Yes, what could go wrong...the first thing that came to my mind was the woman who had her face torn off by the chimpanzee.

Ditto! Season 2 will be later in 2019. Creative ending to Season 1.

Yes, lots of great music in the area. I don’t live on the southside (we live in Ashland) but in the last few months have been to shows on the southside like Crossroads Coffee to see good bands. Also will add The Broadberry in RVA to the other places @plenzmd1mentioned. Going to DAR Constitution Hall in DC fairly soon to see Saucerful of Secrets and Gypsy Sally’s to see Grateful Shred. Have journeyed up a few times in the past couple years to see shows at the 930 too.

@Gugny & @Chandler#81 Just curious - a friend is Lindy Fralin and wondered if you (or your son) use his pickups? https://www.fralinpickups.com/ Lots of well-known guitarists have purchased his hand-wound pickups. I was with him when Derek Trucks called with a free ticket to Lockn Fest to meet with him when he was playing there.

It’s hard to believe this occurred in Florida.

I just counted and have 131 apps on my phone. There are some I never use which I should remove and there are some I use infrequently. These are the ones I use fairly regularly: Banks (Wells Fargo, Chase, Citibank, Fidelity) Travel (Uber, Lyft, Airlines, Hotels, Airbnb, Waze, Google Maps, Amtrak, FlightAware, Avis, Mobile Passport) Amazon, AT&T, Directv, ESPN, YMCA, USAA, Pandora, LinkedIn, USB Disk, Twitter, WUndeground

Just FYI since I live near #RVA & have to give the homies a shout out. The Martin Agency in Richmond, VA has been Geico’s longtime marketing partner and has created the talking gecko, cavemen, and many of the ads.

I work in big pharma r&d but not in the field of insomnia. I use the results of reviewed clinical studies for the basis of recommended treatment. I will also acknowledge that the placebo effect is real. Having said that, the best literature review of CBD & Sleep that I found: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28349316/ (NIH, 2017). Quoted from the Summary “Research on cannabis and sleep is in its infancy and has yielded mixed results.” Imo, a doctor telling a patient that it works is irresponsible without conclusive evidence. But perhaps he/she knows of results that have not been published. I am aware of more ongoing active studies with CBD & sleeplessness but I have been unable to find these results published yet.

When the OP did not identify the company, my prediction was Asea. They are selling salt water as a panacea to correct a multitude of health problems. Their marketing group is very careful about the claims they make but their seminars, media, & material is well developed. It is amazing to me that people would believe salt water could cure anything. But they are many desperate people and the placebo effect can be strong. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/asea-still-selling-snake-oil/

But Milana crushes Emma in boob dept.

Yep, I was there...wife, too. She took the pic Two things I remember about fans I saw at that game: 1) some guy wearing sneakers 2.) another guy holding a can of beer bare-handed...maybe it was warm?

They make Fruit Loops & Apple Jacks @ that Memphis plant.

Tough break...literally. How old were you when it happened and how long until you recovered? Hopefully, you recovered ok.

Speaking of boobs and French women, nice rack on the woman protester who ran in front of Trump’s motorcade in Paris. https://www.euronews.com/2018/11/11/topless-protester-gets-within-metres-of-trump-s-motorcade-in-paris

Could the Rangers-Sabres score total tomorrow be more than Bills-Jets on Sun?

Duke Dubs. The Warriors & Blue Devils will both be able to coast to the playoffs and tourney respectively. With Barrett, Williamson, Reddish & the rest, Duke can only be stopped by injuries. Same for GS. Trying to be objective and not a prisoner of the moment but both teams have more talent than their competition.

I am going to recount a related incident that happened to me, my wife and kids a number of years ago. Our boys were about 1 and 3 at the time. This happened on a weekend night around 1 am when everyone was sleeping upstairs except I was reading. I heard the front door handle rattle and went downstairs to check it. Someone was outside trying to get in. I yelled to go away and that I was calling the cops and had a weapon. Actually, I had dropped my gun for maintenance just the day prior. The person moved away from the door and I called the police & reported it. A short time later, in the back of the house where it is dark, I hear someone tear off the outside screen on a window. I grab a baseball bat and run downstairs again, yelled to my wife to lock her & the boys in a room, and I go to that window and again yell to stop or else I am going to shoot. They did not know my gun was out for repair. In the meantime, my wife has called the cops again, now screaming for them to arrive. The person tries to open the window from outside and I get ready to hit a homer. Meanwhile, as I look through a side window, I can see the police pass that window coming around to the back of the house were this was happening. The window was locked so they were having problems trying to pry it open and ignoring whatever I was saying. Just then I saw the bright police spotlight shine and they yell something at the person and I can see the person run away. The police caught a neighbor 16 year old girl who had been out drinking. Our house looked very similar to her house and she was toasted & was trying to sneak in her home. If I had my gun or if the police were any later then the outcome could have been vastly different because she was determined to get in. I went over and spoke with her mom the next day to try & relay the circumstances and what could have occurred. Her mom had a ‘kids will be kids’ attitude and would not understand how close her daughter came to being an ex-daughter. This story will always remain very vivid to me and demonstrates how close I could have come to popping someone in the head with a baseball bat or shooting her if my gun had been with me. I would have felt justifed for either action but would have harbored extreme regret for what was a simple teenage drinking frolic gone completely wrong.

To each his own. I am bored with half-court isolation bball. Really enjoy watching the passing and quick game that the Warriors & similar style offenses play.

It appears Capt. Andrew Luck = QB Andrew Luck https://www.colts.com/news/the-man-behind-the-captandrewluck-account-is-andrew-luck

I was about 5, maybe early 6. I noticed that when my parents had family &/or friends over everyone got friendly & appeared happier when they drank these cans of stuff called beer that looked like cans of pop/soda. One day, I wanted to feel happy so I snuck one of those cans from the fridge and hid outside around the porch. I snapped open the can and took a big gulp and then immediately spit it out. I could not understand the concept of drinking that crap and it whetted my appetite for a while.

TIL The most misused SSN of all time was (078-05-1120). In 1938, wallet manufacturer the E. H. Ferree company in Lockport, New York decided to promote its product by showing how a Social Security card would fit into its wallets. A sample card, used for display purposes, was inserted in each wallet. Company Vice President and Treasurer Douglas Patterson thought it would be a clever idea to use the actual SSN of his secretary, Mrs. Hilda Schrader Whitcher. The wallet was sold by Woolworth stores and other department stores all over the country. Even though the card was only half the size of a real card, was printed all in red, and had the word "specimen" written across the face, many purchasers of the wallet adopted the SSN as their own. In the peak year of 1943, 5,755 people were using Hilda's number. SSA acted to eliminate the problem by voiding the number and publicizing that it was incorrect to use it. (Mrs. Whitcher was given a new number.) However, the number continued to be used for many years. In all, over 40,000 people reported this as their SSN. As late as 1977, 12 people were found to still be using the SSN "issued by Woolworth." https://www.ssa.gov/history/ssn/misused.html

I could be a Bobbie Gentry fan....or I could have been.

On the drive to GB. We were high-fived and greeted by many Bills fans after landing in ORD. Good to see that many fans from various destinations at the airport.
