So it wasn’t bad actors throwing them, they just had flying beer bottles and cans. Not much you can do about that! Glad they outlawed the flying beer containers, and probably where the 5-10 cent refund policy came from! I can’t describe how sick I am about hearing about the Cowboys. They are in a lousy division, and are not worthy of so much hype. It was a stupid call, and they played a lousy, undisciplined game. They deserved to lose, and they did. Get over it.

Well, at least you were rich! 🤷‍♂️

The Eagles have 3 picks in the first round between 15 and 19. The Cheaters* don’t pick until 21. They need the ammo, and I don’t see NE pulling it off.

More TD’s than incompletions. How often does THAT happen? AND, it’s just that much sweeter that it all happened against the Cheaters*!!! As Belichick would say, if you don’t want us to run it up, STOP US!

I shave about 364 days a year. The people who bought our house a month ago four doors up the road agreed to come over on a rare snowy day in Atlanta. I made chili, because it felt like that kind of day. My ritual of shaving only happened because we had people over. I may go 365 days this year.

It wasn’t Oahu, but my son was recently in Hawaii for his honeymoon. Italy was a no-go at that point. Probably still is for us in a couple months. Anyway, they sent us pics of them at a bar with beers at 7:00 am local time. Beers were in hand, and the game was on. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. ENJOY!

He should be the next commencement speaker for TE University. He is the proof of what can be, and what hard work can make of a person. .

I agree. You are spoiled rotten.

…..and then they died. 🤷‍♂️

What about @Ice bowl 67? Let’s not leave out any of our illustrious visitors. Having said that, I’m sure I’m forgetting many myself! Classy for @PatsFanNH to come in after taking a beating. We have been on the other end of that far too often and most of us would skulk away. I don’t go to other teams boards, but if I did I’d want to be fair and even handed.

Happy nerve free birthday! Your present was delivered last night! You’re old enough to stop breaking into cars now!

You also started a thread during a game. I’m afraid you will have to do some community service. My car needs a good cleaning. FYI 🤷‍♂️

We will all know where to find @plenzmd1! I wonder if they will have a special potty for him?

Everyone will be happy to know the popsicles will be safe! Who doesn’t want a popsicle after 3 hours of subzero windchill, while turning into……a popsicle?

A lot of people wait, trying to get a ticket at the best possible price at the last minute. I’ve talked to people at the tailgate who were holding off because it might go down a little more. That is NOT MY STYLE! If I decide to go to a game, I want my tickets in hand before I walk out of the house. That may not be financially optimal, but I need that peace of mind. However it works, I hope the seats get as full as possible! This is a game you can say “I was there”. Hopefully, you can say it proudly as a fond memory with a smile on your face! GO BILLS!!!

I don’t forget WHAT I posted, I just forget THAT I posted. That way I don’t have to worry about it. Can you find your car when you come out of the grocery store? Your phone might help with that too! Are you hitting the pills again???

Costco has cheap gas and is very close by, but the lines are ridiculous! They have a ton of pumps, but could apparently could double them and still stay full. I’ve gotten gas there, but only at fluke times where the line is short. My parents used to drive across town to save a few cents on gas at a Costco in Florida. I’m not sure they really saved anything there. I honestly can’t remember the last time I did anything but pay at the pump with a credit card. I’m sure in college I paid in cash, because I didn’t HAVE a credit card. Since I got out of school that’s just what I do. I do see people who come in to pre-pay and tell the cashier “I’ll have $10 on pump five”, and I just assume they only have $10 or they don’t have a credit card. 🤷‍♂️

I remember my older sister got her first car (a yellow Fiat) and took us for a ride. We were going to run out of gas, but found a quarter under the seat which got us a gallon of gas and saved us. . The places that advertise cheap gas prices in BIG numbers, then have small print that says “cash payment” irritate me! I’ll skip the 7 cents off and go somewhere else most of the time.

Sadly, the state of our world has made me almost give up on cooking. A temp of 128.5 would sicken some of my red meat eaters. They needed it back on the grill at 134.5 degrees. They (red meat eaters) are a minority these days. The DIL is a vegetarian. As are her 5 sisters. Her parents will eat chicken and fish, but not red meat. My wife and her tribe won’t do gluten or dairy. Supposedly real reactions for those of middle eastern background. My nieces will do chicken, but not red meat. One will do fish, but the other will not eat anything that “swims in it’s own poop”. A very close friend is allergic to eggs. Another close friend will do shell fish, but not FISH. I loved cooking, but gave up. Let’s go out to eat! Let someone else deal with this $%#^. My parents put food on the table, and you ate it or you went hungry. It was almost always steak and potatoes, both of which I avoid to this day.

I think I was there on a Friday, mid-afternoon and early happy hour. I had my lunch while a bunch of guys were having beers and laughing. All the regulars and staff knew each other well, it was clear. It felt quintessential “Buffalo”. It was awesome!

Serious question: I know my iPhone will cut off if it gets too hot (and I’m told too cold). I wonder if a TV can even work in those temps? The least of my worries (after, ya know, fingers and toes) but your post made me wonder. 🤷‍♂️ Gonna be a shorter than usual pre-game for many, but maybe that’s not ALL bad for a night game. Just arrive safe!

I flew in a few years ago for a Sunday game and made a point of going to Big Tree on Friday or Saturday just because it’s so iconic. I had heard all the old tales, but had never been inside. I’m glad I went, and I’m glad it was NOT on a game day. I can’t imagine a game day, especially on a night with wind chills below zero. Good luck to everyone attending. Proud of our Bills fans and the lengths they will go to to support our team! Prepare, stay safe, make NOISE and help bring home the WIN!

First of all, GOOD FOR YOU getting January on Manasota Key! We lived in nearby Sarasota for 18 years and I did a bit of work on Manasota Key. Not as hyped or expensive as nearby Casey Key, and it seems to have higher elevations (in general) making it a little safer during storm season. The feel of the heat may be related to the humidity, which can be horrific for some people (like my wife), while I happen to LOVE it! (As long as I’m in shorts and a tee shirt, my preferred attire every day of the year!) Florida does everything they can to tax the tourists/part-timers and spare the residents. This means higher taxes on gas, hotel stays, seasonal rental stays, restaurants, park attendance and even some well know speed traps that fund some small towns. One guy got so mad he bought billboards warning people on both side of these towns. I mean, this made 60 Minutes! Hysterical! If you homestead your property your property taxes can only go up like 2-3% a year. You have to be a resident 6 months and a day to homestead, so some snowbirds would give my mother (who managed a resort property) a credit card to buy a tank of gas or something every week and mail the receipts. People can buy from a long term resident who pays maybe $900/year and taxes, but upon purchase it might adjust to $20k/year. I’ve seen that bite some unsuspecting folks on the arse. I left for college when I was 17, so 18 years in Sarasota is the longest I’ve ever lived anywhere. It feels like “home”. My goal is to get back one day, but it’s so CRAZY expensive right now I’m not so sure it will be any time soon. I recently looked at our last two neighborhoods there for listings. Over 1,000 houses, and only one active listing at that time. That is NOT normal or sustainable. A repeat of the 2006 crash may be on it’s way. Google “real estate cycles” and you will probably have 18 years pop up in some results. You can do the math, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all. I plan to be ready!

Sorry, I had to chose between a laugh and a barf, and it wasn’t even close!

Interesting that they show the corn starch slurry there, as they used to have on the website. This thread caused me to check the website and I noticed that they have changed the binder to egg wash. Not sure if that’s because it just sounds easier for people? I will cook beef tenderloin at 134.5 degrees. Odd, I know, but I just got into that habit. Cook it too little and some people will make a face that says they can hear “MOO”. For those people you can always get it more well done on the sear.
