A friend and I would go to a dive bar every Monday night when our kids were small. The old neighborhood “house” bar types. We always said that whichever barmaid was around at that time would make a good wife. Not because they cook great burgers or drinks but just watching them handle everything. It was impressive. I think those types can step in and do any job that’s doesn’t require technical training upfront. And if you give them time they could do those jobs too.

I’m just a schmo on the internet but if I can change anyone can. But I don’t blame people being suspicious. She is a politician after all.

It’s about suppression. That’s just as effective

Well we have seen people, like Vance, go the other way, so I guess it’s possible for the reverse to happen. I hope we can go back to a “normal” two party system.

I looked that up yesterday because I was sure there was some kind of certification process for agents. There is but from the MLBPA point of view. There is a code of conduct they must follow. And they have to take a test about the CBA. I couldn’t find anything from MLB’s point of view. I think in these cases it’s player vs player and team vs team. The players don’t care. But the teams would.

these people are all immoral scumbags cosplaying their way through one giant grift.

Going south on 75 thru Toledo I'm amazed at how quickly it turns into just flat farmland nothing... at the southern terminal of 475. As a kid I hated that stretch but as a driver I love it. Last week I encountered no construction hassles in OH. The only problem as always is crossing the river into KY. It took me 3 trips down this year to realize the trick is to not get over right away. keep going until you get to exit 1G, then look for a slow moving truck that you can sneak in front of. Half of the trouble are cars needing to get off the freeway, as well as those getting on, so you aren't really bothering anybody. I shaved 7 minutes off my time.

Yet still the second best “Dave” moment in pop culture.

BTW tomorrow when I am behind a desk again and on a laptop I will start an AI thread here. I will keep it in this forum for reasons similar to this thread… it might beer into that territory from time to time.

“Oh for Gods sake.” Clerks. Kevin Smiths first movie. 🎦 if interested check on YouTube for “clerks 37”. That’s the scene.

My mother in laws uncles were born in that time frame. All from Poland. Same way. They found money hidden in all kinds of places. $20 here or there. Garbage bags filled with cleaned out styrofoam containers and zip lock baggies. Can’t throw **** away. On the one hand I’m glad I don’t worry about money and am blessed with the means to be that way. I’m not rich but I make ok money I think and know of too many people who died in their 60s for me to not have fun now. I have no debt other than 9 years on a mortgage at <3% I love concerts and baseball and hockey games. Live life. I do not take it for granted but I also never saw a brinks truck driving behind a hearse on the way to the cemetery. but I also think of uncle Ted and Bruno and I wonder if I am wasteful and gluttonous.

I think it was Einstein who said compound interest is the most powerful thing created by man.

I was second guessing myself and asked my wife and she confirmed chili and not coney sauce.

If anyone in the area wants good coneys a good place is Joes Top Dogs in east Dearborn. Doesn’t get mentioned like those 2 downtown or Duly’s but it’s just as good.

Because outside of being gay and having photos to prove a gag act, there is really nothing that can be in there that will move the needle in a meaningful way. This is all good fodder but there won’t be ramifications for any men.

No on coney sauce. We’ve always called it chili sauce. or just sauce.

Which because they have their salary caps? I can’t think of any top MLB free agents that have signed long term deals the day FA opens.

For a lot of people they simply can’t get past the idea that a minority got something they felt entitled to. I have plenty of white friends o acquaintances still bitter because their 3.5 GPA wasn’t good enough for Ann Arbor and they assume a minority took their place . It’s the same lesson I mentioned before avout the “unfairness” of trans athletes for females. Sometimes in life there are obstacles beyond your control and you will think it’s unfair. Deal with it. It’s not a travesty you got stuck with another school or lost a volleyball game. My friends in middle school had to play basketball against Chris Webber who was the size of a grown man in 7th grade while we all had chubby baby fat. It happens.

For those who are not aware…. Nancy, according to the rumor mongers, was said to be very good at something in Hollywood circles when she met Ron.

Good luck.

Yep. Specifically with regards to SP and the 5 innings thing.

Reminds me of Whoopie Goldberg defending Polanski... "it wasn't rape rape...." were her words.
