  1. Another thought: We took a vacation to Cabo San Lucas in January. It was pretty cool. There weren't pyramids or ruins to go look at, but it was relaxing and we were able to steep ourselves in the Mexican culture a bit. Not to mention ATV riding on the beach, which was awesome. And the delicious mexican breakfasts. Mmmm.

  2. the guy gave us his all. He just wants to move on, and i cant blame him. Damn leave the guy alone. He has alot of heart for the game. I hope he does well where ever he ends. I'd like to see him turnaround Zona.

    I agree. A couple of 1200+ yard seasons, especially when injured, is great. I hate his whining, but he was a good Buffalo Bill!

  3. Thanks. That is something we're taking into account. The St Lucia Sandals is couples only.  We're looking at things to do off the resort as well.

    OK - then go to the US Virgin Islands. Jamaica is nice, we have been there 3 times, but the off-resort stuff is kind of not nice. Not as bad as Mexico, but still pretty nasty.

     

    We loved St. Thomas when we were there. We went off the resort all the time, and it was great. Took a ferry to St. John which was AMAZING and went on some very nice tours. We also took a kayak tour of a mangrove lagoon and it was wonderful.

     

    I don't remember the name of the place we stayed for our honeymoon in St. Thomas, but it was nice.

  4. Sandals is widely known as the McResort of the islands. I know people that like them, though.

     

    I’m getting married in late July and am currently trying to plan the honeymoon. We are pretty sure that we want to go to a Sandals Resort in the Caribbean. Nice beaches and good food are our two main requirements.

    Has anyone here been to any Sandals down there? I’ve checked out some Web sites that post reviews and such, but I wanted to ask here if anyone has any firsthand experiences — good or bad?

  5. A federal drug agent shot himself in the leg during a gun safety presentation to children and his bosses are investigating. Here's the video

    Ouch. On one hand, that guy is one tough dude. Second, what the hell was he talking about? And how the hell could he bring a loaded gun into a room full of kids, even if by accident?

  6. Actually, he's not that type of person at all. 

     

    I know him and while I don't agree with everthing he says, I do respect his ability to say it.  Sometimes I think he's right and other times I disagree with him.  He's not some perfect know it all but by the same token, he's not the devil's spawn either.

    Like I said, I'm only judging by my own personal experiences with him. The e-mail exchange was not cordial, and neither was he.

     

    I can disagree with someone's article, but can also respect the ability to say it. There are plenty of journalists I disagree with but still respect their ability.

     

    He has precious little ability from a journalistic or editorial standpoint. Refering to a starting QB as "humpty" isn't professional or worthy of respect. Referring to Donahoe as "Commander Tom" is neither witty or worthy of respect. Utilizing three question marks (???) in an article is a grammar school no-no.

     

    He may not be the devil's spawn, but the only interactions that I've had with him both in reading his "articles" and via e-mail show me that he is.

  7. Linky.

     

    Credit given for taking a stand, giving opinions.

     

    But....for instance:

     

    Wahle was signed for 'non-silly money'?  :blink:

    I wish I saved the e-mail exchage I had with this guy at one point. He's an idiot. He wouldn't support his own assertions.

     

    He's got such an axe to grind with Donahoe he is incapable of writing anything that resembles fact. Plus he's an !@#$, to boot. Given our e-mail exchange, I would have no problems punching him in the face if I ever saw him. He's the kind of guy who enjoys stealing parking spaces from old women. He's the kind of guy who enjoys cutting you off if you're in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.

  8. Fixer upper. You're always going to need to do work to make a house "yours". It's just a matter of how much, not "if".

     

    We bought a house well within our price comfort zone, and I'm so damn glad we did. As it turns out, a year and a half later my job was eliminated at Kodak. My wife works, and we were able to survive quite comfortably on quite a bit less than we were used to.

     

    Knowing now that we can do it one one salary is a giant relief, and makes life much less stressful. But that's just me. I'm not a big fan of financial stress. We came through that trial with our saving still intact.

     

    We still live in a great neighborhood with a great school district, and in 3 years of work and a desirable location, our house has appreciated 35%.

     

    I also know people who have split the difference. They bought something in between pristine and a semi-fixerupper very close to our house, and have been able to make their house look phenominal in a very short period of time. Maybe that's what you're best bet is.

  9. I hope he's looking to upgrade that part of the game. In Buffalo's weather, a good kicker can give you the edge over other teams that aren't accustomed to the swirling winds and cold temps.

     

    I'd like to see a better kicker for sure. I know lindell improved, but IMHO not enough. I want a guy who is automatic. I hate seeing Lindell line up because I don't think he's automatic.

     

    He sounded to me like he was defending Lindell on the BB.Com (ask the g.m.) segment last week. I figure that he was trying to save face on his decision to bring him in here! I do recall whenever I was researching RL on the Seattle site that part of the reason that they dumped him was although he posted decent numbers he ultimately was the anti-vinatieri as far as coming through in the clutch! I just hope whatever camp fodder we bring in to compete against him seriously kicks his ass in every kicking category and we dump this joker!! :doh:  ;)

  10. I can't help you with the external HD. I made my own. Bought a small case and put a drive in it. Much cheaper that way.

     

    I have a D-Link DI-624. Works well. Setup is via http interface, so it works with macs, linux, windows, BeOS, Palm, etc. Range is quite good, and my house 70 years old and is all plaster & lath. Not the easiest stuff to get through. It has all the security you need, and even has a DMZ if you want it. I returned a Linksys to get it because the range on the linksys stunk. I have no problem with range - even to our deck in the back.

     

     

    OK, I've read enough circle jer... err... reviews and my eyes are bleeding.  Don't buy this it sucks - buy that!  Don't buy that it sucks - buy those!  Don't buy those they suck - buy this!

     

    What the frig....

     

    I need:

     

    External HD:  Firewire needed, USB2 desired.  180-250 GB.  Will be used for backups.

     

    Wireless router: Mine lacks many security features and now I'm paranoid.  Needs to have WPA and a good reputaton with working with macs.

     

    Any suggestions?

  11. Here is the number for the Fairfiled Inn:

     

    Fairfield Inn Rochester East 

    915 Hard Rd, Webster, NY 14580 

    585-671-1500

     

    Todd - where do you work?

    280147[/snapback]

     

    I work at a small company that does IT work for various associations. We're to the left of the Dunkin Donuts in the building with no sign.

  12. I know there's a cheap one, either a Comfort Inn or Super 8, but I'm looking for something a little more upscale. Anyone in the area know what's there?

    280107[/snapback]

     

    There's a Fairfield Inn. It's OK. Better than Super 8 or Comfort Inn.

     

    Actually, this close to the lake there's probably more bed & breakfasts than hotels.

     

    I work in the Village of Webster, BTW.

  13. And you are the most useless individual posting here.  Going to move to Dallass to be with your boyfriend Bledsoe?

     

    :unsure:

    Oh come now, laddie! Was that appropriate or warranted?

     

    Anyway, in no way do I find Bledsoe attractive. :doh:

  14. (extreme sarcasm to follow :doh: )

    Na, to each their own. Todd's jealous he’s not Irish. He may need counseling for his feelings. He truly would like to celebrate, but its kind of a repressed anger kind of thingy. Or maybe it’s a Polish Italian thingy, not sure.

    Oh, and thanks for the congrats. :unsure:

    278590[/snapback]

     

    Actually, it's because I'm not Irish AND because my car only has a 4 cyl. :-)

  15. Folks protected by electrons tend to be the bravest of the brave and the toughest of the tough. There is no limit to their venom and indignation. Didn't you know that? :w00t:  :D

    278476[/snapback]

     

    I am neither brave nor tough. Nor did I insult anyone purposefully. So there. :doh::D

  16. haha........unbelievable........okay, how is this..........

     

    obviously the majority that responded to this thread?

    Your assumptions are wrong. You actually are assuming that I think it's good that we didn't sign the guy. That's false. I am reserving judgement until I have more information - such as if we even made him an offer.
