  1. Went to the Suffolk VA dump Friday (off of 58 South). They've got a nice new dumping station for people in regular cars. The energetic dude directing traffic was wearing a Buffalo Bills Hardhat. Way cool! I wanted to to strike up a conversation.. but a busy dump just wasn't conducive to Bills chit chat The place was hopping. It makes me smile. It is so fitting for a town to have their dump run by a Blue Collar Bills fan. OK.. which one of you guys runs the dump? (a prestigous job in these parts )
  2. Jests in no will in no way be as good as the author (Soderburg) states. No way they'll challenge Patsy's for the division. Maybe it's another ad nauseum case of a sportswriter sucking up to major market teams... if I had a dime for each time Jests/Gints/Cowboys/Skins were written up by an MSM outlet to dominate, only to end up barely making it through the season... I'd be a rich man. Jests problems: Pennington's shoulder, new O coordinator, secondary o-line... serious issues. Google or Yahoo search Soderburg comes up nearly zip. Was this his first article?
  3. Try navigating the Army red tape with the help of people in these forums: Army Times Maybe someone there knows him. If the Army part is true... Good Luck!
  4. I know.. a trivial matter with a pre-season game just hours away.. But Coffee Crisp is absolute heaven, and I've been without since moving out of WNY. I'm going to order a box from here: Candy Direct. Now if you could only order Molson Brador! Consider Brador the Canuck version of Malt Liqour Bull, but much better. ==== Football.... I feel real good about the Biill's this year, but my concern remains regarding two areas: Field Goals and Tight Ends. ...I just don't feel good about either, and feel that both are under-rated in terms of importance. I think these were overlooked weak spots last year. Lindell... who has a warm fuzzy? Tight Ends..? Not much noise coming out of Training Camp. Let's hope the surgey's went well.
  5. Her "little twig arms" will be fine in the future. I'll bet they are refraining from weight training at the moment because she is still growing into her body. To weight train now could possibly risk her future development. There is no need to risk premature weight training at this stage.. she is already kicking butt. When she's about 17 or so, they can safely start weight training and she'll be a beast on the greens.
  6. It doesn't get much better than this.. for me at least. NY State Hog Rally. Checkout the photos section. Finger Lakes is maybe one of the most under-rated areas in the US, IMHO. Harleys, Finger Lakes... if I could add the Bills it would be the perfect Trinity. Too bad training camp doesn't start until 29 July
  7. Above all.... telll your buddy to be careful about NOT giving any hints that he is in the military. Creditors & credit agencies LOVE military because they have a much higher probability of getting something. The conversation goes something like this: "We're going to call your Commanding Officer blah blah blah Commanding Officer blah blah blah Commanding Officer blah blah blah" Before you know it, you're in hot water that civilians just don't understand. It's a great system when the member is truly screwing some creditor, but it sucks when your falsely accused. You probably already knew this.
  8. Yep. Someone here said Pharmacueticals. Agree. Several coworkers have bailed to pharma sales and are making bucks. BTW... you don't need a med degree or anything like that, they do all the training. What you would need to do is build up your sales background before sitting with the pharma head hunter. Keep on working at Car Max (that will also see if your 2K month was a freak incident). Do the 05/06 school year as a teacher, then start looking. A friend of mine went into pharma sales to veterinarians... all he had going in was an on-line AAS in Mgt. They trained him, and he's doing well.
  9. why.. jobs. where.. military, at the moment in Southern VA home compares... about the same, with the exception the value is going UP move back... after I reitre from military, YES if there were jobs Quality of Life: 1. Bflo needs to right size their government. Bflo really needs to bag the Common Council and Mayor and go with a City Manager form of govt. 2. Erie County needs to do number 1 above. 3. KEEP THE BILLS!!!!
  10. I suggest lightening up. Bflo is NOT any more racist than the rest of the country. Bflo people are just more honest about it. The rest of the country, especially the South, is better at hiding their predjudices than the honest genuine people in Bflo.
  11. I couldn't open the article. I'd be interested in how he predicted teams in large markets. Hypothesis: He sucks up to the large market teams/fans (whether they deserve it or not) to boost his readership. So how did he rank: Dallas, Skins, Patsys, Iggles, Gints, Jets? The acid test is how he rates Dallas and Skins.
  12. For the unaware... Fleet Enema? Now why this is a website... I don't know. Takes all kinds of sicko's to run the world.
  13. Don't know if it's been said in this SEVEN page thread... it's been reported that he drinks puppies straight from the blender.
  14. Dave Thomas & Promo Those were the days. Channels 2, 4, 7, 17. ..and you had to hold the antenna with your hand to get rid of the fuzz. Later, cool re-runs were available when Ch. 29 was born. Later, when Dad got a raise, you moved upscale with a roof top antenna with rotor and got the Toronto stations. Wok with what his name, and Alan what his name, and Saturday afternoon curling.
  15. Was a 9.8 mil cap hit for Mike Williams a typo? Egads... that stuck out like a sore thumb. He's not worth that kind of dinero. Sam Adams and Chris Villarial numbers seemed over their worth also.
  16. I thought it was a Porche 911? I remember pics in the "News" ..or was it the "Courier" ?
  17. Add to the list... the habit of putting "the" (or "da") in front of a road name. Examples: "the 198" "the thruway" "da truway" "da 90" If you came down here and said "I took the 95" you would certainly be pegged as an out of towner.
  18. Lucky you didn't get a ticket... over 80 is Reckless Driving in most locales. Ouch. How and "what" is that Red Bull stuff? I see it everywhere. You have returned to the land of milk and honey. Jealous, I am.
  19. There's only two things wrong with the South: 1. The slow pace.. fast food for example goes in slo-mo. But, once you resign yourself to the pace you're OK. 2. The Italian food sucks!!! (few exceptions)
  20. I'd like to see the IP addresses of okeefe and STJ... likely the same. But if okeefe is for real, STJ should sleep with one eye open. okeefe is the next Cable Guy.
  21. But this is the best street level LE job United States Capitol Police They are having trouble recruiting.. because they are looking at the same applicants as FBI, Marshalls etc.. End result: those on board are making buckets of overtime. Cool thing about Capitol Police... you can get a Federal LE retirement (very nice)... but not be subject to moving all over the country.
  22. AAS from ECC... a good way to save some bucks. Transfer to RIT, got a BS in mid-80's Took a class or two at UB. MS from Johns Hopkins, 2002. But for my third career, I think I'll take an apprenticeship at Newport News shipyard. I'm tired of executive work, I want to work with my hands.
  23. I think it could hurt efforts to move Henry. Cards are said to want a new contract with Henry if they trade for him. A contract between Henry and the Cards will likely eat more cap, than the cap savings gained by unloading the relatively cheap Shelton contract. Having said that, maybe the Cards are in good cap shape even after signing KW. I don't know... But I would like to see Shelton a Bill/
  24. Yep. The key is to get 802.11G. The G is critical. There are B systems out there that are outdated, insecure and slow. The retailers are trying to give away the B systems... e.g. you'll see B systems for $50 with a $50 mail in rebate. G is what you want. Once you get your system going you can join the geek cult of Homebrew Antenna Tweakers. These guys can party!
