I'm more of a lurker. I come to Sabrespace everyday and really enjoy you kids. I don't feel the need to comment much. But I'll say this. I just had my college bound daughter read this entire thread. Thanks Josie.

I love this idea.....
I'd key up this verse, Springsteen style, right in the middle of the verse.
"One more trip and back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

As soon as I heard Andre's dis of Johhny football, I thought of ZFG.

Matrix and Vibe have a chain. No timing belt. Belts are silly.

I am 52 years old, 6'0 and about 185. It's great to see all this activity. It was really frustrating when I hit about 35 and couldn't get any of my college buddies to get off the couch to do anything more than golf, and even then they'd ride a cart. Now I'm dealing with one after another with heart disease and they have diabetes and no energy. After an odd conversation I was thinking "hey, maybe if you could see your package you wouldn't need a pill", but what do I know. On my golf league last night most of the young people rode a cart to play 9 holes and then they ask how I stay so thin. I went to Darien lake Saturday because my kids were in a chorus competition, and it was so sad to see how obese this area has become.
I work out 4-5 times a week and when I don't, I start feeling lethargic. That makes it easy to keep working out. Tis morning I ran 4 miles before my kids woke up and I feel great.
I plan on getting 300,000+ miles out of this vehicle!

Like ROC_EMT (condolences, I'm not ashamed to say I miss mom everyday three years later), my mom is gone, but I will tell you guys that as I got older realized that the most valuable thing that we could give each other was time. We stopped buying each other gifts and for awhile I'd go over and work a few days in her garden. Eventually I started buying her a ticket to a Bills game every year. Just her and I. she was a huge sports fan, and I remember rolling into RW stadium and tailgating with her and getting teased by the folks around me about my hot date, but my mom would tell all her friends and truthfully she really enjoyed herself. The last game I took her to before her health failed was the Miami snow game.
What I wouldn't give to do that again.

I'll say it. Since the big announcement I've been in a better mood. Strange how that works. Top the feeling of optimism with the Sabres with a game against Toronto to start off the weekend. Awesome!

TSN.Ca Power rankings.....dead last with this tidbit "The haul of draft picks has begun and it's going to be fascinating to see how this season turns out for the Sabres. Right now, it looks like they could be one of the worst teams in recent memory, only to get worse once they deal G Ryan Miller." The front office must be proud of how they spent our ticket money.

Just made me think of one of my all time favorite songs of optimism!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-H0uIH5HHQMy GPS misdirected me on the way to a doc appt this morning. While that part sucked, as I wheedled around through the slums lost as could be, hurling cathartic yet unheard expletives at my phone, I saw some real characters that unwittingly brightened my day.
To the lady by the bus stop dancing better than I could ever dance in the oversized white shirt with a giant tiger face and fringe with beads with what looked like adult diapers and majorette boots- get it girl.
The man with his arms spread wide running across the busy street like an airplane, I don't know where you're going dude, but I hope you land safely.
TGIF.

My great friend Jane, who passed away a few years ago and I miss dearly, once said to another colleague who was going through your situation, this rather harsh nugget....."Pick another girl off the girl tree". At the time I was in a difficult relationship myself and those words weighed on me until I took Jane's advice. 21 years later, with three kids and the best wife ever, I realize how right she was. It always hurts, but better days are coming.My girlfriend of 7 years (fiance for 2) is leaving and moving back to NY. Tried for a long time and can't seem to make it work...this sucks.

What makes this a fantastic Friday? Watching the Leaf fans reaction to MacArthur's miss last night. Watching Cuse win. That cute kid singing the anthem....and it's Friday. I always come here for a Friday pick me up and the last post was at 7:59 am? Just looking for positives!

I focused as much as I could on Stafford last night. And he is Connelly. His lack of hustle had me furious. I've never played on a professional team, but even in a pick up soccer game my overweight friends play harder. My favorite players are the ones with marginal talent that play every shift like it might be their last (think Mair, Ellis, Kaleta), and even better those that have talent that play that way (Ott, Crosby (a joy to watch if you like hustle even though I want to hate him) and my least favorite are the ones that have all the talent in the world and just float around. There are plenty, but Connelly and Stafford are good reps. One guy like that is a cancer. We have a few.

I know a couple people who work there. Bad visual. Unfortunately, you can't even un-see your imagination.
As for my complaint, drivers approaching a four way intersection to my right who short cut the left hand turn and take up some of my lane as I approach the intersection. I had to slam on my brakes, because they were to lazy to turn the wheel a bit more, or were holding coffee, a cell phone, putting on make-up, etc. If my car wasn't small, I'd love to end their arrogance.
Wow, that feels better.

I am very excited about all the news about the developement down at the F'N center. But for some reason all I feel is hate for absentee Ralph Wilson.
I might need some counseling.

On a related note, I hate smart phones. I'm really wondering about all this "convenience" that I've heard so much about. All I see is a bunch off people who are always being interupted. I somehow manage to have a life (as sad as it is) and get stuff done. And is it really that important to be able to find out the name of the actor who played the limo driver in the first Die Hard movie while I'm tailgaiting at a Bills game?
This. A couple of my wifes friends and her recentely went out for a celebration of one of their birthdays. I stopped in (yes I was invited) to buy them a round and 4 of 6 were head down on their Fing iphones. My wife wasn't one of them as she leaves hers in the car. Unbelievable. I have a Razr Max, but work hard to not be "that guy".
If you dragged your family photo album around, and made people look at it, you'd be very unpopular. This is the new version of that. Put it away, it can wait.
I applaud my father, who after witnessing his grandchildren texting this past thanksgiving while ignoring each other, collected all the kids phones and said they could have them back when they left. It was awesome. The kids played football and claimed it was the best bird day they ever had.

I'm not sure if this should go here or if it should wait for F'N fantastic fridays as it both sucks and is funnier than anything run on SNL in quite some time. Are hockey fans really the target audience? My wife dropped into the basement workshop last night and caught this ad during Rangers/ Devils, and I had no explanation for her raised eyebrow.

We had a Pontiac Grand Safari wagon when I was growing up. Freaking awesome.

Hey Shrader,
I'm very sorry.
My mom was a teacher and when she passed a year and a half ago, it was a note like yours from one of her students that I cherish most. She loved her students and she was an awesome mom, but when she was gone it was so final it seemed. It was notes afterwords like yours that were so comforting. they said in essense that the lessons each student learned meant so much that in spirit she lived on. Don't fail to communicate to the family your feelings . It really means a lot.
Take Care,
Steve

What a douche! You I mean....you prefer to buy on Amazon, but you want to take a trip to the mall to dog ear their book, and then buy it from someone else...I think I just found my complaint for next Thursay! :P
Amen to that. Apparently, there is no cost to supplying samples to non-buying customers.

I've been moderately to severely overweight since I was about 10 years old. Three years ago I made a commitment to start living a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy food most of the time, in the correct portions, and exercising regularly. I was approaching 40 and had no doubt that I'd be very lucky to see 50 if I did not make major changes.
Well, this week I finally hit my goal weight! Three years ago I weighed an embarrassing 305 lbs, today I weigh 173. Total loss of 132 lbs. Went from 3x shirts to M's, from a 52" waist to 34". Doing my first half-marathon later this year.
I feel F'n fantastic. :)
I rarely post here, but read often. Always puts me in a great Friday mood. But a post like this deserves special merit. Dude, you got the monkey off your back (a decent sized one at 132). Having been around overweight people, I know this isn't easy. Congradulations and good luck with your marathon. I'm really happy for you.
Take Care,
Steve

She is only a bit into it. She lives a charmed life and probaly hasn't been around this kind of behavior Josie was talking about, but I have been around it. Humans can be cruel. It's best she knows that.
