Thanks Dean...AVG uninstalled...Avira downloading now

So you'd recommend Avira?

I'm on the AVG free trial right now. I had it with McAfee...total crap. AVG seems to be doing it's job well. I may go ahead and purchase for the year.

The Jets are clearly in trouble at their L guard spot....holy crap, that "Big Vlad" guy or whatever his name is SUCKS!!! I tell you what, though, I hope none of our guys gets in the way of "The Terminator"....did you guys see the hits he was putting on people in those preseason games?? Holy hell is he a badass...

I've been with Geico for the past few years and have no complaints. Pretty happy with the rate...good customer service.

I know, right? Guy has ONE film that gets some critical attention (JCVD), and all of a sudden he's too busy for Stallone.

Once again Sunil drops the ball...maybe that is the guy who needs to go.

Wasn't that the time period when the Colts moved away? If so, what was that like?

Given the nature and the risks of this game, I'm usually supportive of players who are playing at a high level and who seek to have their contracts re-negotiated based on their play. But these losers who get the massive contracts and then mail it in from there are total losers. I'd want the big money for my play too, but once I had it and I didn't have to worry about it anymore, I'd be balls to the wall every day trying to continue earning that money. How anyone can take MILLIONS from a team/company/etc and not feel obligated to go out there and give their best is just unfathomable to me. I know it happens, and it happens a lot....but wow, that's just not in my wiring I guess.

I never spent any time with the bar scene, but I bet it's awesome there. The mid-Atlantic is probably my favorite part of the country, and bmore is right in the heart of that. I'd move back there in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself.

I bet that's a beautiful place to see a game. I was there briefly in '95 and went to Camden Yards a couple times....what a great experience! That ballpark at night is truly magical. I love B-more...lived in Columbia, but was within an earshot of the city. The Inner Harbour is a great place to walk around and there are some very nice restaurants there. I could go for some cream of crab soup right about now....delish!

Well dang, I guess I better get to drinkin!

I was so set on seeing it this weekend but ended up moving into a new place instead (weird turn of events). Anyway, can't wait! I still wish Jean Claude's pansy ass would have been in this. If Arnold and Bruce can contribute a cameo, fuggin Jean Claude can spend a day filming something too. Would have been nice to have a more complete gathering of 80s action stars. Oh well, fugg'em.

Klinsmann has extensive international soccer experience both as a player and a coach. He is exactly what we need, because his standards would be FAR different than what Bradley or any other American coach would have, and the players would be in a position of needing to raise their game in order to meet them. The overall skill level of our team would increase and we'd be a much larger threat on the world stage. I wholeheartedly believe that. Klinsmann was good enough to be the head coach of one of the greatest teams in the world and he had success in that role. This is the kind of coach we need. Pay him whatever he wants, he's worth it. Coach Bradley did a respectable job, but he'll never put this team on par with the best teams in the world (not named Italy, Brazil, or Germany).

He's German, not Italian

With regard to the BP, there is often a cause you can point to, but many cases are idiopathic in the sense that the MD has no clue why an individual would have hypertension. Sometimes all you can do is treat the symptoms when there is no observable cause to put a finger on. As for my sleep disorder, mine was most certainly related to a back injury, which led to a more limited and sedentary lifestyle, which led to weight gain, which led to a greater likelihood of obstruction when the tissues in my mouth relaxed, which led to (obstructive) sleep apnea. Chances are, when I get back down to my goal weight of 210 my symptoms will be greatly reduced, but I have a ways to go yet. I seem to be waking up almost in the exact same position I went to sleep in (on my side), which is something that never happened before. So far the mask seems to be staying put as long as I sort of prop the pillow appropriately, but if that changes I'm definitely going to look into the nasal pillows. One of my coworkers uses that too, and she loves it.

I definitely understand where you're coming from, dean lol...I can't imagine ever getting so comfortable with the darth vader look that I have success every night; I can certainly see myself ripping the damn thing off quite often! When I first met with the RT, he was telling me to make sure it's not too tight, but what I've found is that I'm better off having it fit pretty snugly, cause otherwise it'll shift and I'll set myself up for the face farts again. Last night I pulled the top straps tighter and it stayed put even when I was lying on my side. I think I didn't realize just how crappy I had been feeling in the morning, cause waking up feeling the way I did today was almost like a new experience for me. I tell you what the biggest pain in the ass is is having to clean the damn mask and water reservoir every damn day....small price to pay, though, I keep telling myself.

I'm not getting my hopes up, cause I was all set for signing the guy last time around and they botched it. That being said... PLEASE GOD, LET US GET THIS DONE!!!!!!

CJ Spiller is fuggin FAST

I miss Perry Fewell

I don't blame CJ at all. Half the fuggin Bengals defense was in our backfield by the time he got the handoff. This is why we need SMART offensive playcalling...they have got to be made to respect our passing game so that we can have success on the ground. This drive they just finished was very, very nice. The CJ loss of yardage plays were overcome with short, quick passes....the D had to play more honestly, and we got things moving because of it. Nice job, boys.

Thanks! lol

Thought I would give a quick update on my progress... So I ended up taking the bipap machine home last week. My machine has a "ramp up" feature where it starts out low and gradually increases the pressure until it hits the prescribed amount. Well, once I got the mask on correctly to where there were no leaks, I fired it up on night #1 and looked forward to my first restful sleep in some time. I sat there the first few mins, lying on my back, the experience being not nearly as bad as I thought. That lasted another 20 mins or so until the machine started getting close to the pressures that the MD ordered. All of a sudden it was so much air slamming into my face that the mask was literally moving around and making fart-like noises as the pockets of air seeped out the sides. While I did appreciate the nostalgia this created of the last time Lana and I were sleeping in the same bed, it wasn't really helping me get any rest. I called the respiratory therapist who calibrated the machine and told him what was up. The next day the Respiratory guy said he was going to call the sleep center for me and get an order for new settings. I was somewhat hopeful but by the time Monday came around I had tried the bipap a couple more times with the same result. It was almost as if this stupid machine was making it MORE difficult to sleep than it was before. So anyway, yesterday I take my machine over to the RT guy (finally), and he says "it's now on an auto setting and it will give you what you need during the night." He told me to bring it back in a week and they would download the info off the little chip/card thing that was installed inside. Well, last night I went to bed around 3am. There was football on the NFL network, my sheets were clean, and the air was nice and cool. I looked over at the evil bipap machine wondering if it would cooperate with me tonight or whether I would be in for yet another night of face farting. I put on the mask, turned onto my side, gave the dogs a little pat on the head goodnight, and...the next thing I know it's 10:00am!! Holy crap, it worked! The mask was still on, I hadn't gotten up even once during the night, and I slept continuously for over 6 hrs. I noticed I didn't have a headache....didn't feel groggy...and I didn't really have that overwhelming desire to another ten mins of sleep before getting up. I really couldn't believe it! So, tonight will be night #2. Hopefully I'll have similar success because I return to work on Tuesday (after taking a few days off to get adjusted to this thing) and I can't be allowing face farts to keep me up all night anymore. If last night was any indication, those are a thing of the past. Finally on the right track!

He's in some DEEEEEP doodoo

Billy Volek is a grade A P***Y who is content with doing as little as possible in the NFL while collecting a paycheck. Not exactly the type of player I want on the team.
