I feel for these guys. I'm sure most of them joined this league as a last attempt to make it in the NFL. Sadly the owners know that and will exploit the shit out of them for it. It's the same stuff you see in minor league baseball.

Low pay means most players need an off-season job. Of course it would have to be a job that allows them to take 3-4 months off a year. Plus they have travel expenses. And not to mention putting their bodies on the line for this shot. It's not like college ball where at least they are getting an education. These guys are putting their lively hood on the line for $50,000. They deserve better assurances.

I love the joke, and I also love her.

She is the sweetest person I've met at a convention. I was pretty starstruck meeting her, so of course my brain just turned off, and she was so kind and told me a couple of stories. When my brain finally rebooted, I asked her to sign the picture for my wife, and she came around the table to give me a hug telling me how sweet that was. She could have just signed a picture and sent me on my way. But her taking that extra 30 seconds or so gave me an experience I'll never forget.

I can't believe that's the reasoning he went with. It does take skill,. especially from the line. They have to get low and engage the defenders just right in a rugby style scrum. It's not automatic. Just look at Philly early in the season when they struggled more with it because Kelce wasn't under center.

I wonder if they got access because some 19 year old is going around installing backdoors into government systems.

That stuff scares me after hearing about people getting brain eating amoebas from it. Of course that was like one person using tap water in a rural area, but it is still enough to make me not want to try it.

Social Distortion is my all time favorite band. I highly recommend seeing them live. I saw them for the fifth time last year and they still put on a great show.

Even if someone does, Stephen seems just as incompetent as Jerry

Just a little graphite and they are working like they're brand new again.

The road behind my house is lined with bradford pear trees. Their leaves are so big that my pool vacuum cannot suck them up. So once they start falling I need to go out every night and get out what I can with a net and a special leaf vacuum. We had strom come through this week and thankfully the winds knocked the remaining leaves out of the trees. It took an hour and a half but I got every last one out of my pool. Now I can relax until the spring when they sprout and drop their flowers.

As a life long Superman fan, who grew up on Christopher Reeve, I've been on the fence about this movie but I think this trailer has sold me.

spoilerFuck yeah, Krypto!

 
 

Giants 3 touchdowns, 1 failed PAT, 2 failed 2 point conversions

Washington 7 field goals

Seriously one of the strangest score summaries I've seen.

I think I'm ready to give vegan a try, but I'm struggling with breakfast ideas. Mostly I'd meal prep egg and bacon burritos or just have some toast with jam.

I used to be a cereal person but after having my gallbladder removed I developed an intolerance to lactose. And I haven't found any good alternatives for milk or cheese that I like, so I've basically cut them out of my diet. Plus most cereal is loaded with sugar, and...

I found out yesterday that I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is a little high. So, I'm trying to move away from animal products and sugar.

I will occasionally have toast with peanut butter and banana on it, but that's so calorie dense, I only eat it on days I know I'll be doing a lot of physical activities. Most days I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours.

So really the only other thing I can think of is oatmeal. And eating a bowl full of something hot is the last thing I want to do after my morning walk. I'm in Texas so it's hot even when I go out at 5 AM.

I'm looking for ideas that can, preferably, be meal prepped or take less than 5 minutes to make. But I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!

We had some insane wind up here in Denton. Trees down, lots of power outages.
