  1. .... Still waiting for ONE, just ONE, of my liberal friends on Facebook to speak out about this, even condemn it in the slightest.... involves a woman ✔️ involves a Ukrainian ✔️ involves an immigrant ✔️
  2. Lord knows anyone in this thread defending this idiot would be shouting from the mountain top and defending Josh Allen if Josh did this to an opposing fan who was hitting Bills player(s) like that after a touchdown. You'd be calling for the fan's head like the French peasants calling for Marie Antoinette's.
  3. Credit: John Allen (Offense) and Ed Oliver (Defense) No credit: The fake ass fans who left the stadium before it was over, I loved that Josh took a shot at them in the post-game interview.
  4. Ravens jump out to an early halftime lead 17-6, and hold on 27-19. Hope I'm wrong, but I am basing this on the minimal playing time the starters had this preseason (anticipating sloppy play to start the game, hence being down at halftime) and a lack of confidence in our secondary and WR corps.
  5. I go after mom and pop stores. F your livelihood if you think you are going to charge me 30% more than Home Depot because it's a "family-owned business". I'll buy this hammer, but I'll pocket some nuts and bolts when you aren't looking.
  6. 90 .... Bills, Sabres, Knicks, Guardians (Indians)
  7. Nothing crazy like some of you guys. I always bought cheap used cars. I had a 2014 toyota cruze that I liked and that I wanted to beat into the ground, but 1) going down the highway and busy main roads with my 1 daughter felt completely unsafe, especially with the amount of crazy "me first drivers" 2) it had a progressive oil leak that was getting worse and worse, so it was time to get a new/newer SUV. I never went full on new car before, I grew up in a family were we wore or rode everything into the ground so I knew if I got a good one, and kept it nice it could last me 10-15 years or better. Did lots and lots of research, narrowed it down to Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV and Subaru Forrester. My favorite of the bunch, the Rav4 is what I ended up going with. Now it came down to where to buy it. I did not need the one with all the glitz and glamour, my parents both grew up extremely dirt poor, we did fine growing up (dad a teacher and mom a nurse), but dad's mentality was to always stretch a dollar, so we did not have anything fancy whether it was cars, clothes, house, etc. So I have slightly acquired a little of that mentality in the sense that I do not need anything fancy, so I went with the basic model, because it had everything I need to go from A to B. I read up on strategies to lower the price tag, admittedly I suck at negotiations, but one tactic I thought I could employ easily was to pit the 3-4 main dealerships in the area against each other to see who would give me the best price. It worked I was able to work them down until they started dropping out 1 by 1, and eventually the last two remaining were trying to outdo each other with "their best price" even got to the point of them asking for the offer sheet of the other dealership to make sure I was not lying, which I gladly showed them. I ended up getting about 5-6 thousand off the listed price in addition to 2500 for the chevy cruze (oil was pretty bad a this point, but my mechanic cleaned up the engine pretty good prior to trading it in, so it was not very noticeable). The only part that was bad in this process from my standpoint was the guy trying to sell the extended warranty. He acted nice, I had my wife and daughter with me, and he was trying to sell me an additional warranty by saying that it covers rotors and what not in addition to something else. Something did not feel right, I bought one when I got the Cruze and it was a nightmare to get the company I bought the warranty from to cover something that was listed in the warranty in black and white, so I was very cautious about this. Anyways I took the sheet home with me and told him I would let him know in 24-48 hours, and when I googled it, I found out the warranty he was trying to sell me in fact did not cover what he was telling me as his main selling point, that it was a different warranty that the company sold that covered these things, not this one. I unloaded on his ass like no other, I was not pleasant saying he knowingly lied to my face, my wife's face and I brought the proof of the two different warranties off of the company's website. He backed off pretty quick when he realized I found out he was lying and that the dealership was about to lose the sale if he said another word to me.
  8. It's good. I live in the Bushnell's Basin area, so I am about 5-10 minutes away from Pittsford Dairy. It's not life-changing, so I wouldn't advise people from far outside of the Rochester metropolitan area to make a trip just for that. I would recommend checking it out if you're in town though.
  9. One more ***** launched onto midfield
  10. It was a good episode. I wasn't blown away by anything, it was similar to the other Hard Knocks except this had our guys on it this time, so it seemed more special in that sense. Funny part was my wife became a Bills fan after we got together almost 7 years ago and knows little to nothing about the old timer's only by name, and that's only probably Jim Kelly. Anyways, when the show had Thurman Thomas on and had a couple close ups of him, she all of a sudden says "Hey that's the guy I met at Wegmans (Pittsford)!"... When I asked what she met, she said she was walking down the eisle with of 3 year old this past weekend and he was walking down same eisle, just those two in the whole eisle, no one else, and she gave a friendly smile and he stopped and talked to her, unbeknownst to her he was a HOF NFL player and my favorite player growing up. She said they chatted for a minute (not about the Bills because she had no clue who he was, just a candid chat), and he told our daughter he loves her pink glasses and the dress she was wearing. She thought to herself, wow you are big, you look like you play in the NFL but your too old so probably not lol. Low and behold, during last night's episode she found out she was talking to Bills royalty haha
  11. Lived here my whole life. Not a fan of it personally for many reasons, but my wife wants to stay because family is nearby, and while we have a little one and another one on the way. We are making the move this week to the busnell's basin area which is nice because it is in the center of the three main towns we used (Victor, Fairport and Pittsford). I will agree with others, life is pretty good on the eastside.
  12. Working out (strength training and bodybuilding) Cooking Yard work/landscaping Investing I should be able to continue with all of those when I start my new NP job in Oct
  13. I hope Bass can get his "pelvis soreness" under control
  14. In order from favorite to least: Summer, Fall, Spring..............................................................................................................................................................................winter.
  15. I just logged onto ticketmaster and got 6 General Admission tickets to the Blue and Red practice without batting an eye.
  16. Scored 4 tickets for July 29th, two years in a row!
  17. It's funny, I was in elementary school (3rd grade) for this game, and was at a birthday party and we were playing football in the back because the classmate with the birthday had a large rectangular backyard. When my mom came to pick me up I asked about the Bills game and she told me the Bills won and the score and I did quick math in my head and thought the Bills score was unusual. So I asked how it happened and remember her vividly to this day saying "they scored a lot of touchdowns and the refs gave the Bills two points for some reason". This thread and youtube video was the first time I actually saw why "the refs gave the Bills two points" after all of these years lol
  18. $500, I'll take the Lombardi, $5,000 I would go with the Lombardi. $50K is when I would start to strongly consider the money, with good solid investments, that $50k would be a heck of a lot more in 20-25 years. 100K is probably the line where it would be a definite "take the money and run"
