I was speaking with the ticket office today because I was going to be away for a couple of weeks and was having my mail held and wanted to know if a signature would be required when the season tix arrived.
They told me they are sent from the ticket company (not the Bills) with a delivery confirmation, but not signature, via USPS. They will be sent the first week of August with delivery expected between the 3rd and the 7th. It depends on where you live.

When you sold your first three houses what did you purchase with the equity? Another house to live in correct? Unless you plan to downsize or live in an area where the homes are much less expensive all you are doing is purchasing a new place to live. Your home is a place to live and really nothing more. Any equity you have is pretty much 100% illiquid. I consider investments something I can liquidate fairly quickly or something I can draw income from during my retirement or to supplement my current income. A primary residence is neither of these. Now, a rental property is a different story. While it's still illiquid and maybe not easily liquidated I can still draw income from it or sell it and then in turn invest the proceeds in something that IS liquid and draw income from that.
OK - I see your point but two items you mention are exactly what I intended. 1.) I moved from a location in a state where housing prices were ridiculously high to another state where they were much more reasonable. 2.) Eventually, all of us will get old and downsize.
I will contest your other point - just because some is not very liquid does not disqualify it as an investment. For example, a 401k is an investment but, due to tax law, it is not something that is very liquid until you reach a certain age.
I consider an investment something that will appreciate over time. A car is not an investment. If your house is not going to appreciate over time, then consider moving elsewhere or fix it up. When I sold all of my places, the appreciation I received was far more than any stocks/bonds/mutual funds/etc. return I would have received if I placed the money there. Real estate appreciation in many parts of the country is just ridiculous over the past 10-15 years. I lived in a few states and checked out many parts of the country before I decided where I wanted to hang out. But I researched every place I moved in detail before I moved there. Spoke with the local government and zoning boards so I had an idea beforehand what was proposed for development (residential & commercial), how the state or local govt. was enticing business to that area, what kind of competition I would have if I sold my place, property value increases over the past 5-10 years, etc. This resulted in having a 50-80% appreciation in value for each of the homes I sold. And this after only living there for 2-4 years each time.

Please clarify. This is the fourth house I have owned. I knew that I would eventually sell the previous homes I owned and cared for them as I would my 401k and any other investment. When I sold them, I reaped the rewards of that care.
Though I intend to settle for quite a while in my present place, I still consider it an investment and treat it as such for someday, far in the future, we will sell it. Though we have made many changes to make the house our personal paradise, we never make changes that will impact the long-term value of the property.
-
Hope you get it! Most likely, the biggest single investment of your life (until you sell and buy the next one). Treat it that way and you'll realize the value of real estate when you decide to sell. You will not have to worry about real estate demand slowing in VA Beach.

Not a huge fan of this kind of music, but this is a damn good one.

Click to the fourth one, John Henry.
Thanks for posting this - I was unaware. An AOL site that has some content?
Good on ya' - Enjoy. Try as I might, I will be unable to make any more shows.
? for you - I noticed that neither the aol site above nor XM carried Roger Waters performance from Rockin in Rio after it had been posted on their sites. Something to the effect was posted "Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be unable to broadcast Roger Waters...." Yet, Santana was broadcast on both just prior to when Waters took the stage. Have you heard any explanation? It would
not surprise me if Waters put the kibosh on it rather than a technical issue.

can't remember who said it about Phil after his heart attack -
"..turds in his aorta..." lol

dime has david gilmours show available from london last nite, here is the set list, sounds nice.
Since both of you are referencing Floyd-related music, have either of you picked up tix for Roger Waters shows this fall? He will be doing the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" in his second set. I am taking a road-trip to Philly to see him at the Tweeter Center in Camden on a Sat. night. I may go see him at the Nissan Center the next Sat. but only if my friend who lives nearby is in town.

Carrolls - holy schitt, old man. Was the menu in sanskrit?
Though data from this era is scarce, it is also believed that these people periodically visited an establishment called "The Big N".

Hey. I resemble that. I grew up there and we lived around the corner from the Ognibenes. He had a sister that was hot sh_t when we we got to the age of waking up sticky.
Since I have been removed from WNY for some time, I have no idea what became of any of the Ogs and I am unable to relate why Mike is in your scope.
But if he has found some way to make a small business thrive in upstate NY, he deserves more credit than the crap we gave him growing up.
-
According to what I have found, you are right, in a manner of speaking.
Another great example that’s also on this album is “Buffalo Gals.” “Buffalo Gals” was a canal song from the Erie Canal period. The Buffalo gals had nothing to do with Buffalo soldiers. The song is about prostitutes on Canal Street in Buffalo, New York, at the end of the Erie Canal.I gather that Frank Capra did not know the history of the song when he put it in "It's a Wonderful Life".

Ditto on what he said. I was there, too, and it was an amazing performance. For the most part, old Americana tunes, but that boy can make them rock. He has done an amazing job re-arranging a few of his older tunes to this band. His band was as tight as any I have ever seen.
I swore I would never go the Nissan Pavilion after it took me over two hours to get out of the parking lot the last time I went. But, a friend lives in a apartment about a mile away and we were able to walk there. Beautiful weather last night just added to the show.
He is not doing many dates on this tour. Probably due to the logistics and $ hauling around a 20 person band. But this is a remarkable show and I am not a Bruce regular. Catch it if you can.
-
Yeah, that was like...jeez....eight years ago. (ha..ha)
BTW - did you get Waters tix? So far, I have them for the Tweeter Center in Camden (Road Trip!!). I may go to the Nissan Pavilion although I swore I would never go to another show there again. If I can park at someone's apartment that lives nearby, I may change my mind.

The NFL Network will pick 4 games from the previous week and re-air them on Tue & Wed evening. They will remove halftime and all unnecessary video but also add additional camera angles and commentary.
"...
NFL Game Re-Airs will play in a 90-minute fast-paced format without halftime and other elements not critical to the outcome. NFL Game Re-Airs will tell the story of the game with additional features.
In order to give the games context, NFL Network will add sideline and on-field sound captured during the game and postgame press conference sound bites.
Other enhancements will include exclusive shots and camera angles from NFL Films, allowing fans an inside look at game action they did not see on Sunday. This will give fans a deeper understanding of the game, the players and the coaches.
For example, if NFL Game Re-Airs was featuring the Colts-Steelers AFC Divisional Playoff where Jerome Bettis fumbled late in the game, viewers would see related comments from Bettis, Bill Cowher and others immediately after the play, as well as slow-motion footage showing the play as it unfolded.
NFL Network has the ability to select any NFL game for use on NFL Game Re-Airs, complete with original television announcers and cameras. "
I give 1 for the over/under on the Bills appearing in 2006 on this.

Definitely - I liked how they cut the song so that the vocals would play during the credits. FWIW: non-Floydians may not know but the lyrics are "One of these days I'm going to chop you into little pieces." Apropos for the show. Those were the only lyrics that drummer Nick Mason ever sang in a Floyd song.

Can't top yours but one of my sons (he was 5 at the time) barfed on a plane when we were both in first class. As you can expect, the other first class passengers expect that when you get in first class you are away from that kind of stuff....but, surprise.
No projectiles but a nasty aroma. I noticed a gag reflex from the lady across from us when I took him to the bathroom to get him cleaned up.

"When I was a child, if a kid stunk at baseball he was relegated to manager or deep, deep left field. "
Kinda weird. When I played, the crappy players were put in right field, not left field.

Actually, there are three locations: (Hugenot Rd, Shoppes at Belgrade), 17th St near The Farmers Market, and on Parham Rd close to interchange with I-95.
To get back to your original ?, I M Hipp to that. You mean lunch? The latter two locations are best for me. Obviously, this week is out.
Setup a date and those of us interested can confirm and bring our anti-hypertensive, anti-ulcer, and anti-cholesterol medications.

Maybe it's just me.....
The biggest investment in your life and you don't have a security system with Fire/Smoke detectors that automatically calls the FD? Even if theft, etc. are not an issue where one lives, the fire detection/auto notification is worth the price. And there's a discount on homeowner's insurance.
What happened to them is awful but buyer beware. We are all trying to save $ but the information regarding all types of services is readily available and people choose not to research, ask the proper questions, or compare. Unless Vonage promised service via 911, I do not believe they should be held responsible.
I see a lot of people blaming others (people, companies, etc.) for their misfortunes when they made ill-advised or misinformed decisions where it was their responsibility to investigate the impact of their choice.

Great - and a new South Park

Not big on this type of thing but here goes:
That is a Honeymooners reference as he was living in a sewer when we adopted him. Great attitude, very vocal and affectionate. My wife has turned him into an indoor cat but he was amazing when he first came to visit us. He would bring home small rabbits, moles, and birds he had caught and eat nearly the whole thing. One time, I snuck outside when he brought home a small rabbit just to watch him devour it. I had enough when he got through eating the ears and started on the head and headed back in the house. I ate very little that night but it was a cool thing to see.
