  1. I don’t see this as a tag and trade. I don’t believe Wentz has won the team, and they are also safeguarding from poor play. Wentz may may have a better stat line, but the team played much better under Foles, believe that’s why they will keep him. Problem is, what does keeping Foles do to Wentz? Always looking over his shoulder.
  2. Not sure what the issue has been, but this past season the restrooms became a problem. I use the newer restroom by section 330 on the upper deck mezzanine, the one that is at the top of the ramp up. Lines were huge all season at obvious times to go, but also long during the “off” times. Cleanliness wasn’t much of an issue early on, became a problem mid season. Have not seen the sink used as a urinal for years since they’ve upgraded them. Wonder if that’s the reason for longer lines! Back in the day it was common to see someone using the sink every time you used the restroom (NOT condoning the action).
  3. Pizza and wings. Super imaginative. Although, will be getting some crowlers of Thin Man Brewery’s Trial by Wombat....delicious.
  4. The Great Escape. All time favorite. Kelly’s Heroes. Great cast.
  5. Depends on the type of knee replacement, total versus partial. Also depends on your overall health. Getting both knees done at the same time has its advantages - single copay, one rehab period, less chance for post-op infection and one hospital visit. The disadvantage is you won't have a good leg to stand on after surgery.... Knee replacement surgery has changed greatly over the last 10 years. It used to be you'd get the replacement and spend 3 days in the hospital. Now, you may spend a single night in the hospital. They are even performing these surgeries in ambulatory surgery centers. Post-op pain and complications have lessened, as has rehab time. Again, it is about your overall health and your strength to be able to have the surgery and rehab both knees at once. Pain management is also a concern if having both done. One thing I have learned is each surgery is individual, you can't assume someone else's good/bad surgery will happen that way for you. I've taken care of people who had both knees done at different times and their experiences differed greatly from knee to knee. It's really up to you how well you do. If you're healthy and strong, you should do fine. It's about putting in the time before to build strength and after to rehab the best you can. Your MD should know whether or not you are a good candidate for both knees at once. If you're not, he/she won't do it.
  6. The rule that needs changing is what is reviewable. Too many times critical plays are missed that change the game, ie: massive PI by NRC. Probably one of the worst missed calls I've ever seen (even worse than "just give it to them"). OT is much fairer than it was before. Problem was not the coin toss, but the defense not making a stop.
  7. As much as I really don't want to, I will. I'm tired of seeing the patsies playing in the SB. Just want to enjoy the game without caring who wins. Just hate the fact that a few missed plays (Offside, phantom roughing the passer) helped them get back. I know good teams make good things happen, but how many good things can happen to one team? From the tuck rule to last night, tired of it. I predict a blow out by the patsies, so will watch until its unwatchable.
  8. Always and forever. If it happened every so often, then whatever. Happens every game for these mother f@&&#*s!
  9. Holding? Of course. Can be called every single play on offense and defense.
  10. These two are the absolute worst announcers. Aikmen is a tool.
  11. I agree Wentz is more apt to be traded then Foles leaving. Team believes in Nick, and are much better with him, they respond to him. Just look at last year, and this year since he’s back as starter. I get how can you get rid of a player that cost so much to acquire. Thing is, plenty of first rounders who cost the team extra never pan out. At least with Wentz, you can get something in return.
  12. Had an amazing time this past season. Love going to games. The atmosphere this year was fantastic, met a ton of cool people outside an inside the stadium. Only had a few issues this year. First, the season ticket holder in front of us had an attitude this year, irritating but no big deal. Second incident was a dude pretending to be hit by my car after the last game and not letting up, wasn’t funny. Otherwise, met a ton of great people, ate some great food and drank some awesome beers. As far as the game? Sit 300’s and feel we see the action just fine, and get to see plays develop. Sit where there is about 50/50 season tickets. Didn’t have an issue with the different fans each game, no fights/problems. Biggest issue? Missing things like injuries and expalanations about penalties, etc. Could just have a radio to fix that. Absolutley will I’ll keep my season. Kind of a grind with the December games past few years, but who cares.
  13. What time does Ponto Ron do his thing? Been to a ton of games, have never seen him. Have a chance today, hanging with friends in Hammers.
  14. N64 my wife got me. Was shopping for our sons first Christmas at Toys R Us.
  15. Plug in the cigarette lighter ice scraper from the wifey. One of those BS Christmas gifts JCPenneys stocks in the aisle around Xmas. Easier to just put the defrosters on for a few minutes. Thing was useless.
  16. Son works at a restaurant that uses these, got me hooked on the Anova. i use metal binder clips to secure the bags to the pot. I use a basic food saver vacuum sealer, usually gets all the air out so it works perfectly. A nice feature of the unit is if you have a wet product you are sealing (like a marinated meat), hit vacuum until you see liquid creep up the bag and then hit the seal button; helps keep from sucking liquid into the sealer. Problem is, will leave a little air in and cause floating. I just use a large metal spoon and place it over the bag in the bath, works perfectly to keep submerged. I’ve cooked sausage, beef roast, pork roast, steaks, chicken, burgers and chicken wings. All come out great. The beef roast comes about great at 131 to 134 for 24-30 hours. Garlic, fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs (careful not to overdue, really permeates the meat). I usually get a 5 pound piece, cut in half and pan sear prior to vacuum. Use fresh or freeze, comes out awesome. Pink throughout and super tender. Chicken does have a different texture, but remember as long as you use the proper temp, it’s pasteurized and isn’t raw. I guess I’m just too used to over cooked chicken. Comes out great. Use John Henry’s Tammy’s Herbsl Rub. https://www.johnhenrysfoodproducts.com/product/tammys-herbal-rub-12-oz/ Chickn wings are great in the SV. About 8 plain wings per bag. 140 for an hour. Bring them to games and grill them. Get them browned, then sauce and grill again. Once that sauce is carmalized, sauce and grill again. Amazing! Use a 1:1 rmix of Guys Asian barbecue and Wok sauce and Anchor Bar hot wing sauce, great flavor. Sounds weird, but is really good. Also do burgers for games. Cuts down on cooking time and come out juicy.
  17. RN here. Absolutely the full man makes people bonkers. Many elderly have what’s called “sundowners” - get more confused and tough to handle at night. But full moon crazy is in a category by itself. Definite incresae in patients punching, biting, fighting, wandering, yelling. Honestly, you can feel an overall increased tension sometimes, even with younger patients.
  18. We tried hard to move up for Big Ben, couldn’t make it happen. As far as misses? Every team has missed on great players, that’s how he draft works. My question is, what makes anyone think great players on other teams would still be great on the Bills? Where would Jerry Hughes be today without the trade to the Bills? Could have died on the vine with the Colts and out of the league forever. Scheme, coaches and rosters have a big part in a lot of players being great. Some just are the best, some need help getting there.
  19. Leased a Silverado at the beginning of the year. Great truck. Ride is amazing, fit and finish is great. Most of of my friends have/had F150’s over the years. Was my plan to get one also when I got back into pickups. Test drove the Chevy and fell in love. If you haven’t driven a Silverado lately, take a look. They’ve made major improvements over over the last few years.
  20. Lions fans cheering caught me off guard a few times on their good plays. Didn’t expect it to be that loud. Had a bunch of Lions fans in my section. A lot of good natured ribbing back and forth, even high fiving after the game. Most well mannered opposing fans I’ve seen. Worst has to be Steelers fans by far.
  21. Being a Registered Nurse, I’ve had this conversation with family members more often than I care to. I’d much rather be having a conversation about getting better and going home. Why do we discuss DNR with patients/family? No, it’s not financial. No, it’s not because we don’t want to break ribs while performing CPR. As a member of the team caring for your loved one, I am intimately involved with their diagnosis and long term prognosis. If the patients prognosis is fair, good or better, the patient will remain at the hospital until they are medically stable to move to the next level of care (rehab), or better enough to go home. I’ve never seen the patient or family members petitioned by staff to sign a DNR for financial reasons. If a patient is still sick and condition worsens and codes several times under our care, if not already, they’d be moved to an ICU environment until stable enough to move out to a medical/surgical floor. If the Doctors diagnosis/prognosis is very poor, then we as the health care team are charged with offering every option we can to the patient/family. There are several options, and they all are the patient, or their family to make the decision what course to follow. Continue the present course of care, either as a full code or DNR, with the goal of a full recovery. Pull back on some care. Offer for the patient to be comfort care meaning no invasive procedures will be done, blood work is stopped, regular medications continue along with continuing eating/drinking if the patient can. Comfort care is usually a part of end of life care, with either Palliative care or Hospice care involved. Why do health care providers discuss a DNR with patients/family? It’s depends on what has happened with the patient and what the long term prognosis is. As a care provider, the worst part of health care that I see are family members that can’t come to grips with what is happening, and cant make the decision to let their loved one pass on peacefully. It’s an extremely difficult decision that carries with it a sense of guilt, and we are very aware of that. We would never have the discussion with family unless the prognosis was extremely poor. Nothing worse than seeing a patient needlessly suffer, it’s heartbreaking. Please understand this. A DNR does not mean we stop care, or stop life saving medications. Everything that is being done, continues to be done until the patient has a medical event that requires CPR. DNR means several things. First off, in NYS we have the MOLST form - Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment. The MOLST form specifies what to do if the patient stops breathing or their heart stops. Either perform full CPR and intubate (breathing machine), CPR only and no breathing machine, breathing machine only if that’s what’s needed, or a DNR/DNI which is perform no life saving measures. The level of DNR is he patient/family members decision alone. The doctor provides the information to assist in making the decision, but can’t make the decision for the family. That being said, sometimes a patient will rebound beyond anyone’s expectations, as it sounds like what happened with the OP’s family member. But please be assured, any conversation to make a family member a DNR is done with the information the doctor has, the patients history and what the long term prognosis is. I’ve never seen the discussion happen for financial reasons. The patient has a Bill of Rights and we can’t force them to do anything they don’t want to, we can’t. Homestly, anything we say or do is in the best interest of the patient. That’s why we got in the health care field, to care for those who can’t care for themselves and the desire help others.
  22. My wife has two $50 Fire tablets that she plays her Facebook games on (Candy Crush and Bubble Witch). As long as the tablet you purchase has a Facebook app, most anything should work fine. My wife is the worst when it comes to electronics, hates her iPhone wishes it was still a flip phone. She loves her fire tablet for Facebook and surfing the little she does. Pros - price and price. Cons - not a user friendly OS, smaller (there are larger Fire tablets). It’s actually a great little product. It really comes down to what she will use it for. Facebook mostly? Other apps? Movies and Music? Again, for really lite use, a Fire tablet is fine. More apps, movies and music, I’d get an iPad. Yes, a little more expensive than android based tablets, but worth the money IMHO. I’m not an Apple fanboy, just like their IOS better than android and the quality of their products. My personal opinion.
  23. At the old Manikins nightclub on Niagara Falls Boulevard (old Three Coins). Billed it as a “private party” to allow them to show the game...
  24. RIP Isiah. Thos Bills teams don’t get enough credit. Fun group of guys.
