Augie

The celery is so my wife doesn’t hit me for using my finger.

Just not my thing. At least the texture of tapioca tastes good. Just add sugar!

That really might help grits, but I can’t imagine me ever ordering grits again, so I guess I’ll never know how I like it. My wife hates avocados because of the texture, and grits kind of does that for me. Meanwhile, back to football, I’m not sure.

I suspect it’s more likely he learns from him for a year, but I’d bet he has that role eventually.

They know their audience, that was intentional. Watch those email addresses floods in! Now, if there is a nudity clause be sure exactly what that means. I don’t think Hallmark is going to be PRO-nudity.

Um, that’s all the warning I need…… .

This should be the first response to every thread he starts on this topic. And the second. Maybe eventually he’ll notice. I doubt that will change anything, but it’s worth a try. It’s a long time until September.

So……while I’d like to upgrade our WR1……

Thanks, maybe I’ll do that tonight with the wife. I was just flipping around and came across 3 Days To Kill with Hailee and Kevin Costner so I’m getting my first taste now.

The one whose son just fell to the 5th round?

I think the correct answer is the Moops.

Make a nice home for them in your attic. They will leave the apricots alone. We’ve been down that road, and the people next door not only had to have them removed, but they had to replace all their insulation to the tune of about $10k with all repairs included. Aren’t they just so cute!

I think he was on hold for 2-3 minutes. That’s all it takes, at least for me.

99 Bottles of Beer?

Ours was “street legal” with headlights, blinkers, seatbelts, etc. I never wore a seatbelt by any means, but I was in Florida and everything was as flat as a pool table. If you hit a bump at a good speed, you’d better hold on.

Yes, the exact wording leaves open the possibility of something more, like if a witness appeared or something. Let’s hope that’s not the case. It’s horrible, but I pray it was just a freak accident. For all we know, he might have had a preexisting condition and was a walking time bomb. That’s just craziness out of left field, but we don’t know what we don’t know.

I’m more questions than answers. So were they on the course? On a cart path? What did he hit his head on? Or at the club, or leaving the club? I’m sure it’s much swankier than where we lived, but it was pretty high end and you’d see 4 seaters on the course in the evenings. You just know the rangers have a routine, and only for a little while, and you keep your distance. It’s often the easiest way to get home from the club or a friend's. The worst they’re going to do is politely ask you to exit the course. EDIT: I’ve never seen one used by golfers, either. I thought they had just come from a party. .

Do we know for sure it was the golf course’s cart? There were a bunch of 4 seaters around our course all the time. People would bring their own up to the club to eat……..or for drinks.

Do we know if it was a 2 seater cart with a place for bags on the back? Or a 4 seater, with 2 more seats in the back? That’s what we had and we loved it. I don’t know enough about what happened to have an opinion, but this is just a terrible tragedy. A broken wrist would have taught this lesson.

We had a 4 seater for riding around with a cooler, so I rented carts in our neighborhood. My first time on the course I made a tactical error, like skiing and black diamonds are the only option ahead of you. I was alone in the cart and almost tipped the damn thing over on its side when the terrain surprised me. I was holding on for dear life! 😂 My son’s friends “borrowed” carts on a few occasions, and at least one maintenance cart wound up in a lake. Oops! My wife played snitch in that one.

That’s easy to have happen, but you’d hope the guy would just hurt his wrist or something. I don’t know what happened, but it feels like some freaky bad luck is involved. So sad, but stuff happens. I just hope it wasn’t because of stupidity.

Our old neighborhood in Florida does a HUGE Halloween event, and people often traveled around in golf carts, either borrowed from the club or their own personal carts. One kid ran over another kid and broke his leg. New rule: You had to have a license or be of a certain age. Our son wasn’t old enough, but we pointed out how serious it was, then told him he can still use it. Be responsible, which he is, and we will take our chances. There was a firm rule that he was the only one allowed to drive the cart, as most kids that age really are idiots. So my son is driving around with a couple friends (it was a 4 passenger cart, not for golf) and one kid knocks my son’s hat off. He stops the cart to go back for his hat, and the kid jumps into the drivers seat and takes off. He’s looking back at our son laughing as he races away…..straight into an oak tree causing about $500 damage to the cart. Fortunately, nobody was badly hurt. It’s VERY easy to have something serious go wrong, especially if kids or alcohol are involved. What a horrible tragedy. .

For us it will be just me and the wife on Christmas Day. The son and his family will be in Florida with the in-laws, and it will be just the two of us here. I’d be happy for something to take my mind off of the fact that we are just sitting around alone on Christmas Day. Last year the wife was fighting the urge to go upstairs and work on Christmas afternoon. She’s now retired, and I’d like to be able to enjoy the game with her. She can wear her “I Married Into This” Bills T-shirt.

Are you looking for a horse farm, or sleeping in a stable? We don’t judge.

…..yet.
