Defenders win and will be playing Arlington in San Antonio for the XFL Championship. I notice the XFL has had better attendence than the USFL. I also suspect - unless there is a non-compete clause - several XFL players migrating to the USFL to finish out their season, unless they get signed to a NFL contract.

Vanity, all is vanity.

The old-line liberals are getting an education, aren't they?

You have to have some sort of rudder. Pick any one you like, I suspect they’d have more flaws than ours.

@jon-nyc said in Damn. 37 month streak broken.: Very faintly detected. Hopefully I’ll be negative by the morning. Tomorrow is day 15. Symptoms mostly resolved on day 3. I guess my immunosuppressants are working. [image: 1682884997072-img_7394.jpeg] Yep. Be glad they are...

Brought to you by people who sell flags, I'd wager.

My vet (pretty blonde gal) rides a white mule. The mule is also broke to harness and she'll hitch him up to a buggy occasionally. I keep picking at her about when she's finally going to start roping off of him...

Jeff Ireland. Jeff is the guy who runs the scouts and player personnel for the Saints. Remember his name. Mickey Loomis may have the longest tenure at GM in the NFL. He is also the GM of the NO Pelicans in the NBA. Lots of talk about Mickey going to Denver or throttling back to just the Pelicans. Either way, Ireland will be a GM in the next few years.

Zesus.

@George-K yeah, I was going to post that, but, thought...I'll wait for @jon-nyc ...

Bet it gets checked out and never returned.

They're greedy, though. Too many commercials. One they didn't mention was FreeVee. IMDB had started an ad supported streaming service that Amazon bought and added more content. At least the commercials seem to be a bit less. Another is YouTube. I think YT may have a couple of hundred (or more) movies streaming for free on its YouTube Movies channel. Not quite as many commercials as Tubi. And many of the individual channels on YT will have older content...But again, I've noticed more and longer ad breaks across the board.

@LuFins-Dad said in Refrigerate or no?: What about cakes with frosting? That’s the one Karla and I disagree with each other about. She always refrigerates cakes and I think it ruins them… It depends on the cake and frosting, but on the whole I agree with you.

Love ramen. Tonkatsu is probably my favorite. I think I've mentioned before that we have become pretty good at making it at home. My youngest daughter used to have a thing in high school called "Shoyu the Ramen". As for Cup of Noodles...instant ramen is so bad for you. I knew people in college who developed stomach problems from eating it too much.
