Sabres Fan in NS

The season kicks off in a few hours. Excited to see if Liverpool can finally end their string of being the brides maid and be the bride for the first time in what seems like forever. GO CANARIES!!

I remember that stuff from my High School days.

It's much easier now that we have eliminated the dreaded penny.

Sent you a beer. Now you only need 19 more. ?

Who the heck is VO?

My hockey career was eneded in the same way as Bobby Orr's. Of course, mind ended in High School. Who knows? I may have been the best Orr since Orr.

For the record, not that I really care what you heathen think, I am a very big tipper. (insert whatever thingie you think works best here)

How long have you known me? Did I have to look for that winkie thingie? And I know you are just playin'.

I don't think the owners are thinking this atol. They new this new GM had a very different vision for the team and they were told it was going to take 2 years to get to the real start of the building. I respect and understand what you are saying, but I can't see it happening.

Yup. I did not count this offseason. His first 2 he was mostly undoing stuff Murray did to get the team and roster to this offseason, where he is massaging the roster. 2 more offseason after this one and then the Sabres better be in the playoff that following season, unless it is undone by something out of the GM's control.

That must be your tip for the outstanding service.

To continue with the non-sleeping theme. Last night I fell into bed at 3:30 AM (ADT) and fell a sleep imediately, which is the best result of the 3 nights. Up and at it again at 6:00 AM (ADT). Monday ... finally drifted in and out at 4:30 after several restless hours of ferriting about. Up at 6:00 AM. Tuesday ... see Monday. MUST SLEEP!! GO SABRES!! +++++ Now onto more important matters ... Will keep @Brawndo and @North Buffalo in my prayers. It's almost Eid al Adha (Sunday will be day #1), so I tend to pray extra at the Eids.

I think this is a reasonable approach. Fans seem to think that JBOT has simply carried on where Murray had left off, which puts us heading into year 5 since drafting Eichsie. JBOT spent 2 offseasons undoing much of what Murray had done and getting to a starting point for what he envisioned the Sabres to be. IMO, JBOT will be safe for 2 more offseasons, unless there is a complete disaster that is not the result of injuries.

I upgraded one laptop from 7 to 10 when they that free upgrade thingie some time ago. It was a good laptop to start with, so there have been no big issues. It was running Windows 7 Professional, after all I do have hard earned letters (CPA) after my name, so that means something. Maybe that makes some difference. My other laptop came with Windows 10 Professional factory installed. It is a great machine with this wierd hickup yesterday. It finally finished the update some time ago and I reinstalled the tax software using my first download. So far, so good. In general, with the ever lowering cost of a decent computer, I say it is better to buy a new one than to upgrade the version of Windows on the darn things. The one that I upgraded from 7 to 10 is primarily for email and SabreSpace and my own business tracking software, with occasional client work, primarily using Excel. The one that came with Windows 10 installed is the primary client workhorse now with the bulk of accounting, tax and other junk done on it.

Woof!! Oh, that dead poet that I quoted is very well known. Anyway, @jsb, I think you are just playin'. As it turns out my memory is just a bit off. Man, what a poet. One of the greatest of all time, IMO.

I don't have an issue with Windows 10. I do like it and it works well. The problem I have is with Microsoft, especially an update taking 24 hours by the time it is all done. i know that the computer can be used during the download and installation part, but that only slows the process down even more. PEBKAM?

The line starts with ... 'the way things are going' then continues with ... 'anything can happen'. What a fantastic poet. Passed on to the next life way too young, as many do. Bonus if you know which poet.

I can't remember who it was, but a regular poster here and myself are big Windows 7 people. Is that you? Anyway, with end of support for 7 looming I have been reluctantly forced to migrate my office PCs to Windows 10. I just checked and this laptop is due for a massive Windows 10 update. This PC (Toshiba) I converted to 10 from 7. I also have an HP that has Windows 10 factory installed and it is in the process of running this massive update for 10. It has been downloading and installing and now configuring since about 7 PM last night. What a horror show. On top of that the HP, well Microsoft Security for 10, decided that it did not like the 2018 tax software that was installed and running beautifully since the end of 2017. Keep deleting the files to run it, as it seemed that a Trojan was attacking my PC through the software. What entire BS. I hate Microsoft!! I have a Toshiba running Windows 7 that will remain as a data base. I also have an old desktop that is running Windows XP (the only version that I really likes a lot) that is an office server, with no real Internet, although it needs to be 'connected' in order to be that server. I am not going to run this massive 10 update on this PC until I can't avoid it anymore and firgure what is happening with the HP. As a fall back I can use the 7 Toshiba to work on client taxes and such.

Correct. The kid from Cole Harbour, NS is still at the top of any list, IMO. And then a random 9 to fill in the blanks ... many to choose from, but no dastardly Bruins, or equally dastardly Flyers.

8. Skinny, the tooth and I would be under Marty's spell binding tales and we would not even get to say a word, which suits me fine when I am stuffing my snout. Yup.

I can't be the only that read dunk as drunk, eh?

What in blazes is up with this blasted and damned 'Updating Ribbon UI Controls ... Please wait' thingie in the middle of my screen that appears to be doing nothing atol?

Let me guess ... the top 10 by TR+-(TM)

Even though my favourite footballer since the last WC is Mohamed Salah I can't fully support a big name club. So, Norwich it is. MUST WIN!! GO CANARIES!!

Football season already? Where does the time go. Any key transfers during the summer? I can't even remember if the summer is a transfer window? I am fully on board with Liverpool, I think. Maybe it's time to team up with @Eleven and follow the little brightly coloured birdies from Norwich.
