  1. I am NOT going to do any of this. We've got all these photographers taking a million pictures of WNY, and nobody has done this. It's insane.
  2. This is exactly what I'm talking about. There are a million pictures of the Peace Bridge, and I usually have one up as my screensaver. Since they started with the lights, it looks great at night. But, hasn't anybody looked out of their windows going over the PB? It's such an amazing view of the whole lake turning into the river. You can see about a quarter of it's beauty in the 2nd and 3rd pictures. Imagine the view from the middle of the PB Now I watched the video in the third "picture" and it's like the photographer isn't allowed to show what I'm talking about. How stupid.
  3. Why are you quoting me with that info? All I asked for are pictures from the Peace Bridge!
  4. The river leaves Lake Erie at Buffalo, New York. It immediately narrows to a width of 1,500 feet and depth of 17 feet as it reaches a rock ledge, which naturally controls its outflow. This constricted channel is spanned by the Peace Bridge, with three piers which further restrict the channel. I cannot find a picture online from on top of the Peace Bridge looking out onto Lake Erie (or down the river, for that matter). I always have to look, even if I'm driving, because it's such a great view............I have no idea why nobody seems to have taken pictures from up there. Or if anybody has seen pics, please post. This was a good podcast last month. It was with the author of another Great Lakes book: https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2018/11/09/death-and-life-great-lakes-dan-egan
  5. I remember him well with the Pistons............I don't think I ever thought of it that the all time SU and all time SBU players were the two stars of the Pistons in the 70s.
  6. The word you said above was Option. I KNOW why people get in the health care field. But, I also know that things intervene. (Just like in teaching, and I'm sure other great fields) I had no question about any of this - until they persisted and persisted about it. "Can't force them to do anything" is true, but these doctors were trying to be more persuasive that the guy in Baby It's Cold Outside................and, they eventually were. I never would have brought it up if it didn't just happen again to this case that I'm close to. (The details are a little different because they did not have a DNR or any of that stuff. But, my mother DID have her paperwork. She had made her decision. And, she was sticking by her decision) I have made my wishes very clear. Just let me go - sooner rather than later! My mother was the opposite, though. ?
  7. And Dave Bing?
  8. Can you at least still call him Neck Tattoo?...............Although Drunken Donut is a first for me, and I like it!

  10. I posted this on another board that is health care related and they blasted me for just the opposite reason. Saying it's not financial. It's about not wanting to break ribs with CPR, not wanting the patient to suffer, etc.
  11. Here's the thing. I totally get all that 100%. I have it in my papers that I don't want anything to prolong my life...............But, my mother did. So, leave her the eff alone about it. They hounded us. If it really is in the patient's interest, how about letting the patient decide what they want. She was fully capable of doing that.
  12. My mother died 6 years ago. I mentioned that in the OP.............It's my friend's father right now. She is beating herself up for listening to the doctors who kept pushing.
  13. My sister saw Clint Holmes (from Buffalo) in Vegas, and he acknowledged that he's a "One Hit Wonder" and then asked the audience "How many hits have you had?" LOL
  14. I agree with all you're saying. But, my mother had made comeback after comeback. She was on life support and came back. If she wanted all this stuff (that I have signed that I DON'T want) - they should not be hounding her and us to sign off on stopping them. Why even have the living will or whatever it's called in the first place?!?...................It was incredibly excessive and made me start thinking there is something financial going on here. Follow the money.
  15. Reminder that this is on tonight for anybody who missed it the first time.
  16. I didn't even like it when I was in school 35+ years ago, and "we" would chant "*****" at a bad call.
  17. I'm thinking this has got to be a financial/health insurance thing. I think I heard before that there is a point where a patient is in the hospital X amount of days and then the hospital starts losing money every day after that. When my mother died, they pushed and pushed to rescind her living will or whatever it is called where she actually DID want the machines, the water, the food through tubes, etc. She wanted to live every day that she could.........They kept asking her and us to sign a DNR or change her living will or whatever. She refused........Finally, she had another heart attack and she decided to sign it, when we talked to her into it - after the doctors convinced us she wasn't going to make yet another comback The same thing is now happening with my friend's father and she had to make the decision for him, and is now beating herself up that she shouldn't have listened to the doctors who kept pushing for it. What gives? I can't google a good answer.
  18. Will the Chick Fil-A be open for the Lions game?
  19. I remember being there the next week - hoping to see another fight!
  20. Do the yellow vests only protest on weekends?
  21. Is this a recent rule that the offense can waste time like this?
  22. Are you saying they brawled twice?
