He can have 11 guests on board with him so who are the the other 7 besides you, the lovely Mrs. Cripple Creek, Me and equally lovely Mrs. Buffalo Bill?
Pool’s a little small, can only fit 1 helicopter, nothing bigger than Bell 429 type as well, only 1 Car, what happens if I need to drive twice in a day somewhere, use the same car...

Newcastle, Australia. If you ever get a chance it’s an amazing place. It also has one of the more attractive folk to nonatttactive folk ratios I’ve ever seen in a place. It was literally jaw dropping. Everyone is super fit, so it seemed.

Hey all,
About three weeks ago my dog, Bear, started acting a little strange. He started throwing up at night and drooling a lot more than usual (He's a 7 year old Newfoundland). He's also been eating very strangely, chewing his food far more than he used to with his jaw making a 'clicking' sound while chewing.
I couldn't figure out what was wrong. There is nothing stuck in his throat and his poop and whatnot is normal (sorry to be graphic).
Took him to the vet yesterday. He has no sign of infection. His temperature and blood sugar are both fine. What wasn't fine were his platelet and protein levels, which a blood test showed were a little low and a little high, respectively.
Now, the vet couldn't say what was wrong at all. There are a lot of things that could be wrong. But, if he had to guess, there's one thing.
Liver cancer.
Newfoundlands are a higher risk for it. It would explain the drool and the throwing up (nausea).
The only other thing I believe it could be would be heartworms or some sort of poisoning. However, without X-Rays, we cannot be sure.
He ate some this morning, more than in a while, and went for a short walk, which I thought was good. He still won't drink anything, which is very strange. You'd think with cancer he would want to drink a ton.
I've been something of a mess during this whole situation, and I was wondering if any of you fine people have been down this road before. I am still in shock about this. His checkup in August was perfect. How could this have come up so fast? Not to mention, around Christmas time.
If any of you are the praying type, send some prayers for both him and me. It's gonna be a rough Christmas.

Cardiac fine?

There is zero chance of becoming wealthy from smoking. Not a good comparison at all.
Phillip Morris may disagree, I know your point though.

Certainly not in the way it is currently played.
Running backs shouldn't play in the NFL longer than two or three full-time seasons. These guys playing into their 30's are insane.
Robert Smith is the example.

We have wild monk parakeets here... But it's 20° F out, they are hunkering down in their cocoons in the oak trees. They like the pods from the locust trees... Noisy, nasty little squawkers, always fighting w/each other.
Ringed parrots much the same, squawkers too. There’s a definite pecking order and often they can be seen pairing up. Have 2 feeders, try to minimise the fighting! Come on, it’s free bird food, ease up. Pigeons sit back, wait ‘til they fight each other off. We back onto a park with a creek. I’ve got a chair out on the lawn and to down time sit out there, watch the birds, the old dogs will come and sit and the kids come and play around. My daughter calls it ‘day watching’, I’m sure at my most relaxed there.

We took over a house that the ol’ folk couldn’t keep up the garden, including a pond. It was filthy. My son and I drained it and found 13 fish. All light bronze gold fish. And a sad Lilly. The water was mud soup. Cleaned it. Added clean water from rain water tank, set up an overflow so that the pond water watered the ferns. Well the fish got their colour back, the Lilly flowers and the ferns are going crazy.

Feed, I think I support the bird life of the area. We have Ringed parrots, King parrot, Cockatoos, galahs, occasional Kookaburra’s, Grey Butcher bird and we have 3 magpies that appear at breakfast, will sing for breakfast scraps too. Also the possum gets fruit scraps at nite. The Tawny Frogmouths don’t need feeding but sit in our tree. Our old dogs keep the cats away and I think the birds have figured the dogs are old.

1 week seems pretty light in lieu of CTE and concussion. Warren Sapp's dirty hit on Clifton in the 2000's maybe forgotten by this dirty shot. Sapp's was at least in bounds, in play at the time... just "dirty". Late, Intentional, High to the Head, opposition player White, defenseless... Gregg Williams been asked to comment yet?
But, I'm wrong, it was completely Ok as he was being held during the route and he was upset that that wasn't flagged (as long as we're ignoring his push off as well...).

Interesting, Bill Burr did make a joke about a fictional Bills draft pick once. And I bet he is a clapper too!
Was the player he drafted for the Bills be out of what the ‘consensus’ position would have been & wasn’t a ‘consensus’ need, wasn’t the BPA, considered a luxury as we already have 2 good RB’s, costing us draft picks in a trade up, had we stayed out he’d have likely been there. That he was a steal, only a year out from a devasrating injury, our doctors have cleared him. How divided the fan base was with the pick, that the pick was a need as we now just cut or released a quality starter in that position, but kept a player we were all in agreement should have been cut from a position there was a greater college prospect... We then drink the cool aide as the pick becomes a Bill. We defend it terrifically, saying you can’t really judge a draft until 3 years later. So after 3 years when we cut him we get annoyed as the internet allows us to remember, these draft pages never forget. Then we watch, in bewilderment as another team gets more value from him than we did or he goes to a team and is pivotal in there SB run.
That said, this reminds me of my Colts fan reaction to the draft as well...

33-9 = 24 percent of men were going solo,
Is "GPS set destination to 1 Debbiedoes Boulevard; Dallas Tx" some sort of cheat code?
Or there’s a hard dating lady over in the 9% and a couple mates who may be more than mates...

They had Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly - all at one time.
The football gods deemed the bills having too much talent at one time
hence the curse.
And the Cowboys got a free pass? Aikman (did you know spell check comes up with ailment for Aikman...), Emmit, Larry Allen, Deion, Charles Haley, Woodson, Irvin... some pretty decent roster names, depth as well, Novacek, Maryland, Moose, Williams, Newton ☹️????

Well, it's not like McDermott hired his twin brother to help him fix things...so he's got that going for him, which is nice...
No, his twins doing well enough from comedy, though I do wonder how the D would go with Bill Burr coaching?

There was an original series from the 80’s, ‘Prisoner’. It’s a modern showing. The original was huge out here in its day. I was too young to watch and we weren’t allowed!

You all have had a loved one pass and it is most difficult. They say my Mom is passing on tonight or tomorrow. I had this wonderful woman for almost 64 years( boy I'm old) Well it's hard not to cry and feel bad but she was an angel on earth and God wants her back. She will now join Dad and my husband. I hope they have a great long time before I join them. Happy Thanksgiving.
There are few words, take care.

Your dog has a model year?
Was there a 3 year 36k mile warranty or any factory recalls? ?
Actually mine are Border Collies off of my Uncle’s Farm. One of his recent dogs got him a 4th in the World Championships for Working Dogs recently.
Anyways, his dogs come with a full year guarantee, satisfied or return, no questions asked. It’s on the pedigree certificate that comes with them.
We always send him a photo of the dogs relaxing in style with a comment, we’re not returning to the farm, ever!
Good dogs. That’ll do, that’ll do.

Lynch had a small bit on Brooklyn 99, a segment with Tanked, which he had a fish tank built. Meant less when he left ?. Oh and Brooklyn 99 has an episode up in Rochester with the Buffalo PD, Buffalo PD got busted for some corrupt activity... FWIW... ?

I enjoyed the 5-2 start. I enjoyed the wins. The last three games were about as bad as you can get so I understand feeling down on the Bills. It would be easy to just start following the Patriots and feel like winners.
I can't leave my team. They like a kid you have that isn't perfect but you love them anyway. Still bail them out of jail even while saying how stupid they are.
Am I wrong thinking if this team had a losing season everybody would be more relaxed touting the moniker "rebuild"? That the real reason for the hurt is missing the playoffs because we in a drought and that's all that matters?
The new regime is getting dumped to early in my view.
My analogy was just a kid with a learning difficulty, you know, struggled with the alphabet or counting, but bailing out of jail... Lfod, that escalated my parenting anxiety. ?

The creepy yelping, bickering sound that coyotes make. I know it's only a few that mask their numbers to sound like more. But, it gets creepy, last evening was an especially rambunctious night for them.
Have you heard a possum (ring tail) @ nite? Scares the crap out of the kids.
Koala’s have an impressively intimidating growl at nite, if you didn’t know it was a koala...

Photoplethysmograthy has the most annoying sound. I usually have the volume on for but a moment during assessments.

Ouch. That reminded me of LT ending Theisman's career.
Remember when Jim Kelly knocked a Falcon out of bounds & a moment or so later his leg snapped? About ‘95. Bills @ home to Falcs. Kelly cut him off, after a pick, pass to maybe Russel Copeland or Billy Brooks... knocked his stride out of bounds and his leg just wobbles up behind him. Can’t remember the Falc name but felt bad for Jimbo.
...the other one was Tim Krumrie snapping his leg in the Super Bowl, Bengals v 9ers. They kept circling on TV the moment his leg snapped, commenting, circling it... aghhh, once is enough!!!!
You know Kyle and Eric as well as other talking about Marrone

Ross Lyon did this in the Australian Football League. Had his team, St. Kilda in finals, top 4 finishes, a Grand Final (= Superbow). Went to the Board during his final year for contract extension talks & was told they’d review it at years end, when at years end his contract expired he signed with another club, took that club to a Grand Final as well. He’s still viewed as having walked out on his club, he viewed it as job security, family security in knowing what they would be up to.
