cantankerous

/\that one really made me laugh, cause it's right on! Man that is funny.

I work for a modular manufacturing company building school portables and construction offices doing siding, setting windows, and trimming windows and corners...I was getting really frustrated with it because it was pretty much all new to me and I was thinking of looking for work elsewhere when my boss came up to me on friday and said "come with me it's time for your 2nd review" Well my first review my boss and supervisor basically crapped on me saying I needed to improve in all areas except attitude...so I was pretty bummed and starting to get down on myself. In fact they told me if I didn't improve they'd try to move me out the the siding department somewhere else. So this 2nd review I wasn't looking forward to in the least. But they told me i'd improved so much and they were so pleased I never complained and always gave 100% that I was getting a dollar an hour raise starting monday! I was shocked...and in one of the hardest weeks i've had in a long time, it was a really good feeling. I think i'll stick around and try to get better at it...thanks to any that read this and remember...stay positive. I was getting down on myself and I guess I shouldn't have but now i'm feeling better about it.

LOL, Willis Mcgahee is no Barry Sanders...that's for sure! But he would have been a top 5 pick and the Bills wouldn't have gotten him...He'd probably have 15 long TD runs by now, and won rookie of the year. I think it's a miracle he's rebounded like he has though, after all...that was one of the worst injuries i've ever seen.

LOL, yeah ok man. You got it.

man, you have it backwards...It was Losman who didn't do sh-- for Mcgahee. If we'd have had even the slightest passing attack, teams wouldn't have been stacking the box ready for Willis's every move. And you sound ignorant trying to compare stats on Losman VS McNair. P.S. - Losman should have had a lot more picks but he has no touch on the ball so it's kinda hard for linebackers to catch 100mph rockets that hit them in the chest. Last year Losman was a turnover waiting to happen, while McNair is a pro bowl caliber quarterback. But to say that Willis didn't help Losman is just plain stupid.

hahaha, that's pretty good.

I don't remember him at all...i'm guessing he never touched the field.

I agree. Aikman and Young had enough sense to leave when it was time...Fav-ra should do the same. And yes, I know TA and SY had multiple concussions. They still had enough sense to see when their play might hurt their teams instead of help. I don't see the Packers going anywhere this year or next. One thing I know though, they're going down week 9!

That's weird, I wonder why nfl.com still has him under "buffalo bills wr" Thanks Lurker.

I've never heard of him before...was he recently signed as a UDFA? http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/237137

LMAO!!! You are so right.

Great news! Be sure and let us know how it went.

Give me a break, that's a stupid remark about Nate needing a dose of "team player" He could have held out til just before the opener. I swear, we could have players like the Dolphins who are criminals and pieces of sh-- in the real world...then what would you say? I was just thinking the other day that i'm glad our players don't cause trouble or get arrested or fight police officers drunk in the street. The NFL is a business, teams aren't loyal to players...they can cut them anytime...i think it's you that needs a "little dose" of reality.

That was awesome seeing the Lakers get dominated. Barbosa drove the lane at will and nobody on the Lakers would step up. It was over pretty early.

Holy crap I remember that too! That was a really weird show...I can't remember the name of it though. haha, what made you think of that?

I can't wait to see him back on the field! Hopefully he's ready by opening day in New England.

Hey thanks for posting about that website, that's awesome. They sure have a lot of cool stuff.

Don't jump the gun on Peerless. You never know why he's not there. I hope it's a good reason though.

She's doing pretty well LA. She's in remission now but like most MS patients...some days are good and some are bad. She doesn't have it severe like Richard Pryor for instance, she has some balance and vision problems mainly. Since I was 15 I did all the driving for her because she often sees double and has blurred vision. But as long as she doesn't drive she seems to be ok. I can't remember what medication she takes but I know it costs almost a grand a month...(thank god for insurance) Thanks for asking LA...do you know someone who has MS?

I'll help, my mom has MS. There is nothing i'd love to see more than an end to that terrible illness. My mom was diagnosed in 1989. God Bless all of you fighting that disease, one day it will defeated. I'll shoot you some money right now Rockpile, so be on the lookout. I hope I sponsored the right person! It was only 10 bucks, I wish it was more...but i'm pretty broke.

Happy Birthday in advance in case i'm not online tomorrow...And I wouldn't call you old...thank God for everyday you are on this earth. And congratulations on your daughter getting ready to be outta there! That means you must have raised her right

Thank you all SO much for the kind words and advice. I never thought he would do something like this. I hadn't cried for what seems like years til yesterday when I found out. His mom called me and broke the news, and I just lost it. He was truly a great person. I will follow much of the advice given in all of your replies. He didn't believe in God, but I think he's in heaven with him anyway...I just don't believe good people go the other way, so when I drove to work this morning and saw the sky was a beautiful orange/pink and glowing so bright...I thought "I know you're up there Walt...in paradise finally....finally pain free and now you can finally rest." THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, you've all helped alot. I'd consider all of you my friends as well for this...you are good people. God Bless you all. - Landon

He was depressed all his life and finally ended it himself. I'm so sad, he was a great person and was always there for me...always had good things to say and always had good advice whenever I was in need of some, now he's gone forever. I'm all tore up...please say a prayer for my friend Walt....RIP. I'll miss him greatly.

What a whore.

The responses in this thread sound just like the clowns at bb.com's board. I'd take McNair over all 3 of our quarterbacks easily...The guy is tough as nails and keeps coming back for more. I can't believe the way some of you think. "oh he used to be good" give me a break, the guy STILL plays at a very high level. Now I don't think there's a snoballs chance in hell he comes here but wow that would be awesome if it did happen. I think once the season starts it will be obvious that JP still isn't ready...and I cringe thinking about what will happen then...Holcomb and mediocrity...here we come!
