Was told to prepare for nicknames, I imagine Casper is at least one obvious one.
See how the initials line up. There was a kid who’s nickname was ‘Lavy’... his initials were WC!
We ended up whittling the list to 5 boy names and 5 girl names we both agreed on. & with the birth of # 1- we named her something not on the list... sometimes looking at the kid will invoke a name that’s not on the list.
What ever the name is, the kid will likely grow into it anyways. My sister’s kid is called Freya. She’s now 5’10” with snow white blonde hair, but Freya was an unusual name at the time.
My brother now lives in Georgia and his daughter is called Tara... see Gone with the Wind!
...don’t ask me, my boys are for real, called Thomas Thurman and Henry Jones... (my wife thinks Thurman is a great grand relative!)
Known a few Polish folk (& almost a friendly ghost) called Kaspar.

Busts, tired of drafting busts. This isn’t Hooters.
A Tweener D lineman, someone that played college edge/outside and is projected to play inside, but hasn’t...
i see Lonnie Johnson from Kentucky... has the size, but his name still conjures up one play... & that scares me more than Darren Sharper...

How much of that was the college coach wanting his college quarterback when opportunity presented?
-
I thought it said his name was Gru, from the Despicable Me franchise. Reading his personality, might be the villain too.

Definitely lost interest in Vikings awhile back. Maybe a series just following Lagertha could win me back- probably having seen Doro Pesch as a kid & all that leather... (Warlock- band).

Off to Download on Monday.
Slayer, Anthrax, Judas Priest, Alice in Chains.
Looking forward to it.

I watch Hancock’s Half Hour with my mum, sewing her laugh or cry, priceless.
i was (am) a Rik Mayall fan. Watch a lot from Filthy, Rich and Catflap, the Bottom Series (& live versions) to the Young Ones, New statesman, the Comic Strip Presents- did Vim Fuego inspire the look for Dave Mustaine?captain Flashart in Black Adder. The movie Guest House Paradiso nearly killed my brother and I- we still use the phrase “feeeeeeeeb” when visiting. Alan Barstard.
Horrible day when heard he had died. Eddie’s comment along the lines ‘what a bastard’.
as a young kid, we were allowed to watch the Goodies followed by Dr. Who. Was a bit young for Dr. Who at time.

the five times i saw an achilles get torn in front of me, there was little doubt that was what it was....
Hearing it is enough!

It was 44degC in Melbourne last Friday. Like an oven door had been left open.
Hotest was Las Vegas, the temperature listed outside, I think Caesar’s, was 116degF.

Memphis Belle, made the effort at the time to visit the real one when it was on open display.
The Lighthorsemen, Australian cavalry charge WW1, my Nana had a brother involved.
Another good Aussie one is Kokoda, set in Papua. The ***** coming through the forest at night is tense, they’re coming for the 39th Bataliion, basically young conscripts not meant for OS duties, but as Papua was an Oz protectorate... Diggers (Oz colloquial name for our soldiers) describe it as coming close to action in combat.

Matt Milano had surgery on his broken leg. I'm wondering why NFL players routinely have surgery after break? Does it help heal faster/better? Searched the net and couldn't find much on the topic. I'm sure it is better and wondering, other than cost, why the average Joe doesn't get the same treatment. Is it even an option for John Q. Public? Anybody know? I haven't broken a bone in 40+ years.
Depends on complexity of break- as simple as clean fracture where the ends are congruent to a spiral, SALTER Harris ankle, likelihood of break and avascular issues occurring, which bone- tibia is significant in load bearing but it’s friend and neighbor- fibula isn’t, relocation dease & distance,, cartilaginous issue, tendon, ligament injury with #, compound # with Debris- bits of stadium turf...
...had a patient with significant spiral # of 5th metatarsal resulting in shortened length & likelihood of major bone callus- if it healed, less than 50% congruence. 2 Dr’s said Moonboot, another- relocate and pin- option 3 was recommended!

Mount Jasper? Man, I remember the days when we hoped he would become our next Jason Peters, with Leif Larsen anchoring the D line.
Larsen would’ve been into his 10th year or something to see the field with Jasper! Way to go you crazy Norwegian Shot Putter.

I've had two friends in the past that let their adult children sleep with them. One was 185 lbs and the other had a 225 lbs.
My son is 3 and I let him sleep in my bed now but probably will make him stop when he starts elementary school.
My kids often start there when it’s bed time, group story then 1 by 1 relocation occurs. The youngest usually ends up in there most nights, he’s be 45lbs dripping wet...

Lots of guys come into the league with all the talent in the world. The difference is what happens between the ears. Foles has proven he can do it. I'm not sure Wentz has. I think this is a way bigger risk than people are acknowledging.
Plus, what are you really looking for when searching for a QB? You are looking for a guy that can you to and win a SB. Nick Foles has done that.
From memory, would the comparison be the 1990 Giants, to which the 1991 season had an open QB competition between Hoss & Simms.

I thought it might’ve been one of Reggie Wayne’s brothers. Alas, no.

I should have looked it on YouTube before posting but saw Duran Duran’s “Girls on film” as a young kid, I knew I liked what I saw, but probably not quite enough... naturally pre internet days...
Probably most film clips with David Coverdale- Whitesnake, also Ratt and probably Warrant... will go a looking...

When I was young & had my first dog that wasn’t the ‘family dog’ he slept on the bed- when he was a puppy he’d whimper until on the bed, I broke easy then. Had GF’s who loved him, others were m’eh. Those that loved him, let him sleep on bed. He’d sit in the front of the car & go everywhere with me. He’d crack it if someone sat in the front, sit and give them the ‘Paddington Stare’. Once, he just came through the gap between driver and passenger seat and sat on the GF’s lap. Was a great dog.
The other 2, no. They have beds & a command for going to bed.
Wife isn’t into dogs, though when pregnant, the girl dog would sleep next to her and follow her around constantly. Now the girl’s 16 1/2 & sleeps on a dog mattress or day bed, the younger dog has a bed, though often will be found in doorway of kids bedrooms, blocking door. Running joke with kids is he’s never asleep on the couch, if my wife catches him on couch he’ll often bury head under cushion, he’s occasionally on couch, I think he knows it pisses her off.

More chemicals. Docs are positive, maybe last cycle, surgery was positive. Doing well. I agree re: med. support.
Positives: my kids have said that with my hairstyle they can’t tell if I’m loosing hair. I’ve dropped some weight. Met some awesome people, learning a lot about motivation. Wished Lance Armstrong’s story didn’t end up where it did...
...I can’t control what will worry me, but I will control how I worry...
... found more enjoyment in the Bills being where they are, probably who they are, the process of player development than expectation to be met by wins alone... much more mellow.
I enjoy positive quotes. Enjoying reading. Not fussed about my work, workload.
i dig out the MacBeth “screw your courage to the sticking place and you will not fail!” quote at times as well as an old digger (Aussie WW1 soldier) saying, “sometimes you have to fix bayonet and close with your enemy”- as a means of sometimes you just have to do some hard fighting.
Thanks all.

Currently travelling well, though insomnia has kept me up tonite, find out test results tomorrow. Chemo not fun. Have been pretty positive, have had some slumps, lots of fatigue- way more than I ever thought. Any good news stories, some positives. Cheers.

Yeah, if the FDA shows up and says they're there to help you, just consider them the sibling of the IRS. Very helpful indeed.
What’s your name? “Ben. Ben Dover.”
@plenzmd1 has a free prize for the first person to get the reference!
I was rummaging through my memory and came to Clark Griswold and then on to Chevy Chase as Fletch?

There’s a local bloke who named his dog “10 Mile”. When his Doctor would nag him to exercise he said he walks 10 Miles every day.
