I remember waiting in line for an hour at a store to have them run out before I got mine. You had to check where the tickets were every day because it went from groceries to drug stores to quick marts during the week. I went to a 7/11 at the time they were supposed to be available, only to be told they never got any tickets. This is just as bad but at least you can get disgusted and still have no tickets without driving around town. I remember it being the most efficient when Wegmans sponsored camp, but that was 20 years ago. Might as well move camp BACK to Orchard Park. This fiasco is not "expanding the fan base".

I know what you mean, Jay. We can only hope the team can put all the hype aside and perform at the level they are expected to perform. I have been saying "Wait til next year" since 1967, and that is the only negative. No more hype. Just DO it! Go Bills!

When I go to the app and click on get tickets I get a white screen. This really sucks.

Did the App take you in through Ticketmaster? I got a Promo Code but no Promo Code Box. Clusterf.

Tickets are supposed to be available on the Bills Mobile App today, but I am having no luck.

Just a couple days until the MS Walk in Canandaigua. Thanks to TBD and others, we have been sponsored for $1,150! This Sunday we will walk rain (70%) or shine unless they cancel the outside walk due to thunderstorms. If that happens we will walk in the mall in Victor, NY. Again - thanks to all! Last chance at Family Rocks

Rat singing lead?

So are you voting for best Mom or best MILF? 😎

I wish! Just another bald guy with glasses! 😄

It is AMAZING what ten days can do! With FB donations and Two Bills Drive, Family Rocks! has now reached a total of $1,100 - above our goal with a few weeks to go! Thank you my TBD friends. You are the best! 😃 Gugny Mr. Info JayRubeo Greybeard *Add Exiled in Illinois to the TBD list! (edit 5/10) You can still donate if you would like. See link earlier in the thread.

Wow! Sponsors have hit $595!! From TBD this includes Gugny, Mr. Info, and JayRubeo! Maybe I will hit my goal in a few weeks after all. Thank you my friends. 😉

Gugny and Mr Info are my MS Walk sponsors from TBD. I am grateful to the support I have received. I am at about $470 of my $1,000 goal with a month to go. I have a few other sponsors, not connected to this group. Thank you! 😃

I am consistent.

Now the people in Woodstock, Kingston, Saugerties, and other places an hour or so bus ride to the City are seeing property values rising so quickly, they cannot pay their taxes and many are not able to afford to renew their lease when it runs out and the rent has tripled. We stay in Woodstock for several days with friends every autumn, and we have had to scale down our rental. It is sad for the locals, in my opinion. It is a beautiful part of the Catskills that is becoming suburbia

For me, NYC is memories. It has been close to a decade since I went there. I have always loved going there, though. I I first went to NYC when I was about 19, arriving around sunset just to spend the night tooling around Times Square, Greenwich Village, and soak it in. The place totally blew my mind (this was in the early seventies. I was with friends who knew where to go, and where not to go. Went back a couple years later to go to Chinatown, and later a David Bromberg concert in Central Park. The seventies in NYC was a circus - wild and crazy. We got home to NJ just after dawn. Decades later we went back for a vacation, and had so much fun we went back almost every year. We always stayed in low end hotels on 34th Street, 42nd Street, in the Big Apple Hostel right in the center of Times Square and Broadway, and once in a VRBO condo in the financial district. This was the first decade of the 2000's. We would leave Rochester in the early AM and reach the Lincoln Tunnel in about 5 hours. If we got to our hotel and parked by 7:30 AM, the traffic was little problem. We would then grab breakfast and catch a nap. On the first vacation, we saw the WTC from the Liberty Island Ferry, passed the Statue of Liberty, and went to Ellis Island. Going to a Yankees game was an annual event, at the old and new Yankee Stadiums. As the years passed, we watched things going downhill. We stopped going there before the Trade Center Memorial was finished. The last time we were there we were in Bubba Gump Shrimp under a lockdown and bungled terrorist bombing a few building away. Looking out on Times Square was like a CSI episode: black vans, dozens of special forces, bomb specialists in armor, etc. Luckily it was a failure to ignite a VW bug full of propane tanks. When it was safe we just went about our business. It was amazing how everyone just took it in stride. That did not stop us from going to NY, we just spent our time more with our daughter in Connecticut. I would LOVE to go again one day. I really miss the "free" years of just wandering around the city: Times Square (John's Pizza), Central Park, the Seaport (Pier 17), Battery Park, Chinatown, and Brooklyn. Now I do not know if it would be a fun place to go and stay for a few days. I always said that if I lived in NYC, I would want to be a multimillionaire, with no job to decide my schedule, and I could afford a nice place to live, a driver, and money for all the things the Big Apple has to offer.

TBD has been my single most source of sponsors for well over a decade! This has become a real family event raising over $24,000 since 2003, thanks to the spirit of paying it forward by our many sponsors. No donation is too small (or too big!). We are participating in the MS WALK in Canandaigua as an In-Person OR Virtual Event on May 22, 2022 starting at Sonnenberg Gardens, Family Rockpilewith a one mile and three mile course. All proceeds benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. On a personal note, I was DIAGNOSED with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis in 1994. I know now that I had MS before then, because there were times when things were “not quite right”. I would tire easily, and walk with a slight limp. My vision would be blurry and I sometimes felt like I was seeing double if I did not concentrate on an image. The nature of a relapsing-remitting disease is that it can “come and go”. I am doing well enough that most would not know I have iMS unless I told you! Family Rocks

Eagles. I have seen some great Bills teams and some wannabees. I survived the seventies. I survived the playoff drought. I enjoyed the years they were competitive and I love them today. I have been waiting for an NFL Championship for a long time. IF the Bills win it all next year, it will be 57 years. What is the point of the question again?.

I did not like the half time music, but that is not unusual. There is music I love and music I dislike. A lot of people enjoyed it. "Combined With a total of 21 Billboard No. 1 albums and 43 Grammys across the stacked lineup, this show will be one to remember." NBCDFW

30 degrees with no rain is balmy!

After five decades of going to ice bowl games, and not being a fan of getting home from night games at 2AM, I finally decided a warm couch and big screen at home was better for me!

That would be an option, especially with the late game, if I was traveling alone! If I am lucky I will catch some of the 2nd half on the tube.

Who owns the rights to The Who's songs? Sometimes during lean years whole catalogs of music are sold off and the new owner can use them any way they want.

When various internet chat rooms and sites started popping up and e-mail was something new, I would sign in everywhere I could as "Rockpile". My father was a cofounder of the Buffalo Bills Boosters Club, Inc and we went to quite a few games at the old War Memorial downtown. I had a Bills jersey made with "ROCKPILE" on it which caused me to meet several TBD people at training camp, tailgates, and games. Back in the early days here, we even had e-mail domain names like "rockpile@ twobillsdrive.com"

I was there. It was like the ball was being slapped back at the punter.

I will be on the road from Connecticut to Rochester Sunday, or I would have replied to you or grabbed a cheap seat. THIS GAME CAN DECIDE THE AFC EASTERN DIVISION CHAMP, FOLKS!
