  1. He needs to sit. He’s looked disinterested all season, like he really doesn’t give a shit
  2. Feel like we tie it up with a dinger after Flo K and pulling LK
  3. Cheers: Shock Aversion Scene
  4. forgot about him, he was a swiss army knife for us last year. One of our only 2 way players
  5. Was it Ole Miss or am i mis-remembering, had to win SEC tournament to get in , won it and then won? the CWS. Edit: haha , just looked it up, beat the land thieves for the natty as the last team to make field, won 10 of 11 in post season to claim their first and only title; got to love college baseball https://olemisssports.com/news/2022/6/26/baseball-ole-miss-wins-the-2022-national-championship
  6. Did you see the other day someone (may have been softball now that I think about it) hit the HR cycle? Slam, 2 run, 3 run and then i believe solo shot to round it out.
  7. Yeah iirc we played IU 4 games at least (maybe more, did we see them postseason?) and they were more than game. You could tell they had some guys that could really play. edit: just looked it up, we played a 3 game set , dropping the rubber match and no postseason
  8. Sorry if already posted. Love him or hate him, Jon Stewart with a reasonable solution. Long and short, Israel stops bombing and pulls out. ALL hostages released. Arab nations form coalition force (I know I know, thats a big ask). Wont be called NATO for obvious reasons, but rather METO (I laughed, Middle East Treaty Org). DMZ between a Gaza and Israel is established, funded and monitored by a METO force. Im mean it makes sense on paper. https://www.cnn.com/videos/media/2024/02/27/the-daily-show-jon-stewart-war-in-gaza-orig.cnn
  9. Thank you for that Wally. Those of us who have experienced this journey/choice know the path is arduous. Mrs Jdhorn and I got married later in life and thus started a family later; for the younger folks here, women often incur a thinning of the lining needed for attachment. Being in our mid-30's, time was not on our side. After our first was born in '04 through IUI, we wrestled with IVF. Our decision really came down to.....50 years from now will we be able to say to ourselves we exhausted all options of having our own , 2nd child. IVF is not cheap , you know better than most , and we decided to give it a go. Fortunately for us it took on the first try and we were blessed with 1 of the 4 placed being born. IVF rarely works the first time and there is the possibility of the egg splitting, ie octomom. Our Dr did not believe in reduction, so that is a painful, stressful few weeks. Ive been doing some additional reading this morning, and it seems likley this may only be a pause. The State Legislature of AL will be taking up the matter soon and we can only pray more pragmatic laws are enacted, one can only hope. HTF did someone gain access to that part of the hospital?!
  10. really glad we had the nuts to fire him, despite his relative success. 4-0 in Bowls, never won less than 7, no losing record, 1 10 win Season. He was not a good rep for Texas. What an asshole.
  11. TY for the levity @Captainant
  12. God forbid my kids encounter the challenges my wife and I did. IVF is often the only hope for some couples. Freezing embryos due to illness, necessity or the myriad of other circumstances is a real thing. If this becomes national, my goodness what a travesty. Us too, right there with you. IUI for the first, IVF for the 2nd and the third natural, born exactly 53 weeks after #2. The chemistry was there, the body was accepting and we got lucky/fortunate our third was conceived w/o any help. I dont know why but this topic just really pissed me off when I saw it on the nightly news last night. I even called my state rep this morning to make voice my take with her. At the risk of going CR, Im considering voting Dem for the first time in my life due to women's body issues. Rant done.
  13. Days after Alabama’s Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children, a second clinic pauses IVF treatment https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/21/us/alabama-ruling-frozen-embryos-facility-pauses-ivf/index.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/02/21/embryos-alabama-supreme-court-ruling/ As a parent of an IVF child, this is disheartening. I have 3 teen daughters and it is beyond ridiculous. At issue is a Mobile, AL hospital was sued when a patient somehow wandered into the lab and destroyed an IVF procedure; the patients sued the hospital for wrongful death and State Supreme court ruled in favor of the plantiff. Now IVF is haulted statewide.
  14. I think playing one game vs two, with a shot at the FF is better. Getting in top 4 will be the goal. Thin the heard a bit. Playing a home playoff game would be great if it happens, but being on the couch, watching your next opponent grind it out is a nice feeling imo. There wont be much difference in 8 or 9 opponent. A strong #4 conf champ is hoping for an upset and drawing #12 neutral site.
  15. Nice 2 piece before people stepped in.
  16. @Ghost of LL yeah the spend requirement is just for getting guests in for $0. The reason this was important to me is I fly Delta through Atl 2-3x per month and next year I will lose Sky Club, but with Amex opening Centurion in ATL, ill have another option, albeit not as convenient.
  17. Check me on this, but I think that is just to bring in a guest where there is a spending limit required. Could be wrong though. The link I attached doesnt mention a min spend threshold.
  18. lets see some evidence of that
  19. Interestingly, we would have 5 ranked (according this poll) opponents whether we stayed in B12 or not.
  20. Well this solves my 2025 problem of not getting into Delta SkyClub https://about.americanexpress.com/newsroom/press-releases/news-details/2024/American-Express-To-Open-Largest-Centurion-Lounge-at-Hartsfield-Jackson-Atlanta-International-Airport/default.aspx With Delta's '25 change to Skyclub access, having the Amex Platinum will get you in free (well $500 technically, iirc). Wonder if this will ease 2024 overcrowding in ATL Skyclub? 26K square feet, in E concourse, so a bit of hike if you connect in B, but their plane train is very efficient and I usually just walk anyway, as the ATL has done a great job with the walking museums, art etc.. between several of the terminals.
  21. no doubt, like talking about a no no in the 4th inning
  22. What a market. Back up nearly 1/2 a point across the board as of 11am
  23. @Royalfan5 check me on this, but i dont think there is an annual distribution requirement, just the mandatory 'must be 100% liquidated in 10 years' rule. We came into a large ($200k+) inherited 403b and inherited Roth when my SIL passed away in '21 and we have them sitting in 2 inherited IRA accounts with Vanguard and we have not touched it yet.
  24. You've done good young man. Im a pound the S&P guy myself , in a taxable Vanguard account. Ive got you by 15 years, but a good bond fund may be an option. With rates so high right now, they are paying good dividends. When rates come down late this year and next, the bond price will go up, could sell then, principle is pretty much guaranteed if you stagger them right
  25. I am taking this one to be analogous to the theory that the scientists left on their own and froze to death or is analogous to Navarro's sister walking out into the ocean/sea to commit suicide. The Coast Guard found her body. Just spitballing here.
