I read the thread title as... O’Reilly has jack in confidence as captain. My bad.

My participation as a fan changed when I stayed up late for a west coast Sabres game and ended up punching a hole in my door over a loss. I knew that I was in too deep. I have seasons to Amerks games. I enjoy that high level of hockey. I go to a Bills game if a group is going and it’s not about the Bills at that point. The last Sabres game I went to was with tickets my FIL won on a silent auction. I no longer plan my free time for Sabres or Bills. I still have MSG but my heart hasn’t been there. I hope these pumpkin heads turn things around.

A Flyers fan and a Bruins fan are walking down the railroad tracks. They walk along without speaking for quite some time. The Flyers fan finally breaks the silence “Man these are the loooooongest stairs I’ve ever climbed!” The Bruins fan responds “What really gets me is how low these handrails are!”

This one is naughty. Farmer Jenkins has a rooster that will f@ck anything. ANYTHING. He catches him with the horse, “Rooster you’re going to f@ck yourself to death!” Rooster nods him off. He catches him the the cow, “Rooster, I’m telling you, you’re going to f@ck yourself to death. Again Rooster disagrees. He catches him with the goat, the ducks etc with same warning every time. Farmer Jenkins wakes one morning to find Rooster lying still at the top of the knoll. “I knew it!” He goes to retrieve the body and says aloud “I told you that you’d f@ck yourself to death.” Rooster opens his eyes and winks as he motions towards the buzzards circling overhead.

Wow

Unfortunately(for many reasons) my BIL is from Boston. He’s taken us to some great spots in both Chicago and Boston. I have no doubt there’s a good place here, I just don’t know it. The sashimi in Boston was far better. It was so fresh that it didn’t know it was dead yet.

Nelson is 26 years old. We’ve seen his ceiling. AHLer at best. I honestly can’t see this guy suddenly becoming good enough at this point in his career to be on a good NHL squad. I would rather have Guhle develop a bit more in Rochester. He certainly has the potential to be worth the wait. I appreciate your optimism for a playoff run though. I’ll personally just be glad to see decent hockey.

My BIL, wife’s sister’s husband, has a very proud Japanese mother. The experiences he has exposed me to have turned me in to a bit of a sushi snob. I’ll eat any sushi I can get but there is nothing like a hardcore Japanese restaurant. I’ve had sashimi so fresh that it’s still flexing on the plate. Thank God for cultural diversity.

You could write, you could think, you could have sex. You could leave your jewelry in a bowl beside the bed. Stare out the window down the lawn to the lake, for as long as it takes.

Mrs. iT and I have a bidet in our bathroom at the beach house. I have had the opportunity to try one before but never thought I was the bidet type. I was wrong. C’mon. Hot air to dry too?! I can’t go back to that old barbarism. Not now.

Got out of work a little early to get ready for beach week. We’ve got a beach house in Dewey Beach. Third year in a row in Delaware. Second year in a row at a private community. Really worth the extra to have a private beach. Loaded the motorcycle in the truck for the first time. The new ramp was sturdy and loading was a breeze. I’ve got everything set except for packing clothes but I’m going to the beach. I don’t think I’ll need much. I’m tempted to take advantage of the no helmet law in Delaware. I may ride around in only my swimsuit! I’m so pumped that I’m not even going to care that I’m eating leftovers on a Friday night.

If edible is a squishy stringy mess. Got to have a little green on the skin. I worked with a dude that ate them so ripe that he was squeezing them out of their skin like a gogurt. Sick bastard.

Like the first time NHLers? I agree. Excellent move but not one of us knows how this is going to go.

Dude your doing it all wrong. Hold the banana the other way with the stem down. Give the butt end a good hard pinch and another pinch at 90 degrees. It’ll pop right open and you don’t mash the end like you would wrestling with the stem end. That really sucks. I hate letting people go. Especially really nice people.

Not with the giant BJs jug. It’s set up with a spigot on the side. I have a couponing problem with that place. They do 25 cents off a gallon of gas with two required purchases. Usually paper towels and TP are on there and there’s always coupons for those. Filling up 30 gallons at $.25 savings adds up. My stores of paper towels and TP are robust which is also good. I used to think my grandma was crazy when I looked in her closet, but there’s a calming assurance that all is well when you’re stocked with paper goods for a year.

Mittelstadt! Yep. We are on our way to being good:

I’m crawling out of the woodwork for this one. I’m inspired all a sudden. 1. You’re paying Extra for the cheap brand. 2. I like your math. Expose their lies. 3. That was my method until I went crazy on BJs coupons. I always hated the measuring cup. I know how much I need. Who the #### wants to rinse a damn cup every time? The BJs jug is too big for that. I have a goal of mounting a shelf above the washer with a hose and clamp to dump at will. Someday.

Hey I'd like to daze away to aPlace no one has knownIn a state of mind I could call mineThat only I could ownWhere I could hum a tune anytimeI choose, and there’s no such thing as timeWhere I can feel no pain just calm and saneWhat a place for one to find

He missed a large chunk of time due to injury. He played well until then but I’m guessing the sample size was too small for that sort of commitment.

That is one painful looking rash. I’m guessing you were just pulling the kudzu by hand? Get yourself a couple of these. https://m.galeton.com/product/detail/safe-n-clean-grayguard-trade-disposable-coveralls-hood-elastic-wrists-ankles-each/12717-product/?set=FreeShip50&code=FREESHIP18&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_cC94s6f3AIVkYJpCh0t_AmIEAQYBCABEgIcOPD_BwE I have a supply. I carry a few of them in my truck. Cheap and easy.

I’ve been trying to figure out what this means. Maybe you could enlighten me?

I’ve been drinking Indian lemonade since I was a kid but I didn’t realize sumac had all of these health benefits https://www.lifetimedaily.com/health-benefits-of-sumac-spice/ I think I’ll harvest enough this year to make it a regular part of my diet.

I should add that regular sumac is a rhizome and the new growth springing up can be cooked and eaten like asparagus and is quite tasty.

The poison sumac plant looks similar to the regular sumac. The fruit looks very different though. Poison sumac grows cluster of white berries that sort of hang from the branches. Regular sumac grows drunes that stand tall on the branch. They are whitish early in the season but turn a burgundy color as summer progresses. North Buffalo is right about a drink being made from them. It’s called Indian lemonade up North. Late August the drunes develop a powdery coating that is very high I n ascorbic acid giving it a very sour taste. It’s used to make a drink and as a spice in cooking.

The BCA is an outdated relic. Anyone notice that there are very few non sporting events being held there anymore. The ceiling is too low to accommodate the rigging and sound requirements of most modern shows. How many tenants pay their rent? Amerks and? I hope city council realizes sooner than later that it needs to be sold to someone who has the funds to level it and build something modern enough to draw in enough shows to make money.
