I remember watching it at home. Back when no matter how far down the team was, you knew they could come back. Far different than recent years, where when the team had the lead, you'd wonder how they were going to lose it.

I've dated a few black girls. One did tell me "black don't crack". She was older than me btw.

MMy wife was surprised that I like going to NYC in December to check out the sites, because I generally don’t like crowds. I told her my main reason is I can elbow and shoulder check people and no one seems to care.

Stick with current for now. But people can mention if previous SO's in the comments if they want.

Thanks, I changed the wording, I think this makes it easier to figure out.

In the What Is Your Age thread, it came up that some of us have significant age differences with our significant others. What's yours?

Whats the worst car problem you ever had
Just Jack replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Which vehicle? First car, bought in 1991, a 1980 Buick Century - rear frame rails rusted through, so the bumper was barely hanging on. I had only had the car about two months. My Dad offered to pay half the cost of getting them fixed since he was the one that looked it over before I bought it. 1986 Toyota MR2 Had an issue where sometimes after filling it up, it would not idle steady, it would rev up and down, even when holding my foot steady on the gas. Usually a bottle of engine cleaner in the tank would help. But the one time it did not I was in the middle of nowhere Ohio, on July 4th weekend. Called AAA, and of course it took them over an hour to get me on the side of the highway. They towed me to the nearest decent size town with a hotel and repair shop nearby. I saw a Toyota dealer there but decided to not spend dealer pricing and went with the independent shop instead. Mistake. The shop decided it was the fuel pump, but of course they don't have it, needs to be ordered, and that will take a few days. I end up taking a Greyhound home. I find a fuel pump locally to me for half the price they quoted me ($125 vs $250) and have it shipped overnight. A week later I take Greyhound back to pick up my car. Get not even half an hour away and it starts acting up again. Take it back to them, they look it over and decide it needs new plugs and rotor/cap. Pick it up next day and make it home. Fast forward about a month. I'm leaving work, and the cute girl wants a ride to her home. We don't even get out of the parking lot when the car starts acting up again. She gets someone else to take her home and I drive to my local Toyota dealer, because I'm fed up with independent shops. They look at it and determine all it needs is the throttle body to be clean. Another time I had gone to Sears I think to have the brakes done. Driving home and I don't remember what got my attention, but ended up pulling over in a rest area on the highway because something wasn't right. Look in the engine compartment and see metal shavings but nothing obvious. Call AAA, get towed to our family friend that is a mechanic to have him look at it. He comes by later that night and shows me what he found, the idler pully had disintegrated. It also ground down the shaft, so a engine replacement had to be done. Work vans Brake line blew out while exiting the highway in NJ. Taking a 20mph curve in a multi ton full size cargo van doing 50mph is scary. Multiple fuel pumps fail, one time was in a heavy rain storm during rush hour outside of Boston. I can't see if there's a vehicle next to me, so I turn on my blinker to pull over and just pray people get out of my way. I know there are others, I just can't remember them right now. -
This is how my weekend started
Just Jack replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
One of my friends in High School, he was the youngest of 4 in his family. Both his parents had already retired by time we were seniors. -
I remember watching one episode, the guests were Steve Christie and John Butler. Paul mentions that Steve's contract was up at the end of the season, and had some other comment about it. Steve laughs and throws his arm around John Butler, who had a total look of shock on his face, like he did not know that Steve's contract was up.

We've been going to Movie Tavern lately. Prices are similar to Regal but you can't beat the drinks and food being brought to your seat. And the 42oz draft that comes in a mug you can keep and bring back for refills. https://www.movietavern.com/

Same, 8 year difference. Which doesn't seem like much except when you talk about historical events and I mention I was in 10th grade and she was in 2nd.

A Question About Friends Screening Calls
Just Jack replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Maybe they were somewhere that they couldn’t pick up the call, like in a public bathroom. -
Did the Russians change my vote?
Just Jack replied to mead107's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Seeing as HC won NY, it didn't matter Mead They're there, I saw the documentary -
Agreed. Based on the photos, the only thing I'd leave alone for a while would be the kitchen. The pink bedroom? First to go.

Training Camp 2018 Dates
Just Jack replied to BuffalothruMyVeins's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Theyve cut a lot of days in the last 10 years or so. Used to be you never had to worry about why Day to go because there were plenty to choose from. But now you may have to schedule time off from work if you want to make it. -
Computer disaster - anyone have any ideas?
Just Jack replied to bbb's topic in Off the Wall Archives
A company I used to work at, we had sold a new server and backup tape system to a small business. The server failed and when they went to restore the data from the tapes, discovered my coworker that did the install never setup the auto backup to run. So guess who got to sit in that office for two days and reinput their sales from the past year? -
Does good customer service still exist?
Just Jack replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I was at a sit down restaurant a few years ago. Overheard another customer complaining about her food to the manager. Manager says something about taking care of it. After she walks away, I overhear the customer tell her son "If you complain, you get stuff for free". I did inform the manager of what I heard, but I think at that point she didn't care. -

Did you hire Rosen as your IT guy? He's really good at keeping systems up and running from what I've heard. -

It looks like Ice Road Truckers is gone. It’s usually started by now. -
"What we're most excited about is future play dates and getting pictures of all the bumps was fun," nurse Bethany Stringer says. "But getting pictures of all the babies is going to be way more fun." whats not gonna be fun is their boss trying to schedule people to work when they’re all out on maternity leave.

We’ll need @Boyst62 input on this, if it's consent when farm animals wink at you.

I had that happen on Air Canada. Myself and two others were sitting in our row when the meal cart came through. We all wanted something but the FA totally skipped asking us if we wanted something. Which was ridiculous because she was stopping at each row and asking the people if they wanted to buy a meal.
