    Every time I open page 2 of this topic my browser completely locks up and I have to force a close on it using Task Manager... is anybody else experiencing this? It's not my computer for sure as I'm having the same issue on my wife's computer too. To be clear... this is only happening on page 2 of this topic... nowhere else.

    Good thought. There is what looks like maybe a video from ABC7NY that doesn’t fully appear to me. Looks like something is up with that. 

     

    I had a link/video from TikTok that was auto playing, maybe that is why.  I went back and changed it to a link only, so give it another try.

    I got Covid before it was even officially here. On 12/19/19 we drove for 8 hours down to Florida with a young lady who coughed the whole time. She had just returned from NYC. By Christmas Day I was so sick the wife put me in the back seat and drove 8 hours back to Atlanta. I coughed into February. 

     

    I also believe I had it early.  Some point between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2019, I had what I can only describe as a very bad cold or flu.  Went to the doctor and they ran some tests, but all they could tell me that it was something viral and to just let it run its course.  Took about 2-3 weeks to get over it.

    I worked FT in the office for that whole experience as I was deemed essential (only time in my life lol).  So I had the letter in the car to give to the cops but never was stopped.  We had tickets for the end of the month Niagara Falls Ontario to see Kathleen Madigan  at the casino by the Hilton. Ticket master gave me a full refund no questions asked but the Hilton was kinda  jerks and i was like  i can't go be there if I wanted to the ***** border is closed.  smh

     

    I had a bunch of concert tickets, back when you could still get paper tickets, that had been cancelled.  A few weeks into it, I posted a picture on FB of the ones that had been cancelled and asked if anyone wanted to buy them.  One of my FB friends thought I was serious and asked how much I was asking for them.

    Except that it was Ice Cube and NWA that sang that song, not Ice T.

    He's thinking of Ice-T's hardcore band Body Count and their song "Cop Killer." 

     

    Low is right, I keep confusing Ice Cube and Ice T, and Cop Killer and F The Police.

    wait, will smith, the rapper? He’s an actor also? 

     

    Yea, good luck if he makes it.  You know what would be hilarious? If Ice T were to become an actor and play a cop on TV, after having the song "Cop Killer" be so popular.

    Stand by Me probably the most underrated 80's movie right?  I mean I know it's popular but it's not talked about as an all time great.  It's an all time great IMO.

     

    I have not seen it yet, don't spoil it for me. 

  7. One of my wife's responsibilities for the hospital department she works in, was to buy the swag they give away when doing community outreach and presentations, and the order gets placed October/November for the following year.  So, in 2019 she placed her order of the usual pens, pads etc., except that year she decided to also get the little bottles of hand sanitizer. She had cases of it, thousands of bottles, in her office, when you couldn't find it in stores.  

  8. I work in the healthcare field (hospitals and health care/nursing facilities), so we all had letters to carry with us in case we got pulled over or came across a roadblock, that we were essential and needed to be on the road traveling.  One facility we work with had brought in refrigerator trailers as a temporary morgue. We had a contract with the military because they were preparing to turn the Javits Center in New York City into a temporary hospital if needed, and we would provide some of the equipment. Another facility in Rochester that had been closed was being hurriedly remodeled/rehabbed for the expected patients being transported up from NYC.  

     

    Staying in hotels was interesting, you could have a 100+ room hotel, and only 20 people staying there.  No free breakfasts, or if they still did, it was pre-packaged microwave stuff you would take back to your room.

    I agree, it's not fair. But on the flip side, we in California get to watch the Bills at 10am and already know what happens before people in Buffalo get to watch the game in person at 1pm. 

     

    I was in Hawaii one time, and the game started at 7am there.

  11. @Sweats, imagine dealing with this one on your job site....

     

    (yes, the pictures could be considered safe for work, if your job allows looking at pictures of girls in bikini's)

    Quote

    A female landscaper in Sydney, Australia, sparked mixed reactions on social media by calling out the “double standards” that allow men to work topless on hot days but not women like her. Named Shianne Fox, the tradeswoman is fittingly going by the username “TheBikini Tradie” on social media.  Taking to social media to vent about her frustration, Foxx shared that she asked her superior to take her shirt off while working like many of her tradesman colleagues do.

    Let me see if my math is right.

     

    Total cost for new stadium = 2500 + 1665 = 4165

     

    Old stadium cost = 1249

     

    1249 x 3 = 3747.

     

    So total cost to get a seat in new stadium more than 3 times more

     

    PSL is a one time cost, so you could split that over the 30 years for the yearly cost.

     

    $2500/30 = $83.33/year

    SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities revealed Friday that actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease and showed severe signs of Alzheimer’s disease a full week after his wife died of hantavirus in their home.

    ...

    Chief Medical Investigator Dr. Heather Jarrell said it was possible that Hackman was not aware his wife was deceased in their home.

    and then fans are graciously allowed onto the field to tear down the goalposts and remove chunks of the artificial turf to take back to their man caves!!!

     

    But they will need the field and goalposts for the playoff games.

    Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson are each charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance in a case that gained widespread attention on social media.

    ...

    A doctor with a forensic lab later determined that the combined toxicity of fentanyl and cocaine killed them, according to the probable cause statement.
