The problem is that the only quality the MIL finds important in a home purchase is that it is in New England. It is so blatantly obvious that she is trying to sabotage our move and we both know it. I think the rest of the family would be shocked to hear the things she says to us when no one else is around. Thank god for this thread because I can only bite my tongue for so long. My last sentence was a bit much, but trust me, I'm holding off on saying so much more. What it really amounts to is that the same house we both want at this stage is probably going to cost us about $30k more in a few months and we'll get it on a plot of land about half the size, so you can understand my state of mind right now. edit: And on a slightly related note, if you are looking at new home builders, tread carefully if you want to look at online reviews for them. At one site I looked at last night, their highest rated builder in the country rated in at an average of 3.5 stars in a 6 star system. Only the negative comments make it online.

If you slow down the tape, you can see the exact moment his campaign shattered.

We were all set to put a deposit down on a new home construction but my 31 year old wife won't do it because her mother doesn't approve. You know, the mother who lives 800 miles away, has been to this area once yet somehow knows it better than we do. Her 70-something year old friend lives somewhere else, so we should too. She now wants to come down in April with her sister and look at homes with us because somehow these two women who have never lifted a hammer in their lives and live in homes older than them somehow know everything there is to know about home construction. I have no idea how to undo 31 years of being told your opinion doesn't matter, but sooner or later it's going to drive me away.

I love that description. It's pretty much dead on.

There's no way Jordan forgets. I'm sure the video was viewed by most people in that country. Those are the images you never forget. Just look at their immediate response of executing a few of their prisoners. That's just the start.

I'm shocked that people don't get this. It is purely a money based decision and it makes perfect sense. "Hey people, here is encouragement to go watch something on a station we don't own." That will never happen.

I'd love to know what the hell they were thinking. Thanks to this one, not only do they have another country knocking in their door, but it's also a Muslim country. I can see if they want the image of being attacked by the western world, the crusades all over again, but a few more incidents like this one and the west will be able to sit back while a fully Muslim-led charge is made against ISIS.

At least it brought about a very early end to Rand Paul's presidential campaign.

Well let's just say I assumed she was from Minnesota when I saw her.

There really is no thread where this fits, so I'm going to label it as awesomely stupid. I noticed a strange license plate in front of me this morning. When I finally took the time to read it, it said "PRPLRAIN". She even had the old artist logo printed off from her computer and taped to the inside of the window. There really is no better way to start the day than with a good laugh.

Well at least there's one useful piece in that deal. Jocelyn must have some gas left in the tank.

Do you not get the chance to type in a word or two saying who you quote? I have no idea how these things works so it may be a stupid question.

That's the exact thing that is going to kill the NFL. They're being sued constantly by ex-players and yet this one gets through because it's the Super Bowl. I don't think they every get past the concussion issues and it will eventually bring them down.

That scenario probably shouldn't even be thrown out there. Only 4 1st round picks have actually been moved in this draft and we have two of them. Tampa gets the Rags pick and Edmonton gets Pittsburgh's. I suppose some could move when the deadline approaches, but it's shaping up to where we are the only team that has 2 late round picks to move.

You completely explained why it did work that year by saying there was no McDavid. But there was even more to it with that draft. Not only was there no McDavid, but there was no true #1 prospect that year either. The other big change today is the salary cap. You can certainly work around a deal that is going to involve multiple NHL players, but it's an added complication that is going to get in the way of a lot of internet trade proposals that are thrown around.

No, it would take a lot more than those two additional picks. We're talking about serious NHL talent to even get someone to listen. It doesn't really matter in the end though. Neither of the McEichel draft picks is going to be moved no matter who winds up in the top two. There was only one scenario where it may have even been possible and that was the long shot where Buffalo wound up with both draft picks.

Those 5-7th round draft picks have absolutely not value in this discussion. No team is going to submit a serious trade offer where they are the one getting those picks in return. There may be a serious offer out there where a team moves down a slot. This one is not even remotely close to that.

Quite honestly, it's almost like asking if the sun was green would you look at it. The premise is so absurd that it's not really something that should be answered. It's the Joe Sportsfan trade proposal of Hodgson and Stafford for Crosby and Malkin. But yes, I supposed if Pittsburgh makes that offer, you take it and run. Of course, not only does Rutherford get fired immediately, but he also gets subjected to mandatory drug testing and is permanently institutionalized. Wait, can Pittsburgh fire him if he's determined to be mentally handicapped? I feel like the feds may go after them. The again, he is Canadian, so I'd be willing to look the other way.

Why would the other team have any interest in that?

It does make me somewhat happy to see Toronto running parallel with us.

The fact that he had to mention the investigation though is one huge black eye for the league. Legacy this and legacy that, the investigation is their legacy.

This may be the perfect ending to the season the NFL has. The team caught cheating in the playoffs won the super bowl. It will be interesting to see how the league handles this one.

You're right. I know d4rk has no chance

Twice. Clearly there's an issue here. I'll have to avoid it next time or else I'll officially be labeled a perv.

Yeah, I know I said it a couple weeks ago, but If you ever had a chance d4rk, this is it.
