Well I guess that settles it then. I’ll have to start wearing a tie when I fly and gyrate wildly trying to slap people in the face with it. Just thinking ahead….Probably best to wait until after takeoff. I’m not into status or label, but I warn people who are: Things are not always what they appear. In fact, the first appearance can be very misleading from my experience. I learned early in my working life that the guys with the fancy BMW’s were often 60 days late on the payments, and the old guy driving the clunker to the early bird buffet just might be loaded.

Are you suggesting we all abandon ALL of our clothing, then? This is a family kind of place!

Huh? Rotation? I wore a tie almost daily in high school, then for almost my entire working life. If it’s not something you are personally comfortable with, that’s fine. But it’s not as though it’s extreme or odd in any way. Like anything else, you clean it when you need to. Pretty simple.

No, nothing at all to apologize for. The thing is, they are super comfortable, but they look just fine in multiple solid colors. (If my wife likes something, she will often get them for me in every color.) I went from PT to my mother’s nursing home to visit, and a guy there is usually wearing “pants” much like mine, but his are covered in Snoopy and Charlie Brown images. You can be comfy without looking like a slob, but some people are just more comfortable looking like slobs. I guess maybe they like to project that IDGAF image? It’s different times, and I’ve learned to lower my expectations. It seems to be a never ending process. The dry cleaner. They exist for exactly such things.

When you go shopping at midnight out of necessity, you should expect to have fewer options. We can’t go 5 deep at every position, and you never know which unit will have the brunt of the injuries. We used to start the season like this to find starters at the last camp cutdown. I remember those days clearly, and I’m not panicking just because Lawson’s name has been mentioned here. I’m not thrilled, but I’m not panicking. It is what it is.

Other than a few times on the golf course or when he was dying in his hospital bed, I never saw my FIL when he was not wearing a tie. That was as expected as pants for him. I however, had physical therapy for my shoulder today. The comfortable pants I wore to PT may also be clothes I sleep in on a regular basis, but as far as you know they are not the same ones I slept in last night. You may assume that what I wore to my session and what I slept in last night were different garments. Just sayin’.

Well, it might have been the plan before we lost 50% of our starting DLine to injuries. Stuff happens, and you adjust.This is where we are.

That must be an enormous relief for him!

Getting from point A to point B is one thing, and parking is something else again. There are good reasons you see so many bicycles and scooters around Europe. It’s also related to the lower obesity levels you see there, I think. Walking and bike riding are much more common forms of transportation than in the states, where we consider it a rare exercise event. They call it “getting where I need to go.” I was very impressed by how fast, clean, and easy it was to get around Italy by train. In fact, I’d like to go do it again! .

So, if you really just happen to truly suck, you’re screwed. No help for you! It’s more important to protect parity than defend against the tankers of the world, imo.

You may not see it now, but this is a blessing that will remain with you. I wasn’t with all the dogs we had to put down until the last few. There is something in it for both of you to be there together at the end. I regret a couple chances I could not or did not. Either way, you loved each other until the end.

I think I have PTSD after the last Peter Pan birthday. Are they there? Or are they not? 😊

My smart ass son walked into the room when I was watching a movie and asked “Hey Dad, what does the WE in the corner stand for?”

He lost us SB 25 playing OC vs the Giants. Hand the ball to Thurman and he has a SB ring. Reminiscent of Dan Marino refusing to play balanced (and winning) offensive football. I’ll pass. The system would work if we had some NFL quality WR’s, players we sadly lack.

Just be sure he doesn’t pull a Dick Cheney before the sprinting commences! That will slow you down.

We’ve been looking in all the wrong places to save our season!!!

You haven’t failed anyone or anything. You’ve done all you could. The best Golden I’ve ever had developed anemia from a bleed somewhere deep inside her. Her blood cell count was off so they knew there was cancer somewhere. They asked if we wanted exploratory surgery to try to find the bleed and stop it. She was a 14 year old Golden with cancer, and while we could have afforded the (CRAZY expensive) surgery, it was her time. For us to prolong things would have been selfish on our part. We couldn’t put that sweet girl thru it so we might have a little more time with a dog who was suffering. You will have many years of love to look back on warmly for Thanksgiving. Don’t let the sadness win, in time you will be able to smile more and cry less. The love is always there.

Thanks for the Cliff Notes. I’m good.

OK, we’ll put you down as a maybe.

If Pegs wants to frack Philadelphia,I doubt anyone would complain. Was that your point? If you want to go looking for things to worry about, you’ll be too busy to notice any of the good stuff right in front of us.

We are a couple coordinators and a couple quality WR’s from running roughshod over this league! Unfortunately, one broken position, like a car part, messes up everything else. But our DB’s are getting faster and more athletic and are figuring things out. Our OL, when healthy, is one of the better units out there. I love Walker already and I have high hopes for the young guys and Hoecht on the DL. It’s not as doom and gloom as it may appear to some. It’s a shame that we are having these struggles when there doesn’t seem to be a great team to beat for the SB, but this season has a long, long way still to go. That’s all I’ve got for now.

So, maybe for the playoffs the economic colossas that is the NFL can afford an extra plane ticket and one more hotel room for a spare ref to be sure a playoff game is called correctly? Gee, isn’t that generous of them!

Thanks for the chuckle!

Another nice apology letter from the league should more than suffice.

Oh, I know. Believe me, I know.
