    That was THE BEST movie ever! Well, okay, maybe not ever, but I was sitting in the theatre and in the end when the little girl was finally sad and said, tearfully, 'I miss Minnesota.' I said to myself, 'Oh, honey, so do I!'

    What? Are you my brain reminding me to buy more storage?
  3. Squirrel
    If only your brain could send you reminders that your storage is running low and you need to buy some more.

    It was a TV show? I thought it was a computer game.

    Is there a specific point you are making here? Or perhaps you want to just ask Nick why the change?

    I went topless today. Yup. Had the top down on the Mini.

    It's very cathartic and a more appropriate means to express oneself. But posting in a discussion forum is just ... easier ... but then it also just clogs them up and drags them down.

    It means STICK TO THE TOPIC and don't use each and every thread to vomit up everything you think is wrong. Address the points of the thread. No one is arguing that there is much wrong here, but that isn't the point of this thread. Don't go off on tangents ... STICK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND. For everyone here ... I'm on a staycation. If I can catch up with my reading, I'm going to just start deleting posts without notification if you can't find a way to discuss topics without throwing in lazy, generalized analysis just because you are frustrated. We are ALL frustrated. Start a blog if you want to unleash, but if you are going to use each and every thread to unleash every tangent you can think of, your post will be removed.

    No arguments from me <hic>. Hey, why's the room tilting?
  10. Squirrel
    Seriously. Truth.

    I agree learning about some of those management skills is a very good idea. I disagree with your assessments that home ec and shop aren't things needing to be taught (and actually are no longer required in many schools today.) Recently I read an article about the uptic in anxiety and depression among young persons off to college and/or on their own for the first time, and their inability to function well with the lack of some basic life management skills. The article correlated some of this to the lack of courses such as shop and home ec no longer being required curriculum. While some kids do learn through trial and error or are taught these things at home by being assigned some basic chores, and do just fine, a lot of kids who never learn any of these things and are now thrust into do or die (okay, exaggerated a bit) situations have difficulties coping, not only with these types of things but with life in general. Maybe some kind of life management skills course should be required, one that teaches some basic things from laundry/clothing maintenance, to cooking, cleaning, basic home maintenance along with basic finance management. I was lucky in my upbringing. This kind of coursework was easily learned at home. My mom was a home ec teacher, my dad a contractor, and together ran a business.

    Some of the commercials they have are good for that. The one where a young woman goes to buy a pack and the clerk says she hasn't put enough on the counter to buy them, and the young woman proceeds to peel off some skin on her face to purchase them. It's really icky, even the sound of it. I have to mute it or change the channel whenever that one comes on.

    Cherry popsicles, yes! I would buy them more often if I could buy a box of just cherry, but you get grape and orange, too. Not as much a fan. And, well, I drive a mini.

    SSSSSNNNNNNNEEEEEEEPPPPPP! We've missed you

    A second 1-0 win in a row for the Miracle. Even though I'm in town, I wasn't able to go, but sounds like it was even a better game tonight than last night. Initially I had thought Romero was pitching last night and was sorry to miss him.
  16. Squirrel
    The soccer forum, formerly known as Northern Pitch has gone its separate way and is no longer a MinnCentric entity, I believe.

    And I can only imagine what tag line I would have had should they have given me the 'dictator status' of Katherine the Great! <snick>
  18. Squirrel
    Oh right ... Lol ... I had forgotten that. Our rank status were dictators, but I had my own, because, well, I had to have a female, so mine was Imelda Marcos and that was the tag.

    Yeah, I was a 'barely but sometimes' poster on the ESPN boards sometime after I moved to Chicago in 2000, and gladly made the jump to BYTO, but I was OLTF back in those days. You may have remembered the special 'For Better For Worse' thread Hawkiconk and I kept going. Heh. Good times.

    I remember reading in the Fort Myers News-Press about his trip to ST a couple years ago when still with the Jays. Even then I thought that he seemed very grounded and very ... unaffected, in a good way.
  21. Squirrel
    Well, unless it's being whipped into a meringue with sugar added, and it is topping a dessert, I want no part of it.
  22. Squirrel
    Okay, that was a real ISH moment ... an egg in a cocktail?
  23. Squirrel
    Wasn't BYTO earlier than that? I thought it launched in, what, 2002 or 2003? Meh, I'm old(er) now and don't remember things so well anymore.
  24. Squirrel
    Yeah, I know. Sadly will have to miss the big event but would have loved to get a Hillary bobblehead. I can't imagine they will have 1000 people show up given last night's attendance.
  25. Squirrel
    Come on guys ... back on topic and let's quit with the polarizing characterizations.
