I’m curious, did faces come of the rain, when they were strange?

I was at a Frampton concert there, and I remember seeing a guy walking by in a daze! Or, maybe it was a mirror. Hard to say at this point, but I know I got home somehow. This game day express thing sounds ideal if it actually works. If you can’t have the stadium downtown, make it easy to get from downtown to the stadium. The driving and parking, then drinking and having to return home, is not my favorite part of the day. I’ve enjoyed cities like Nashville and Cincinnati where I can just stroll from my hotel to the game, then wander back when it’s over. .

Be glad he didn’t ask for your account info so he could send you the money. Josh > Nigerian Prince! Yes, there is! 😊

There seems to be a consensus, who moves that we go for a vote and it shall be!

Regardless of what you thought of his play, you could always pick Edmunds out of a crowd! He looked like the big brother out there! .

@teef is not cheap! Seriously, one person can only do so much. It’s the strength of the TEAM that is built that determines what they are capable of. Well done!

Merry Christmas, son!

Unpaid OT? How much more could you ask for???

That’s what consultants do, come in and slash expenses and benefits, right? But you do have a special gift for selecting gifts.

Yeah, I can see how the appeal of that might not be overwhelming. Is there a hotel across the street you could at least swap with? A little change of scenery for everyone? 😂 Our parties were never anything like that. Never once on a Sunday. Sunday? It was always on a Friday or Saturday night, and usually at a nice restaurant with a private area. And there was PLENTY of alcohol. I think dinner on St Armands Circle in Sarasota would beat……more hours at work with no alcohol. Maybe he just figured it out? 🤷‍♂️

Friends of ours when we were young hosted a crowd for Thanksgiving in their first house one year. They ate early and settled in to watch football. Several hours later everybody gets sick. Their home was a starter house, and it only had one bathroom. There were issues. Serious issues. There is no way I can do it justice. A survivor’s personal re-telling of that story is hysterical. 😂

In college when a new episode came out we could see MASH episodes up to 5 times in a single day with all the reruns. I certainly remember Adam’s Ribs! And the sauce! I’ll look up “Deal Me In”, I’m sure I’ve seen it multiple times. One of my friends even named his dog Hawkeye, it was a big thing back in the day!

As a former big fan of MASH, I think the menu for the Detroit game should include a Jeep like the one Klinger tried to eat.

She’s not a mod any more, you can stop kissing up. 😊

The wife was kind enough to invite me to her office party, and I was wise enough to politely decline. Last year we had about 50 people from her office at our house, and I saw all I need to know. . I used to have a buddy at the bank I’d see outside of work. He had a big time job and was VERY bright, but when he got some alcohol in him anything might happen. He went into the restroom at the Christmas party one year, and for some unknown reason punched out a (soon-to-be ex) co-worker, breaking his nose. It wasn’t the first time. He started a brawl at a Tampa Bay Bucs game because he thought someone was hitting on MY wife. She said he was a harmless drunk kid (with a purple bra on his head and no shirt in December). Rob couldn’t restrain himself and rows of people started cascading down. He said he was doing me a favor. I said I don’t ever need that kind of favor. I ran into his ex-wife years later and she told me he was living with a girl half his age and there were domestic violence charges filed. Some people just should not drink. He’s really a good guy, but something terrible happens when alcohol is added. Good for you for taking that element out of your life if you felt that was best. You never have to wonder if you said or did anything stupid.

The Ghost of Ralph will be there, for sure.

The next game is the only game that matters. Period.

I may be mistaken, but didn’t you mention someone took a dump on your desk? This may be a you thing.

You just can’t teach accuracy.

Funny, but I’m not taking a stance on anything with so many variables.

As I just described, those are only the lousy salespeople. Good ones know better. My wife was ready to buy, THAT DAY, with a test drive if she liked it. Take it home with her. I don’t blame “the game”, they were idiots, and possibly far worse. That’s not your insider info, that’s nonsense. You act like a car lot has a constant rush of fresh prey. There are a lot of people standing around doing nothing. EVERYBODY should get attention. If you disagree, that is telling. And no, it’s not a matter of prioritizing your next victim. You never, never know. I didn’t hear that from a guy who used to sell cars. Some of the wealthiest people we have ever met are very unassuming, and they come in all sizes, shapes, genders and colors. I hope the sales people don’t learn that right as a business decision, but that would at least be a start. . .

Where do you get this stuff??? You have a curious view of life. Nobody with a brain who was serious about sales would over-generalize and lump people together like that and throw out so many opportunities. That’s worthy of a Darwin Award. Every single lone male was greeted instantly. Men with wives were greeted. She was ignored, and it certainly was not the first time. Single women are often invisible, especially if you are dressed casually. Yoga pants and a sweatshirt doesn’t mean you can’t buy a car. That’s the real world. If you are not aware of that, you may be part of the problem. That sales crew was having a bad day. This was a Lexus dealership and she let sales management know in a polite way as a courtesy. She is in sales management and would want to know. Oh, and she was prepared to take a new car home that day if she liked the test drive of the new model. She got pissed off trying to get noticed, and went and drove one at another dealer. She was “converted” and bought different brand.

I only read the bold and my immediate thought was “what a stink you could make with those things!!!” 😂

A simple “let me know if you have any questions” is appropriate. You were not ignored, but it wasn’t pushy. My wife was upset when every guy or couple at one dealership were greeted promptly, and they ignored the single woman repeatedly when she wanted their attention. Always greet.

Oh boy, @4merper4mer is not going to like this!!!
