I diverted around and took a route through a sketchy area. Apparently the ballers were sleeping off their nightly intoxication because traffic was almost non-existent on those surface streets and I made it to work on time. Barely. That sounds sketchy for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we stay in last place, if hockey gets too popular it will be a weight on its back and the sport will suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does mess with the member image. And it makes @Doohickie look like he's really into rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it's more plain for all to see that @Doohickie is really into Wonder Woman and her surely to be banned outfit. I thank him for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank him for that. I follow Lynda Carter on Twitter. She seems like a genuinely nice person. There are a few celebrities I follow on Twitter and Facebook not so much because they're my favorite artists, but because they seem like nice people. Also include Danny Trejo, Dionne Warwick and Henry Winkler on that list. With all the excesses that you hear about in show business, it's nice to find out there are stars who live wholesome lives. And yeah, I kind of think Lynda is easy on the eyes. But that's not the point. On 8/26/2023 at 10:54 AM, shrader said: So you’re saying he’s not into rockets?

shrader Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 I love these scam emails I get saying that I used paypal to renew some anti-virus software. The email being sent to 106 other people at the same time really makes me think it's legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Well that was fun. Parked my car at the gas station so I could run inside. The second I step out of the car I realized that there was a mini swarm of hornets going after a spill on the ground. I have no idea how I got out of there unscathed because they were pretty much right up against the driver side door. When I got back to the car, they were also buzzing around the passenger side door. I managed to sneak back in and climb over to the driver side. The best part is that I told the woman inside and she told me that they know about them and they can't do anything because there's a fine for killing honey bees. She knew they weren't honey bees but still was not allowed to do anything. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking the lawsuit from an allergic person getting stung is probably way more costly than the honey bee fine. I hope no one parks there anymore today. They tend to be angry little Fers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to be angry little Fers. I have developed an allergy to bees/wasps/hornets later in life. I try to steer clear of them but they are present almost everywhere I go. I haven’t used my epipen and hope to never have to. It scared the heck out of me last year when one sting caused me to lose consciousness, after having been stung dozens of times over the course of my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I had a pretty pronounced reaction to my last wasp sting. My hand swelled up quite a bit and it started to go up my wrist. if it would have gone much further I would have gone to ER but then it slowed down and eventually receded.

Night Train Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 So the Nebraska womens volleyball team plays interstate Omaha at the football stadium and 92,003 show up. I guess the corn fields were cleared and there was nothing else to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the corn fields were cleared and there was nothing else to do. The event was relevant enough for you to post about it, even if you wanted to throw shade. I find it pretty cool that they put a volleyball court on the football field, held a match, and got 92,003 people to attend to set the world record for attendance at a women's sporting event. People were partying in the lots before the match, I am sure it was a cool atmosphere. I can only imagine the energy during the event. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/38294591/nebraska-volleyball-sets-world-record-attendance-women-sporting-event https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/volleyball/nebraska-volleyball-players-enter-stadium-via-tunnel-walk/video_ce11fabe-5243-5b96-8a7e-d52af526ff9d.html What an amazing opportunity for those women to experience an intro like football players get. 92,003 fans, regardless of whether they were only there to say they were there were exposed to a women's sport that routinely gets little fanfare. I don't see a negative in any of this... whether the corn fields were cleared or not. Oh.. and I'll add that my teenage daughter who plays volleyball found it pretty inspiring.

Night Train Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Actually I'm fine with it and was making a joke,which I do often. Cannot help if you took it to heart. I watch volleyball on BTN often. I attended a certain school in Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
