  1. there are so many that i can think of off the top of my head. sixth sense, odd thomas, but the one that surprised me more than any was The Others. 

     

    on the others i thought the whole movie was pretty boring, it had some good scenes, but overall was just OK...until the end

     

     

  2. Minnesota is a team that is consistently in the mix to just make the playoffs. they have a couple of terrible contracts that are holding them back. 

    I hope kaprizov stays there because he is a big star for them but i dislike the demands thing. I dont see them having room on the cap for a true #1 center salary

    Can you explain why you think this is "silly"?

    Dated 29 June 

    The title of the article is mixing the vaccines are better, but in reality it's just the pfizer is more effective than the AstraZeneca. 

    Just seems silly to me to write an article about mixing, when in reality one is better. If you get to choose, who would pick mixing when one is better. If you dont get to choose, it doesn't really matter because you are getting what you get

  4. I think this might be one of the silliest articles I've read

    It says getting Pfizer vaccine as your second shot where astra zenica being the first is better than 2 of the AstraZeneca. then it says that 2 pfizer is better than the mixing of the vaccine. 

    Essentially saying Pfizer is better than AstraZeneca. 

    My days of clicking on covid articles are coming to an end now

    Normal yes.  So, let's say my child is 100% steadfast against being vaccinated. As a parent what do I do?  Do I FORCE them to be vaccinated and then deal with the fallout of how i have "ruined" their life?  When I try to get them in the car for the shot and they refuse, what do I do?  Do I use excessive force to get them in the car?  Do I constrain them?  If I get them to a vaccination site and they refuse to cooperate then what happens?

    My point is not about rights, I know I have the right to decide.  But reasonably, my child has the ability to act against my right.  Given some of the conversation I have heard going around my 14 year old daughter's social circles... I really only expect it to be a matter of time before there's some legal case over it. I've already seen one child runaway from her parents because they decided to move her to a Catholic school so she wouldn't hang around a group of friends who supported "non-straight" relationships.  They thought their daughter was being ruined by their beliefs.  The girl didn't get far.  She's threatened suicide.

    These things happen.  As a parent you have to balance that with what you believe is best for the child.

    ----------

    Stepped away after I posted this and I wanted to add more.

    Right now we are also dealing with a few families who are against the vaccination.  They won't let their children get it despite the child wanting it. There are some parents who don't want those children around the group any longer.  For the moment it's creating quite a stir.  I've no idea where that will go but the odds are probably not in favor of a amicable outcome.

    So you couple things like that with the crap these kids get into online (not going to debate online access, that's another topic).  Not just the ideologies that are shared but a lot of influencing on what their behaviors should be like in response to certain social issues.  When Alabama was first in the news about blocking gender assignment treatment for minors regardless of parental permission there were a few people in my daughter's social circles that began to go on about getting rides to Alabama to protest.  Rides from people who were offering to pick them up and drive them there to protest. As a parent, that's some downright crazy stuff to know about.

    Those days and these days are nothing alike.  These days your child communicates with people from all over the world, instantly.  In your days your social circle was largely limited to your school and any organizations you were part of that were outside your community.  We see the ideologies that are spread within adult communities but its not just adult communities.

    I could go on with some of the things that I have seen.  For the most part you want to chalk it up to kids' just blowing off steam or venting. But you know, there's those moments when a kid rolls into a school and starts shooting.  Those stick in your head and you can't just ignore it.

     

    i guess i will age myself here. if this took place when i was a kid, there would have been a statement of get in the car and shut it. i would have gotten in the car and shut it...because if i didnt, it would have been much worse than any side effect i could dream of

    Ha!

    But really, for those still wondering how the new franchise could allow this: The Seattle franchise didn't make that Krak House shirt -- some enterprising "26 Shirts" type of outfit did. 

     

    i dont think the franchise is making this, but its amazing how awesome it is

  7. the nj governor made a comment that i think is amazing.  I cant find the exact quote, but it was mostly like this

     

    For the vaccinated, the pandemic is over....This is becoming, increasingly by the day, a pandemic of unvaccinated individuals.

     

  8. I will add about 10 years ago we did this vacation thing similar to this and afterwards our sister in law complained that we spent too much time swimming in the lake and not enough family time talking. The vacation was not how she wanted it 

     

    I think maybe she didn't spend enough time swimming and maybe she should have made more of an effort to spend the time with us. It was 100 degrees and the ac in the house was terrible. Of course we are going to swim just to stay cool

  9. My wife and I had a very interesting conversation this morning. Her cousin emailed her and all of her siblings and their families to see about everyone having a giant group vacation in the south this year. 

    Basically like a huge family vacation, including spouses/children, boyfriends/girlfriends etc. 

     

    My wife and I were talking about this and neither of us want to go to this and declined the invitation. My wife gets 2 weeks vacation per year and wants to do a vacation with just her and me (we dont have children)

    I didnt want to go because i generally hate almost everyone in her entire family and having to do a vacation with them seems more like hell than a vacation. However, it got me thinking, would i want to do this if it was my family and not hers?  I thought about it and realized, i would not want to do this at all. 

    If we are on vacation, we want to be able to do what we want, not what everyone else wants. In fact, we realized that even during holidays we dont really want to see anyone either. I always say when my mother dies, i would never see anyone from my family again.

    my wife thinks this is abnormal to not want to spend time with family, i think its normal. Do you guys enjoy spending time with extended family?  would you want to go to a big group family vacation. the thought of it makes me cringe

  10. When hasek played you knew if the sabres scored 2, they were going to win. He carried that team, no doubt 

    I saw on a show that he did not know he was drafted for a couple weeks after.

  11. Nj looks like its at 63% of people have 1 vaccine and 53% have 2. 

    We have about 200 people a day in the state test positive. we were at 4000 per day in March. 

     

    Im not wearing a mask unless required. However I dont go a lot of places. Im fully vaccinated since march 26

  12. I dont understand why they just dont put skinner back on jacks line where he hmgot his points. we get it, he is not the playmaker his salary commands, but shoving him on a line or sitting him makes 0 sense

     

    If they trade them both, Seattle will put them together and look brilliant
