    But the heated seat technology is already part of the budgeted stadium design costs. Are you saying the Bills might try to have the project come in under the $1.4b budget by altering the already accepted design for heated seats or other already budgeted amenity infrastructure? If so, is it a given that the team would realize that savings or would it go to the state or county? You raise a very interesting point and I’d be interested in looking deeper into it. 

     

    Are you going to have the opportunity to go to the experience in Williamsville? If so, please ask these questions because they’re worth asking. 
     

     

     

    I wonder what technology they will go with, the current heat lamp style or try the heated individual seats again.

    Before I do…..Have you ever been to a timeshare presentation? If you haven’t, I’m not sure what experience you bring here. 

    A clarification: what you really want to know is what it costs, not what you can afford. Asking what you can afford is one of the classic hallmarks of both new car sales and timeshare ‘presentations’. 

     

    Our honeymoon was at a timeshare property, my brother-in-law gave us as his wedding gift.  We were "given" a free photo shoot while we were there.  In order to collect, we had to meet up with one of their salespeople.  One of his first questions was if we made $85K or more.  My immediate answer was no, that us being there was a gift, not what we could afford. That pretty much stopped his whole presentation right there.  Total time was less than 10 minutes.

  3. Most prized item?  My 1993 AFC Championship pendant.  Bought from someone that used to work in the front office for the Bills.  The story I was told was that Mr Wilson gave the employees a choice between getting a ring like the players or a pendant.  This person choose a pendant.  The face looks just like the rings, it just doesn't have the sides.  

     

    This is what the face of it looks like.

    Probably Boones Farm and Velveeta. 😂

     

    That was my exact thought.

    I'm in 226.  It's considered club level, but the suites end at 228...no radiant heat for me lol

     

    I'm confused.  226 is corner endzone, there are no suites, just the Press Box and indoor club above that.  Are your seats outside?

     It all depends on when they're running the itinerary we want with the land extension up to Denali/Fairbanks.  Gotta see them Northern Lights!

     

    I've been looking to go on an Alaska cruise for a while.  One thing several people have said is if you're doing the cruise with land tour, do the land tour part first, so you can relax on the ship the second half.

    The proposed new baseball stadium in Las Vegas, a dome, in the very heart of the Las Vegas strip, is budgeted for $300MM less than the Bills be stadium. I still can't wrap my brain around that.

    Business in general is cold man. I left my old company in June last year and then found out like a week ago they fired every remote employee (which I was) the week of Thanksgiving last year. My old boss called me to tell me I got out at the exact right time 

     

    About 6 years ago I was working as a field tech for a national service company.   Paychecks and expenses were starting to come late, like hours or a day or two from the norm.  I looked at a former company I had worked for and they happened to be hiring, so I emailed the owner asking if they wanted me back.  He said yes.  Put in my two weeks notice.  On my last day I started reaching out to the company I had been with about meeting up with someone to return some equipment and tools I had.  No answer.  Next week, still trying to get someone, no replies.  About two weeks later I heard they shut the doors and everyone was let go.  I was one of the lucky ones, I was only out about $1700 in expenses that were not paid back.  Others who stayed were out about a months worth of pay plus expenses.  But hey, I ended up with a nice hammer drill, an 8" tablet, and some other odds and ends.

    Right, which is why I assumed that all NFL teams owned their own planes, and had the interiors configured to have many giant seats. Like, 60 or more. I guess not though? But bottom line is that we rank 32nd out of 32. I’m not cool with that. 

     

    I thought the Bills just get charters from Delta, using whatever was available.  Not a specifically modified plane.

    You never watched the show? You are lucky because doing so will provide you with hours of enjoyment, or so I think.

     

    Btw, I never watched Star Wars. :) 

     

    I've got a lot of other shows I watch, according to my TV tracker app, I'm over 300 episodes behind all the shows I watch.

    With the right amount of cash and a sprinkle of luck, you'll now be able to sit like Tony Soprano without heading over to Bloomfield, New Jersey. Basically, you'll be able to sit like Tony in your own house—or office, or wherever else you'd decide to place the famous booth that is now at Holsten's in Bloomfield, where the last scene of the iconic hit show The Sopranos was filmed.

    I've had many breeds in my 45 years, and pit/mutt mixes from the pound are the most loving, affectionate and loyal dogs I've ever had

    We rescued a pit/Boston terrier mix. He's just a big baby and the biggest sweetheart you'll ever encounter.  Horrible owners are the problem. 

     

    My ex wife for some reason got in in her head that I needed a dog, ignoring the fact I was typically on the road M-F and she would be the one to take care of it.  We ended up with a pit mix (I forgot the official breed name they said it was) from the local Humane Society.  First time we took it to my parents house, my nephews were there visiting, I believe both were less than 10 years old.  The older of the two runs right up to the dog, grabs both sides of it's face, and I'll tell you, I had a moment of panic because this was the first child that I knew was interacting with the dog.  Thankfully it did not do anything but start licking my nephews face.  We ended up taking the dog back within a few weeks, because like I said, with me on the road, and my ex's medical issues, she realized she could not take care of it properly.  We did recommend to the shelter they look for a family with kids that can play with it for the next owner.  Later that year, the shelter send out a "year end" newsletter.  In that newsletter was a picture of the dog we had with their new family, so I'm glad it did get adopted.
