Doohickie

I was going to say the same without such a concrete example, but that basically if we're lucky, we'll be that old person some day. None of us looks forward to being in the care of others but rather picture ourselves as still living and operating independently. To think you're not going to have a drop off in cognitive performance or speed is just hubris. Cut the older people some slack. I will admit that I get impatient in stores but I try to hold it inside as much as I can; it's the old, "You never know what someone else is going through" thing.

If they're that far away I just assume they're not. If they are in line, they'll let you know. ...but in the fast food example, it could be a line of people who have already ordered and are waiting for their food.

Actually there's been a spate of bomb threats/active shooter reports/both together lately. One night a week or two ago, a mall near me was evacuated when people started calling in that there were gun shots. At virtually the same time, similar reports were called in about a Walmart about 30 miles away, and other shopping center about 40 miles away. I think there was probably some social media prank thing urging teens to call in reports on that night. ...or we could talk about my bunions.

Ah, Agent Cooper!

I haven't noticed it around here (Texas). It's usually a coupla feet, if that.

Actually, while I think Quinn will turn out to be the better player over the long term, I think Casey is the better second-line winger right now. I wouldn't expect a drop off with Mitts, I'd expect an improvement (possibly from standpoint of lower goals against than an increase in points).

West Seneca. Where else can you have lunch at Applebee's and follow it up with a donut from Paula's?

One of the greatest to play the position, Nick Lidstrom, was never particularly physical but was pretty amazing defensively.

I'm not voting because really it's too early to say. We've barely gotten a glimpse of Power's play and Dahlin took several years to get to the level of play we're seeing from him now. Define "best hair."

I've been to several Sabres-Stars games in Dallas and let me tell ya, when they play the Pantera goal song it is utterly demoralizing to the enemy (and any of their fans in attendance). I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous of the Stars for that. It's a great goal song with a great back story. When Dimebag Darrell of Pantera passed away in 2004, I was shocked in that nearly EVERY musician friend I know (from band members, to Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, to music teachers) had a story about a personal encounter with him and no one had a bad word to say about him. Total class guy, and a total backer of the arts locally in all kinds of ways.

Cameras are very small these days; could probably install one using a 1/8" hole or smaller.

"SHG: The ULTIMATE penalty killer!" Basically, a like free kick in soccer.

Going through the ones I posted I think Can You Hear Me Knocking would be the on I'd actually use.

Any of these would suit me fine. I have each one cued up to where they should start after the goal.

Eh. I don't like it.

WOMP WOMP. You are absolutely correct. 😄

Nope. His college days are done.

What great lake is Montreal on? Ottawa? A better name would be the St. Lawrence Division since the Great Lakes dump into the St. Lawrence Seaway.

You ever watch NLL?

Just get your first row straight and use spacers between tiles and... don't sweat it if they're off just a bit; you'll be the only one to notice.

Yeah, driveways are freakin' expensive. For a rank amateur (first time doing wall tile) I'm pretty happy with the way the tile came out, especially the grout and caulk lines.

My wife bought a package of the Broadway shows coming through Fort Worth playing at Bass Hall, so there will be more. Luckily my daughter-in-law and her friend will be taking the tickets for Frozen; no desire to see that.
