    I'm not sure why they'd mind ... it's not like they're paying for them.
  2. Squirrel
    Yeah, I have a huge bag put together to give my niece who wears the same size I do!
  3. Squirrel
    I thought you were going to the game today?
  4. Squirrel
    I don't wear heels anymore. Can't. Have some minor foot issues due to a lifetime of wearing heels. So sad, but whatever.
  5. Squirrel
    What, shop online for shoes? Sure.
  6. Squirrel
    Heh, have computer, will shop. But this is the closet in my guest room, which I use as a storage closet.

    I must be in the Twilight Zone because the announcers on the MLB network were talking about Ron Davis, and what a good pitcher he was. I just don't remember that.
  8. Squirrel
    I'm reorganizing closets. Now that the new carpet is in, I can put things back and hopefully pare down even more.

    And, further ... there are still open dates!!! We'd love it if you'd jump in for one of those. Take a look in the game thread volunteers thread and then PM Chief with the dates you want!
  10. Squirrel
    Thanks for the ad lib game thread. Just so you, and everyone else, knows ... it is truly appreciated, but give the one who volunteered a bit more time before assuming they are a 'no show' and jumping in. We all know how last-minute things can get in the way of getting something done, or they forgot it was a day game, but I'd wait until a 1/2 hr out before volunteering to help out. But, again, thanks!
  11. Squirrel
    Me too!

    So, watching a new series on HGTV. I still like the tiny house shows ... right, Vanimal? ... but this new series is kind of cool ... Container Homes ... about homes built out of huge shipping containers.

    I read the PST in the thread title as PTSD and thought, yeah, I can see that with following this team.
  14. Squirrel
    Then I think what you are seeking is a party yet-to-be named.
  15. Squirrel
    Wrong thread, Mike. And from me you get an eyeroll ... but friendly-like.
  16. Squirrel
    Well, no, but by third party I was thinking maybe the Green Party or Socialist Party could in Chicago.
  17. Squirrel
    Not so ... not in Chicago elections. It's possible, very possible, for 3rd party candidates to work their way in in smaller elections and build a following and branch from there. Congress has not one iota of incentive to change how it works until people force their hand ... and that won't happen on a national level until large inroads are already in place. In Chicago, it's not party sponsored. Anyone who wants to run, meets the qualifications, gets the signatures required, is on the ballot. However many people are on the ballot and they aren't designated by parties in the way it's done for all other elections, there are no primaries and the 'best' of each party runs in the final. It's an open field. If a candidate wins more than 50%, they are elected. If no one gets 50% of the vote, the top two vote-getters face off in a run-off election. While yes, in Chicago, the word 'Democrat' by your name holds a lot of sway, but a third party could really run an effective and successful campaign here.

    It's more than that ... I never hear much about or from third parties except during presidential elections. If a large enough group really feels they want better representation, they need to be active, really active, in ALL elections, from the smallest to the largest. I understand that presidential elections give third party participants a larger stage, but in-roads will only be made if they build from a smaller level up. Until our two-party system changes, and it won't until there is more reason for it to other than people expressing dissatisfaction, third parties will not have a chance on a national level. Identify good candidates, get them into a large city government situation, or a county, and work up to state levels. It won't happen starting at the top. I am ALWAYS looking for alternatives in Chicago elections, and there never seem to be good candidates, so Rahm gets elected, twice. And the way elections work in the city of Chicago, parties don't really matter; if a really good third party candidate would present themselves, it would be very interesting.

    ****. Damn it. Bad Twins, bad!
  20. Squirrel
    ****.
  21. Squirrel
    It's like that in Florida, too. You can't go out to dinner without a sweater or shawl or something. Just ... too cold.
  22. Squirrel
    There was probably a point in his career that he makes it into second. Some of us older folks aren't always good at acknowledging our aging ways.
  23. Squirrel
    When it hits the mid 80s or is extremely humid, I turn on the AC. Otherwise it's the open windows. I didn't have or used AC until I moved to Chicago 16 yrs ago. I don't like 'fake air' blowing on me.
  24. Squirrel
    I want to see Nunez open with a bunt.
  25. Squirrel
    Yes
