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...

I'll be right there with ya Pete...The Women's Worl Cup matches I have attended were great, I can imagine how the men's matches would be..

R I P Darren McGavin..... A Christmas Story is a classic... "It's a major award...Imported from Italy...from 'Fragile'

R I P Don Knotts... Besides Barney, my favorite Don Knotts role was his appearance in "No Time For Sargents"..... ...and like someone else said, his role in Pleasantville was good, too....

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...

Group tickets can be fun... We would print a giant grid of the numbers we had,, then laugh and / or cry when only 2 out of the whole batch were chosen...This was years ago when we had several peeps to pitch in...Now there are not that many co-workers as the ranks have been thinned....

LAst night .....Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper

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

275 ??? IS that the limit for Jerome Bettis ..???

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..

Blood donations >>> Yup...The next donation I'll hit the 13 gallon mark... I am lucky in that I have great veins and the Red Cross calls a lot since I have O neg...... In Ohio, the local paper would put your picture in the paper with a quote why you donated...Everyone said "I donate to help people" and crap like that....When it was my turn, I told the reporter "I donated 'cause I liked NEEDLES"....Needless to say 'they' kicked that one ...

The "next" LeBron James is a kid named O J Mayo who plays at North College Hill HS near Cincy....I saw him play Sat. night and WOW... He and Bill Walker are both Juniors...

I, too, have Charter...When I called, it was explained that the NFL Network desired to be placed in a lower channel number, not in the 300's like it was here..I wudda paid extra to have NFLN in the lower numbers instead of some sterling channel like LifeTime or the equally hideous ShopNBC or any of the other useless shopping channels..

My dog is a blend of golden lab and a cocker spaniel....11 years on in two weeks

I take my dog on rides around town, too...Window down, nose and head sticking out the window enjoying the wind......( the dog, not me .....LOL ) At the bank drive in window, the ladies will make a big fuss and the dog will get a treat as I collect my meager deposit slip....

I agree with ya 100%.... Those three shows are great IMHO...

My memory of that day was Las Vegas. We were in LV that weekend and watched the game at the Caesar's Palace Sport book...There were many seats taken by wearers of silver and black..I got there just at kickoff and met some nice Bills fans from Rochester...At half time there were a LOT of empty seats and we celebrated with many beverages... Mrs Lew won a nice jackpot at the dollar slots too YAY !

I'd chose Randy Smith... Hoops and soccer...

As soon as CBS posted the grpahic that the Colts kicker had not missed a kick all season in RCA dome...HE was DOOOOOOOOOOMED.

A friend of mine played for a high school football team called "the Dots" and then played for the U of Hawaii and was a "Rainbow". Did your friend play at Poca HS in WV,,,,,??? North of Charleston there is a town called POCA and the HS nick name is "Dots" I am partial to the Lansing Lug Nutz too...One of the best small baseball parks I have ever been to

Sure is a lot of loot for that loogie

Marcus Vick....I can see him in Silver AND Black with Randy Moss as his buddy...

Peter Gabriel....Secret World..... I think this was from 1993 or 1994,,,but still is good, IMHO

The fake punt call showed the chutzpah Coach Rich has,,,I loved it..... re: Couches..I too have Sat on a couch in Morgantown that later became part of the atmosphere.....There is a candle guy who is selling 'couch candles' that are to be burned instead of the couches... $20,,,but it is a BIG candle and I will try to find the link.... on a side note..please pray hard for the 13 miners who are trapped in the collapsed mine in Upshur...

Flutie's drop kick was pretty good...But I am more amazed that the film from the LAST drop kick in 1941 was found... Then in the press conference Bellichek (SP?) gave kudos the Chris Berman for mentioning Flutie's drop kicks in the CFL.... I remember fooling around in HS football practice with drop kicking...We used to have contests between the old fashioned straight on kickers and the new soccer style kicking.... Geesh that was a LONG time ago, since the soccer style kicking was just starting..... Damn I am old.....
