Things that are AWESOME...

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Count me in. Will be hoping for the best outcome possible. Please provide any updates if you feel comfortable doing so. I don't think anyone would mind using the awesome thread for that.

 

I just reviewed the Complaint Thursday thread to see what you were talking about. Prayers are with you.

 

Thanks to both of you.

 

Will keep everyone posted.

 

Nothing new today, so far. Taking it one minute / hour / day at a time right now.

Dan Post cowboy boots.

 

Four years ago I found myself looking for a pair of boots to wear that were stylish but that I could wear during the winter. I didn't want anything showy, just practical and comfortable.

 

Circle B Western Wear in Brockport sold me on a pair of Albuquerques. Waterproof and with a treaded non-slip sole.

I've never been so satisfied with a piece of footwear. I hope I can get another four years out of them. Awesome.

Can confirm.

 

Have a pair as well. They're women's sized, of course, but that's worthy of note too- they make good looking, classic, strong boots in a women's size without feeling the need to put rhinestones, crazy colors, or extensive decorative tooling on them.

Mine are brown and covered in mud and horse ######. Best 170 bucks I've ever spent. Good for hiking, working, and stomping around town.

 

And the little old lady working at the place mentioned above is amazing. She's from Britain originally and loves cartoons. Told me all about the days she'd pay a nickel on a hot summer afternoon to watch old school cartoons.

To each his/her own but I hate cowboy boots. Unless you're riding a horse you shouldn't be wearing them.

I used to think this way then I put a pair on. The elevated heel really takes stress off of my bad knee and they're much more comfortable for daily use than heavy winter boots.

 

I liked this model because of how understated they are. I don't feel like some fake country douchebag in them.

haha see, I wear them when I am riding horses! Or mucking horses. etc. But yeah, I did wear them outside of that, too. There's nothing fancy about these boots. They're work boots. Carter's are fancier than mine because they're black and shiny. Mine are dark brown and kinda suede.

Thanks for the kind words and good wishes guys and gals.

 

Very much appreciate it.

Same here, I'll echo Eleven's sentiment NS, hope everything turns out well.

don't move south. I'll see at least 50 pairs of cowboy boots when I go out tonight

But awesome.

All I have to do is drive 5 minutes up the road to a "country" bar called The Roost. Where I can watch a bunch of "country" boys and girls dance to "country" music in their boots that have never seen a lick of work. Because they're so "country".

This trend is really starting to annoy the piss out of me. f I have to hear Florida Georgia Line one more time at work... :wallbash:

The proliferation of pop country is the bane of my existence. I like country music. REAL country music. That is about more than just beer and trucks. But apparently country living is only about beer and trucks these days.

I grew up listening to George Strait. I have a lot of family who still live in Tennessee with hogs and horses, and am only one generation removed from farming folk. My home is the proud town of the National Tractor Pull Championships and my first beer was on the back of a pickup truck in the mud ring watching a combine derby after a demo derby at the fair while dudes in Wranglers spat chew and argued Chevy v Ford.

I don't consider myself the least bit country compared to those kids I knew, but damned if I'm not more dirt road than the girls I know in the jean miniskirts, white tanks and high heeled cowboy boots with fringe hollering about being Country Girls. Argh.

 

Plus most the "country" music these days sucks. :sick:

 

ooh that got a little ranty.

Girls wear short dresses with cowboy boots here in Nashville. I'm definitely a fan. But, It'd be a cold day in hell before I ever wore cowboy boots... Doc Martens are more my style.

[Taro T]

Thanks to both of you.

 

Will keep everyone posted.

NS,

Will say a prayer for you and her.

Completely agree, I will never own cowboy boots unless they are red... because I could pull them off.

[LGR4GM]

I've never watched it, though I know a little bit.

 

I did enjoy Dragon-Ball Z Abridged though, that was pretty funny

This has been wasting much of my time... it is ridiculously well done and hilarious.

Me too.

 

It will be alright.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Thanks everyone for your kindness and prayers.

 

Being Friday I made time to spend a little extra time in prayer at the mosque today.

 

I truly believe that it helps.

 

Oh, dogs (and cats and ...) are awesome too.

 

Things are going pretty well today. With chronic neurological issues it's tough to really know when they flare up if it's a bit different incarnation of the usual issues, or something new. It's all very scary when it's been going on for some time and no one can get a handle on it.

 

On top of everything else my wife was summoned to jury duty. Had to go through some red tape, but she was excused.

 

Sorry, that it's not Thursday.

 

So, the main point of my post is, again, to tell you all that you are awesome. Thanks for being awesome.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Scoring your first goal, in overtime, to send your team to victory in game 5 of your semi final series.

 

GO MOOSEHEADS!!

praying that everything gets better NS. I've been out of town the last 5 or 6 days, otherwise I would've given some well wishes and prayers sooner!!

I know there's a couple other fans of his on this forum, so in case you hadn't heard, Dan Carlin has put up the third part of his latest Hardcore History podcast subject, Blueprint for Armageddon, which is his take on WWI.

 

I'm listening now, it's typical Carlin goodness. If you have an interest in history and haven't ever listened to his work, give it a shot. My favorites of his works are Wrath of the Khans ( a series), which is about Genghis Khan and crew, and Ghosts of the Ostfront, about the Russian front in WWII. The Ostfront series isn't on the site anymore, you have to buy it in the archives, but it's cheap and well worth it.

I've enjoyed some of his stuff. He does seem to rely a little too heavily on Jared Diamond for my tastes....but i could be watching TMZ or something.

A few years ago he did something on the Selucids that I found very interesting.

Yeah. Some of his views rankle me a bit here and there, especially on his Common Sense podcasts, so I don't take his words as gospel, but he has a vast detailed knowledge on the subjects he tackles that I find both impressive and educational.

 

I value the way he puts a modern/tangible face on ancient battles/peoples. Imagining the Barbarians as a biker gang in attitude and style? Works for me! The series on the fall of Rome would get very confusing for me, listening while working, if he didn't help illustrate this Scipio from that Scipio, and all these big famous names that were actually contemporaries.

 

Between his stuff, I listen to all the Stuff You Missed in History Class podcasts- they're good at introducing a subject to me so that I'll get super curious and go do my own research.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Thanks again everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.

 

It's looking more and more like the latest episode is another manifestation of my wife's chronic neurological issues. Which is, strangely enough, a good thing, in the sense that it is likely not something new.

 

WildCard, best wishes concerning your father. My wife's neuro issues are very similar to MS, but she has not been diagnosed. So, the docs are pretty much scratching their collective heads as to what to call it. No matter what you want to call it the result is ... pretty much complete disability.

 

We will soldier on together, as we have been. Both our families (except for one cousin and his family) and many friends "disowned" us when we started going to Bosnia to help those "damn Muslims" (even though we help everyone over there, regardless of religion) and especially when we embraced Islam. Oh, well ... no great loss, as we did not see eye to eye on most things. We are all we have plus a few exceptionally great newish friends ... our families of choice.

 

Yesterday we executed updated Wills, POAs and "Living Wills". We were in the process of doing so, as we update every 5 years. I encourage everyone to make sure all your paperwork is in order and your ducks are in a row, as you never know what might happen.

 

Again, you guys and gals are all awesome. Even though I have never met any members, I feel we all have each others back. It's an awesome feeling and is very much appreciated.
