  1. Can I just say on the record, every time this thread is bumped, I cringe a little every time I click on it dreading what I may find. Pleasantly surprised this time.
  2. Thusfar I am thoroughly gruntled.
  3. No kidding! All one run nail biters except for the safety orange getting handed a quality L. As a Gator fan living in TN, it doesn't get much better than that! Good times all around!
  4. Well, I bet some GA or volunteer assistant has a new job assignment moving forward for us....
  5. In my teens, our family was on vacation in Florida. My dad and I were out in neck deep water in Daytona (I think) when we saw several people on shore pointing out to sea to our right. We couldn't tell what they were pointing at, but were on alert. In an instant, we were surrounded by LOTS (dozens at least) of what I always assumed were baby sharks, but it might have been some sort of small breed. We both immediately started swimming for shore. I will never forget feeling shark skin with every stroke for the first several strokes - definitely smooth and not scaly. Knowing now that sharks don't give birth in large numbers, it was likely some small variation, but at the time I was terrified that Mommy Shark was nearby about to protect her young. The fins were so small, there is no way that is what the people on shore were seeing. Maybe something was hunting them, or there was enough of them to change the water color, etc. Who knows, but it got our attention pretty quick!
  6. This reeks of holding out for more TV money before making the jump to 9. TV benefits from the additional eyes on that non-cupcake game, why shouldn't the SEC get their share? The recent talk of a "short term" 8 conference game schedule screams "until someone pays us to do more."
  7. Several Utz mentions already. The wife (no pics) has brought home some big bags of Dill Pickle Utz chips from Costco recently. They do not suck.
  8. Unsurprising development is unsurprising: more than one. They extracted what they could and left the rest. That paycheck does not justify that kind of a risk.
  9. Today I learned (thanks to PS) that timbers are also called canebreaks. GIF/TheMoreYouKnow/GIF
  10. My son is working for a junk removal company. He is supposed the haul off this pile of crap at a cell tower site. He was advised to either nope out if possible or proceed with extreme caution.

    It has to be true. A bartender said it.
  12. So Capt. Royce Williams was Lt. Pete Mitchell's old man, eh? Oh, and give him the medal yesterday.
  13. Three teens involved? Guaranteed somebody talked it up.
  14. I have one of these that I had forgotten about on an old keyring. There are many times over the last couple of years it would have been handy to have. Going searching for it now.
  15. I said like I’m over 50, not like I’m under 15.
  16. Can someone explain the Empire Today one to me like I'm white and over 50?
  17. Trust this guy. He's pre-med. Literally. As in before modern medicine. But seriously, that is likely part of the issue. Stick with it.
  18. Three in a month is alarming. Do you have a blood pressure cuff at home? if not, get one. Take your BP before getting up and again about 30 seconds after getting up. That can help identify or rule out orthostatic hypotension. The blind staggers are all fun and games until you drop and crack your skull or pelvis on the way down. Be careful.
  19. I saw a report somewhere yesterday that said one of them was leading her classmates out because of the fire alarms, and either didn't hear the teacher calling them back into the room or didn't get back in time. Doing what she was trained to do. Heartbreaking.
  20. Hmm. Methinks I need to go shopping...
