    The Switch between College to NFL gameplay

    RB's - Runners have to be patient, yet decisive. Where some could bounce runs outside a lot in college, the NFL athletes will shut that down in a lot of instances. We saw it first hand with Spiller. Vision is imperative in the NFL game for a RB. 

     

    I went to a Syracuse University game a few years ago.  I don't remember who the visiting team was, but their main RB would get the hand off, and then just stand there, until a hole would open up, before he'd start running.  And it worked every time.  Try doing that in the NFL.

    Wifey's 3 younger sisters have a total of 8 divorces among them.

     

    My ex-wife had a friend that was on her third marriage.  She married husband #1 (H1), cheated (C1), divorced H1 so she could marry the C1/H2, then cheated on C1/H2, divorced C1/H2 so she could marry cheater #2 (C2/H3). And before my ex and I split, I think she was in the process of divorcing C2/H3. 

    Who on TBD has been married the longest ?

    As I’ve mentioned, we had our 40th anniversary last Sunday. It’s just so hard to believe it’s been that many years. 

     

    My wife and I have been together for 10.5 years, married for 7.5 of those.  We have mentioned it doesn't seem like it's been that long. My longest relationship before her was about 5 years. 

    Are retail and restaurant workers getting ruder?

    She had a safe delivered to the house and we had our construction guy come and make sure nobody is going to carry this thing off.  

     

    I knew a guy that when he had his house built, he had a safe installed in the basement, then put up cinder block walls around it, except for the door opening.  You were not taking it out unless you took down the walls.  I don't remember how wide it was, but it was as tall as a normal door opening.

    There’s “Not Wanted” posters of my wife in stores around us.
     

    Unbeknownst to me before we met, she’s the Matriarch of the Karens.

     

    I've often thought, if I were to run a store, and a customer did the "I'm never shopping here again" line, I'd get their picture and place it at the entrance under a "Customers self-banned from shopping here" banner.

    I'm not taking anything away from the crash yesterday, however, i was on a Delta flight years ago and it was probably the worst plane i've ever been on.........it felt like it was being held together with rad hose and duct tape.

     

    I've had decent luck with Delta, was yours one of the smaller regional jets like the one that crashed?  I did have a USAir flight years ago, remember them?  I think it was just about the same time American Airlines bought them.  It sounded like the roof was trying to come off during the whole flight.

    Those employees used to be staffed by department with specific product training.  Now, they are just thrown on the floor to cover anywhere, and they are just expected to make it through the day.  

     

    Way back in the olden times (early 1990's) I was working store setup at Builders Square (K-Marts version of Home Depot/Lowes) and was getting fully trained in the Paint Department.  When it came time for the stores grand opening, they moved me over to Electrical.  No idea why, I have absolutely no electrical experience. Thankfully shortly after I had a job offer from a place, I had applied to months earlier and took it.
