    I always assumed that the K practices as a backup to the P (and vice versa).  Why didn't the Bills use Bass to punt?  And what made them think that Barkley would be any good at it?

     

    For the same reason why your dentist isn't your back up brain surgeon.

    Not a medical exam, but what she claimed was her injuries:

     

    From the LA Times article

     

    The teen “stumbled out of the room bloody and crying. Her nose, bellybutton, and ear piercings had been pulled out, and she was also bleeding from her *****.”

    Also believe there’s a statute of limitations for tort cases in Cali of a year, which makes sense why they filed civil suit now, as the incident allegedly happened in October 

     

     

    Actually I think it is 2 yrs. Cal.Civ. Proc. §335.1

    Just curious how Acronyms effect this. Because if you eliminate the acronym it just sounds terribly wrong. 
     

    “because he’s an free agent” 

     

    yeah. Idk. I didn’t take 10th grade English. 

     

     

    OCD is nothing to be ashamed of. You are not alone.

    I said in another thread it would be interesting to see if we do this as an extra threat in the playoffs if we end up adding OBJ into the mix at that time. 

     

    You stole Fizzy Lifting Drinks, you bumped your head into the ceiling that now has to be washed and sterilized so you get nothing! You lose! Good Day Sir!

    I adore the Bernese Mountain Dog that you have in your avatar, he’s so cute. I am a huge animal/dog lover.

    Her name is Mazie though we have taken to calling her Mighty Mazie as she recently survived a battle with aspirational pneumonia. We almost lost her but she is made it through. In the past she has chased burglars out of our house and fought off two stray pit bulls that attacked my spouse at a park.

  6. I predict that in the future we will have readily available communication devices we can use to summon purveyors of on-call transportation with the ability to track our location so as to arrive in minutes to give us a ride home when we have had a bit too much to drink.  And all at a relatively low price. And then we will never have to worry about these kinds of things ever again. Someday. Someday.

  7. He has not turned out to be as good as we had hoped when he was drafted but he has been a leading tackler on a top defense, almost never misses a game, has been the QB of a very good defense and pretty much never leaves the field.  You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you'll find, you get what you neeeeeeeeeeeeed. Maine ain't going anywhere.

    Even as a fellow Purdue alum, I agree Griese was not a great QB.  But, despite his perfect season, I never hear him mentioned as one. 

     

    Hard to say he's overrated when most people don't rate or remember him hardly at all.  

     

    I don't know.  1977 UPI AFC Player of the year, 2 x first team all pro,  6 pro bowls, NCAA Hall of Fame, won 2 out of 3 Super Bowls, only undefeated season in NFL history and an NFL Hall of Famer and NFL starter for 13 years.  Seems like he was pretty highly rated. I grew up listening to what a great leader this guy was.

  9. In the hope that it may spare others from what we have been going through, I thought I should share how this all happened. 

     

    Late Saturday on 6/25 which was crazy hot (99 degrees), Mazie looked lethargic, was uninterested in her food and was just not looking right.  By the next day she added a weird cough to her symptoms, sounded like she was trying to clear some congestion. We took her to the vet the next day and they found that she had a slightly elevated temp, was lethargic, still not eating, drinking only minimally and was frequently coughing.  We now know these were all symptoms of aspirational pneumonia. The vet felt it was just a reaction to some mild overheating due to the weather that Saturday.  We were told just to monitor her condition, push fluids and try some bland foods like boiled chicken and rice.  She started eating better when we did that and had a little more energy but still was coughing and seemed to be panting more than usual.

     

    After about 10 days of her going back and forth, getting better then getting worse, we noticed that her tongue was blue. That is when we rushed to the veterinary ER. The vets there were surprised that our vet didn't react to the elevated temp but also said aspirational pneumonia was a diagnosis that was easy to miss. Lessons learned? First, if your dog doesn't look right to you, something is wrong. No one knows your pup like you do so even if you don't have the knowledge to know what the problem is, you are the the one who knows best that there is a problem.  Second, insist on an explanation for any abnormal finding, no matter how small and don't accept a guess like "its probably the heat" just because it is coming from a vet.  Lastly, get pet insurance!

    Way to go Mazie! So happy for you and your family. BTW, our beautiful Berner Annie lived to be 12 and survivrd two cancer surgeries. I wish a long and healthy life for your Mazie.

    Thank you so much and I'm glad Annie had a long and happy life. 

  11. Mazie is home!!  High flow oxygen treatment was successful in getting her lungs opened enough to get her breathing solid enough to come home. 

    She looks like she went through a war, lost at least 15 lbs.  Her appetite is slowly coming back and she is on a fistful of pills twice a day. It will be months 

    before she gets her health back but we are so grateful to have her back. home.

     

    Thank you all for your good thoughts that did so much to pick up our spirits during what was a long and dark week.

  12. Tiny bit of good news for Mazie this morning. The high flow O2 treatment is working as her o2 levels are now normal. She had been in an oxygen tent that only managed to get her o2 levels to 94%, w/out treatment it would drop to 91%.  They will lower the o2 mix throughout the day to see if her good levels can hold without the high flow treatment assisting. Her temp is also down to 101.5, the best she has had since she was admitted last Saturday. 

     

    Her lungs remain severely effected but they are even the tiniest bit better which is the opposite of what they had been doing.

     

    Not out of the woods and nowhere near coming home but today was the first bit of good news, albeit guarded good news, that we have had since this all started. 

     

    Thanks again to all and keep the good vibes vibe'n Mazie's way.
