  1. Being healthy at the right time is part of “luck.” We have not been lucky, but we are due.
  2. Just imagine what @HOUSE could do with a dozen dimes! It could be life changing!
  3. Good luck with the transition! I hope it’s a great move for you.
  4. While on vacation last week we drove past the church where my older sister (by 8 years) got married. I remember two things about that day. Fr Timlin basically asked “why bother?”, because everyone ends up divorced anyway. The other thing was my sister’s old college friend skinny dipping at the beach behind the Hilton Head Inn after the reception. I liked her spirit, among other things!
  5. That’s a tough one in terms of cost, for sure. Both game tix and hotels. But you stand a better chance of decent weather, and it’s the 25th so depending upon what’s happening in my world I’ll probably give it a shot.
  6. I try to do the home opener and one road game. I can’t pick a road game until I know when it is.
  7. I agree times are changing, and the best athlete now wants to be QB or WR, not RB. But a guy who demands frequent double teams makes it easier for everyone else.
  8. Good! All teams I’m happy to see playing on Christmas Day, and especially on a Wednesday! How do you work that in without really messing up your routine. Much worse than a Monday, and even worse than a Thursday Night Game. Once again, the NFL is more interested in the money than the integrity of the games or the welfare of the players. I’m a Bills fan, but less of an NFL fan as the years go by and they try to squeeze out every nickel.
  9. If he wants to come, he can pay the StubHub fees just like I do. But I am curious….were we thinking an E-Invite or something more traditional with a classic font and an RSVP card. Don’t go cheap on the paper stock, we don’t want to make a bad first impression! I’m assuming a plus one would be expected, right?
  10. I’m a Bills fan and I always will be, but I care less about the NFL every year. If Buffalo still had the Braves, I might still watch some NBA. As it is, I don’t even watch the Finals, and I change the station when they start talking NBA on sports talk radio. I get more music in my life, so it’s not all bad.
  11. I just checked the title, and was surprised to learn that it’s not whining about McD, but that tends to be where most things end up.
  12. ….and I think we have a pretty dynamic duo. We have a great TE room, and people sometimes hate that more than love that. It’s not TE 1 and TE2 the way I see it. It’s two different flavors and there are times for each. .
  13. Put a little more effort into making sure you DO arrive. Since moving to the lovely traffic of Atlanta I’ve shifted my tune a bit. If anybody needs in, I’ll give you every opportunity to change lanes. We are all in this same sh!t together!
  14. It’s been 30 years, so I’m sure none of the same people are around. It was reassuring to know that we were unlikely to draw attention to ourselves from our old neighbors, and therefore hopefully not draw any kind of rifle fire. .
  15. But that humidity will still leave players susceptible to cramps that time of year. It’s brutal, but somehow I loved it while playing tennis.
  16. I was too late with “everyone else”, but we are thinking alike. BTW - I live in Atlanta, so this is a typical kinda thing for me.
  17. They have/had one outside of Sarasota, FL and I loved it! It was a special treat for me and especially the family when they were in town.
  18. But that doesn’t point the finger quite as clearly at McD, and some people want that made very clear.
  19. Absolutely. We just got back from a trip to Hilton Head. That’s where I met my wife and my kids were born. I went to the place we had our first date. We called a friend who called a friend to call in a gate pass so we could drive past one of our old houses. We went by the other places we lived too. We also went to all our favorite restaurants. That happens to me any time I go back to WNY, too. I love going back to see our old houses, and I lived in 9 (really 8 but one of them twice). Yeah, we moved a lot with parents in real estate. But I think all that is pretty natural. I may be too nostalgic, as I have a tendency to prefer the old over the new. I need to be more aware of that in myself and try to be more open to new things.
  20. I would have said “please do, give him a long term contract and all the control he asks for.” I try to be helpful where possible……as a Bills fan.
  21. I don’t think of him as a “back up”. I think of him as a different flavor.
  22. That is the best word I could find to describe Kincaid as well. I like an athlete out there with body control who can box out, track the ball and twist and turn to catch it. Yes, I crave some more speed to scare the defense, but two years in a row they have gone with fluid pass catchers with solid hands with their first pick. That ain’t nothin’. I have no need for an Al Davis track star who can’t play the sport, but one more legit guy who scares the D deep would be awesome.
  23. It won’t cost you anything, I promise. I like trying something new in an attempt to get better. I can’t see how it could hurt, so why not?
  24. I don’t know IF they would do it, and I don’t know WHO they would target, but it would make me feel MUCH BETTER about our team and even our draft.
  25. If we add a surcharge of say $25 per post, do you think we could scrape up a dome?
