    If you get sick will testing impact your behavior or treatment?


    I get extra PTO from work if I test positive.  Plus being able to get Paxlovid.  Definitely worth getting the script compared to the first time I had it.

    The Chargers are opening a brand-new training facility in El Segundo next May as they are trying to improve their image:

     

    I've got to wonder if that facility will be closed at times to the general public when they are training before games, so no one will see some of the plays they are trying out.

    It's all pretty inconsequential as far as I'm concerned. Cheers to anyone who can name the last three winners without looking it up. I just want the Bills to win football games!

     

    I looked it up, here's the list if anyone wants to check it out.  The Bills have only had one two players make the list since 1972.

    Money grab of course.  Hold consumers hostage to line their pockets.
     

    OTA antennas are easy to use and work very well. Myself?  Got rid of DTV a few months back for YouTube TV and have not regretted it.


    We went OTA and streaming services several months ago.  I’m amazed that in addition to the Syracuse stations, I can pick up a couple from Utica and Watertown.

    Hopefully she was having them pay for the gas as well.   Given inflation not having them pay for the gas, and only charging $100 for the actual acts is terrible business sense.

     

    Can only hope she takes some business management classes in the clink and puts herself in a better position for success on the next go around.

     

    According to Google Maps, it's about 40 miles between both cities.  So assuming she gets at least 20mpg, that would be about 4 gallons.  Gas Buddy is showing a gallon in the Stow area is under $3/gallon.  So she would only need about $12 out of that $100 for her travel.

    As a programmer/ business analyst at Carrier, our IT department spent the year before going through thousands of programs throughout the company, changing and testing any date references to ensure they were 4 digit years.

     

    Were you at the Thompson Road location?  That's where I was, a contractor for IT with Inacom, doing hardware support.  I think my desk was in Bld 18A, but I did support all over campus.  

  7. I was in IT at the time (hardware support) and had one guy ask me what I thought.  Told him there shouldn't be any issues, but if he was worried, there were some things he could do.  When you see a good sale on canned goods, like 10 for $10, and you would normally buy 10, buy 20.  Get print outs of all your financials showing what you have a day or two before then end of the year.  Take out a couple hundred dollars to have on hand.  Nothing drastic, like you'd see some people doing, but just being cautious.

    A few years ago my sister and her family said NO GIFTS, all year. No birthdays, Christmas, Anniversary gifts, etc. They took the money they saved and put it towards a Christmas trip to Paris. It didn’t cover everything, but put a pretty good dent into the expense. I thought that was a great idea! 


    With my siblings, about 20-30 years ago I told them I wasn’t buying them birthday presents anymore and did not want any for myself from them, mainly because two of them had birthdays in March and the other two in May, and I was a poor, just out of college, worker.  Getting hit with four birthdays in two months was just too much.  

  9. With my immediately family, I stick to a budget for each of them.  For the wife, she gets whatever I see that I know she will like.  I probably spend as much on her as I do my family combined.  

     

    I once dated a girl years ago that came from a poor family.  It was interesting the one Christmas I spent with them, seeing the gifts they would give each other.  I had bought her a new radio for her car, it currently only had AM/FM.  The one I got her was on the low end, can't remember if it had a cassette or CD built in, I only paid around $60 for it, and it was the most expensive gift that anyone got there that year.

    It has come to my attention that Lomas Brown was a Bills coaching intern (unlisted) that year under Mouse McNally. Brown played for McNally for two years with the Giants in the late 1990s near the end of his career, and was under his supervision as intern. He played o-line for 18 years, so that solves the riddle! https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowLo00.htm (also, @Just Jack). 

     

    I don't know why you're calling me out.  I'm not claiming to know which coach it was.  I just found a list of the coaches the Bills listed on their website that year.
