  1. "Oh baby, you are so talented, and they are so dumb!" -Sheriff Bart.
  2. I left in 1970 for better job opportunities. When I left, BUF still had a solid industrial base, but now, that's mostly gone. A lot of people left before and, maybe more after me, for the same reasons. So now, I hope to retire in early 2016, and would not move back because of the NYS taxes. Along the way, I have lived in Texas for 4 years and Washington State for 20+. They have no State Income Tax BUT, they get it in so many other ways; car taxes, sales taxes, property taxes etc., that I don't see the lack of a State Income Tax as a big incentive when considering a move. I always see the NYS IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS ads on TV. They may be open for business, but not for individuals. So BUF takes it's knocks in the article but if you look at the cities that are "good" places to retire, I'm not attracted to very much there either. Guess I'll stay in Virginia! .
  3. This is why the NFL is always looking for options outside the USA. Few places are interested in building/financing a stadium, and they're running out of options. LA has never been a proven long term supporter. There's a lot of money there but the people who have it don't care about an NFL game. I'm sure the league was relieved when the Bills situation was "settled."
  4. Considering that every fat as* in the world has Handicapped Parking, parking will be difficult.
  5. Considering today's young people, I don't think we could ever do anything close to D-day.
  6. It would be a much bigger deal, for me, if the BILLS were first. If that happened, we control our own destiny in each game. If the Sabres sneak in, as the #8 seed, and get swept in the first round by the #1 seed, that's not so satisfying.
  7. I have to be Gluten Free, but I told my wife that if I ever get anything terminal, to take me to the Waffle House, so I can die quickly.
  8. Was if a full bottle, or partially "deflated?"
  9. Are they "electronic," in case you lose it, or die but don't have your wallet with you?
  10. So, what's his Son's name??
  11. The only people "hurt" by that are those that traveled thousands of miles to see/honor the memorial, and those buried there, and couldn't, because the hospital ship just creamed the dock where the shuttle boats arrive/depart. So, nobody was injured, and that's good! The Arizona Memorial straddles the ship, at about a 90 degree angle. It does not rest on, or touch the ship. But, take away the only point where you can enter/exit the memorial, and you get to stand on the shore and point towards it. Not quite the same!
  12. I was diagnosed as Celiac in 2001. So I'm Gluten Free, not by choice, but by necessity. No Beer, Bread, Pasta, etc. (no wheat, oats, barley or rye) I spend a lot of time reading the fine print (ingredients), and quite honestly, the contents in your proposed product would immediately put me off! I wouldn't even be tempted to try it. Anything with insects, seaweed etc.I avoid, and I don't care how "good" it will be for me. Gluten Free products have come a long way since 2001. If you decide to do this, plan on doing business in California, they will eat anything! WNY, not too much! If you go the California route, try to get Costco etc. to carry the product. Your margins will be low, so hopefully you'll make it up on volume. No matter what, best of luck!
  13. Re. LA, that's exactly right, AND they can't fill a stadium in LA for the NFL. Bull fighting has a better chance in LA. Germany? The NFL Europe didn't do well there, so why consider that again? Brazil? Oh great, an NFL game being broadcast in Portuguese. What a crowd pleaser, but the halftime shows could be very good.
  14. OK the weather is a consideration BUT do they ever sanitize those things?
  15. Your wife is right again! Kyle
  16. It's always 3PM somewhere!
  17. I did, but she does not have BARE ARMS!
  18. Other than the fact that it's the off season, why would we even care? The BILLS have cut better players, and we don't seem to track their subsequent moves, unless they later play, and are successful, against us. So far, no CFL teams are included in our schedule.
  19. VA is not bad for retirees. Va does not tax your Social Security. That may or may not be a big deal for you but it needs to be considered.
  20. What's up with the old hatchet wound between the eyes?
  21. Too late to "Lawyer up." All the good ones are already working for the Pats.
  22. So, the precedent has been set. A fine to him, would be meaningless. How many people in the organization knew about this, but did nothing? Brady should be disciplined, but so should the organization.
