The part after your ... is what my comment was referring to, Tom.

Justice is blind. And deaf. And dumb. And on the take.

Hmm. For me, most of the loose threads got tied up pretty neatly once I thought about things and put it all into the right order. I never really got people who said they were still confused about this or that. I haven't done a rewatch yet. Maybe the 10-year anniversary would be a good start date. Still the most beautiful final ~10 minutes of a series on teevee, in my book.

This is simply appalling. Kids with autism spectrum disorders face bullying to extremes. That this bullying is being done by a special ed teacher makes it all the more heinous. And make no mistake, this is bullying. Making a video in such a situation and then sharing it with people and having guffaws and taunting him will now follow him. This treatment is beyond what is allowed in the Geneva Conventions for captured soldiers --- that may be a clue that what you're doing is wrong. An appropriate response would be to help. An appropriate response would be to get on the horn with maintenance and telling them in no uncertain terms that a child is trapped in a chair and that it's very much not "low-priority." An appropriate response doesn't to include breaking out the cell phone camera and talking about Tasering. Seriously? Who the hell running-jokes about Tasering? ASD comes part-and-parcel with high levels of anxiety, which were already in play, the sense of being trapped and of people making fun of you only heightens it all. It's a wonder he didn't try to unbudge himself and separate a shoulder or something. (As I've written on here before, I have been told by several people in a position to know that I have Asperger's (it really didn't get any attention in this country until 1994 when I was into high school) and getting a diagnosis at this point doesn't really do much. )

This is a no-brainier. Keep the guy who performed. And to anyone with a hang-up about the $.... WTH? $3M as a percentage of today's cap is probably on par to the percentage kickers were getting ten years ago when Lindell came aboard. With the rising tide, all the boats float higher. I'd rather have a clutch kicker than an unproven, injury-return rookie & whatever pride comes from squeezing a nickel until the buffalo stevestojans. Pay the man!

I'll raise my hand. I binge-watched the whole second season Friday night, yesterday and this morning. At the end of Episode 14 (the first of the second season), my jaw just hit the floor. And I couldn't stop watching. Netflix announced before the s2 release that there will be a third season.

My GSP had been taught to wait until I say OK and then to take milk-bones/scraps/pineapple/what-have-you gently Great dogs, great breed. A bit high-strung in youth, but they mellow out with age. Fun personalities, and the GSP head-tilting is second to none. I've had some real characters! [sniff] and my current little buddy is no exception. Oh... and... Labs are nice dogs, too.

IINM, that's a German shorthaired pointer.

Speed-skating (long- and short-track) and biathlon.

Think of it as giving Valentines' to the characters. Then again, I dunno.... this update seems a bit shallow, except for the Tunnel of Love for Krustyland. It seems as if the Squidport tile trick has been figured out by TPTB. Nice while it lasted!

My favorite U.S. Winter Olympic female athletes: Hilary Knight - hockey Alyson Dudek - short-track speedskating Amy Purdy - Paralympic snowboarder http://www.girlisnota4letterword.com/2013/11/going-to-sochi-with-amy-purdy.html#.UvE2FSq9KSM

Seven donuts for finishing the Super Bowl quest! Woo Hoo!

So... my 6-year-old niece just tapped on the boardwalk section after I expressly told her not to. I scrolled over to the left and she was like, "I wanna see the cemetary!" and moved back over. I said again not to click on that. And then BAM! Yep, she's a female. *Sigh* 3 1/2 days until regeneration now.

Sorry, but Luke and Margie (it's a mum & deaf son team, BTW) are one of my favorites along with the Cowboys, and the Country Singer blondes . One of the awesome things about this show is that they have gone to great lengths to include people with disabilities, rather than shun them in favor of 'All Beautiful People, All the Time' as MANY other shows do. And as it turns out, the disabled competitions here are often more beautiful and human and kick-ass than the 'normal' people. (I'm just thankful the goth couple isn't back.)

I clicked on it by accident a few days ago. I have ~ 4 hours to go until it's ready again. And I'm still collecting tiles. Thanks!

Accidentally tapped on both hands for the Squidport tile during collection. Frippin' Frappin' Flappin'.... >:-/ Well, it'll be another three days. Happy to have gotten my Freak Show shantyville out to the docks already, tho. Nice little 'cheat' here. It would've taken another three months to do that. Thanks, guys!

Uhmm.... I'd rather have him holding the Lombardi trophy. And It should be like they do in the NHL. No one touches a trophy unless/until it's the BIG one.

Hmm. If my peeps here could click on the Squidport tile for me when it's ready, that would be cool. I think it'll be another two days before the current one is ready and I hope this trick works. I've been trying to build an offshoot jetty to house the Freak Show. I'm at 3 days per tile now and it's so slow-going...!

gildedarmor12 Like Mrags said, if you need any help, ask here.

No tricks, other than luck. As I wrote, it took me ~70 spins to finally get the ClausCo building. (I had actually landed on it twice and got shafted by the peg toggle thingie. Flippin' flappin'....) And yeah, it'd be nice to get it, b/c in future Christmas events, it'll help you out e.g. how the previous year's graveyards/mausoleums etc. gave out extra ghosts this past Halloween. That donut discount from Gil didn't last all that long, either. I picked up some iTunes cards at BJ's just after Christmas, and it was gone. Oh well. I'll sit on them, then.

OK, smart@--es, when I said the girl from the Swiffer ad, I meant the brunette here: http://www.ispot.tv/...jet-generations

Finally got the ClausCo building today, after literally ~ 70 spins. (I have 97K cards.) Then again, I had landed on it TWICE before, with the spinner toggle nudging the edge of a divider pole, but still IN the ClausCo section... and it gave me the prize on the other £^€%ing side --- money. GRRRRR!!! So, no more need to drop gift bags in my Springfield. Give 'em to those who need 'em, and good luck!

This is a league that's bent over backward to give offenses the upper hand to increase scoring. Have to improve the O. TE needs to be upgraded. Chandler UFA(?) may not be back. I have a weird feeling that Stevie isn't going to be here next year. And if Graham is still here after this sorry-@$$ season.... Need to draft or develop another workhorse back to take over for FJ. (Don't get me wrong, FredEx is the man. But he's also going into year 8 at a position where the average career is ~ 1.75 seasons.) Continue drafting WRs. Whoever spotted/sold the FO on Woods and Goodwin should be listened to again. But I wouldn't mind going bigger / bulkier tweener TEs ala the Pats* model. Draft OL. Needs reinforcement. LG especially. RT and better depth secondarily.
