If you've been to the Master's, even if just a practice round, color me green with envy. Suntrust Club sounds nice as well.

The Masters has used this model for decades https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2018/04/04/2018-masters-concessions-menu-food-choices-food-prices-augusta-national-109068/ 2018 Masters food menu and prices SANDWICHES Egg Salad - $1.50 Pimento Cheese - $1.50 Bar-B-Que - $3.00 Masters Club - $2.50 Grilled Chicken Wrap - $3.00 Classic Chicken Sandwich - $3.00 Ham & Cheese on Rye - $2.50 Turkey & Cheese on Wheat - $2.50 Masters Blend Fresh Brewed Coffee - $1.50 Sausage Biscuit - $1.50 Chicken Biscuit - $1.50 Blueberry Muffin - $1.00 Fresh Mixed Fruit - $2.00 BEVERAGES Soft Drinks - $2.00 (up from $1.50 in 2015) Bottled Water - $2.00 Fresh Brewed Iced Tea - $2.00 (up from $1.50 in 2015) Domestic Beer - $4.00 Import Beer - $5.00 American Craft Beer - $5.00 (not on the menu in 2015) SNACKS Candy/Chips - $1.00 Peanuts/Crackers - $1.00 Cookie - $1.50 Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich - $2.00 Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn - $1.50

Why is this even a question...YES.

My mother is on in home medicaid. She (actually I) write a check each month to medicaid for all but a stipend of her monthly income. Medicaid then pays fidelis, last I knew $44/hr for Mom's care. Fidelis then pays the company that supplies the aides, not sure of that amount. That company then pays the aides that take care of Mom $11.50 an hour. So, what starts at $44/hr becomes $11.50/hr by the time it reaches the people doing the work. At least in this scenario Medicaid paying the aides directly would certainly seem to make sense. If medicaid paid aides directly, maybe i could get better aides for $22/hr, and Medicaid could save 1/2 their costs.

Often tell people that, but for insurance, health care would be affordable. As an example, I see two chiropractors. Both are two Dr offices. One of them takes no insurance, no credit cards, $40 cash or check. This office has one very nice lady receptionist that does all the file work, payments, scheduling of next appt, phone answering, etc. Still has time to read or chat on the phone or whatever. The other office, as noted also a 2 Dr. office, has no less than 3 and sometimes 4 folks processing paper work. They scramble around with insurance, try to figure out co-pays, filling out forms, plus all the other standard office work of scheduling, phones, etc. Seldom see anyone in the office with "leisure time." I go to the second office only after my deductible has been met. Know what the co-pay is once deductible is met? You guessed it, same as Dr. # 1's standard price...$40.

Building on your opinion regarding medicare for all (single payer, universal health care, call it what you want) I think those that supported the abolition of the individual mandate are going to regret that support. The individual mandate was a key component of the ACA. Now that it no longer exists, the demise of the ACA will happen quicker that it otherwise would have. It will need to be replaced with something. Conservative as I am, I'm not seeing a lot of (actual any) viable alternatives other than single payer that can be instituted quicker and more effectively. Cliches got to be cliches for a reason, most of them are true. Be careful what you wish for (in this case abolition of individual mandate.) This just isn't controversial.

Maybe any publicity is good publicity?

Managed the Wings for a bit in 78. RIP.

There aren't many things you can do to ruin your chances once you've gotten her to the mattress, but a huge brown stain on it is one of the few.

I've had knee and shoulder operations. Got asked at least 10 times which one we're operating on today, they mark the correct one, just don't understand how this happens. I'm sure everyone heard the 1995 story of a man having the wrong leg amputated. When googling it, saw a story about another one that just happened last year (in Russia.)

We had a band play in my brother's lot during the tailgate for the Patriots game. I had them paraphrase the Ohio state fight song that is reserved for when they play Michigan, replacing "Michigan" with "Massachusetts" and "Ohio" with "Buffalo." For those of you unfamiliar with this classic, here it is:

How did that strategy work?

Obviously this genius couldn't figure it out

Didn't bother reading it since I've lived it 8 Sunday's a year for most of the past 40+ years. Having attended the 2017 in Carolina, I was amazed that I waited until the half was done, walked down to the men's room, took a leak, and went back to my seat without waiting in a line.

It's the old story, boys like pornographic pictures of girls, company blocks external websites that contain these pictures, boys decide to upload porn to internal website so they can watch porn at work. The way these geniuses got caught (many of whom I worked on a few programs with) was that the internal server was running out of space way faster than it should have. So, a summer intern was tasked to find out why the server was getting used up so quickly. Then simply tracing the people who were accessing the porn back to their computers. If memory serves (it was back at the turn of the century) those that just downloaded were reprimanded. Those that uploaded or emailed pictures around were fired. Seriously, what do you tell your kids? https://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/07/15/xerox_fires_40_in_porn/

Could be a seen from Beaking Bad That has to be a typo. Like Exiled said a few posts back...85. And a rough looking 85 at that. My 100 year old father looked 10 years younger.

Guess a date leaving a big piece of her salad that covered much of her two upper front teeth for most of the evening doesn't make the cut to be on this thread.

To the OP's point, just took a look at how many former quarterbacks are head coaches in the NFL. Currently 9 of 30 are former QB's. All 9 were either career backups, never played after college, or played in lower tier leagues (CFL, Arena, etc.) Frank Reich probably had more career starts than the other 8 combined. Guess carrying a clipboard pays dividends in the long run!

Fixed. Dumbest game in all of sports.

Even Ditka could have won the super bowl with that team.

Actually if you go to page 12 of the controversial opinion thread I quote someone who says global warming is fake news and say pretty much exactly what you say here, global warming is fact not fake, what is debatable is if it is man-made or naturally occurring phenomenon. I go on to say that regardless of what side of the debate you support, it won't hurt to decrease one's carbon footprint. Was just kidding here. But I shouldn't have done that as it is a controversial subject, have deleted that post. see comment above...deleted

Golic was describing how the coach asked Reggie White to explain how he had done something to shed a blocker (not sure it was something he did in practice or watching game film.) White began to explain his move, then through his arms in the air all frustrated and said I don't know, I just do it.

No reason you would have heard this. Fenton and one of golf buddies are good friends from the days when their kids played hockey for UMass. They became good friends, still vacation together in the off season, gets my buddy tickets when they're playing in town, all that stuff.
