  1. There was talk earlier in this thread about James Bond's watches and his switch from Rolex to Omega. I found this article recently going thu each one. I can't vouch for it's level of accuracy, but it does have a picture of Halle Berry. https://www.watchtime.com/featured/watches-james-bond/
  2. I just saw/read where Bill Fralic died. For those of y'all too young to remember, he was an OL for Pitt and then a great career in the NFL. He was only 56, and I don't believe it had anything to do with steroids or PEDs or CTE. I just read cancer so ugh for him and his family. He was an incredible football player and at Pitt when I was at WVU and just a beast to watch and go up against for our guys. PS: Talking about Pitt football, us old folks who like to hate on them struggle with the admiration for some of the talent that went thru there like: Dorsett, to Marino, to Fralic to Hugh Green to Larry Fitzgerald.
  3. The good thing is that you can ask for a Valium and get it if the Cowboy/Colts game gets too bad.
  4. God bless and I hope for a full recovery. They are doing great work these days when caught early. Now, let's see pics of hot nurses.
  5. Yea, the Frankfurt series comes with both a strap and a bracelet and I'll probably keep the bracelet oni it I think Sinn's Fine Link is much more attractive than their H link. I guess it depends upon the watch. i was thinking about going in another direction with either a copper or blue face model , but couldn't stop drooling on this series and think it is a good complement to my 104.......of course unless I add a MVMT .....lol.
  6. He didn't kill the hookers, just their Padres near the end of his career.
  7. What if I owned a drive thru Daiquiri or Margarita shop? Allowed or probably not?
  8. I had not realized this thread was here or at the other site until recently. I'm not a huge watch freak, but as a daily watch I wear a Sinn 104. It is to me just a great watch both mechanically and in style. I'm German and appreciate the German made (even with Sinn's Swiss movement in it). I had mentioned to another poster that I was getting the itch for a more formal watch and just recently I pulled the trigger on a new Sinn 6099 which is one of the Frankfurt models. I like how the 41 mm sits on my wrist and I like with most Sinns that the dial isn't too cluttered so that i can readily see the time. Below is my new piece, and then a picture of it playing with my 104. I told my kids it was their Christmas present to me. I enjoy looking at y'alls pictures. Hopefully some of you like and wear Sinns I much as I do. PS: Here is better picture of the 6099 I had found online without the glare from my phone camera for those looking at it. Really a pretty piece.
  9. One would think that maybe this will be the impetus to shit or get off the pot and we can decide whether or not to have Universal Single Payer health coverage and just pay for it thru taxation.
  10. Usually that doesn't happen to a thread until you show up.
  11. I tend to believe sadly that much talk/gnashing of teeth/hyperbole from Washington is simply theatre on issues like abortion or immigration. I also believe that you are correct on the serious nature of overreach by law enforcement into our lives, and as well would add in debt/pensions/SS (fiscal not monetary policy) as the big issues that should get the discussion over there inside the beltway.
  12. Because the intent is to mislead and down play the importance of abortion to PP's mission/existence/business model. The commentary and articles I talked about explain that, if you chose to look them up. I even saw a link to one from left leaning Slate Magazine delving into what is behind the numbers. Because your mother chose not to abort you.
  13. I was under the impression (for as little as :I have read about it), that this current ruling was more about whether lower courts should hear a certain case, not for the SC to be ruling one way or the other on funding or a federal involvement/legality of abortion. I think those are coming and the shitshow will be turned up to an 11 if one side overreaches.
  14. If that is the numbers from PP's statement then yes. As I mentioned, when the numbers are examined (not just by pro-life groups) they are misleading in what PP does. The Washington Post did a good article about this as have others. An example is when someone comes into a PP office to get an abortion, PP counts everything they do for this person (exam, STD testing, consultation, etc) as a separate service. That can add up to calling it 6-10 services for 1 abortion. That's misleading and number playing just to make a point on paper. It's like the NRA saying they exist for hunter safety training. The current issue with PP is just as much about funding as it is with actual abortion. Again, PP is disingenuous when they say no federal funds (i think they get about $500 million from fed?) are used for abortion, when federal funds are used for other things like the buildings and staff and overhead that wouldn't be there without it. The idea or talking point of they are there and exist as a "women's health provider" is as disingenuous as the "medical marijuana card" some states have had. It might have a few cases where it's true, but that's not the real picture.
  15. That statement is demonstrably false just by reading their own annual report and what PP calls a service. Commentary on the numbers from multiple news sources (both left and right) delve into this.
  16. And no thread about Arby's here is complete without the Hope Solo pic.
  17. The over/under on this game was something like 45. Pretty confident this one won't make it over. PS: I don't, but for those that gamble, Thurs night games are a complete crap shoot.
  18. Probably next year if the shit hits the fan. So far, not enough has come out/gone down/etc. I would think it has to be Trump.
  19. Damn I wish I still had a black and white TV. Seriously, don't look directly at the Seahawks. You will go blind.

    NFL week 14

    Thujone decides the coverage area ?
  21. The irony there is that many years ago PAC teams (like Cal I remember specifically) would not play BYU because of the overt and institutional discrimination of the LDS Church in regards to no blacks in the priesthood and them being born inferior. I've told some of y'all before that think they want BYU in the conference.....No you don't. They are in no way worth the headaches and whining that comes from the fan base and the LDS Church.

    One of the announcers for the Redskins/Giants game sounds just like Daniel Tosh.
  23. Not at all. I have had a successful career (due in part to my education at WVU), love my work and my kids, and I travel/play at will. I even have time to hang out here on a message board using the exact same handle/name since I joined when WVU got their invite to the Big 12. You on the other hand have had to change names multiple times, are a complete douche and loser in life, and your school cannot get an invite to any one of the P5 conferences. Kind of keeps the garments in wad down in Provo, eh? PS: What happened to your "I'm not even going to waste my time on you"? Sounds like you lied. Must have learned that at BYU.
