We decided to rip up carpeting, ceramic tile, and linoleum in our living room, kitchen, and dining room and put down vinyl planks the whole way through. I severely underestimated what a dodint it is to tear up ceramic tile.

Education talk

I actually agree with the cursive part even though I don't think it needs to be state mandated. I've seen our district not teach it and there's a whole group of kids that can't sign their own name.

What a dumb idea. If this is a hill they're willing to die on, then they should just require players to be there and standing. If they don't, then they can't play (suspended for that game). I would imagine not too many players would exercise that option.

Gregg Giannotti was there too. He was 6-10 I think and Fillipponi followed him.

We also found out when they popped out. I enjoyed how it pissed people off almost as much as finding out at the birth. Some folks got real surly that we didn’t find out I've heard this as well... my wife and I are planners, and she probably hates surprises more than any person on this earth, so if ...

My grocery store options are the worst. Walmart, Save-A-Lot, and a local discount store. Walmart wins by default. Martins is 30 mins away. Wegmans is 1 hour the other way.

My experience is that any store that has "Save" in it's name is not worth your time.

It annoys me that Mears yells "Robbed!" several times a game when a goalie makes a (sometimes relatively routine) save.

I would've thrown the ball on 2nd down. The clock stops either way with the 2 minute warning. Go for the first down and game over.

Gustavsson Is really really good Really good. Fast forward 4 years. Who is in net? Who SHOULD be in net? Who is the backup? Tough call.

Your organized sports as a kid?

Soccer - grades 2-6
Baseball - grades 3-4
Basketball - grades 4-9
Football - grades 7-12
Track - grades 7-12

I quit basketball after my freshman year then grew about a foot that off-season. Probably not the best choice in retrospect.

Twice a day during the week (in the morning and after I workout in the evening). Once a day on the weekends. There's no way I could go a day without showering.

Why do they have to kick the PAT? The offense should be allowed to defer if it's a walk-off score.

And Diggs really needs to start acting like he's freakin' done this before.
Has anyone been there before?

Watching the Wings feed tonite and I'm imagining this is what it would sound like if Statler and Waldorf called hockey games.
Statler: This Pens team isn't half bad.
Waldorf: Nope, they're all bad.

Anyone here have vinyl flooring? Seems like the perfect floor to put in my basement. I'm trying to figure out what (if any) type of underlayment to use with it.
