend to power 🤔

Interested to hear what folks thought about this movie. I watched Friday night and enjoyed it a lot. Love how they paid extra attn to characters like, Tony’s mother, Uncle Junior, and Dickie Moltisanti. Thought Ray Liotta was horrible as the Moltisanti twins, IMO. I almost feel like there could be an additional prequel made. I really need to watch this again.

I don’t have an “account” there because it’s really toxic and unpleasant, but I also do lurk. I met CuseTroop at a bar. I had just moved there and knew no one, so I was by myself just having some drinks. I was wearing my SU hat, so he came up to me and struck up a conversation with me. We’ve been really close friends ever since. Awesome dude and very fun to party with.

Yessir! That’s my good friend 💪

All of the friends I still keep in touch with are from HS. Couple from college. We’ve moved so much I never really made close friendships with many people...except one dude in Alaska that I see a couple times a year (he’s single, has $, and loves to travel). We meet up different places for SU basketball games. We’ve been here in VT for 8 years and I don’t really have any friends that I would consider close. Mostly just acquaintances. I’m too old and too busy and don’t really care anymore.

Very interesting statement from Dior. Had great relationships with Red Autry and GMac, but “wanted more” from Boeheim. Hence, his reason for decommitting 🤔

This one is huge. Not that he’s an elite talent, but we just need height and athleticism in the middle of the zone. This kid needs to do work in the weight room, but he’s tremendously athletic and a competitor.
