Let us eat GRAPES!!! 🍇

…..AND, the exact reason you don’t give it to him. Browns fans can thank Haslam.

Notre Dame has one 5 Star recruit, and they are beating teams with 15-20. Those are just labels handed out by strangers. It’s a team game.

I remember somebody, maybe the Patriots, quick kicking on us on third down deep in their own end on a super windy day. The wind blew the damn thing and it rolled almost the length of the field. All the had to do was get it past the unexpecting safeties, and let it roll…………

Or, is it more likely that the bum was lazy and cut corners in rehab?

I feel for Browns fans. I can feel their pain. I have a buddy who is a Browns fan, which is a very hard thing to be.

Well, I guess there is that. I’m not offended by the upset talk. Every game scares me to death.

I suppose they could be handy in a toilet paper shortage. 🤷‍♂️

I worked full time in season since I was 14. I did odd jobs offseason. I didn’t buy cheap, but it all lasted 25+ years with very high quality.

If only it had been better maintained. I borrowed $1,000 (1977) from my father and worked to pay it off. This stuff went to college with me freshman year, and by my Junior year it was the music you heard on Animal House. Our house with a dozen guys in the only off campus housing between school and the only bar you could walk to. It was an ugly scene, and the house was briefly condemned when we moved out. The tweeters needed to be soldered but I held them together with Qtips and tape. The foam had turned to dust. Like an old dog, it was time. We got tired of moving it.

Have you seen the Tin Man lately? Oil my ass. The Rock used to look like Kevin Hart. Oh, and steroids. For machines, it’s new. Can’t leave that out.

There is a time and a place for both. We had my old Yamaha receiver, Technic turntable and Advent speakers that doubled as furniture for many years. It was awesome and very hard to beat for sound quality. I’m older now, and a huge fan of convenience, so that stuff went to the farm. Like an old car, you eventually just have to put it down. The side benefit is my house doesn’t remind me of my old dorm rooms anymore. 😊 EDIT: I just realized that when we added the surround sound in the family room we did do the whole shebang with Marantz and the big subwoofer, etc, but we don’t use that when we listen to music. My wife just does the Sonos speakers nearest us. .

So, I’m guessing that you DO believe in space, and stuff like that. You seem to have a very scientific mind. I had heard that we might get a little something in ATL, but I had no idea they closed school already. Given the local track record, that’s probably for the best. 😂

Regardless of whether you escrow for taxes and insurance, the lender is noted as the mortgagee at closing. They are notified by the insurance company if coverage lapses for any reason. Without insurance on the collateral, the lender is exposed to enormous losses that nobody in their right mind would find acceptable. I mean, think about it. Nobody is going to lend me hundreds of thousands of dollars unsecured, but without insurance that’s effectively what they would be doing. Some people who pay cash or retire/pay off their mortgage (as we are about to do) elect to “self-insure”, a/k/a roll the dice and take their chances. I sleep better knowing we are properly insured.

It should go in the trash.

I was supposed to be in Oceanside in a few weeks. My son and his wife have a wedding there, and the wife was going to babysit for them so she invited me. Unfortunately, it was bad timing as she has to go direct to NYC from CA so I’m staying home with the dogs. I’ve heard no updates regarding the wedding and whether the venue is still standing. Prayers to your dad and all the people affected by this.

If you have a mortgage then insurance will be required to protect the lenders collateral. If you don’t have the property insured, they can and will force place insurance to protect themselves. That is never the cheapest way to go.

Sounds like a loose and casual working atmosphere. EDIT: Imagine those Christmas parties! .

The mere suggestion, in my mind, is semi-worthy of consideration for a permaban. But let’s give it 36-48 hours and see if it just happens anyway……

You don’t want to be there when they get frisky! “Save yourself, man!”* *A favorite moment from Saving Private Ryan. .

Funny, I read this as I’m texting with a college buddy about the snow In Cincinnati. A few years ago his (problem) child and my Goddaughter burned the house to the ground about 2am. Fortunately, the mom is a light sleeper and they got everyone out of the house. They lost everything except a car in the driveway. They now live in a beautiful new home built to their liking, and everyone is accounted for except for one very, very old cat they were on the fence about. You go out and shop for………………EVERYTHING. I hope he had his wallet, or else you have a new set of problems.

I lived in hurricane territory for 30 years. They can be awful and devastating, but I was never as terrified as I would be from those fires. That is just awful, but hopefully it’s all property damage with minimal harm to people.

My first real girlfriend and another buddy growing up became professors. I haven’t talked to them in decades, but it was pretty fun to look them up on Rate My Professor. The theme with him was “WTF does he think he is to require so much work for 2 credit hours!?!?” Yeah, that sounds about right. 😂
