  1. I have a group of friends that all recently bought tickets/airfare to the Maui Invitational basketball tournament in November.  It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen now.  Looks like the group’s alternative idea is to spend the time in Vegas though.

  2. I still listen almost daily.  I watch most of the interviews depending on who is on the show.  I think Howard, and the show, is better than ever.  I love the impressionists he has on the show now.  Chris Wilding doing Dr. Now absolutely kills me.

    LOL. Apparently you haven’t turned a TV on during late Saturday morning/early afternoon in 40 years. 


    I promise I have!  Haha.  I’ve seen fishing shows, but never any hunting shows.  Do they actually show the animals being killed?  This is wild to me.

  4. I haven’t seen either movie, but last night my wife took my 9 year old daughter and 13 year old son to see the Barbie movie.  I didn’t think my son would be too interested, but he was bored so he tagged along.

     

    When he got home I asked him how the movie was, and his response was interesting and kind of caught me off guard.

     

    He was noticeably a bit miffed, and felt as though the movie really portrayed men in a crappy and unfair way.  He said during one point in the movie when the characters went into the “real world” the men were depicted as misogynistic (my word based on his description) pigs…essentially.

     

    He was kind of upset about the whole thing.  Anyway, just sharing the perspective of a very well adjusted, bright, and kind 13 year old boy.  My wife and daughter both enjoyed the movie.

  5. They literally can’t pay officials enough money here in Vermont (I think they’re paying $85-90 per game plus mileage), and having been a varsity lacrosse coach for 9 years I completely understand why.  State regulatory agencies, such as the Vermont Principals Association here in VT, need to implement state-wide zero tolerance policies for fans and and make sure they are enforced.

     

    How they handle it now is by giving a “bench misconduct” penalty to the home team and warn the fan(s).  If it continues they can eject the fan, but I’ve only seen that happen once.  

  6. It’s a big thing in the youth club lacrosse scene.  Started seeing them here and there last summer.  Not exactly sure how they help to prevent concussions, but I know they are very expensive (~$125).  This summer they were everywhere.  I believe the Premier Lacrosse League was one of their first major sponsors.

  7. My mailman has seen me naked at least 4 times.  You see, after I mow the lawn I strip down and throw my sweaty clothes in the washer.  Then I walk upstairs to the shower passing the front door on my way through the foyer and up the staircase.  Sometimes he’s just there.  I’m beginning to think he times it out so he can catch a glimpse.  Worst part is the eye contact.  Very uncomfortable.

  8. We have a really nice public pool in Middlebury.  It has diving boards, water slides, and actual rock climbing walls that hang over the deep end.  My kids love it.  Although there are so many awesome lakes, waterfalls and other swimming spots that we only go there a few times a summer.

    Do those tempur pedic beds that incline actually stop you from snoring? 
     

    we thought we had an ok mattress but the old lady slept like *****. Then we had a custom mattress made and we’ve never slept better. I sleep straight through the night which is something I had never done in my life. Ours was only 2200 bucks or so. Good sleep is worth unlimited money 


    Not sure.  One of the benefits of our arrangement is that my wife chose the guest bedroom which has a queen sized bed.  I stayed in the master bedroom which has a Cali-King sized bed.  I can’t remember the brand, but it was like $4000 when we bought it 10 years ago.  Like sleeping on a cloud.

    Outta business in 1762. We weren't even a country 🇺🇸 for another 14-19 years!

     

    It took Georgia what? Another 100 years and they had to be forced...


    But, but…there was slavery in the north as well!!  So it’s literally the same as South Carolina and Georgia.  😏

     

    I went to the slave market when the wife and I stayed in Charleston for a week.  It was kind of like a farmer’s market with crafts and such.  It was a bit chilling, but overall a very important experience to me being a black man.  Charleston is such a beautiful city, btw.

    I did it for several months because my wife started snoring like crazy 2 years ago.  I didn't like the other bed so I came back and wear ear plugs in bed.


    My wife was wearing ear plugs, and eye mask, and sometimes noise cancelling head phones.  A mouse farting in the next room could wake her up.  
     

    I was always fine with her snoring provided I could fall asleep prior to her really getting revved up.  My only issue was when I would wake up to take a leak or something.  I couldn’t get back to sleep.

    some people love a separate room.  We have a guest room with a bathroom, so when one if is sick, we just move to the other room.  when i'm sleeping by myself, i get the best night of sleep, but after a few days it does get old.

     

    you can possibly get over the snoring.  have you had any sleep studies done?  for mild to moderate apnea, you can have a mandibular repositioning device.  it's really just a set of retainers you wear, and they stop your jaw from resting on your airway while you sleep.  for moderate to severe apnea, you typically want to use a cpap if you can tolerate it.  


    Yes, both of us have had sleep apnea studies done.  The results were negative for both of us, but my amount of “breathing disturbances” was at the higher end of the average range.  I suppose I should have another done, but I didn’t snore as much (according to my wife) after losing over 35 pounds this winter/spring.

    I love the woman but I prefer if I could wake up in the house next-door to her.. And just come over for breakfast

    This is funny.  We haven’t had any problems arranging rendezvouses for some bedroom fun.
