Go 6 days a week. Get the $20/month it costs me back on showers alone. Just needs to be part of your daily routine. Just a word of advice, if you're not a morning person, don't make your workout time before work. Might last for a few weeks but you'll never make it long term, especially when the cold weather hits. Evander Hollyfield used to say it's tough to go jogging at 6:00 AM when you're wearing silk pajamas. Before retiring I was usually lucky enough to have managers that let me come in early, leave late, and take a 2 hour lunch when I went to the gym. Fringe benefit of this is people see you there when they come in and when they leave...no one notices the length of your lunch.

I'm an easy listening guy, the Dan brothers, Seals and Fogelberg, were both in their 50's. Fogelberg the more famous of the two. Also, Lenny Bruce and Tim Russert. -
When it comes to extended warranties, whether it's electronics, automotives, furniture, whatever, the numbers favor whoever is issuing the warranty. There may be a few times that you wish you had purchased the extended warranty, but over the course of a lifetime, you're better off never purchasing them. For the most part, whatever is going to go wrong will happen within the initial warranty period anyways.

Hot for Teacher: Alabama style X2

Alas, this is a family forum. What you suggest might well end up with warning points. -
Hot for Teacher: Alabama style X2

1) The mug shot made me think pass, but the subsequent pictures by shady and seasons show that she does indeed clean up pretty nice. 2) I can hear Brent Musburger now...kids, this is what you end up with in Alabama if you don't play quarterback -
The announcers made the point several times that there was no affect on Country House, and the best horse crossed the line first. But other horses were affected, good chance places 3-5 would have ended differently, and the rules call for disqualification if the outcome (not just the winner) is affected, which it was.

Turns out he didn't

Yeah, it's really tough to judge a UDFA class until 2-3 years later. There should be a "redoing the 2016 UDFA signings" article instead of trying to judge this years class?

fixed now

Don't really like horse racing, but I have to admit, Seabiscuit and Secretariat are two of my all time favorite movies.

For stuff like frozen vegetables it might be their seconds. Friend of mine worked at Dannon, for stuff like yogurt they just swap out the containers, wouldn't make sense to clean out the vats. I would think its that way for most liquids.

Next month it will be 11 years since Tim Russert died

Most store brands are name brands re-packaged and sold at 3/4 the price give or take.

I heard a comedian once that pretty much summed up my feeling about bowling...called it athletics for people that have lost the will to live.

I'll be disappointed if we are drafting in the top 10 again next year

Didn't have as many yards as Fant or Hockenson, but had more receptions than either.

Dean’s List (Astro’s Bills Draft analysis)
Steve O replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
More like I've learned to be patient and manage expectations for these things. Let's take a trip down memory lane and look at the 2016 draft: 1) Shaq Lawson: Then - was psyched he fell to us at #19, but things fell just right with the first 18 picks. Thought he was top 10 talent (Sound anything like things falling just right with the first 8 picks for Oliver to fall to us at 9 this year when many thought he was a top 5 talent?) 3 years later, book may still be out but at best he's been a disappointment. At least he's still on the team, only one from this draft that can say that. 2) Reggie Ragland: Then - unbelievable we got him at #41, was hoping he would still be available to us in the first (had to trade away assets to move up a few spots and nab him at 41, sound similar to Cody Ford at 38 this year?) 3 years later, well, we did use the pick we got for him as part of the deal to move back in to the third for Knox, but I'm sure Beane would have figured a way to get back there without the pick. Did he ever play a down for the Bills? Wish him well, but certainly a huge disappointment. 3) Adolphus Washington: Then - another value pick, lucky to get him this late in the third. Our defense will be great this year!! 3 years later - we can have him if we want him, no one else does. 4) Cardale Jones - Then: He'll be able to learn for a year or two under Taylor, then we have our franchise quarterback with a fourth round pick! 3 years later, know we got a conditional pick for him, maybe one this year's 7th rounders? Not sure. Once again, huge disappointment. 5) Jonathan Williams, 6) Kolby Listenbee, 6) Kevon Seymour - Didn't expect much from these three, maybe a little from Williams. Got even less. 3 years later, Seymour is still in the league, the guy we traded him for (Kaelin Clay) is not. So the overall grade I would have given for this draft would have been B+ in 2016. Three years later, a generous D. In fairness that was the last Whaley/Ryan draft, 2017 seems much better at this point, but I'll give my final grade on it next year.
