Well we'e getting weekly snowstorms here this year. If you want to take some time to come play in the snow we have plenty!

An idea?

Do it do it.

Heh, appreciated.

Thank you, sir. I enjoy doing those threads in the Geezer group- I try to come up with non-obvious choices whenever possible.

It's been fun. My brain says that the fun stops when they play Pittsburgh in a few weeks. I just hope that game is competitive.

where are you?

David Ortiz agrees with you.

I saw "The Wrestler" last night. The film was a tour de force for Mickey Rourke. As far as I'm concerned, he should win the Best Actor Oscar.

The last movie I saw him in was The Rainmaker. I thought he stood out in a relatively minor role. That was a long time ago. It's obvious that he's far from washed up as an actor. Marisa Tomei was quite a revelation in The Wrestler as well, in more ways than one. I totally recommend this movie.

Happy New Year!

Thanks.

I never thought of myself as someone who would be able to pour my soul out there for all to see. Of course, before joining SG, I was never in a situation where I could blog. While I'm on the subject of SG, I want to elaborate on my last paragraph of my blog. I may have mentioned in the past that I joined SG at the urging of a friend of mine who joined as an SG Hopeful last February. Her screen name is Lyrical. She's the one with me on my profile pic. She's chosen to distance herself from me over the past month or so. I owe her a lot, as she helped me turn the corner away from the depression that I was going through after my wife's passing. I neither could nor would badmouth her to anyone at any time. I have no animosity toward her for seemingly ending our friendship, whatever her reasons might be. I just wish she would have been willing or able to tell me what those reasons are. That would have made closure much easier.

I'm glad the Sox got rid of Swisher. I had high expectations for him when he came over. From what I saw of him, he continuously kept taking pitches, many very hittable ones, and before you knew it, he had two strikes on him. It seemed that he was always looking for the walk instead of wanting to swing the bat.

I wish you success dealing with whatever is troubling you. You've made a difference with the support you've given me on a regular basis. Thank you.

I just left the following query with electric_eel also. I'm asking you in case he doesn't know.

How can the score revert to 11-10 in the Chargers-Steelers game when the extra point had been kicked? It was kicked, wasn't it? Or was it a figment of my imagination? Isn't it a fact that the previous play can no longer be reviewed after the next play (the extra point in this case) has been run?

I was watching the game while involved in something else and I had the sound off. Did I miss something?

I can't wait for the election to be over. I don't trust the polls. I have a feeling that the election is oh so close. I fear that there are too many people who would not vote for a Black man for president. I hope to God I'm wrong.

As I say on my blog, no one should take anything for granted. Polls have never been more useless and unreliable than during this campaign.

I may sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I feel that many republicans are saying that they're voting for Obama when polled even though they have no intention of doing so, so that Obama voters will get a false sense of security and thus may not feel that their vote is necessary.

on the "insert" line at the bottom of your the space in which you type there is a "Youtube" listing.

Click that and you will be summoned to post the web address of the specific video you want to post in the box. Just cut and copy the address out of the Browser bar.

They look like this:

That one specifically would look like this:

(if i spell it right it actually shows up)

She had me until she smelled her own fart.

Then she REALLY had me.

what?

Grilling with Manny...

And an old friend...

Come on guys[ Baseball group], you said baseball. I thought you were going to show Senate/House photos. Thats a dirty trick.

I completely understand, dude. It's in the 40s-70s here in Austin, while back home in Indiana its in the 0-10s with seven inches of snow and in Philadelphia, where my parents live, it's in the 20s. Today I called one of my friends in Indiana and just laughed and hung up without actually saying anything.
