      Here: LINK  is a collection of Withers' seven top hits.   I've been listening to it at work this morning.  

  2. Holy hell...MY youngest is graduating second grade this week, and I've got two more years of feels than VictorVector.  At least.

      So how do those two more years of feels feel? Should I start drinking heavily now, or just go straight into heroin?

      Not for long. Mahomes gonna  get paid and some of those pieces will start to disappear.  We will see if he is an all time great when he has to play over his salary to overcome roster deficiencies. Right now they probably have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL.

      It's more like saying, "We have some pretty good posters on this board but the new guy .2. is the best!"  (Well, it'd be like that if we had a poster named .2. and he was the best.)

      Honestly, everyone is saying it, but he really did inspired me to try new foods, cook new foods, and start traveling the world this year. Plus, he made me realize that no matter where we come from in this world we're all pretty much the same. A fact that was confirmed on my first trip overseas.

       

      I hope I can be as selfaware and open to new things as he was.

      They used that quote in this docu-series on Netflix called The Mind, Explained

       

      Pretty interesting, only 5 20-minutes episodes. Here's a little article too: https://www.vox.com/2019/9/12/20861728/the-mind-explained-netflix-vox

      Usually, I get pissed when I see the new phonebooks in front of my front door..But my parents used to tell stories about using corn cobs, pine cones, and Sears catalogues (except the bra section) during the Depression..

      I AM FOOT FOOT

      I'm doing outdoor activities all year round,  I keep a emergency bag of supplies, toilet paper included in my truck, boats,  on the atv and snowmobile, but in a pinch in summer, button weed is ideal,fall winter and early spring is when I come home missing a sock.

  15. And on Sunday morning Husker fans awoke to discover shards of glass and a red sticky mess from the broken pitchers of Kool-Aid littering every living room and mancave in the state of Nebraska.  sigh  

    1. 4skers89

      4skers89

      I had 1 pitcher of Kool-Aid before the season started.  Just one.  What a mess it makes.  Never again.  If they win a NC, I'll still contend that they aren't very good.

    2. NUance

      NUance

      I told myself that I wouldn't get caught up in the hype.  Not this time.  That Nebraska and the Big 10 just weren't the same situation as UCF.   But the Kool-Aid was too irresistible.  So I drank.  And now I need to find a good twelve step program.

      @Comfortably Numb oh trust me. There's no reasoning with him. That's not the only thing he believes that is strange. Lots of conspiracies with this one. And I'd say his parents are the ones not educating him, not me. I tend to ignore him and not entertain his ramblings.

      I'm a total pretend flatearther. My plan is to continue to tell people about how the earth is flat until they get so pissed off they pay to send me to space and I'll be all like "WEEEEEE!!!!!! j/k! I just wanted to get to space! Suckers!"

       

      So far it's not working.

      ^^I think that's how it is.  Most Flat Earthers don't really believe that tripe.  They're just internet people who enjoy trolling others.  But I do think there is a small minority of FE'ers who really do believe the earth is flat.  I'l like to talk to one.  But they're hard to find.

      @commando that wasn't really called for. Nuance seems to have genuine questions and is brave enough to ask them in a public forum. Some people haven't followed this as close as others, and may not understand it as well as you do. Being a jerk doesn't really encourage them to learn more.

       

      As to your hospice death @NUance, if she had COVID-19 odds are it accelerated her condition and was at least partially responsible for her death. I would trust the doctor's diagnosis (that's what they trained for). There are a number of symptoms and complications related to COVOD-19, one of which is cardiac issues as was noted before. 

       

      If you're a hemophiliac who is shot and bleeds-out did you die from hemophilia or a gunshot wound?

      thing is....it's the entire right wing that is swinging towards saying that the y are overcounted  my question is  if they are actually overcounted...what is causing all the extra deaths?

      Then ask that question and don't be condescending about it. It's not that hard.

      Not to mention, he shouldn't have been in the game for this check to the head which left Zach Aston-Reese with a concussion and a broken jaw!

       

       

      And he laughed at Aston-Reese as he lay on the ice

      Guess I’m going to have start watching this series. That Wilson is a bit of a goon. It was actually a pretty skillful trip to free up that breakaway goal but that hit on Aston-Reese is deserving of some payback. Might not have been so bad if he wasn’t grinning about it but still....

      Not high expectations.  But not dead last either.  (Actually NW is behind us in the conf. standings.  Their only win was us.)

      Agreed with others that OSU took their time on purpose. The longer they took to make a decision, the longer people had to forget. Smart strategy if all you care about is winning football games.

      I think Urbs gets a time served penalty, his wife quietly gets put on administrative leave for the fall semester and then comes back and everyone feels really dirty about it.  I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Gene Smith announces his retirement effective next year.

      Even if a call like that had helped out Nebraska I'd be able to acknowledge it's a bad call.  I think most Husker fans could.  Or I hope so anyway.

      @NUance IMO, I can’t believe they overturned it. I thought for sure it would’ve stayed with the call on the field.
