DirecTV NOW includes NBCSN, but I'll be honest that their product is a great concept that they cleared rolled out way before it was ready for prime time. It's been better in recent weeks, but I signed up in Dec. because of a sweet promo offer and the option to lock in pricing at $35/mo, and until fairly recently the service was straight up garbage... constant buffering, failed to even load sometimes, and "on demand" content was laughable because it was 1 month old. Still waiting for them to roll out a Roku channel that was originally promised in Q1 of 2017, too. But if they offer more promos to keep people from jumping ship, might be worth trying out (I'm keeping it right now just for the free HBO).

No shade here; I liked The Abyss, because it's not pretending to be something it isn't. Low-budget, B-grade horror movies are just fine by me! And Avatar was okay, but I just really don't see any reason for them to make sequels to it.

Agreed. Meh... wouldn't be the first movie to make a bunch of money off of suckers. Visually beautiful, but they lost me the second they named the rare element Unobtainium. :doh:

Don't rule out IBS, either; might not be it since often causes... let's just say more tangible issues, but not necessarily. I've got certain foods that just make my stomach feel like it's been twisted in knots and I feel nauseous for hours without ever getting sick, and for some people fatty foods are a big trigger. But could certainly be a gallbladder issue, too, so definitely get a doc's opinion to help figure out what's going on. Not lame at all... welcome aboard! Glad you adopted this band of misfits (and the Sabres, too). ;)

:blink: Whyinthehell are they making a second one, much less four? :wacko:

:lol: So very appropriate.

:lol: that meme is awesome, although your relation to it is not. :cry: I hope you can find something that helps... GI stuff is the worst, because it ruins your life but no one ever wants to hear about it. :(

:( I can't speak to the efficacy of her hypnotherapy program since I haven't tried it personally, but maybe worth a shot? http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/books/hypnoibs.asp

GOLD.

Maybe entirely too simple a solution, but have you tried probiotics? Lots of probiotic drinks out there to choose from (GoodBelly, Kefir, etc.), or supplements (although those are pricey). If it's something like IBS, this could help (gentle prebiotic soluble fiber supplement): https://www.amazon.com/Heathers-Tummy-Organic-Acacia-Senegal/dp/B0002ON8DU

iTlnSn, I hope your mother is doing better this week... I didn't think a blood sugar level of 27 was even possible to recover from. :( My super lame complaint: I can't keep up on the GMTM/DDB firing thread and manage to do work. D'oh.

Holy crap... I don't disagree with it, but I'm shocked it actually happened. Curious to see who comes in next...

That is definitely a great scene. And the last (?) line always feels very Clint Eastwood. ("Smile, you son of a *****!")

How is this the first time you've seen Jaws? :o Haven't seen Brick, but I really liked Looper.

Geez, and I couldn't get our professor to cancel class literally 30 min. after 9/11 happened...

Late catching up on this thread, but congrats, Blue and Flagg!

I'd call that a win! :)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

It's the wonderful time of year (in Denver) when I have the enviable dilemma of whether to bike, hike, snowshoe, or snowboard, all in the same weekend. :D

lol I'm glad it's safe for you and others to pass, but my goodness... I'd freak out if I saw one (let alone many) so close by! The signs around here warning of coyotes are enough to make me pedal a little faster when there's no one else around... I can't imagine actually seeing one.

Holy crap, JJ... add that to the list of reasons I'll never, ever live in Florida!! Yikes.

Still very sad I couldn't make this trip, but so happy that you guys had an awesome time and that the games were actually enjoyable for a change!! Safe travels back across the pond, MODO!

Still bummed I can't join the group this weekend. :( MODO -- if someone tells you they enjoy your fragrance, try not to be weirded out. ;) Contractors are the worst. I have a plumbing project I want to try and get done next week, and it's like pulling teeth getting these people to respond and get something scheduled. The one guy yesterday called my phone (I didn't answer), then immediately sent a text, then as I was reading the text called me again (I answered). Kind of obnoxious, but I figured at least he's motivated for the work. I told him I could text some pics of the shutoff valves that need to be replacing and he said yes and he could do a ballpark estimate from those. Sent the pics right after we got off the phone. Five hours later he sends an estimate that is very competitive. I text back to confirm details and to ask how long he thinks it would take and tell him if it can be done in a certain timeframe I'd like to schedule for next Wed. morning. That was at 9pm last night and I still haven't heard back. WTF?

That's so cool!
