He's the drown sea god, anything is possible. It's the Iron Fleet man! Just kidding, it does seem completely implausible.
Arya going home! Best part of the amazing episode!
Don't think she is. After the run in with the Dire wolf, she said, "it isn't you." I think this was her stating that her going home isn't her, and isn't what she should be doing. I think she's turning around again.

That's an awesome idea.

trying to catch up on so many conversations here...it's exhausting! lol

I've been waiting for this thread to pop back up :) I'm in! I'm fine with the 1QB setup we have.

Wowsa. Left for a couple weeks (months?) and came back to a whole lot of 'whoa'.
Between my job, twin boys (almost a year), and life, (and of course the Sabres being absolutely infuriating), I've had a hard time fitting this place into my schedule.
I might come back when I have time. Probably will just lurk from time to time.

I wish the rest of my team were as great as my Johnson+Bell stud RB duo.
I hope your team goes belly up this week. I Need another win here!

up to 2nd?! WOOT! :flirt:

Stupid complaint, but teething. Both boys cut 2 teeth at once. Now both have their third tooth coming. that's 6 teeth my wife and I are dealing with at once. Orajel and that other natural stuff don't work for teething. Ended up going old school and using a dab of whiskey to help the pain for the boys. Oh, and Children's Tylenol doesn't do ...
My wife and I haven't slept more than 4 - 5 hours on any given night in almost 2 weeks. I'm running on empty. Might have my mom come and watch the boys Saturday, so we can just sleep. I love my kids, but I just need 8 hours of sleep.

You just know we'd pick Romo up, let Taylor walk, and Romo would suffer a career ending injury in the first game.
In true Buffalo fashion

Stefon Diggs killed me. That and playing Jeffrey over Kerley :(

Gonna miss tonights game. They better freaking win though

That's great news Bio!!

Ahahah I like her. Someday we'll all have a beer together!
We should figure out an RIT or Sabres hockey game towards the end of the season or something.
My complaint for the day doesn't actually pertain to me, per say, directly. I have a technician, former Army metal worker, did odd jobs after he got out, and is now looking for stable work to settle down. He came into the interview two years ago with a backwards hat on, long hair, jeans and a polo/golf type shirt. I hired him on the spot (much to the disliking of the other interviewers). He has turned out to be one of our best technicians and one of my best direct reports. He keeps the lab area clean, and is a jack of all trades. If he doesn't know something, he teaches himself or asks someone to teach him. There isn't much he can't do.
Well, he has outperformed his job description now for about 8 months, with so many people leaving and the rest of us trying to pick up the slack. I submitted a Personnel Action request (i.e. a promotion/jump in pay) for him 6 months ago. I was just told that it's not going to get done until at least after the first of the year. This guy works his ass off, does everything he is asked and then some, rarely if ever complains, and is being on. He came to me recently and told me that if he feels like his self motivation and his proactivity are being used. He wants to see even the smallest of pay bumps. My boss told him we submitted something, but I can't tell (read that as literally cannot, not that I'm afraid to, I just am not allowed to) him that it won't go through for at least 2 more months. Guy and his girlfriend just had a baby, and he couldn't afford to take full paternity leave, and she hasn't returned to work in any capacity because they can't afford daycare, even if she was working. I'm stuck with just giving the guy giftcards every couple of weeks. I hate not being able to bump this guy's pay up, and I'm afraid I'm gonig to lose one of if not my best workers.

Sorry, that's my misuse of synonyms to avoid repeating more common terms. Kinda backfires sometimes haha
Not stationed in that sense. D4rk works in the solar industry. A couple more years where he is now is necessary for stability, and then perhaps we can move somewhere else.
Oh I absolutely agree that love doesn't pay the bills. I'm lucky that d4rk and I have a pretty solid understanding of this. We're both very pragmatic people. I have been struggling with the idea of him making more than me and being a "kept woman" for some time now, let alone him being sole major income for even a brief period of time. I prefer to be as financially independent as possible. My mother was a stay at home mom and she has always been torn between being happy she was there for us and regretful she didn't become the big business woman she was expected to be. My father was privileged enough to make a salary that made this possible.
I'm not too stupid with my money. I won't go without a job for longer than a month or two, and even that I will be making enough off freelance to pay my rent, gas, and car payments without dipping into my savings. I can tighten my belt. I already barely eat :P
Even if d4rk were to make a salary like my father, I would work. I refuse to not contribute as much as possible.
As to the squabbling- you're right there too. We squabbled plenty. I'm responsible for lighting a fire under his a$$ to figure out his life. And he listened. And worked his butt off. And he's doing really well now. Now it's my turn to wallow around figuring things out!
You and Mrs Menace would get a long great lol.
I've always said I want to be a stay at home dad. :lol:
I asked Mrs menace if I could quit my job and be a stay at home dad. She told me she was no ones sugar momma. lmao. I'm still employed...

I recall reading during their Superbowl run that the secondary has an approach that involves intentionally committing illegal contact violations on just about every play -- the idea being that the refs will not call them for every infraction on every play, and thus a certain level of illegal contact becomes permissible and only the most egregious stuff gets called.
I remember this as well. oy vey.
-
Well that escalated quickly...
-
This is going to be real tight. On one hand, I want the Bills. But if Graham and Baldwin wanna ship in 15 points each, well.... :lol:
I'm more worried about Baldwin than Graham, and of course, this will be the week the Bills D goes off with 6 sacks and 4 picks or something ridiculous.
-
Need Wildcards 3 players (2 + Defense) to do terrible tonight to pull off this win lol.
-
That's good news. Yeah, I would not be screwing around with illness if I had twins to take care of. Ain't nobody got time to be sick!
truth
-
Hoping to get home in time tonight to catch the game. I have a drs apt at 4, then need to run to the middle school where my mom works. I helped them set up their sound system, and they're having issues, and have a production coming up. Goal is to get everyone set by 630 so I get home in time.
Also just got an ESPN update. Bogo out indefinitely with sprained knee. :(

Just go to the doctor if you start coughing. That's what I'm gonna do from now on. If only to get that sweet sweet codeine cough syrup :lol:
There more I look at the time line, the less I think I had the flu. I think I had a sinus infection that turned into pneumonia.
Going to the doctor today actually haha. The boss (my wife obviously) instructed me to not come home until I visited the doctor lol. In all seriousness though, I can't take any risks with the boys, although they seem to have a pretty decent immune system so far. They've been sick once, but kicked it after a week or so. That week was hell, but the two times I've been sick since, they never got anything.
-
Pneumonia
I'm hoping what I have doesn't turn into that. PS maybe listen to Josie? take a rest boss. :P
-
Seeing A. Williams land on IR makes me hope that someone just annihilates Landry in the rematch against the fins.

I looked it up a bit, it looks like this would be the first time above ".500" since the very first game of the lockout-shortened season when the Sabres beat Philly.
Three years and 11 months without sniffing that since.
It ends tonight.
seriously? damn!
