It actually does not do that....

Actually working today.....not that this post is evidence of that....

I HATE animal hair in my food. HATE it.

Except he has that money....and I'd want to golf in my 50s.......I agree on guys that don't have that money (sort of), but I think, like most of us, they don't think about the long term consequences and impact on their happiness/health enough.

I think there are no current twins rumors. Let me check.....Nope. can't find anything.

Dave Cameron of FG just put his up.....he thanked Dozier for getting hot so it didn't have to be Nunez....I know some don't like the mild snark on that site, but it cracks me up.

I hope it's clear that I like May as a starter, and my endorsement of him as such is a positive message. I am not at all discussing what the FO would or would not do......we have plenty of those threads out here.

I was just having this discussion......everyone in Portland seems to have dogs in their breweries (so far I've found 1 that doesn't) and other places where I buy food.....not a fan of dog hair in my food and beverages. I am somewhat allergic, not bad, but somewhat.

I have an irrational love of Toto*......completely irrational given my musical tastes. *well, their one "good" album anyway

I really want that role.....

yes sir

Ha, if anyone wants....I am mike sixel on FB.....not the MMA fighter version.....

I've even stopped following some I agree with....they are so over the top.

Dang, that's not good. They've never ranked them that badly before on the FO.

Agree with this. And, I'll add, I am always amazed when a guy this age comes back from this kind of thing. Hoping he turns out to be able to use his arm fully in the many coming years....

I note we are not friends on SM...... My wife loves popsicles. Loves them. I have thought about having a food truck/cart that sold high end popsicles, some of which would be alcoholic.....but I don't think I want to work every weekend....

In fairness, I see both.... I have one friend in particular who posts nearly every time a shooting happens in a gun control area saying "see, criminals will get guns". Every. Single. Time. Ignoring the fact that it happens very rarely in many of these countries, which is why every shooting in England is a story, as opposed to it being illegal to even track them in the US..... I am inclined to be good with TRAINED security....not so much random citizens that think they know how to diffuse a situation. (another meme I see, that Democrats want security, but not random dudes, to have guns). And, humorously.....there is no active shooter. It was a drill......

But I'm told shootings won't happen if we are all armed, or something like that.....I have friends that post FB memes every time there is a shooting in an area with gun control, I doubt I'll see any posts from them today about this....

Good news.... No one will ask me to write the gameplay thread again...... Clearly I am bad luck, I am sure they would have otherwise won.

I predict a comeback win. Though Shields is well rested.....

Cleary waiting to the second to brag what a good luck charm I am was a bad idea....

Saw a meme online today listing all the great bands that formed last time England was in turmoil....the Clash and XTC among them...so not all is lost over there

heh, totally different discussion.....but I can't argue with any of this.

There are threads all over the board on who should stay or who should go for the Twins. Kind of like Brexit….so I thought, hey, I just moved, let’s talk about moving, shall we?* 1. Moving is stressful. We packed up from a house we owned for 22 years, to move to an apartment….there was a lot of stuff I had no idea we owned. The coolest find was old videos from when the kids were very young, which digitized and have mostly watched….want to judge yourself as an early parent, watch how you talked to your kids. Oh, as for the move, we sold or donated so much stuff it was unreal. Really, unburden yourself, and clean out 1 closet a month….trust me. 2. In golf moving day is (according to Wikipedia): The penultimate day of a four-day tournament, so called because it is the day where competitors try to set themselves up for the final push on the final day. A pessimist would say that’s because some of the competitors missed the cut, and are moving back home. The optimist would say it’s because it is the day the real competitors move to the fore (see what I did there) leaving the others behind. Some of you might not know what golf is, I feel bad for you. 3. Moving to a new state is fun, if you like new things. Oregon has turned out to be especially fun. There are wineries (real ones, not like MN ones), breweries (some, admittedly are better than others, but when there are something like 75-100 near you, well, that’s a lot), mountains to hike on, and the people are super nice…….I am really impressed with how nice the people are. Not so much the apartment complex, but co-workers, random people in bars and wineries, contacts my wife is building with her new company, everyone seems really nice. People talk to you, and seem genuinely interested in welcoming you and helping you find new places to go and things to do. Just today I was in line at PotBelly (really need to start packing my lunch), and I took a practice golf swing (sometimes I do that, not as often as I use … or parentheticals, but often), and the guy behind me asked if I just hit it 250 in the fairway. We got talking, he works in my building. I got his card. He owns a small business. He has suggestions for lunch and golf. Lots of options opened up, just because he was nice. 4. Moving to a new job is hard. I didn’t do that, but my wife bought a company. Starting a small company from scratch is hard. Doing it in a community where you just moved, and only know 1 other person? Super hard. But, I think many of the younger among us are right, moving jobs more often than our parents did is probably a good idea. My wife has to basically spend all her time meeting new people to help her get leads. That has already led to us being invited to two parties, and several other activities. She’ll be the main conduit to new friends. 5. Moving onto the twins, and who should move on….no, wait, I don’t like serious game threads. Btw, with the timezone change, did I get this up before the game was over? Having sports end so early is weird (and having primetime tv end so late sucks).

Well, I tweeted David Cameron (no, the other one, the one that still has a job), we'll see what he says, if anything useful....
