  1. Reading the entire thread, may I also wish the best of luck to the others who have gotten the ax. I know how you feel. Remember - life is a carnival. Recommended reading: Guerilla Marketing For Job Hunters available at the library for free.
  2. Update: I have been busy updating my on line resumes and LinkedIn information. I really do hate not having a job. Christmas and New Years slowed things down, which was OK, but I cannot live on unemployment. Yes, I can drop cable, cancel the cell phone, even kill internet service. But I need to pay the mortgage, eat, have heat & light, and health insurance. My MS meds exceed $3K a month without insurance. I have had two interviews with a small manufacturing firm that has been around for 20 years and will have an answer by Friday whether or not I have the job. It seems like a very good fit between what they need and what I want. I really *aced* the second interview today. We talked and toured the plant and things were quite amicable. First time I left an interview and felt liked I asked alll the right questions and provided all the right answers. At this point I am interviewing them too, since I do NOT want to go to a job just for a paycheck (yet). This can be a challenge and I can pretty much build a new process to boost quality and customer satisfaction. I will leave further speculaltion at that so I do not jinx things. Wish me luck! If it is right, it will happen. Tanstaafl, Rock pile
  3. How did you know my boss was a lesbian?
  4. But we all have opinions.
  5. Sheesh, it was not the 60's, it just seems like it!
  6. Your article summed up my feelings too GG.
  7. I am 55 and have been a fan for as long as I remember. I will be at the opening day tailgate in 2009, and have met some great people because of Bills' fandom. I will look forward to that big hug from you, too! As I said in another thread, the Bills are like crack, so I will be back, but I am getting very tired of saying "wait til next year".
  8. I wonder how many still think the Chargers were not worthy to be IN this game because the Patsies had a better w/l record?
  9. I will still look forward to the TBD 10th Annual Tailgate, but it is hard to be psyched about anything else!
  10. Years ago, the AFC Central was "championed" by 8-8 teams when teams from other divisions had better records. If the shoe was in the other foot, I would be pissed, BUT I would not be trying to change the rules for deciding who is in the playoffs. Also, consider the fact AFC East teams all had pretty easy schedules entering the season. In fact based on 2007 standings, New England had the easiest schedule in the NFL! Stats The Patriots deserve to go home.
  11. I hope that was sarcasm. How the f* do you shop for a new team? "I say, that young Chad is a stunning fellow. I think I'll cheer for Miami."
  12. The Bills are like crack for me. I will watch if The Chimp is the head coach!
  13. Pay him what other over paid pro bowl caliber OTs are getting, get a center who does not hike the ball to himself, teach his QB to release the ball in under 6 seconds, and his attitude might change.
  14. I know that the original post was not designed to begin a debate. I guess when I look at some of the lame text that draws 2,000 views and 10 pages of replies, solely devoted to fans calling fans names, I just wanted to "bump" this because I felt it merited more attention. Dec 28 will likely be a game day decision.
  15. This excellent post drew little response. I guess that is an indication of the lack of intelligent commentary on the wall, given this dismal season. Maybe it is just too sadly true. Anyway, if you want replies you have to call people fcktards, I guess. Depending on my mood I might go to the NE game just to see my TBD friends and tailgate one more time before next season. I am not sure I will actually go *inside* the stadium though. I'll call you this coming weekend about that other thing we were talking about.
  16. True. IF you have a quarterback.
  17. SILENCE! I keel you!
  18. I agree. He really IS a nice kid. When he first came to Buffalo, I was really hoping he was the answer to our QB problems. Unfortunately, that hope died in his second year (at least for me). Also I was really hoping Jauron had gotten it together this year, but that balloon has also popped. This team that I love almost cannot be any worse. Where is Gary Marangi?
  19. Merry Christmas GW, at least you can still laugh. Sigh Wait until next year 41 years in a row.
  20. Maybe one of those teams will take LP from our hands. It is the coaching when you call a play he cannot make 90% of the time.
  21. But you KNEW JP would screw it up. He always does (recently at least). I would not let JP attempt a pass in that situation unless it was a timing play bomb down the sideines. !@#$
  22. I will be watching but the game will not "dominate my Sunday"!
  23. #55 Bennett has GOT to be rare!
  24. Bizarro, for sure. The defective Superman from a square world where doing the wrong thing was right. Me am losing. Me am pro bowl hero!
