  1. XM and Sirrius are the two major Satellite radio services...I do not know if they are global , but are a growing force in the US...

    Many new cars have one of these services built in...

    A co-worker has XM and never listens to any other radio.

    Sirius carries the NFL games if I am not mistaken...

     

    How many more days intil the WC begins ????

  2. They are passing a dangerous dog law here, that basically will prevent people from owning certain breeds.  Problem isn't the dogs, it's the owners.

    Exactly right...IT IS THE OWNERS...

    Our neighbors have a pit bull and it is the gentlest, nicest dog in the neighborhood..< well next to mine that is >..

    The owners walk the dog and treat it great.....

  3. I recently read the Buffalo News stories about Niagara Falls HS and Sweet Home HS playing (and unfortnately losing ) in the NYState boys basketball state championships. BTW congrats to those kids...To make it to the state championships is a great accomplishment...

    But what struck me odd about the story was the reported attendance...

    NFHS game was reported at ~ 2000, while the SWHS game was reported at ~1500... The Glen Falls Arena seats approx 5500 and I am amazed these seats were not filled.....

     

    Why such low attendance ??

     

    The WVHS boys championships recently concluded and 66,000 tickets were sold...

    6 games Wed, 6 games Thurs, 6 on Friday and the 3 championships were Sat...

  4. I can remember when phone numbers included letters....

    i.e. Numbers in Lewiston were PL4-####....

     

    I love the commercial where the parents show their boys a typewriter and the kids ask , "Where's the SEND button...?"

     

    and now ATT and BellSouth are gonna merge in a $67Billion deal...

  5. It is good to hear nice things about the Nickent utility clubs...That might be my next acquisition.....

    Taylor made driver,,,,

    Taylor Fairway wood

    Ping Irons...Old

    25 year old Ram Zebra putter...I just can't let it go....

    Titleists....

    Buffalo Bills Umbrella.

     

     

    After reading the previous offerings I need to upgrade, but that'll wait until my TWO daus are outta college...

  6. Sick days...for the salaried workers (moi), there is no set number of days, ( and we would still get paid) ,,,BUT abusing the process would cause a problem...The union / hourly workers don't get paid for days called in sick....

    Any 3 straight days off requires a Doctors note before returning to work...

    No personal days, but the 5 weeks of vacation I get can be taken in weeks or days or even half days if needed...

     

    Like Rockpile, my company was recently sold and I lost a week of vacation and the old company is withholding the vacation pay for the salary group..So I am awating a 6 week vacation paycheck from the old company....bastids

  7. Rockpile

    "Hell, I still wear Bills stuff to work, but I am about the only one!"

     

    Hey Rock. I still wear Bills stuff to work ALL the time...even to WVU games !!!

     

    My memory of that SuperBowl was that Beebe's play cost me $200...

    At work we did a "grid" and I had Dallas 9,,Buff 7 at the end of the 4th QTR...

    Assuming Lett scores and the PAT is good, the score wudda been 59-17 and my

    9---7 would have won...But I am glad that Beebe made that play...epitomizes the true heart of those great Bills teams..
