Can you burn me a VHS copy?

Got dirt? Oh, I also thought it was ANDY Taylor! p.s. Thanks for the link, Ned!

Baker's Dozen Zinfandel.

I always thought DeRogatis was our punishment for sucking after 1966-67 season (we were the AFL East champs but missed what would have been Super Bowl I), but maybe that was just me. Definitely rooted for the AFL against the NFL since they treated us like minor leagers. Love them or hate them, the Jets and Chiefs made the AFL/NFL series 2-2. I used to want to puke when the Oilers sang that "Number One" song. Remember when the clothesline was a legal hit? I wonder how many jaws Ben Davison broke? Remember having a favorite AFL and NFL team? (Bills/Packers for me). Starr not Favre.... Bart was a team player.

He was almost as creative as Denver's orange striped socks! In 1960, I thought the Chargers were from LA. Brain feeze? I will be wearing my 1962 Boosters Coat all winter. I have a friend who was at the parade in Buffalo in 1959.

Post 23 from Lori -Link: blogs are after the story

My salary exceeds $405 (not by a lot) so I am SOL on state benefits. They let me choose layoff or part time but I wanted to keep working. They are going to revisit this in June, so they either continue it, bring me back full time, or send me packing. That is why I am using my two days off to seek alternatives. I would keep my benefits through COBRA at 35% the cost (thanks Obama).

Wow, Lori - you are popular on that message board.

Indeed! Just ONE treatment I get for MS would cost $2,300/month out of pocket.

Are they measuring your body fat percentage?

Last week my boss came in and let me know because the economy is bad, the orders were not coming in as they had hoped. They were losing money and letting six people go. I have been there twice already since 2006, so I was both happy and disappointed to hear they were keeping me on, but for only three days a week at 60% of my previous salary. It beats unemployment, and I have two days a week to job hunt, but three days a week pay does not pay all the bills. The wife works too and will pick up the slack but between the IRA/401K fiasco and employment turmoil, the last two years are NOT what I had planned for my 50's ! I know, boo-hoo. All the kids are through college. I went to Cozumel and Playa del Carmen in February (it was pre-paid so I could still go). I can cut back on the "extras" and I will be OK. Since I still have my medical benefits I will spend more time in the gym. With some luck I can work on being my own business now. Loyalty and giving 110% to someone who can send you packing on a whim is too frustrating! I feel bad for those of you who lost your jobs completely. Hang in there - it will work out if you are persistent, creative, and lucky!

Last Spring I asked the prize winners to let me know if they actually wanted the prize they won, and got very little response. Last week I found a box in the corner for LABillzFan that had not shipped. I did get replies, and shipped a bunch of stuff, but now I am paranoid I missed someone else. If you are on the winners list, and did not get the prize you won, or missed the chance to send me a yes/no reply PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY. Click on Rockpile, view my profile and send me an e-mail or PM if I missed you. The 2009 campaign starts in about a week and I want to clean the table first! Thanks ============== THE GIFT LIST: Need TWO THINGS from you before I can ship ANYTHINIG! 1. Confirmation that you actually WANT "gift" that you won, before I send it. No sense wasting postage! 2. A PM or e-mail with your current mailing address - some may have changed, a couple were obviously fictional, to avoid MS Society junk mail! LOL!

That says it all!

The year they drafted Nate Clements while we were outside?

Random thought: Madof pleaded guilty and is getting most likely a life sentence. If he hadn't, he and his family would probably been killed by someone he testified against and is now holding a fortune in stolen cash.

Kramer is on right now. Thanks for the reminder.

No doubt!

Aren't we due for a garbage plate? To be honest, I do not watch much college ball (or basketball) except for the Big East and March Madness, but this was fun!

...and for the record, I did not like it, but OT WAS justified. Without replay, it would have been over. Un - freaking - believable game! good night all.

Now the big question is - will 'Cuse have any gas for tomorrow night? Break out the Red Bull!

OT 6 OMG!!!!!!!! How many are still here? Starts with SU 3 pointer!

For those who may not know, Nick and Steve are twins.

I just pulled out the 12 original Watchmen issues. I pulled all the V for Vendetta comics when it came out too. I also dug out reprints of The Spirit but have not read them. Will Eisner was a gas!

I heard she looks like your brother!

Only if your name is Mr. Meaner.
