You can’t fix accuracy problems. That’s been proven over and over.

ESPN has no idea what year it is, or really much of anything. 🤷‍♂️

Somebody had to. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t eat either, so I’ll take your word for it.

What’s the difference between grits and polenta? About $5. There is a place I used to go for lunch. (Note the past tense.) They have a great muffuletta sandwich. Few people do, but this was great version and heavy on the mortadella with a strong garlicky/olive paste. With a tiny bottle of Sprite and a bag of chips, and a dill pickle of some flavor they insist you have , plus tax and tip it was like $30!!! Someone posted a name of some tavern with a good fried bologna sandwich and it looked it up. Their on-line menu will get you one for I think $5.70. You decide. .

I make my own kimmelweck for beef of weck. Would it be a good idea or sacrilege to try fried bologna on weck? I know I haven’t had a fried bologna sandwich in a half century, but if the store were open I’d have one today.

There may be a new ashtray in it for you. Reconsidering? I’m on team GunnerBill with a handful of people in the next tier, then the tier who thinks they know their stuff, then people like me. I know I don’t know so I come here to learn about these guys.

My wife is very careful with her diet and we always have fresh fruit in the house. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, etc. I just keep going for the blueberries. I can’t help myself. I must say, there are some telltale signs that maybe you need to diversify your diet if you go overboard, if you know what I mean…. My wife paid someone to hold her accountable early in this weight control process. One surprise was they would make her stop and eat. She was working a crazy schedule with no time for the bathroom but she had to stop for a snack between meals. It kept her from getting too hungry, then pigging out on chips or something bad. That was interesting. She also has warm water with lemon every day. 🤷‍♂️ Good luck with the weight loss. Go pick up a 10-12lb bowling ball and know you’re already carrying around that much less.

I’d like to see that, but we’d need to look closer at the options. To be clear, my wife loves Easter, and she also loves the best sleep on earth that comes with the anesthesia for a colonoscopy. That does NOT make her a (complete) weirdo. .

When our son was young I came into the room to hear him screaming at my wife “I NEED A DOCTOR! WHAT KIND OF MOTHER ARE YOU???” He then proceeded to vomit every jelly bean from his basket all over her nightie. Some appeared to be un-chewed. Every day should be Mother’s Day. We love those warm Easter memories. 😂 Easter was THE Holiday of the year for my wife’s family. Bigger than Christmas. It was strange for me at first, but everybody is a little different and that’s ok.

I went into a bar yesterday for lunch and there was basketball on TV. It took me a while to realize it was the NBA. I didn’t ask them to change the channel because there were other TV’s to watch. NFL players try on every play of every single game, unlike the NBA. If you don’t try in the regular season, I don’t care about your playoffs.

You made me look it up! I’m guessing trebuchet is having a record number of searches today! 😂

He was very slow to come back fully from the ACL. He may just be the same way with the Achilles. I’m not expecting Prime Tre, but I bet he’s physically and mentally ready to be able to help. I like the move, and I like the guy.

I don’t think we could toss him over the LOS.

Not to mention, your broken ashtray has to be better than anything I saw in those photos. It’s lacking, I’m just sayin’

A college buddy who I think was a cop, went to law school and is now a prosecutor replied to this ^^^ on a text thread with: ”Saved that one. I used to say, please step out of the car, and watch them fall on their face. Whoops, you just failed the Field Sobriety Test. Too bad, you seemed to have done a lot of cramming.” 😂

Where is Joanna Gaines when you need her??? 😂

As a Xavier grad, I agree it’s a gorgeous area. No comment on the rest. 😊 Good luck, I remember those college shopping days oh so well. It goes by fast! EDIT: That’s just about a perfect distance for you. Kids want (and need?) to get away a bit, but not too far. For me Cincinnati to Buffalo when the speed limits was 55 was less than ideal. .

I’m jealous, that’s one of the few I’d really like to see. I’ll go to different cities to see Bills games, but that’s generally about the game day environment. I’d be happy to just take a tour of the Vikings stadium. Minneapolis is a sneaky nice city, too. EDIT: I did see a Bills game in the dome in Minneapolis. The old dome. The Bills lost to the Redskins in the SB. I’m glad they tore that place down. .

I actually loved the NBA back then! Now I won’t even watch the Finals and I change the channel if the NBA becomes the topic. EDIT: WOW! That brings back some memories. I may have been at that game! We split four season tickets with another family and spent a lot of great times sitting in that second level bowl in the corner. It felt like we were on the court, and a friend had even better seats. We were not wealthy, it must have been very affordable compared to today. Somebody has to pay those enormous salaries, but it won’t be me. I could go back and watch an old Braves game, but you can’t make me watch the NBA today. EDIT: In retrospect, nobody who ever met my father would describe him as wise with money, so there’s that. 🤷‍♂️ But it sure was FUN! . .

On “normal” houses you traditionally get 94-96% of the asking price on a properly priced house. With more expensive properties it’s not unusual to see sales at 20-30% discounts from asking.

You’re correct about it being likable to the masses. That house won’t offend anyone’s sensibilities. I used to perform and review real estate appraisals. On relocation appraisals they ask if there is anything about the house that may negatively affect marketability. Nobody ever enjoyed getting dinged for their terrible taste and how they hurt the house. They’d want to talk to you when they get that news! 😂 Also, cost/SF arguments are meaningless unless you adjust for everything else. How’s many acres are you on? Do you have travertine floors or vinyl? Do you have a pool? Those are all big questions, but it’s the same old story: kitchens and baths sell houses.

Ski resorts with people filling up outdoor spas in single digit weather with the steam rising is still a strange sight to me. I’ve never actually gotten in one like that.

I’m not arguing or taking a position, this is just an observation: Every time I fly into Buffalo I am surprised when I look down and see so many pools! Both in-ground and above ground, there are far more pools than I would have expected.
