  1. Remember when Carmela Soprano goes to the bank and deposits $9900. When the bank exec says, if it was $10000 the bank would have to inform the govenment. She smiles and says "Oh really," I believe the threshold is now $600 and it is not per transaction, it is for the entire year. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-bank-account-update-change-treasury-10000-dollars/
  2. The first person that came to mind when I read the title was Dennis Shaw. Not that he was so wonderful but IMO Briscoe made him the Rookie of the Year. I swear half his passes were jump balls.
  3. Thanks for the notice. I used Winamp in the past but switched over to foobar2000 years ago. I will have to give Winamp a try again.
  4. One of my favorite Scully calls, although I may not get it in the correct order, despite the fact that I have heard it more than once. " the dueces are wild. There are two men on base, and the count is two balls, two strikes and there are two outs."
  5. If a new Bills stadium is actually built, it will be 3 years late and cost twice the original estimate.
  6. Does that include not leaving any drinks for the lock operator? I think some boaters feel they have to apologize for waking the guy up.🤣
  7. Your first rarity has happened at least twice. Evelyn Marie Adams is an American lottery winner. She won the New Jersey Lottery twice, in 1985 and 1986, for over $5.4 million combined (both prizes were paid in the form of mandatory annuities). Odds were 1 in 17 trillion, or so says a different article,
  8. The MLB all-star game was so good from 59' to 62', they had two of them a year.🤑
  9. Looks like the Led Zeppelin effect to me.
  10. I can't believe everyone gets a journey as grand as yours. As a friend in college used to say, "I am farking impressed".
  11. Is there any propulsion device on the balloon besides the hot air, or did he make that entire journey just playing the air currents?
  12. I sure hope Poleshifter reads this.
  13. What does backed by gold mean? Does it mean for every dollar of XRP there is a a dollar of gold backing it? And if so where is the gold held? I ask this in part because I was a player in SLV two years ago. They say that is backed by silver, The issue is it is not 1 to 1. It could be $1 in SLV is backed by $0.1 of real silver.
  14. Thanks for the reply. I asked because I was wondering if you had a device that would catch that. I have a Kardia EKG monitor which I check once in a while and they say that will catch afib. I know there are also apple watches which will catch it. I am assuming they will catch events much milder than yours. Your description of an actual event is much appreciated.
  15. How did you discover this?
  16. How do I upvote your mother?
  17. It looked to me that she had some surgery that didn't require sillycone.
  18. I don't know if they are my favorites, but this thread has triggered a bit of nostalgia for Lindsay Nelson and Bud Wilkinson, both great college football announcers. On to Youtube!
  19. To a large extent, I always thought the Kinks were an acquired taste. If it wasn't for that little green amp they probably would have had no following at all. Still hoping that Ray is capable of one more tour. The one thing you can say about the Beatles and the Stones is their music has held up rather well. Maybe not all of it, but more than most bands.
  20. How was he going to pass him, drive on the sidewalk?
  21. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all.
  22. What happened to their tails?
