  1. Was it empty because of the storm we got? People panic buying on Tue/Wed.
  2. Don't feel guilty. It's all in the underwriter's hands, not the local rep. The whole concept is crap. "Here, pay for this in case you need it." "Cool, that seems fair. Bit of a risk but I get it" "Oh, you needed it? We have to charge you for that now" It's like paying for a reserved parking spot in a downtown city but then they charge you if you actually park in it.
  3. Yeah he’s got both. For prescriptions it doesn’t do much. It’s one of the other.
  4. Yep. Us too. Luckily he’s still on my plan but when he’s 26… Medicaid it is. Oh well. I guess it’s his fault to the maga dip****s out there. Anybody who supports these cuts can suck my….
  5. Why didn't he just do an executive order lowering inflation?
  6. Women had sex with Elon because he's rich and he thinks he's hot.
  7. "our Germans are better than their Germans" Fascinating account in David Halberstam's book The Fifties about how Werner and his crew surrendered.
  8. I had to help prepare a bid that included EV for the post office last year.
  9. I was watching the NBA slam dunk contest and it was Craig Sager who broke the news to us. I will never forget that. I saw Buster a few weeks later at a WWF event af Joe Louis. Mike Tyson was going to be the referee in a match.
  10. You could also use a local Fox affiliate app for games on Fox, called "Fox local". It basically broadcasts whatever is on that channel. I use it on the TV in the office in the morning to watch the local news instead of the xfinity app, which I could also use. It runs cool featurettes during commercial time, old clips, etc. I assume it's not blacked out for sporting events but never tried it.
  11. God is pro america, that's why the Bible was written in English and Jesus looked like Kenny Loggins rather than Gregory Hines.
  12. we're not crying, we're laughing at you.
  13. and it's a narrow (or maybe wide, who knows) fabric of that "Christian" church that's made up of denominations and sects that in terms of doctrine have fundamental disagreements, and fought wars over them, but the common thread that overrides those doctrinal differences are profit and control over women and fear of minorities. JD Vance is in bed with other Christians who think he's going to hell but since they are "owning the libs" it's all good.
  14. Ed said something about a roster deadline a few days ago. I don't keep up with that. But that could be it as well. I just get fed up with the sentiment that somehow the Tigers are being lazy or whatever.
  15. republicans are anti religion.
  16. Is there any other explanation that he's over valuing himself? You are worth what you can get. He hasn't signed and spring training starts soon. Maybe all the teams are being stupid and cheap but why should a team be expected to pay more than they have to?
  17. Yes. And he got dumped pretty much by republicans. 🙂
  18. When have republicans ever made anything better for the poor or disabled?
  19. We always throw in our change into a container we have then when it's full go to Lowe's and use the coinstar machine there and use it as a Lowe's gift card to pay for something around the house we want... like blinds or whatever. But we use cash less and less so that's slowed down a little.
  20. I didn’t get a chance to watch that link but I know the CBS broadcast cut some of Derek’s work.
  21. Feb 9, 1773 William Henry Harrison was born. 9th US president and first to die in office. Also the shortest term, just a month. It was legend that he got pneumonia from not wearing an overcoat and getting sick from the rain during his inauguration. Later investigations determined it was septic shock due to poor sanitation. his death creates a crisis as it wasn’t a sure thing whether the VP became president or just carried out the duties as “acting president”. The cabinet resisted until the chief Justice confirmed he’s a real president if he takes the oath of office and congress passed a resolution confirming Tippecanoe is responsible for Detroit being a part of the US instead of Canada. He negotiated the treaty of springwells at Ft Wayne in Detroit which established peace with the Indians and granted pardons.
  22. And it stops at LZ II. I knew it was 2 hours and I am looking and my watch then realized it’s called “becoming…” I knew how they got started, what they did before , etc. a big bonus was archived interviews from Bonham which they said had never been heard before. It fit in well. John Paul Jones is a funny guy, I call him the most talented living member, and it came thru in his clips.
  23. Isn’t only relevant if those 200K deciders are in swing congressional districts or swing senate states up in ‘26 or ‘28? The only way to potentially stop the madness is a change in congress. I don’t see very many congressional republicans growing a conscience.
  24. I saw this tonight. Only authorized LZ documentary in which they participated in. As a huge Zep fan I will say I didn’t learn hardly anything new. However visually I saw performances I never saw before. In crystal clear color. In fact outside of the widely available Denmark show from their beginning all of the live performance footage was new to me and I feel comfortable saying I’ve consumed all available media about them. I’m sure the audio wasn’t the same show but it sounded very good. If you are a fan I recommend it. I could have used a little less music and more talking though.
