Tomorrow. I was able to find someone to start the process of sorting through all this tomorrow. Beat the other places I called who were all "six weeks before an appt". Even if this guy sucks, at least I am not doing nothing while waiting. Thanks for the words, all. Can I make the suggestion that yo...

His length is simply staggering. On Giannis's blocks last night, Ish Smith did what a smaller player is supposed to do - drive to be under the basket to use the rim to shield off the defender and looped his shooting arm to the outside for even more room to get his shot off - and it was all for naugh...

Sets up Yzerman to become an even greater Red Wings legend and Holland to become even more reviled by the fan base. The young stars are really developing and Yzerman's return comes when the team is expected to start climbing back toward relevance (the defense is a dumpster fire and goalie plan befor...

TB, please get some help. Whatever you feel/need will help.

You do not have to shoulder the burden on your own.

This is sooooooo embarrassing ... https://twitter.com/tblightning/status/1118332281825968128?s=21 Might have been the last straw for Yzerman? It had been rumored he was leaving for a couple months, so I don't think it's related to this: https://twitter.com/GMillerTSN/status/1119182088761221120?ref_...

I understand the why, but it is just staggering to my brain how few dishes get used when my wife and kids are not home for a few days. Ran/emptied the dishwasher after they left Sunday morning and in over 48 hours, it's gotten about 14% full. It's also weird how many strange noises I hear in our em...

So, I'm the asshole that started reading this thread, getting excited for a meet-up, and realizing it was started in 2016. How did I completely miss this thread when it came out?? I don't know that you missed it as I don't think it came together. Did meet bfj for lunch. You did well - Bfj is the be...

Towns was born in, as they say in the DR, Edison, Nuevo Jersey Embiid is from Cameroon. As is Pascal Siakam. Correct answer. But I had missed that one originally anyway, and I just found yet another. So there's still two more. One is stupidly Switzerland, home of Clint Capela and birthplace of Niko...

An article on ESPN.com a couple days ago mentioned that during the season, the Jazz had guarded Harden with his primary defender overplaying his left side, more or less aligning himself on his hip and keeping him going to the right. They did it again last night and early in the game, Harden pushed o...

I just listened to the Dollop episode about Tommy Cooper, a British comedian who died on live television (almost 35 years ago to the day). He had some physical pratfalls as part of his act, so everyone thought he was just doing a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpZq3ul1ld4 And, yes, when the cu...

I know this is morbid, but if that were my only kid, I don't see how I don't end it.

How about if it's not your only kid? How do you deal with it with the surviving kid(s)? That's one thing I thought about since our kids are 8 and 4. Younger one is old enough to certainly remember it.

Am I just getting caught up in the nostalgia, or do the Wade and Dirk send-offs reflect how much more well-liked those two are, both by their peer groups and fans in general, than LeBron is? They both stayed with one team for their entire career, so even if there was behind-the-scenes moves about o...

How long until the pressure gets to Cronin and he punches someone? The interesting part is I doubt Xavier will be on the schedule the next few years, so it might take longer than normally expected. And it seems to me that Cronin just jumped because he wanted the money (was making $2.2 million a yea...

How many of you who tip your housekeeper actually look closely to see how clean the hotel room is when you start? I mean, just take a quick peek under the bed or behind the nightstand. Maybe put a scrap of paper or something else small on the carpet in the morning before you leave and see if it is s...

Six years, $24 million. I doubt Cronin makes it through four.

So how does this work for $300K ticket guy? Is he looking for a book that'll work on his ticket credit to lock in ~$150K guaranteed? From what I read, he has made enough other bets on Virginia that, no matter how the game unfolds tonight, he will win money (the $300K ticket only cost him $1,500). H...

Founders KBS turned up at my local Costco. Just 5 years ago, I went out hunting for KBS. Or just driving out on the day it released in my area. Now, it'll sit on the shelves for months.

The average score on that test is 69%. Nice that they could fix the results.

Tyler Bertuzzi is the first player in Red Wings' history to have four consecutive games with three points. The last Detroit player to do it in three straight games was Yzerman in the 1992-93 season.

Best a could do was “J.ee.t.ing loudly” and not sure that means what it sounds like.
I think it would be similar to J.o.rd.a.n.ing loudly, which is where you tarnish your career by hanging on too long and being a bad executive.

Also yelling "Enjoy your gift basket" in the morning.

Very long read on Mayor Pete. https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/03/all-about-pete Not would you'd call a glowing endorsement. I read that piece a few days ago.

This is a good one So here’s how this puzzle works: you get a telephone number, and you’ll have to decode which famous person it belongs to. Example....532-2974 (politician) = Jeb Bush.

Yes, you did.

I am curious to know how many teams have failed to score a run in innings 1-9 of their first three games, yet won a game. This offensive machine has 11 hits in those three games.

And again, they did peak early.

I enjoyed the salt in the wound aspect of Ol' Dadgum Roy getting his teeth kicked in during the second half topped by having to shake sleazy Bruce Pearl's hand.

Giannis is great. Watch the video.... It's great, right? Then read the first thread of comments (started by HighAndTight). I saw it when watching the video before reading the comments.

Of course the Tigers have one hit so that’s on-brand.

Again, peaking early with that hit coming in the sixth.

COBRA can be mad expensive. Depending on your state there may be better options.

The good news is she will have plenty of time to research those options.
