The Chiefs have only begun to address their defensive woes. They have much more work to do.

Am I the only person who remembers how Teague struggled at LT for the Broncos? They didn't even offer him a contract, which allowed him to come to Buffalo in the first place. And now people want him to be our starter at LT???

Taylor is about 5 lbs lighter than Ogunleye was at LDE for the Dolphins. You remember him, right? Mike Williams sure does, as do I.

Who's Doug Flutie?

Erie Pa/36/Baltimore MD (unfortunately)

It appears the suspect has some roots in the Baltimore area. I'm shocked.

It's Wednesday? I thought it was Tuesday.

The GM for Tampa Bay had to drop out. The Bucs are available, if anyone wants them.

Another *BUMP* for those who may be interested.

I'm just not into dieting. I've found that by just moderating the amounts I eat, and by exercising more, I can lose weight too. That works for me. Like I said, I was about 360 back in November, now I'm down to 339.

He plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

That's exactly what I was saying before. The 'ideal weight' isn't even something doctors have totally agreed on. At one time, I planned to be around 235-245, but that's too small. When I was in school, I ran track at 195 and played football at around 210. There's no way I could stand being that small anymore. It just doesn't look good. I want to be around 255-265, somewhere in that range.

I don't diet. All I've done is exercise more. I was walking about 4-5 miles at a time, but only about 2 or 3 times a week. Now, I do it daily. I still drink beer and eat junk, just not nearly as much or as often.

He is obese, by any definition. So am I, though. I have lost about 20 lbs since November, but I hope to lose a lot more. If I work at it enough, I can get down to around 285-290 by the fall.

When I first started seeing my doctor in '96, I was 6-6 and about 279lbs. After a few visits, I was down to 267 and he was saying I was obese. Crazy! Presently, I weight 339lbs and I know I don't want to stay there. I hope to get down to around 255-265. Of course, I'll still be 'obese' according to some charts. Here's a decent article I found that talks about ideal body weight.

That's great! Tell her I said congrats. I'd go tell her myself and all, but you did say Bensonhurst, didn't you?

Me not it get. Sussplain it.

It doesn't. I still don't have my undergraduate degree. Although I'm sure here in Maryland they have some sort of law that says, "anyone who can spell the word 'teacher' correctly can teach". They are so hard up for teachers here.

Stomach cancer? Oh, man! I'll bet she was miserable before she passed away. She has to be better off now.

I've been telling her for years that she needs to contact Shippensburg to see where she's at in terms of her degree. Before, she had to stop because of travel (she lived in the Shippensburg area, but worked in Harrisburg, which is about 45 minutes away), but now, maybe she can find a place where her credits will transfer and she can earn the ones she needs for the degree.

You're right. It does come down to priorities. Right now, what I want has to take a back seat to what we NEED. Our dog needs to have running around room, so we got the fence. We needed a new sofa, so we got one last year. We still need a bed (we sleep on a full sized bed), so that's next. When I go down the list of priorities, those things are ahead of me getting my degree. I'm sure it will happen for me, at some point. Like one of my former high school teachers told me when I did my classroom observations, "you can always go back and teach".

She had some sort of disease, If I recall correctly. She was on one of the soaps at the time she died.

I wish. Since buying the house and all, there's always something that keeps me from putting aside any funds to do that. Last year, we bought a new sectional sofa w/our tax refund. This year, we used it (and other $$) to get a vinyl fence for the backyard. So, I won't even see the refund check, other than to kiss it goodbye, when we get it this year. I really do want to get my degree and start teaching and hopefully coaching. Teaching is something that comes pretty naturally to me. Once I'm done, I hope to be an Algebra teacher somewhere. Algebra was always the Math class that was easiest for me and I'm sure I could teach it so that it won't be so intimidating for others. As for coaching, I've wanted to do that ever since I was a kid. Maybe some day.

Small world. Edinboro is just up the road from Erie. I've been there many times.

Yeah, those scenes were pretty cool. Ray Park is one heck of a fighter. He did fight scenes for X-Men (Toad) and Sleepy Hollow (Headless Horseman) as well. He's supposed to star in the movie version of the comic book Iron Fist, but I haven't heard much about where they're at in the development of it lately.
