To an online chess match broadcasted live in the Cafe. Afterwards, we both will play a piano recital piece where the forum members with the top ten IDs will vote for the winner. When I win, Mick will no longer be permitted to discuss Raven football in the Cafe. Cheese

I thought I heard something screaming, it must have been the pennies you were pinching. Congratulations, enjoy your next overseas vacation.

He's home! He's got a lot of meds, and is super unsteady on his feet, but he's doing good.

I just got home. This means that I have missed dog school with sweet Lindy. Einstein had to take him for me. My day was craptastic. I thought of relaxing with some bourbon and apple cider. That seemed like a terrible thought and a slippery pathway. So, I had iced tea instead. Drinking wont solve my problem.

I order all the time and cannot fathom what Mick is encountering I click "buy now" and the stuff arrives tomorrow or even later today.

Getting dressed up is wearing a T-shirt without a saying on it.

Paulie is sweet. He is also scary smart. you cannot multi-task with one task being watch him. He must be your focus. He has learned to sit if I have cheese but he checks for the cheese before sitting.

those w/ small avatars

Mine sure has its days....and I am beginning to long for retirement... Anyone know a man who would be willing to keep me in the manner I could become accustom to? He doesn't have to live with me...just "Keep" me

You probably remember, but I had a job that I hated and co-workers that were terrible. When it was time to go, it was time to go. My family noted the difference in my attitude after switching jobs. I am so much happier than I was five years ago.

Norris rocks.mp4 Just before Christmas. They can be fun but a bit annoying at times

A tip on how to handle the situation: When you start driving that new Ferrari to work, don't park right up front where everyone can see you parking it.

You should feel grateful I am back.

Like any good reporter..., he makes them up.

It may be time to retire. Get 8 or 9 more dogs and take up mushing. The dogs may be much more affectionate than anyone you work with now. You may also go through your life savings and be homeless in one or two seasons.

But our tour guide was somewhat “ugly”.

only tolerates me because I love cats. I call this the Kirby factor. Kirby only puts up with me because I love meows. This also applies to dogs. Aire, Couch, and Ralph only somewhat like me because I love dogs. No one loves me because I have 418 squirrels. It is difficult trying to be all things to all people. No clue why RR loves me but still hurts he loves his previous James more.

How long are you discharged for this time?

I am ready.

Race to the Top and the Ever Child Shall Suceed Act make me long for the good old days of No Child LEft BEhind.

After 2 full weeks in the hospital... Bruschi is scheduled to go home with us tonight at 6pm! He's on all oral meds, has all his drains, stitches, and staples out, and is eating and drinking well. We'll have to continue his physical therapy at home, but he is getting stronger everyday, and hopefully can do even better at home.

I give this a $9.97

Kids, remember this is cyclical..

Amazon is a doddle. Pick the item, pick one time purchase if it's an option, check out. If you don't have Prime, make sure the total is $25 so you can get free shipping. I could do it in my sleep, which worries me. It's way too easy. And you're vitamins are 3rd rate.

I smacked right into that reality this morning. I've been playing with the idea for about a year. Feeling stressed, changing procedures, soldiering through. Today, I firmly realize that I cannot do this much longer. That makes me sad. Plus Einstein just lost his job in the closing of the engineering center.

I remember when I used to be able to hop right up on picnic tables with no big deal. Not sure what happened, but last time I tried to bunny hop over something, it was blade of grass and I didn't make it.

Wash in the machine, dry in the dryer, and wear. Normally wear denim shirts and buy a few nicer ones from LL Bean during their after Christmas sale. Only pants that I own that fit are jeans, so that is the way I 'roll'. Life is 'Good'!!

You ever read any of the Lee Child / Jack Reacher books? He just wears stuff until it is too dirty and throws it away and buys more.

Yes, I am married and she does laundry. And we own an iron, I used it to smooth out some linoleum once, think that's the only time it's ever been used.

Naw. I just toss them in the laundry with the rest of the clothes and tea dirty towels.

I burned oot years ago but I keep plugging away. I feel like a marathoner struggling to get to the finish line. My nipples are bleeding but at least I haven't yet pooped myself.

I love that by comparison to AWWC I appear normal.

which one was that...Banff or? I've been to major ones.... Banff (of course many, many times), Yoho, Revelstoke, Glacier National (in British Columbia), Gulf Islands National, Prince Edward Island National, Jasper, Elk Island, Kootenay, Waterton, Bruce Penisula, Thousand Islands, Fundy Bay National. I have not gone to national parks in the Arctic or near the circle. I haven't been Haida Gawai nor Gros Morne yet and actually never went into Georgian Bay National..... just on the edges of Lake Huron very close. In the US...only Glacier National in Montana. https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/recherche-parcs-parks-search For Caanadian national parks. Banff National Park below near Lake Louise Only 180 km. from home. I have biked twice in summer from town of Banff...it is 130 km. one way to home.

“Little” bike ride?

I like that you like dogs and squirrels and all our animal friends. I once came home to see my parents feeding a skunk on the back porch, so I come by it honestly.

Sylvan Lake and some traffic in Custer

My number 24. The number should be worth more than one of the top 10, because of the incredible low number of posts. Kind of like a seldom used vintage bike. I’m not trading. I’ll be holding the number for another 6 years. Then, maybe I’ll trade for a new car.

The pizza was pretty good. I found a salad recipe that was one of the best salads I've ever had, link below. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I'm not far from 70, and just now discovering real feta. It's is really good. https://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/tomato-salad-with-parsley--feta-and-pistachios.html

Ugly Bob is 69.

I had a great time. I hope you guys can come out for a longer stay some time and I'll show you more of the state. I haven't pulled everything off the camera yet, but here's a couple I took.

Sorry, I can't take a chance on not talking Ravens - at least until after February. Of course, a bad day and I'll stop after Saturday.

Ouch. My brain just exploded.

Thank you bikeman. You Sir are an honorable man.

I only seem to remember dreams when I sleep late on the weekends. And my dreams get weirder if I have Italian food for dinner.

By this logic, RR should have a 300 x 300. This will be the ruination of our polite society.

Fabulous news! I am giving Ryan and Paulie a treat in celebration.

Everyone suffers job burnout eventually. It can be remarkably refreshing to make even a small change.
