if there was ever a reason to ban you - this would be it.

I'll give her your regards....

"Hope Elizabeth May Hoffman born 17 Feb 05 at 8:34pm, weighing in at 8lbs, 2oz, and she is 21.5 in long. Both Mom and Baby are doing wonderfully. Hope started nursing less than an hour after birth. Angelique started having contractions at about 3am, and we were at the hospital by about 6 am. It was a long day, but Angelique and Hope both did great. Talk to you all soon and thanks for the thoughts and prayers."

Well, if you are keeping track of things you are wrong about - you can add this to the list. I'll leave the inappropriate aspect of this thread aside and just address the innuendo. 1. Admins do not read PMs. Never have, never will. 2. There is no admin function to actually do this. The only way for the admins to make sense of the PM's is to log-in as the poster. This is impossible since all the passwords are one-way encrypted. (i.e. there is no "de-encrypter" available.) So, I cannot steal passwords. 3. Only 3 people have access to the raw dB - me, mcjeff (who helped me with some configuration files last fall), and our hosting company. NG does not have this access. 4. To access the PM's - I would have to do the following: a. make a back-up of the dB and download the file. b. decompress this (the dB that was at our last server expanded into a 500 MB text file). c. Pour through 500,000 lines of MYSQL insert statements. d. All posts and PM's have their subject line and message separated into separate tables, so you only have 1/2 the info per one line of code. e. I would then have to memorize the dB scheme to know that column A was the recipient and column G was the sender. f. in those columns are member numbers - not names. I would then have to lookup or memorize everyone's member number in an attempt to follow a message. g. within that mysql insert statement - everything is contained on a single line, complete with raw html/bbc code. That would make for easy reading as I scroll to the right reading code from member 34 to member 4123. h. to find out the date of sent messages - I would need to have handy a unix time converter as all dates are stored in that format. I looked through the old dB ONCE - for AKC and his Foxboro Mike bet - and it was a huge waste of time. I spent an hour and half searching for that friggin' bet. If it wasn't AKC (or perhaps a handful of others) - I would have said no. In fact, I would never do it again and I have had requests to do so. It nearly made my eyes bleed. That is just the mechanics of it. The other half would be why I would want to do that in the 1st place. I barely read 5% of what is posted here and I barely have time to answer my OWN PM's. Anyone who has PM'd me in the past knows about my lack of response time. So, with a fairly new job, a house, a 4 year old and a 3 month old - if there someone in this thread that actually thinks I have the time and inclination to read through coded messages, w/o subject lines from some member number to another member number they are delusional. So, you are correct in the fact that I COULD read PM's. However, due to the dB scheme and the inherent board functions - it makes completely impractical for anyone other than a UNIX guru or a single person to actually pull it off. I am neither. If anyone has concerns about this then PM me.

Dave, do you still have that pic of you and TH and his freakishly small hands?

1918: The Sox win the World Series 1919: The Stanley Cup was not awarded. 2004: The Sox win the World Series 2005: The Stanley Cup was not awarded. Friggin' Boston....

can you imagine the day when ONE of our 1st line forwards could actually make the 4th line or God forbid - the 3rd line - on Detroit?

he got promoted?

actually, you say more in 2 posts than most people say in 3...

the one thing that bugs me on the realism front is the apparent lack of communication between everyone. It looks like everyone is behaving after a month like they did after a day. I would imagine they would all be a lot closer - afterall they could all die together and there is something/someone out there on the island and they just keep ,doing the same 'ol same 'ol.

My crazy-assed mother would make "observations" about pregnant women and how they carried their babies. If the baby was supposedly a girl - she would comment that the woman was carrying the baby in her ass.... I'm not actually sure how one moves their uterus to their ass, but mom was convinced of this little theory.... As for tonight's episode - did Kate only pack her smoking hot clothes for this trip?

just buy some of those RoboSapiens that were hot for Christmas this year and let 'em loose...!

yeah, this from a guy who would rather have a 4 second alarm clock go off in practice, than walk away with an ounce of dignity. His judgement is spot on...

Sure, but he's speaking off the cuff, so mangling words is not unheard of. The guy doesn't think of himself as a backup and certainly not one to a guy who has thrown 5 NFL passes... I don't see what the big deal is.

please.... IMHO, I think the best explanation is that he wasn't going to be a backup for someone who is just starting to cut his teeth in the league as opposed to being behind Manning or someone similar. In other words, "I wouldn't even consider backing up Peyton Manning, let alone JP Losman."...

Must be a CFL thing...

it's not a topic worthy of discussion. people are not escorted out because they hold a certain opinion, which your post implied.

there is his $1M roster bonus on March 1st.

although not the point of your post - it's a tad bogus when they include "2 programs" and "2 souvenirs" in the final cost of a family night out. Who gets 2 programs? I can see the souvenirs if you go once a year, but if you attend a few games I doubt you pick up hats, etc... every time you go. Even then they should have 4 sodas and forget the beer. with that said - the price is ridiculously high to see 1/84th of the season.

I just got an outrageous quote for a walk in front of the house. I always assumed $5-$8/sq. ft. for materials and $10-$20/sq. ft. installation cost. What prices are people paying in your area for brick pavers?

absolutely... I always find it convienient when local govts claim they need to raise taxes to make up for budget shortfalls, but when there is a surplus they raise taxes for those needed new programs. Here in Howard County, MD - they justified a 50% local income tax increase because the Feds gave us a tax cut, so we shouldn't really see any difference...

the problem is the county doesn't provide enough services, so people leave. An influx of new spending progams will attract new residents and businesses.

Bledsoe should be gone for the simple reason that the coaches needed a fuggin' ALARM CLOCK in practice. The sheer embarrassment should have inspired retirement to the woods of Montana at the very least.... The thought a supposed "HOF" QB needing an alarm clock to tell when to throw is about as absurd as it gets.

http://www.twobillsdrive.com/forums/ is, currently, no longer being redirected to: http://www.stadiumwall.com/ as it was before this weekend. I'll try and address that tonight. In the meantime, you may have the former URL as a bookmark and if so, you will appear to be no longer logged-in. Going to: http://www.stadiumwall.com/ should fix that.

I've never really pursued link exchanges very much. Nothing more, nothing less...
