I saw that they are offering a $30 coupon if you get referred from someone, I think there may be a black Friday sale as well that may save you even more.

I have it, pretty cool for communicating with my son on the west coast, almost feels like you are in the room with the other person. I'm not a big gamer so I can't speak to that. I also use it to "walk around" cities and places I want to travel to. For example, when looking at a hotel for an away game, I will drop myself there, then roam around the area to see what the place looks like, landmarks and shops/restaurants in the area. We also like to try out some of the 360 videos like the Blue Angels or ski trips in the alps.

An ex line chef as a financial guru? Next thing you know we will hear about your amazing ability to open locked trunks..... Seriously, we started in mid 80's maxing out our 401ks and 403Bs, as mentioned before, the power of compounding over the years is amazing. We are just about ready to retire, I have already started my retirement, and we expect my wife to retire at the end of next year. We have had the funds in the Transamerica and Fidelity funds over the years, last year we consolidated all of them to Fidelity with the exception of a portion that had to remain in her current employers Transamerica account. Fidelity is our custodian, and Fisher Investments manages the funds. We are a bit conservative, but Fisher has done a great job for us over the last year. With no new cash in, and only their fees and a small monthly withdrawal we are taking, we are still doing better than either of the various funds we were in would have done. It's never too late to start, a few years of discipline and it will add up. Good luck

I used to work at Mikes Subs in Kenmore, they were such a simple sub to make although initially we just used the microwave, then microwave to melt, toaster oven to finish the crispy sub.

Any ideas regarding parking and tailgate options? We are flying in and looking for options, currently looking at one option provided by a tailgate company around $60 per head, any other options available, any specific areas where we should look? We are staying at the Marriott in Southbank. Amy information for Friday/Saturday parties, please let us know.

I also live on Long Island, amazing how every year they think they are going to the Super Bowl. Hope springs eternal for the green machine -
Josh Allen - Cupping Therapy on Neck
Guffalo replied to Back2Buff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I mentioned that to someone regarding his throws not leading the receiver on a lot of throws. Last year, the ball seemed to be leading the receiver, this year they seem to be waiting for it, as if the ball is hanging up a bit. I didn't notice anything about an injury, but that may be a factor. There were a few that were over the top, but a greater number seemed to take forever to get there. -

9/11 - where were you on the day that changed history?
Guffalo replied to RobbRiddick's topic in Off the Wall
I had been at the TBD tailgate on Sunday before 9/11, flew into NYC Sunday night and flew past the towers. Stayed in Manhattan Sunday night and then went to NJ for a golf tournament, went home Monday night. The next morning was 9/11 and this is what I wrote on the board the next morning (9/12) more as a way to spit it out rather than say it verbally to those around me that night. Until yesterday, I worked at the WTC I almost feel ashamed looking at this board, since football is far from my mind right now, but my home page is TBD... When I was on my way to work yesterday, I was on the #1 express from Penn down to WTC, at 14th a couple got on and said they saw a plane hit the trade center, I figured it was a light plane, and continued on. There was an announcement by the conductor that said "Due to a fire at WTC there will be no service to Cortland ave (in the wtc), I got out at chambers street and started walking..as I turned around to face the north tower I saw people just string up in awe..there was a hole in the tower with smoke and flames, I asked some guy what happened and he said, he saw the plane go in.. and then he said 15 minutes later the other tower exploded.. (we were on the north side so he didn't see the 2nd plane , only the impact) I tried my cell phone (no good) so I tried to find a pay phone , I thought of my wife wondering if I was in there, and just the worry that the rest of the family would have when they heard..I was able to get through to her voice mail, and then I called our office on 36th st ( I am a consultant assigned to 4 WTC since last September). The office wanted me to try to locate another employee, and we started using my cell phone with the two way radio feature. I started looping around to the east of the buildings, trying to find my co-worker, as I walked near the post office, I saw debris and broken concrete, small puddles of blood, shoes ,lots of shoes and I picked up a warm hunk of metal ( I have no idea why) it was almost hot and it was heavy and it was oily or greasy... I dropped it when I saw a wheel or turbine that was 20 feet away, high density aluminum about 6 feet wide.... Using my radio to my boss, I kept chatter back and forth and kept moving towards where I figured Marcia would be (we went through the bombing in 93 and had always said, head for the water by the Seaport). Police were busy on Church so I moved to Broadway by J&R Music and continued the radio chatter with my boss, he said Marcia had not checked in yet, keep looking, he also told me he saw video of the 2nd plane as it went in, he said it had been hijacked as well as the first one, he also told be about the Pentagon being hit. I had worked my way to Nassau street, a pedestrian mall about 3 blocks east of the towers. My radio was quirky, sometimes the frequency was jammed, sometimes you could get through, so I told my boss I was going to keep it on once I get a signal. As I was walking up Nassau I left the center of the street and stayed along the storefronts, I was talking to Doug and he heard me say "Oh @#$%^! something's happening, oh my God something went off", and he could hear the rumbling as the first tower went down, I felt a shock wave and wind rush as I ducked into a doorway (from the narrow street you could not see the tower) I knew that one of them had fallen and I assumed it had toppled over like a domino, not the gentle slide that I saw later. The dust and debris cloud came next as I peered out of the doorway the cloud came east towards the Nassau area, I started sprinting north and got one block, as I looked over my left shoulder I saw a huge cloud of debris/dust coming our way, as we ran I saw a woman fall, someone slowed down to help and they were trampled ( I know I should have stopped, but I was thinking about wife, kids etc, and she went down pretty hard) As I rounded the corner near Beekman Hospital emergency personnel were waving us away I zigged through the waiting stretchers, and headed to the Seaport, I slowed down to catch my breath.... The smoke/debris cloud was covering us with something that was making me choke and burning my eyes, it looked like snow... I started towards the Brooklyn Bridge, but I was afraid that if the other tower went it may drop towards us, so I started to go towards Chinatown. As I was walking I remembered my radio.. the (last transmission I sent was Oh my God and the rumbling in the background) when I finally got through my boss was excited, he thought I was a goner. A woman stopped be and asked to borrow the phone, I told her there were no calls in or out, she then started wandering back towards the site and I stopped her and asked what she was doing, "I have to get my pocketbook" I said that would not be a great idea, and I asked her where she lives, we were going the same way and started walking together, we saw a cab (empty) so we got in and the driver said "I'm only going north" (well hello....that was an understatement, who the hell wants to go back there!!!) In the cab, Doug (boss) confirmed that the tower had fallen, we looked back and saw the new skyline with just one tower standing up. A short time later Doug asked where we were, I told him in a cab, and he told us the second tower just went down, we looked out the back window of the cab as the debris and smoke filled the air in the distance. We were up to the village, and I saw the Empire State building looming in the distance.. I told the driver to stop and let me out, the girl (Valerie) said why get out now??? I pointed to the building/target and said"what would be the next landmark to get hit?? I got out and gave the girl some money for the cab , she insisted on paying me back and made me give her my card ( amazing at a time like this the etiquette thing still remains in some people). I started west to avoid the Empire State Building and went around it to get to our office located 2 blocks north of the ESB. I got upstairs and changed, called the wife ( she heard my voice cracking on the messages and she cried every time she heard news of my progress) We watched the news as others straggled in (Marcia had gotten up there too). Once they opened the Long Island Rail Road, I left and got on and headed home.. I never figured out whose shoes those were.. I am home now, and I suggest the following: Don't complain about doing your kids homework. Say I love you whenever possible Try to keep in touch with your loved ones, Whatever you think is very important today, may seem like a pimple on the ass of an elephant tomorrow.

I have a similar background, grew up watching them as a kid, couldn't understand why we traded Haven Moses, always watched or listened even when they were horrible in the late 60's/early 70's. Hated the dolphins through the 70's. Left after college in 1982, moved to Long Island, would have my dad put the radio to the phone so I could hear Van do the play by play. Kept the season tickets since then. Long Island is 65% Jets fans, 25% Giants fans and 10% "other". Still travel to as many home games as possible, at least one road trip each year. Converted my wife and all my kids are Bills fans, my daughter is marrying a Jets fan next year and to end the father daughter dance we will be doing the Shout song.
