It seems most of us (yours truly included) are enthralled with threads about TV. Right now, of the first 21 threads of OTW, there are 7 separate threads about TV shows, 4 more about TV personalities. Any of the Hot for Teacher threads are my favorite.

Guilty. Mind corrects these things automatically. While we're on the subject, how many of each animal did Moses take on the ark?

So yeah, what CWater 10 said on page 1. They were called Cliff notes in the 70's, when did they become Coles notes?

And why do these articles keep referring to the teen boys as victims?

Probably a good guess. Spent the last 15 minutes researching on the world wide web, Joe Horn was the only WR name I could find that had any real success in the NFL following the CFL. Was interesting to see that Fred Biletnikoff and Chad Johnson (Ocho-Cinko) ended their careers in the CFL. Remember seeing a CFL game with former first round Bills pick Perry Tuttle five years after his NFL career had ended.

Yes but I never watched 90210, Riverdale, or soap operas.

26 seconds...26 seconds of my life I'll never get back

My thoughts exactly about Wade. Who would have thought almost 20 years after his firing we would refer to the Wade Phillips era as the good old days? I liked the energy Fewell brought but there was a play where a pass got intercepted that T O could have easily prevented but instead he just gave up once it was clear the pass was under thrown. Then walked right past Fewell on the sideline without a word. Thought Fewell should have been in his face. Just remembered not being nearly as enamored with him after that.

I thought so to but this guy was drafted in the second by Cinci. Jake Long was #1 overall in 2008, Eric Fisher out of Central Michigan was the #1 overall pick in 2013. Jake Fisher combines both their names which may have caused our confusion.

Yes that is correct. Here is the thing. Don't know how familiar you are with "the system." Have you heard of the five year look back? To qualify for in home medicaid, there is no look back. The five year look back pertains nursing homes. So, if you put your father's assets into an Irrevocable Trust today, on March 2, 2024 a nursing home won't be able to touch them and Medicaid would take over the payment to the nursing home. However, you would be able to apply for in-home medicaid tomorrow. At 90 your father will only get worse and need more help. Six years ago my father (then 95) had a stroke and overnight my parents went from "more than the sum of their parts" to, not twice the problem, but the problem squared. Talk about a life changing event. Anyways we kept them both at home. First 3 years we went through almost 100K per year on top of their pensions and SS income. Then my brother researched the in-home medicaid thing. Long story short we have broke even the past two years, plus when one of us fills in we get paid $11.50/hr. You need to start by talking to an estate attorney and put your father's assets into an irrevocable trust.

Since this led to his firing, I'll just add that Wade never should have been fired and would still be the head coach today if he hadn't been.

Never heard of it, will have to check it out.

Not to change the subject (actually that's exactly what I'm doing) but I hope you know that you can get paid for this if you're keeping him at home.

Sports Night. Ran for just two seasons. Won a lot of awards including Best Actress in comedy series, Best New comedy series, Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy series, and Best Show You're Not Watching. There was even some talk of cable picking it up which the writers parlayed in to the script...never happened though.

Coach. Was psyched that it was going to be brought back, bummed when it got cancelled before it ever was.

Refer to pg 1, stadium wall. System down starting at 2 today. Probably started with some background activity first that didn't require taking the whole thing down.

Dexter - last season was weak. 6-8 weren't that great either. Blindspot has been really weak this year. Someone pointed out in another thread he thought the writers intended for season 4 to be the end of Breaking Bad but it was brought back for season 5 due to popular demand. No matter, really enjoyed season 5, thought the ending was great.

Without googling I'm going to say 15th overall to Seattle. Will edit if wrong. I was wrong, mark the day and time. 14th to the Rams in 2011. I was thinking of Bruce Irvin, 15th to Seattle a year later.

Been counting since you posted this yesterday. 11,312. Plus whatever has come in since 12:58 PM yesterday. Maybe I should have deleted as I counted, most of them are useless. Oh well, like the saying goes, hindsight is always 20-20.

Darn, I would have gone shopping tomorrow instead of today if I had known. Do have some running around to do in the morning but I'll just put it off until 2.

Did you watch season 3 of Twin Peaks? Uses real time and picks up 25 (26?) years after season 2. Reviews were excellent, some publications named it the best TV show of 2017. Much as I loved seasons 1 & 2, I stopped watching season 3 half way through the second episode. Guess my mind just isn't in the same place as it was in my 30's. Who would have guessed?

Breaking Bad was the show that crossed my mind when I saw the topic. A few months ago I started a topic about best / worst endings to shows with more than one season. Breaking Bad was my choice for best ending. Absolutely loved it. Ending that final episode by playing my favorite Badfinger song in its entirety was icing on the cake. That being said, almost as many chose it as the worst ending as the best. Also liked that every time it started to put some humor the meth lifestyle, it showed the horrors. Dexter was my choice for weakest ending for what it's worth. Currently, Blindspot is getting very weak in what I assume will be its final season. Still enjoy Blacklist, though the ending will likely be a letdown as well.

Skyway gives me heebie jeebies even in good weather
