I'm either tucked in bed or taking a yorkie out to do her business.  No shopping for me after dark.

Yes.

I have used the SH site for a minimum of 3 hours every day including weekends for over a year before they locked us out. I would definitely use a new site, but this is fine for now and just build slowly on it as more ex-sodaheads find us. Rome wasn't built in a day.

My appreciation for what we have now; it means so much to we ex-shodaheads.  We're trying to locate hundreds more to bring them here to this site.

Thanks again!!

I eat hamburgers with knife and fork sometimes. And do it pretty often with pizza.

Yeah actually, but would then rather have a stuffed animal who was like that.

Tough one.  I can't narrow it down to one thing that I like.  I love the sound of baseball and an announcers voice after a long Winter.....it's like smelling the grass the first time I mow it, but......I like football much better.  I love Olympic Track  & Field, and in the Winter, Olympic cross country skiing and the Biatholon, which rivets me.

What do I dislike?  Flippin' golf......golf and tennis.......golf, tennis, and tiddledywinks

And remember.....it takes leather balls to play rugby.

Deflategate

Joe Montana: Deflate-gate 'no big deal,' his 49ers used illegal silicone
By Frank Schwab
Shutdown Corner

I'm still not sure how the New England Patriots' misdemeanor in deflate-gate became a felony, but it happened.

Neither does Joe Montana.

The former San Francisco 49ers great seemed to laugh and shrug at the whole controversy involving the Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Mark Kaboly (h/t to Larry Brown Sports). Because his 49ers had their own methods of skirting the rules. Like most other teams.

"Everybody is trying to do something different," Montana said. "Our offensive linemen used to spray silicone on their shirts until they got caught. Once you get caught, you get caught. Period. It doesn't take anything away from Tom's game. But how long has he been doing it? I don't know."

Well between the silicone admission and Jerry Rice's admission he used stickum, those championships need an asterisk, right? Rice and Montana and all the great 49ers need their legacies downgraded, correct? No, of course not. Nobody would or should think that. And it's just as mindless to say that as it is to say the Patriots and Brady should have championships vacated and their accomplishments are tainted.

Even if Brady had some role in deflate-gate (and even though Ted Wells was paid millions of dollars and took more than three months to investigate, he never found what that role might be), it's still not what amounts to an NFL felony. Yes, I know folks like being outraged in this era. And people like to hate the Patriots. But let's let Montana be the voice of reason here.

"It is one of those things that is a rule, right?" Montana said. "It might be a dumb rule, but it doesn't matter. He didn't deflate them himself, but you can pick up the ball and can tell if it is underinflated, overinflated or what you like. Everybody is afraid to say it, but if the guy did it, so what. Just pay up and move on. It's no big deal."

The problem with paying up and moving on is that commissioner Roger Goodell decided to pander to the public with the excessive punishments, including a four-game suspension for Brady, rather than take an honest look at the evidence and the crime. So Brady is fighting it. And he's unlikely to get a fair shake because Goodell refused to let an independent arbitrator oversee the appeal. Goodell and the NFL can't afford an embarrassing loss in that appeal, and it's very likely an impartial set of eyes would see all the holes in the very thin amount of evidence Wells collected. So Goodell decided to make sure he can't lose.

But whatever ultimately comes out of this, most rational people understand this is the NFL's equivalent of turning right on red when you're not supposed to. No big deal, as Joe Montana said.

I can only speak for myself, but, polls aren't overly important to me.  My 2 cents would include building right now on what's here, then doing the other bells & whistles a lil' later as time & request dictates.
As with everything else, mileages vary.

Re: Can you judge a person by their handshake?

from Freeranger on 06/08/2015 09:27 PM

Ever notice a politican's handshake?  They limply take your hand, but are looking over your shoulder to the next opportunity.  My dad always said to look someone squarely in the eye when you take their hand, then shake it like you're earnest.....
