OUCH! I don’t know about you, but that would keep me from coming back!

Well, pretty much everybody on earth has heard of him, so there you go.

Who knows, maybe they were just trying to treat her to a cool ride down the handrail in the 300’s? That makes about as much sense. Somebody had too much to drink and bumped a little girl. Fortunately, there is no mention of injury, so life moves on. As DrDawk mentioned earlier, in that scenario either my wife or myself is holding the hand of our young child. It’s steep and slippery and crowded with people who have been drinking. We are holding our small kid’s hand 100% of the time in a situation like that.

It sounds like Mommy was upset. She might be the least objective person present. I can’t have a strong opinion without knowing what really happened, but I very seriously doubt there was any intent whatsoever to push a child down steps. Might someone have had too much to drink? Of course, but I still don’t know what really happened and I don’t fully trust this 49er fan’s account.

Yeah, like so many other things I want to know more details before rushing off to judge a person or a fanbase.

I carried each section of the tree upstairs. Much heavier than I remembered! After a Home Depot trip and work in the back yard. I’m glad the game is set to record.

Is that tonight??? I’m watching #22 Xavier struggle with a team called SC State. Up 3 with 9 seconds left and just fouled at half court. I’m feeling that urge to vomit, and we haven’t even started yet!

Our DIL is a UGA grad and we live in Atlanta. I was a big McConky fan after seeing quite a bit of him. He’s just a football player. If our roster and needs had been different, I would not have minded finding a way to get him for the slot at the right price.

So, just to be sure I’ve got this right, by “repeat” do you mean start over from the top with eating again, or are you crapping again? Some foods will do that to you. Some vengeful people out there might be hoping your device in the spa about now, but I’m not that kind of person. As far as you know.

Thursday was not the only day to be thankful! I am thankful for that today. 😊 The wife decided after planting in the backyard that she would clean up. We live in a neighborhood where all the outside maintenance is included in the HOA (tiny lots). They send guys several times a week this time of year to blow the leaves out of your yard and to the street where they actually dispose of them. (Blowing them from my yard to your yard doesn’t really work very well in nature.) That sounds pretty cool, right? The wifey decides to tackle the leaves and clean up. I keep reminding her that they will do that soon. I believe the final tally was 7 of those BIG paper Home Depot yard debris bags. Stuffed with leaves the guys would have had blown out of here in the next 24-48 hours. Maybe it was growing up realizing the futility of shoveling in a blizzard? Or maybe an overachiever messed up and married an underachiever. I still like my approach. We still have 4 more hours, I hope she doesn’t decide to paint the house! EDIT: it was EIGHT bags, and I got to carry them all to the road for the trash tomorrow! OR, let the people paid for that do their work. I come in the door breathing hard and she wants me to drag Christmas tree sections upstairs. She’s no slacker, she’s already brought up giant Xmas storage tubs and wreaths. I’m just complaining because I can’t keep up! . .

Well, yeah, there is that. But enjoy your nap!!! 😂

You are earning the Best Nap in Town!

We have about 70 coming to our house for the neighborhood holiday party next weekend. I just finished replacing all the old (dead or dying) summer plantings with winter stuff in the backyard and deck. We still have a tree to get up and all kinds of work ahead of us to get the house ready. They planned this party without checking the Bills schedule, or maybe I’m supposed to be the entertainment. They will show up about halftime, and I already have a bit of a reputation amongst the neighbors. I’ll watch in the basement and try to watch my language. What more can I do? 🤷‍♂️

I USED TO REVIEW APPRAISALS FOR MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA PROPERTIES AND THEY ALL LOOKED LIKETHIS BECAUSE THEY WERE TAUGHT TO WORK FOR SPEED SO PARAGRAPHS AND PUNCTUATION WERE JUST OPTIONS THAT REMAINED IGNORED AND THSI OWULD GO ON FOR PAGES AND PAGES. WHEN I LIVED IN SC WE USED TOSAY THANK GOD FOR MISSISSIPPI BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONLY REASON WE DIDNT COME DEAD LASTIN EDUCATION EVERY YEAR JUST IMAGINE READINGANOTHER 5 PGS OF THIS CRAP! HEY! @Ice bowl 67, Is that you??? .

I was at that Bengals game, and I’ll never forget it! They show you the video they can, because most of the game was just a white out as I recall and that’s cool, but you couldn’t actually see any football! .

I can’t hit the guy in the cart at the range picking up all the balls to save my life, but I would have taken those windows out like a certified sniper! 😂

I think @HOUSE is just in transition now after moving to a new alley. I hope we hear from him soon that all went well. 😊 It’s funny how you don’t notice what’s not there. As sad as it was, I think @WhoTom had best parting message I can imagine. RIP.

I couldn’t personally pick a single song, but Oh Holy Night was the favorite for a guy who used to work for me. Every single time I hear that song I think of Laurence. EVERY single time. Great song, great season, and this is a great thread to get into the holiday spirit.

Again, if they have all the people they need, I just don’t see the need to add to the enticement. I don’t think it’s a “cheap look”, I think they’re just trying to get a job done. I see no need to make it a statement about their generosity. If I were younger and in WNY I’d think about doing it once for a few hours just for the experience. JMO Heck, they even got @plenzmd1 to sign up, and he can shovel more snow than one hundred mere mortals!

For those who think $20/hour isn’t enough, don’t do it. It’s just that simple. If they don’t get enough people, they will have to offer something more enticing. That’s how free markets work. Also, I don’t think money is the only reason people participate in this. EDIT: $20/hour is over $40k/year. That’s not nothing. .

That’s what happens when the NFL tries to own Fridays too.

If our excuses don’t matter, theirs don’t either.

Is that a typhoon?

I think it’s the Dolphin’s turn to feel bad. I’m good with that.

He wants to be the next Michael Phelps!
