Josh will be wearing a visor this week
billsfanmiamioh replied to UConn James's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think all visors need to be “approved” by the league ahead of the game but I’m not totally sure on this. Or if there is an exemption for injury. -
My seasons are in 109, my sister and brother in law and another couple are using my seats this week or else I’d buy ya a cold one! You’ll love the seats, I’m in row 27 and you still feel very close to the action. Pro tip, use the bathroom by the small bills store right outside 110. It may look like the line is long but it moves fairly quick. Way faster than the first one that you see after entering the gate when you head down into the concourse area. Enjoy the final squishing of the fish at the Ralph!

Parsons traded to Green Bay, given $188 million contract

All it takes is one ACL (see Von) and yes. -
I did this a couple years ago and it has turned out to be a great move for me. I’ll be 42 in Feb and I spent 17 years with the same company that I started with a couple weeks after graduating from undergrad. This work was in a highly specialized / niche type industry that wasn’t directly related to my degree, but it was an opportunity to earn some money while deciding what my next move would be. This was a family owned company that I had a connection into and I eventually worked my way up from an entry level position into management. I was very well compensated but was very unhappy (hard to explain concisely). I became married to the paycheck and just kept plugging along dispute many years of unhappiness, red flags, and my gut telling me to do something different. i eventually found a masters program that was mostly online and in a field that was very interesting to me in an emerging industry. It also allowed me to get back to my science background from undergrad (where I had underperformed overall due to screwing around too much freshman year and having to play “catchup” on my GPA, which is what originally put me in a tough position post graduation and was the main factor for me taking my previous job). I was able to still work full time while completing the masters degree in 2 years (including summers) and after I graduated I quit my job. I didn’t even have anything lined up yet but I was mentally done and needed to escape. Luckily my wife has a great job and we had planned ahead for a possible extended period of unemployment for me as I made the career change, so we were prepared financially.! I eventually landed the exact type of job I was hoping to by going back to school and it has been a blessing. I’m now a state employee and while the money isn’t near what I was making, I’m infinitely happier and have so much more flexibility in my life to spend time with my wife and son. I’m only a 15 months in and it sounds like there’s already opportunities for advancement on the horizon which would put me back in the realm of my previous earnings. Most importantly, I actually like my job now. It’s not easy by any means but it’s exciting, fast paced, and is a great marrying of my skills from my old job and the knowledge I obtained from my masters program. If you can swing this move financially, I highly suggest going for it. You are younger than I was and I regret not making the move sooner for my own mental health and wellbeing. It took a lot of hard work going back to school after 15-16 years off but it all worked out in the end. Hoping it will for you as well, so good luck!

Head to Abruzzo in Whitefish! Last year saw him here: thirtyeightwhitefish.com -
What's your ideal retirement location?
billsfanmiamioh replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Sedona is great. We did a big loop out west starting and ending in Vegas when the wife was pregnant. Did Glen Canyon dam, couple days at the South Rim then headed to Sedona for a few nights. We stayed at Enchantment Resort and did the nearby hike to the Boynton Canyon vortex. It’s a very unique / powerful feeling. Hard to describe. -
What's your ideal retirement location?
billsfanmiamioh replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Without getting into too much detail, we’ve learned the hard way that life can throw you a rude awaking for some of the plans you’ve dreamt up for later in life. We’ve made the mutual decision to retire as soon as we can, and we should be able to in 13-15 years at a relatively “young” age. Doesn’t mean we’d necessarily be done working, it would just be totally on our terms (consulting, owning a business, etc) We’ll definitely be part of the split time / combo group and already have 2 in place. We’re very well established with friends and family in Columbus OH so we’ll always have something here even if it means downsizing to a condo or something. Our other main spot will be Whitefish, MT. We bought a condo there just over 4 years ago and do the Airbnb / short term rental thing. It generally pays for itself and we already get out there 4-6 times a year to ski in the winter, hike in the summer and sometimes do some work and just enjoy the small town vibes and great mom & pop small businesses in spring or fall. It’s truly a breathtaking area. We just got back from a short weekend trip and had an amazing time. We actually ran into and chatted with Lindy Ruff for the second straight summer, as he has a place there (probably much nicer than our 2 bed / 2 bath 1000 sq ft condo 😂) We will follow our son to some extent as he’s our only child so we’d get something nearby depending on where that is. Also depending on what that looks like, we’d maybe get something small in a warm/ beach climate of Florida or Carolina’s. Fun to think about it all, and no matter how it shakes out for anyone on this thread, I hope all are able to enjoy some form of their vision for a meaningful amount of time! -

Cannabis consumption on track to overtake alcohol
billsfanmiamioh replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall
Benzos and THC work on totally different receptors and have completely different pharmacology so it’s entirely possible that you’d be sensitive to one and not the other. We also still don’t know a whole lot about how the endocannabinoid system interacts with other signaling systems so it’s also possible that you could be sensitive to both or neither. People can also be relatively unaffected by cannabis edibles but will get their doors blown off by smoking / vaping. Edibles undergo first pass metabolism when broken down by the body and as you’d imagine this process has significant individual variability. THC inhalation generally produces more “predictable” effects. Nothing earth shattering here but I always like to point out some of this stuff when people say “weed doesn't affect me” or “weed makes me paranoid”. I’d be willing to bet that by playing around with different types of products (different cannabinoid concentrations), dosages, and routes of administration, THC can still be a viable option for people looking for relief (even if it doesn’t seem that way at first). This is especially true for those who are cannabis naive and have only tried it a handful of times. -
Cannabis consumption on track to overtake alcohol
billsfanmiamioh replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall
Try and edible with super low THC (like 2.5mg), high CBD (and other cannabinoids). Edibles are very “person specific” when it comes to their effect. This is about as low of a dose as you could go. If it still knocked you into La La land, I agree cannabis might not be a good option for you. Especially if it’s one of the hemp derived “farm bill compliant” THC beverages you see everywhere. The vast majority are not tested for potency and / or the labs running the analysis are pure trash. (Most of these beverages won’t have a COA) -

The cup holders on 3 of my 4 season seats are gone. We started with only 2/4 being functional when I moved to those seats but we managed to deal with it for a number of years. Pats playoff game put us down to one and it’s actually fairly annoying.

PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion
billsfanmiamioh replied to Spiderweb's topic in The Stadium Wall
The seats under the overhang aren’t the only “covered” seats that went into the 60% number. A number of the other covered seats are lower level or club level “covered” by the level above. My new seats will be closer to the top of the section (currently row 109, sec 27 but will be row 31 in mew stadium) and we will be mostly covered by the upper deck canopy. During my sales pitch, I got to do the virtual tour and was able to “look” straight up. I think we’ll end up being much more comfortable in bad weather games in the new stadium. Haters gonna hate -
Cleveland Browns building a new dome stadium
billsfanmiamioh replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
How many teams actually use them now? I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single one that is closed sometimes and open others. Retractable roofs are dead. They’re not worth the maintenance. It’s dome or open air -
Plane On Fire in Denver, Passengers Standing on Wing

Flew through Denver myself later last night. Glad nobody was seriously injured. -

That happened in Jacksonville. I was there. 98 yards. Also the game Eric Wood snapped his leg as a rookie. And of course, the Bills lost… Might be thinking of TO scoring on a reverse at the home opener that year vs Tampa bay. Think it was 50+ yards. I was wickedly hungover from a Bach party the night before in cincy. Left at like 4-5 am to drive up to Buffalo. It was rough. Only tailgate other than pre high school I didn’t have a drop of booze.

Too bad injuries derailed his career. Was rooting for a fellow Miami U alum! Love & Honor!

I’m up north in Westerville! Pilot gave a shoutout to the Bills on the mic before we left Denver, has to be a good omen!
