Mowing the neighbors lawn update 5/25
UConn James replied to mead107's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Well that changes EVERYthing!!!! But seriously, if you don't want to do it anymore either for time or non-compensation mixed in with liability, I'd do what mrags said above. Only, I'd just go the hose-mender route because that's a cheaper fix. -
My father is a USPS substitute carrier. Do you know how many papercuts you get when you handle that much mail? After the 9/11 and anthrax stuff, they were provided latex gloves, which would routinely rip/tear after maybe 30 minutes and cause all kinds of annoyances because carriers often need that fine tactile ability that gloves really get in the way of. So... he gets some papercuts. This is a different situation, but still, if it were bleeding *that* profusely... that's something that one should notice and put a freaking band-aid on.

A growing trend in Puerto Rico that Bernie would approve of
UConn James replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Talk about a crazy game of poker.... -
"I'd better not challenge these catches. Don't want to show-up the refs...!"

Is it only me who sees the shoulder pads on these guys and they now maybe they should be a little thicker or extend a little more?

Haven't logged on this week, but I'm now offering my belated best wishes and prayers for Bill and your entire family. Encouraging news. Let's keep that coming!

NFL TV Announce Crews....why so bad?
UConn James replied to truth on hold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I watched the BBC feed of Wimbeldon on the ESPN3 app this year. They went large segments without talking. It was flippin' GREAT!!!! "Don't talk unless you think you can improve the silence." -
Everything should be reviewable. Same number of challenges, but make everything reviewable by the NY league office.

NASA to announce "Major Mars Discovery" on Monday
UConn James replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Uh-ohhhh!!! -
I'm having a hard time believing it was over a chicken
UConn James replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I dunno. Some guys just REEEEALLLY like their chickens.... #Gonzo I visited east TN in the spring and it was really beautiful. It's high on my list of possible destinations when I finally get out of CT.... hopefully within a year or two. But, maybe I'll stick to the less rural areas...!!! -
Rex has "full confidence" in Dan Carpenter
UConn James replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I had spotty reception. Did the announcer say something about DC having ice on his knee? Injury? -
Sounds like the Pats** radio crew crossed the wrong wires while tapping. I wouldn't even use the radios at Foxboro. Just have those big placards like they were using in a college game I caught a bit of during the weekend.

I really want to keep our uniforms red, white and blue
UConn James replied to Howard's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If this is not a trolling thread topic: I'll just interject to note that since the Bills did a uniform redesign... was it two years ago? ... by league rule they are not allowed to do another major redesign for five years afterward. There will not be a radical change anytime soon, and I don't think there will be a radical change anytime in the future. These unis are quite popular. As for myself, I think the black piping is unnecessary, ugly, and about 10 years behind --- but then again that's WNY for you --- but it's not that big a deal. The alternate / '64-'65 throwback unis are very nice, IMO. -
Why do only 47 players dress for game?
UConn James replied to SouthernMan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In the era of sensitivity to concussions, the nature of the game, guys playing with injuries because the position is thin, and for the sake of logic, the NFL really ought to expand the game day roster. -
Windows 7 had become quite laggy on startup on my laptop that I got in 2010. I've kept it up to date and it's still nice enough to do everything I ask of it, so I figured why not. The 10 version wasn't stable for the first few days, but after an update it came to rights. I was fiddling around in settings and problem fixer and it detected an issue with my router / wifi receiver setting that was alternating the signal coming into the laptop that would always cut out live video after a couple of minutes. I watch Bills games on here and in addition to the on-field production the last 5 years, it had been really aggravating to see them line up at the LOS and then cut out. Should be better on both fronts this season! I also switched from Firefox to Google Chrome for a browser. I was reticent to switch at first because I've used FF for a long time, but Chrome is faster to start and has just as many or more extensions / add-ons. I kind of like the start menu tablet-like UI. Maybe it's just me....

I rarely wear socks. My main issue, since youth, has always been the seam line across the toes and how it bunches. Even just THINKING about it now makes me cringe. #HighFunctioningAutism I wear crocs, leather mocs, or go barefoot a lot.

My prediction: It's going to be Tyrod.
UConn James replied to SuperBills12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was the one moving them the best tonight, for sure. Hope he gets the start vs. the Brownies so there can be more comparison against starters, rather than the mixed bag he faced here. I'm not sure if he, like any scrambling QB, can hold up the entire season, but we can darn sure try. -
As I replied on The Facebook to a friend who posted this story: "Looks like someone's really excited about moving out of Connecticut and the prospect of being able to afford to buy clothes."

What type of iPhone cord do you have? The big 30-pin one? They moved to the Lightning charger, which is a small straight plug-in. There's really nothing to damage in there. I upgraded to the iPhone 6 with Verizon last month after having a dinosaur flip-phone and an iPod Touch for awhile. Get the 64 GB because 16 GB fills up fast; they had to order mine from CA and it took two weeks to arrive. I'm used to it from the iPod, but yes, I'm really liking it. What I'm reading they might be doing with the 7 --- removing the menu button and going to a force-touch glass, among other stuff --- makes me sigh a little at the timing of stuff and obsolete-before-you-get-used-to-it, but... it was time.

I forget exactly where I saw it, but at the height of his celebrity, I read from one of his former roommates that when Jared was still size... whatever... that he was SERIOUSLY into hardcore/extreme porn. Kinda sad & sick what some people get caught into in the downward spiral of needing more-and-more-taboo stuff to get their rocks off.

What'm'I, chopped liver? As for myself, I do not imbibe. Maybe a sip when doing beer can chicken to remove some of the liquid to 2/3 as is recommended. But... I've really never cared for the taste of alcohol unless it was very masked (e.g. a capful of peppermint schnapps or cognac in a hot chocolate) and I also have an issue with a med such that I probably shouldn't be drinking. So... I don't. But more power to you guys! Within reason and as long as you're not ahole-drunks or driving.
