I couldn't remember if it was Puerto Rico or Mexico I believe the plan would be done or maybe retractable roof similar to Toronto, but I don't recall them releasing anything official. I doubt it will have a removable roof like their old one which can come off with a crane (or just wait till all the ceiling panels fall off.....)

George Carlin's Top 10 Rules for Success

I do? -
This is just the first step in moving them to Montreal permanently. The original Expos split a bunch of games (in Mexico?) in their final seasons. The Rays are done in Florida. There is little support for them even when they are competitive, and there's no way they get any government funding for a new stadium after what (former Expos owner) Loria did to get them to pay for the Marlins stadium. They will get to play half their games in Montreal (in the crumbling dome that's about as nice as Tampa's Dome) and when the new stadium is ready in Montreal they relocate permanently . Montreal has an ownership waiting, and they are ready to start building a new stadium, MLB already told them that they would be next in line once they have the new stadium. Fans have shown in Montreal they want the Expos back. They were only moved because Loria screwed them and their support dropped when everyone knew they were gone. I think the biggest problem today in MLB is that most teams need scaled back stadiums. They need capacities closer to hockey rinks of 15-20k then football 40k+. Only a few teams could support large capacities over an entire season.

And then have millions of hipsters who may not have been around when you were performing continue to quote (and often times misquote) you acting like you were some great genius mind. Listening to some of his stuff now, I find a good amount of it to be overrated. -
What's the first one of these that you used?

I believe my parents bought us a Tandy RLX 1000 from Radio Shack as our first computer. We played games having to constantly switch disks to keep going since my dad refused to let us load them onto the hardrive and waste space. -
You win....... Loved watching Letterman go off a little on him when he said he never voted before and how that shouldn't matter He likes to use the "I have a mental illness" to excuse anything he does. Them too As much as I hate all Boston Teams, he is probably the only one that I can stand or tolerate, hes never really pissed me off.....

I think they filmed part of that show last year or the year before in St Catharines (Port Dalhousie) area, supposed to be filming a beach/vacation part there I think. Remember they closed off areas for about a week to film some stuff in the parking lot near the old pier off Lake Ontario -

In the market for a new truck need help

The Fords have a step with a handle that comes out of the top of the tailgate, that one looks like it could be used also as a seat for those not tall enough to sit on the actual tailgate. Originally I thought about going with the extra warranty on it because of all the "Bells and Whistles" and electronics on these new trucks. I loo back at my first truck (first that ran and I used as a Daily driver) a '98 Dakota regular cab and there was nothing to it besides the electronics needed for the computer and Fuel injection -

Dump runs, lumber and materials from the hardware stores, hockey (goalie) equipment Don't worry, My truck gets used for more then just a kid hauler, Its why I wasn't allowed to get a 4 door Jeep instead of a pickup. We already have a Santa Fe for just going places with the kids. last weekend I did a dump run for my uncle and picked up a bunch of building material for him. The last thing I did with my old truck was haul a full box load of branches to the dump from my moms house, then immediately went to the dealership and picked up my new one. Toyota Tundras? -

No, I mean it's on my list with the other 2 series that I plan to start watching, lol I'm not comparing them as being the same... Gonna start watching Jessica Jones season 3 soon, then soon after Stranger Things will be on to watch. Would like to start watching a couple shows on Amazon too, plus maybe Ozark -
In the market for a new truck need help

Well, a few weeks ago I drove by the dealership and saw they had gotten in a Gladiator, stopped to check it out and here in Niagara, it was over $53k for a base sport with a few options, over $65k for the Rubicon they also had. So since Jeep just priced me out (and probably many others since I have yet to actually see one on the road) I started looking around at other trucks since my wife then ruled out me just getting a used 4 door Jeep right now. I looked at a couple year old Titan (figured Nissan would give me the best trade in for my Frontier) but didn't like the gas mileage or that the turning radius sucked as bad in it as my Frontier. Always hear good things about Toyota's (although I'm hearing less recently and that they are getting worse), but they are just as expensive as the Jeep for a Tundra (Tacoma's, Rangers, Canyons are too small like my Frontier). Honda's Ridgeline didn't do anything for me and price wise weren't that great. I checked out the GM trucks but found they were too pricey and not great on gas, plus reliability didn't seem that great. That led me to Ford, I have only owned a used Exploder (the engine exploded in the first month I had it due to the timing chain guide breaking). The price for an F150 was affordable, I started researching the EcoBoost and found mileage was better then my Frontier and decided to check some out. I went to the dealership to test a XLT Super Cab (extended) which was big enough for hauling 3 kids in the back. The one I was supposed to test was sold and the second own they were supposed to have they couldn't locate so I drove one with the upgrade power/chrome/navigation package. Both my wife and I liked it so I went in and they convinced me I would be approved for the additional financing (already approved for financing through Ford on the other cheaper model) and could pick it up in 2 days. Find out the next day the bank didn't want to agree with them so they set off trying to find me a similar one to the one I was originally looking at. They found one without the tow package (don't typically tow anything) but had the centre console instead of third front row seat, plus added a box liner and running boards and got it cheaper then the original one I was looking at. Pickedit up this weekend and it's been great so far. Kids can buckle themselves in the back with the extra width, Leg room is the same in the back as my 4 door frontier. Gas mileage is as good or better with better torque and horsepower with a 2.7l EcoBoost then my 4l V6 in the smaller Nissan. They gave me a little more then the average/middle range of the trade in book value for my truck too. My wife's not a huge fan of the colour, Magma, she thinks it's brown, but it's more of a very dark red/black colour. I like it though. It does take a little getting used to the bigger ride. After testing the other truck and getting back into the Nissan, I felt like my wife was so far away in the passenger seat of the F150, and then on my lap in the passenger seat of the Frontier. -
My birthday also happens to fall either on or very close to father's day every year and I don't like to celebrate things like that. My wife had my family over for a BBQ for my birthday on Saturday and on Sunday we went to her mom's for a BBQ for Father's Day. I typically plan my weekends to try and get projects done around the house because I can't get stuff done after work on weeknights usually. I don't mind having family over or going to see family, but my wife will still complain about wishing something was done around the house, lol. I also hate gifts and tell people not to get me anything. If I want something I get it myself and it comes up all the time cause either my wife complains cause I buy something around a holiday (bought new boots a few years ago cause I needed some, found out she bought me a pair that were from her mom to me for Christmas, my sister this year bought me a book that I already bought a few weeks ago when it came out). Some things I can buy that I know no one is getting me, like my new F150 I bought and picked up Saturday morning at the dealership. I think of the majority more as children......

Some people might just look at that as being lazy and not wanting to have to go out and pick them up..... When I was that age, I biked across the entire city I lived in home from a baseball practice after taking a line drive between the eyes because my mom was working and couldn't pick me up.

Lions cut TE Roberts after trade with Pats is voided
apuszczalowski replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yup, a first rounder....... I wonder sometimes if a team would ever have someone in and during a physical if they see something small that they will tell that player we are going to fail your physical, and if your team cuts you, we will sign you immediately. I wonder if the Lions would have the ability to dispute the other teams failed physical? So if the Pats fail a guys physical that they just traded for, the Lions could come back and dispute the report and have him checked out by a third party? You would think the NFL would have a third party doctor working for them to do the physicals for deals instead of the teams doctors. -
From what I read, Patriots didn't want to lose him and want to keep him. They spotted one of the executives from the Texans talking to him at their ring ceremony (Texans executive was there to get a ring for his time with the Pats I believe) and the next day the GM was fired. Pats decide they can keep him around in this case by threatening tampering charges and the Texans back off and won't hire a GM for this season. It sounds like he was definitely their guy, the other reported interviews were sham token interviews and there's a way they can get who they want next offseason so instead of just hiring someone to keep the seat warm, they will just leave the position open til next offseason when they may also need a new coach.

My favorite, just rewatched that entire series a few weeks ago.

Maybe Bills fans should be offering to help Toronto fans with this? So it's deplorable to cheer when another teams player is injured in the game, but it's ok to start chants and cheer when the player is not an opponent that day and is Brady Beers should not be thrown into the field or playing surface after a bad call is made in a heated playoff game. Fans should only throw 'adult toys' on the field during regular season games after a regular play has completed Fans of all teams have idiots who give the franchises 'black eyes' for a few days because of dumb things they do (usually after spending the entire game drinking). It gets even worse in the playoffs and championship. In GS one of their investors/owners shoved a Raptors player when he ended up falling into the crowd.

How to "win" the lottery
apuszczalowski replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Today once they see you starting to win a bunch of times, security would be coming over to watch and probably hail you out for suspected cheating.... I worked with someone here in Ontario that said he knew someone really well that worked for the government in the lottery, said that now that they don't use the balls in the bowl machines anymore, it's all computerized to randomly pick the numbers for each draw. They also can control when a winning ticket will be drawn (but not who or where) which allows them to control the jackpots. I don't know how true it is, but I have noticed that around holidays (right around Christmas when a draw is being held) there's always a large jackpot that gets won right around that time (makes a great story seeing someone win big for the holidays) along with when they are trying to promote something. They just added a draw on Tuesdays now to one of the bigger lotteries here and upped the max jackpot to it. Next Tuesday the Jackpot will be the highest it's ever been, and I won't be shocked if no one wins it until then (also makes a great promotional story to see someone win the highest jackpot on the new day they started having draws).
