  3. How would you line them up?

    I personally don't think that is the key at all to playoffs. The key is getting even average NHL goaltending. 

    I think Lyon and UPL might be good enough... but they would both have to trend better than they've been in the past.  I think they can but not sure if they will.

    There is ONE worst move.  There are not ten.  The move was naming Eichel captain instead of O'Reilly.  Everything else, even including goaltending, flows from that.

    Once seasoned hockey players saw that the team was in the hands of a immature kid, it was over.

    slightly modified it for you.

    I think Eich is a more complete person now than he was back then.

    The only thing I can come up with is that my brother had an infiniti and my wife had a nissan.  They're the same company.  For whatever reason infiniti didn't have his address, so they looked up shrader in the database and pulled my address.  If that's the case, that's really dumb.  There's going to be a ton of name overlap out there for the Smiths of the world.

    The database is only as good as the integrity of the data.

    I caved and called back. Fighting all my biggest urges, I politely asked her to lose my number. So the harassment angle is the next approach if I get even one more call. 
     

    I love how they can get my number but not his. It always amazes me how these contact databases get all messed up. I routinely get mail from infiniti (or one of the car companies, forget which one) at my home address for my other brother. He never lived in this state, yet they somehow put his name on my address. 

    Databases are weird. 

    I just ordered something from a company that I made another purchase from ten years ago, when I lived at another address.  I forgot I ever worked with them before.  I filled out my billing address and delivery address and when they shipped the item, instead of using what was newly entered in my profile, they sent it to my old address.

    Interestingly the person who lives at my old address had enough initiative to return the item to sender.  It arrived there (Orchard Park, btw, four miles from my mom's house) Monday.

    I sent them emails and called them and hopefully they'll send it to the right address now.

    I have a collection agency or something calling me 3 times a month to get my brother's contact info.  How do I stop them?

     

    ...without giving them that information, obviously

    Threaten them with a harassment lawsuit?

    I noticed there was a truck from the Water Department parked out in front of the house. There was a guy working on the water meter. I walked over and asked him what was going on, and he said he was replacing our electronic water meter. Apparently it hasn't been reading correctly since last December, so our water bill was WAY down. The guy from the Water Department said they wouldn't try to back bill or anything since it's on them to make sure the equipment is functioning properly.

    The bad news is we'll be paying our fair share again.

    It took me a few days to adjust.  I'm still learning (just got the car at the end of June and spent a week after that out of town), but I'm figuring it out.  

    My dealer actually sets up appointments for a week or two after delivery of a car to go over all the stuff it does and give the new owner to ask how to do things he hor she can't figure out.  My appointment is Friday.

    I've got it mostly figured out, but for the media selection there is a horizontal list of all the options that's wider than the screen.  I'd like AM, FM, Andriod Auto (which jumps to Pandora on my phone) and USB (CD Player) together.  Instead, USB is at the other end of the list and I can't switch between Pandora and USB without scrolling horizontally.  I need to see if there's a way to edit or rearranged those options.  I'm not going to renew SiriusXM when the trial ends so I'd like to push that off to the end instead and move USB closer to AM/FM/Pandora.

    Maybe there's a way to do that and I will find out how Friday.

    By the way, if anyone is interested in adding a USB CD player to their car, this is the one I got.  It's plug and play in my car just by plugging it into the USB A port, and the cord is long enough to put the player out of sight in the glove box.  So far it hasn't skipped even when going over nasty train tracks.

    I just bought a new 2025 car. I still can’t figure out how to fully operate the radio and sites associated with the onboard computer. Can’t they simply design basic cars for us archaic people??!!  These freaking gadgets make me more grouchy than I usually am.
