Yeah, he’s not the only idiot on the internet. We have a club and he shows up sometimes, but it’s always full. EDIT: for the record, I’m not driving that far to look at anything that inexpensive. I don’t blame you: HOW BIG!!!???? I don’t know what your other options are, but there must be a Play It Again Sports or something similar nearby. Unless she’s a prodigy, I say start cheap and see if a passion grows. I’ll pay for passion, but not for a brief curiosity.

I’ve got about 100k miles on my Toyota, and she has about 10k more on her Lexus SUV. We feel like we should replace one now, because it would suck to replace two at the same time. BUT WHY? We’ve never had any trouble with either. I have my “things” in life, stuff I’m into and I’m willing to spend for. Cars cannot see the top of the list from where they sit. Just be reliable. Side Note: I think I got that way living and working in a bank in Hilton Head, SC right after college. I saw a LOT of people driving beautiful cars that were….as I learned, 30-60 days behind on payments. They get to drive their fancy car out to dinner one more night, hoping the credit card wasn’t declined. Those were people aggressively living on the edge.

I don’t think I have hand waxed, or had someone else hand wax, a car since I’ve been an adult. (We were poor in the beginning!) I’m not picky about cars (I’ll drive them forever and let the dogs make a mess shedding on the way to the park or the vet) and it doesn’t need to be perfect. We take the wife’s SUV if we have people or need to arrive sans fur coating. My finish is dull though. It’s supposed to warm up next week, so I may give it a shot for old times sake and see if I can get my 2014 Avalon to look a little happier. The wife wanted to replace it, but I will have NONE of that. The dogs and I have broken it in properly. Why start ruining a different car?

I’m curious to know more about what you refer to as going on wet and washing off. Is that like a sealant/spot preventer after washing and waxing? Like that last phase in the drive thru car wash? The drive thru car washes around us barely touch my nasty tires. They get the body of the car “just OK”, but the rims are grimy! There is a Car Spa that is more detailed, but I don’t want to sit in their lobby that long. Guys in the parking garage where the wife works was awesome! And convenient as it gets. But they moved on after a few years. I used to “detail cars” in the neighborhood as a kid before that was a thing. We washed and waxed your car, and did a pretty good job IMO. Did the tires, Windex for windows and mirrors, vacuumed, etc. We not only made good money for young kids, but there was something soothing and satisfying about it, like when you finish cutting the grass and edging everything. It’s a good feeling.

I don’t think I want to know how you came about this information.

I think I’m going to look for Yolo……

Don’t let those pesky facts get in the way of a tired narrative! Beane can’t draft, and McD and his coordinators can’t coach. It must be our special teams that makes us a Super Bowl favorite….AGAIN.

….waste of my time. He seems to have an agenda and thinks he’s smarter than the rest of us.

Clearly the intent here is to once again point out how poorly the Bills have drafted. It’s also biased and an utter waste of time. If guys are “gone” that doesn’t mean they were a bust. Some are gone because they were too good and we couldn’t afford to pay what other teams were offering them. Other guys are gone and we received value for them in a trade. Names in red are not all wasted picks. If we are so terrible at drafting, why are we a top 5 team in the league. We can’t draft, and we can’t coach, yet we are still a top team in the NFL. Something is wrong with that picture.

He was a little like Kelly. He might have a ring or two if he was willing to run the ball a little more. Some degree of balance is critical in most aspects of life. .

That would have been a TOTALLY different sight. No doubt.

My brother-in-law a few hours away in Greenville, SC had kids in school with Zion Williamson. You had to buy season tickets to get into those private high school hoops games! On Prom night they had a bunch of kids over for a pool party. The doorbell rings, and Zion joins the party. His parents came to be sure this was a more wholesome environment than the first prom party. (I freely admit I could fit into either party.) EDIT: To clarify, nobody I knew went on to be famous. But even better, some went on to be quite successful without being famous!

This will come off as whining to some folks, but that WNY weather did not help us against the Bengals in the playoffs. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the better team won. But Brady, Mahomes and others have said how a slick field favors the passing game. It’s hard to get traction for any speed rush. Because we play so much zone, it’s also harder on the DB’s to break quickly on the ball. We lost to a better team, we got crushed because of our scheme and unfortunate circumstances. We will know when the stars have aligned. We are but mere mortals, never meant to understand why we have to endure as we do.

Keep working at it, it’s not as easy as it should be! The Bills and everything related certainly don’t help that.

So…..you didn’t pick up on the facial recognition at the home opener a couple years ago? Cool. 😋 I kid, it seems I’ve got two straight books dealing with this creepy stuff! I’m BORING! Leave me alone! Nuthin’ to hide here….. Somebody has probably already PM’ed YOLO. If he wants back, he knows he’ll have a warm welcome. I hope it’s just a healthy break. I get that, and he deserves it. Maybe the Bills can draft the guy who becomes the best ever OSU WR in the NFL. A four time Super Bowl MVP, and first ballot HOF guy!

Even the cold people look down on those with no wallets.

I suspect you could be WR coach at LSU for a year or two and get an NFL job. You might have to show up for some practices and probably attend game days. What a CRAZY WR factory!

I suggest a deep breath. It’s wasn’t just one game. I see him as being a bit like Knox where he frustrated me, but I felt he’d be fine in time. He DOES have talent, and a new WR coach might help. I appreciate a WR coming back with a high ankle sprain because his team needed him. You can say it didn’t cause the drops, to which I reply I still have more faith in him than many. Time will tell.

I hope Yolo is smiling like Cuba Gooding, Jr as Rod Tidwell in Jerry McGuire, soaking in the love before springing up to once again entertain us all!!! Seriously, a break can be healthy, I hope that’s all it is.

That sounds………….expensive. And they will both be 31 during next season. I think we will be younger and cheaper, for what it’s worth. Older and more expensive seems out of reach given our situation.

I wish that surprised me a little more than it did. I would have no idea. Who would know? Trust your vender, hopefully.

Gabe benefits from having Josh as QB, no doubt. But he’s also hurt because we have other options like Diggs and Knox so the ball gets spread around more. Some of this will come down to circumstances and pure luck. So…..🤷‍♂️ Regardless, I want them to add someone to step in and be the clear #2 to Diggs.

Start a poll, and I will vote! Hodgins was a bit cheaper because he was taken a little later in the draft. No idea yet what the terms of the new deal are. Gabe needs a big year to earn the big paycheck, but he’s already done things Hodgins could only dream of, like 4 TD’s in a playoff game.

Wishing Hodgins all the best (in the NFC), but my vote would be Gabe all day long. I’m not giving up on him. In fact, I look for a big rebound season if he stays healthy.

We went to a cooking class at the Viking store a few years ago. About half the people there and already attended the knife skills class. I don’t know what they chopped all night, but it really makes sense. If you can prep quick and easy, the whole experience is better. That is especially true with a vegetarian now in the family. That leads to a LOT of knife work! One potential downside to the knife skills class, and I’m not sure how they handled it: at our class there was no wine until we put the knives away. That could be a deal breaker! 😋
