Didn't surprise me at all with NBC. At least I don't think they are trying to put it over as "live" anymore.

I heard Bob Costas in an interview a couple of month ago saying it would be impossible and impractical to show it live in the US. I had to chuckle thinking it was funny that in Canada we always are able to see live events and we are geographical in a pretty similar location. It also made me remember that Bob Costas is an idiot (sort of like our very own Brian Williams). Will NBC's coverage include Chris Collinsworth (or NBC idiot #2 as I call him)?

You pretty much said it there. Not a big fan of NBC sports' coverage of anything.
 
my DD and I got a birdhouse to paint today and she made me so proud she painted Jack Skellington on the back, and of course my cars in the shop getting tires & brakes when AirGoofy is in town, hopefully we can still meet up with him and his family before they leave.

Hurry. The Visa card is on fire. It was a last minute idea,and sorry, I was in RFC in the storm when you called earlier. If we can't today, then we'll try another time. Call or text me if you have a chance.

This morning's soccer game ended in a 4 - 4 draw. About to head out for game #2.

Better than a loss.

Collonsworth is terrible. He's the best receiver,best catch of the year, best whatever - he just stinks. Costas has some moments where he is good, but he thinks way too highly of himself.

This is a post I made on FB today. This post pretty much is similar to me being here on the Dis. Back in 07 I joined the DDC and met you guys in here. Over the years some of us have grown to be friends. We have laughed in here,gotten mad in here and even cried (this will be a tough one for some to admit).I consider the DDC one big family.A big Family that I am proud to say I am a part of !! Heres to many more years of the Family

I know this wasnt fancy but maye for my 3000 I will say more

Great speech.

It's actually Red.
!

My eyes or computer is out of whack. Must be computer.

‘I have considered that likelihood.
Unfortunately we have reached one of those points where all we can do is trust that we raised him right. It's up to him now to either prove us right or wrong.
.

You raised him right, just like my parents raised me right. Unfortunately, I fell prey to circumstances - that liquid courage did wonders for my dating life. That, and i truly like the taste of beer.
 
Lunch at RFC in Nashville today followed by shopping at Opry Mills Mall. Drank 40 ounces of Yuengling draft. A great lunch. Family split their combo appetizer and volcano dessert. Enjoyed coconut shrimp as entree.

So far, I have a new pair of crocs, bought lots of stuff at Disney Outlet, DW has new swimsuit, and she's now shopping Vero Bradley. Ahhhhhhhhh! Where's the extraction team.

Excellent post. Here here!
 
Just saw this on the budget board.

Groupon Orlando Discount on Parasailing @ the Contemporary

•$57 for a single-passenger parasailing flight (a $95 value)
•$102 for a tandem-passenger parasailing flight (a $170 value)


Just in case anyone is interested.

I'd call to check availability for when you'd want to use it before purchasing.

Happy Anniversary to you both! Hope you have another 22 years of marital bliss!!

Second game, same result.

I hate any former player that becomes an announcers and acts as if they were the best player ever. Collinworsth is one of those and so is Joe Morgan, can't stand listening to either of them.
 
I think that I need to take a trip to the mid-west. Rain seems to follow me this week.

I spent several days on mountain tops this week and was chased off of one due to storms coming our way.

Yesterday, we had a big storm at home that tore up more trees and cut the power for six hours (some of you may remember that I was without power for six days just a few weeks ago). This was going as we were trying to pack and get a few other things done. :sad2:

Today, we get to the beach and a large thunderstorm rolls through. Got some wind, LOTS of lightning, and heavy downpours. :scared:

Good news is that this storm is supposed to lower the temperature and stay in the 80's all week. :woohoo:
 
Saw this shirt today at target amongst a rack of Disney Artist Collection T-shirts...

I think the price was about $12. The dancing skeleton shirt was cool too.

The Dole Whip T-Shirt and now this. Anybody else feel like we're being stalked? :tiptoe:

8,036 days ago I married the one women who stole my heart.Over the years she no longer had to steal it,as I have given it to her freely. I would be lying if I came on here and said that the last 22yrs (for those of you that could not do the math ) have all been a bed of roses. There have been some good yrs and some bad yrs. But I can say that if I could go back in time, I would choose to marry my lovely wife all over again.I have spent over half my life with you and hope to finish out my life with you. I love you Debbie Apsche Finsel !! Happy Anniversary.

Well said, Carl! Can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to our trip!

When are you headed out? We're also headed down to the beach this weekend (Outer Banks) for the week.

Fine words sir.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary.



You raised him right, just like my parents raised me right. Unfortunately, I fell prey to circumstances - that liquid courage did wonders for my dating life. That, and i truly like the taste of beer.

I’m certain that at some point he’ll partake.
If it doesn’t become his purpose… I can live with that.

I was 23 before I learned to drink. I still do so... but sparingly.
If Max waits until 21… that will be a victory.
Honestly, I find the 21-year drinking age to be supremely hypocritical, but so long as the law stands, it should be adhered to.

Are we being stalked, or are they simply learning from us?

A lot of folks seem to be heading toward the coast in the near.
We are leaving for Garden City on the SC coast this Thursday evening as well.
Here’s a hope for decent weather and time well spent with those we love.


Good evening Gents.
 
Enjoy! Its a good one!

My dad gave me my first drink - a gin & tonic. Hated it. I was is middle school. In 7th or 8th grade, I had my first taste of beer - loved it. But, my family distilled it (legally and not so much) and even has a couple recipes for it.

I do agree with the 21 law being a bad idea - you're considered 18 as an adult to buy cigarettes and fight for your country and pay your taxes, but not drink alcohol.

Tom Jackson, when he first appeared on NFL Primetime, when it was just him and Chris Berman was my favorite former player turned announcer. Yes, he did play for a KY school (UL), but I didn't think he made the show about him. Once they added the rest of them, it just started going down hill.

I have never been stalked. I always wanted a stalker like Charlie Sheen had on that tv show.

Sorry we missed you today. It was one of those last minute trips to start DW's staycation. We had a fun day, but would have liked to meet up with you and your bunch. If we don't get to before, then we will look forward to MNSSHP in October.
 
The Dark Knight Rises was intense, a really good story. And, I won't do a spoiler post, but at the end, I remember reading it in th comic book but I still didn't put it together. But, that's the way I am at a movie - just lose myself in it.

I definitely think the the movie needed more shots of Catwoman in that outfit riding the motorcycle. popcorn::
