me too

This was also my first game.  My badger fan husband was so miserable but didn't ask to leave early.  He's a keeper.

Sweetness

Logged in just to upvote the Sweetness reference.  I was given drumsticks on friday that played that live, one is nearly snapped in two and you made me happy again thinking about it.

at mcdonalds I love to get a hash brown and smear it with strawberry jelly

Thanks for sharing.  How much longer do I have to wait?

damn

RIP Chad...

 

I just made a donation to the Chad Tough Foundation.  I hope everyone can join me in that, maybe we can fund some research to save a kid in the future.

mn

Maybe my memory is hazy, but I think the Minnesota game was tagged for night only a few weeks prior.

drinking thread

Jim Beam Maple - purchased as my td shot in honor of harbaugh and his love of cracker barrel which makes me think of maple syrup and pancakes. 

I've seen positve tweets towards Blake to lift him him up, let's all focus on that.  Kid feels bad enough without assholes piling on I'm sure.  Team game, team loss. 

OUCH

Having had a first row seat to my boys fusion recovery following a burst fracture I'm feeling for you.  I hope this operation can help you find some pain free days.  How many levels do you have fused?  I would say enjoy the meds but I know they don't even cut thru all the pain initially.  Serious good vibes being sent your way!

 

I'm drinking parrot bay and diet coke and trying to take it easy cause I work tomorrow.

Tortilla Land

http://www.tortillaland.com/

Tortilla Land tortillas have been a game changer for me.  They are raw and cook in a few seconds in a skillet.  They are truly amazing.  Use the store locator and thank me later.  I found them from a post on SeriousEats from Kenji who seems to know all things food.

NERDS

Just FYI, if you follow Brandon Graham on twitter he sometimes recruits for his clan.  I don't recall the info but my son was able to get into BG clan.  He thinks thats pretty cool.  Figured anyone else on here might too.

yeah

It's a big giant usb keyboard that has barely ever been used because it feels cheap.  You have to pound the keys, it's noisy as can be and feels cheaply made with each stroke. 

The macbook is nearly five years old and has been used heavily.  I would much rather type on it, but hey, these things don't last forever.  It has endured much abuse. 

So yeah, I would call the one that feels like it came from the dollar store cheap.  Not saying pc cannot have nice keyboards.  Saying the one I had on hand is crap.

 

let it out

Grievance:  NCAA for shitty pot rules RE:Mitch McGary and I miss him so.  WIN THE GAME!

Also, apple for my mac keyboard/trackpad going out forcing me to type on a giant shitty cheap dell keyboard.

fridge

I know that feeling.  I fixed an ailing fridge and it was amazing.  And who would have thought a fridge needs a working heater!  The internet is so cool sometimes, letting you see videos to fix things and get parts cheap.

translation

I think he he says "Hey put this on worldstar"

FUCK CANCER

I lost my dad on the 10th of this month at age 63.  Cancer is a bitch.  I'm really not over watching him go, I was his primary caregiver and it broke my heart.  Much love for Hospice nurses (we did it in home), I would have freaked without their support.  Suck a bag of dicks cancer.

downside

The only real downside I can see to this is walk-ons.  Some of the best behind the scenes videos we get to see are when they are rewarded with a scholarship for years of hard work.  This system would not leave any room to award a vacant scholarship to someone already paying their own way. 

Alternative

Try to talk to her into trying an e-cig.  Its not perfect but you reduce a ton of chemicals and trade actual smoke for vapor.  It's not stinky and they have flavors that taste like tobacco or just about anything.  It has worked well for several family members of mine and they are stepping down the nicotine levels trying to eliminate the habit entirely.

FUCK CANCER!  My daddy is stage 4 esophogeal.  Fuck Cancer indeed!

woo

Anyone want to help me get enough points to be able to vote?  I'm mostly a lowly lurker :)

gifts

I like to get kitchen items.  I know some chicks hate that, but I love functional things I can really use.  Le Creuset is pretty and works wonderful!  A dutch oven and cast iron skillet is essential.  They are expensive but will last a lifetime, check outlet stores for a deal.  They also make nice bakeware.  Plus Cobalt and Dijon make a fine color scheme!

KitchenAid stand mixers are boss.  High quality cookware, silicone utensils (no melting in a hot pan, fun colors, easy to clean) and GOOD knives, none of that cheap crap.

I also like getting some warm fuzzy socks and a good book.  I don't do purses/shoes but for many that is an easy way to impress.

My husband is getting the empty PS4 and Xbox One boxes cause I'm nice and he using them already.

condolences

As someone who is dealing with this with my dad (esophogeal cancer) I wanted to send you a ((hug))!  Best wishes for a positve outcome, don't forget to take care of yourself also.

David Molk

It's gotta be Molk.  My dog is tough, compact and doesn't like people!  She also has excellent ball security.

Dodson

I've been googling tonight and Dodsons instagram account has a message about his phone being stolen (confiscated per the warrant I assume) on the 10th.  His girlfriend is the other name mentioned in the document that wasn't redacted and shown by the news.  I hope the truth can be found and justice will prevail.

THANKS

Thanks for posting this, giving myself the gift of TomVH for xmas now. 

yup

I was able to get $15 month off the bill for a year and six months of the sports package.  And I am not under contract still so if they don't figure this out soon I can still bolt. I was able to get this thru the chat customer service of the website.

FML

Ugh, this just makes a crappy morning a shitty day!  No M for me and the husband is gonna be thrilled to come home to no badgers.  At least I have my inlaws login info for BTNtogo.  I guess I should see if we are still under contract and look at Directv. :(

done

I finally contributed.  I love Tay Odoms, he was kind enough to include a letter to my nephew encouraging him after being in a bad accident.  I had ordered him the original #EATING shirt to celebrate getting his jaw unwired. 

thanks

Thank you for the first hand knowledge.  Since he had some intestine removed he hasn't ate or drank since the accident thursday, waiting for it to heal.  They added a picc line that is giving him some nutrition during surgery yesterday.  I have been googling recipes and top of the line blenders, so I will add the water pik to the shopping list.  I better wait a bit because all his stitching is inside his mouth.  He has no weight to lose, skinny athletic kid.  Had a six pack going till now, is mourning the loss of it a bit :)

Da Bears

He is a huge Bears fan, we live near the IL border.  He does have an exception for Woodson though, so maybe I will try that when I get some time.  This kid just loves football period.  He watches the NFL network more than any person should.

OT - SORRY LOOKING FOR HELP, IDEAS

Sorry to threadjack but I am looking for advice or help.  My nephew takes after me and is a big M football fan in Badger territory.  On thursday he was in an atv accident and suffered some serious injuries.  That led to a helicopter ride to have emergency surgery where they resected his intestine due to a puncture wound.  Today he had facial surgery, getting screws and plates in his sinus area, in addition he had fracture around his eye and jaw and nose but those didn't require any hardware added.  On thursday he will have surgery on his L5 vertabra that he burst fractured.  So I am looking for any advice on keeping him in good spirits, he has been great so far, but I fear that he is going to get down.  Also any experience on having your jaw wired shut as they had to do that to set the face properly.  Then lastly, its his 17th bday in a few days.  Would anyone have a way to maybe get a card sent to him from some players?  It would make him happy and be unexpected.  Thanks for any and all help, mgolurker so cannot do a thread of my own!

wow

I love you.  That is all.  Now I will be thinking about general tso's rigatoni during games. 

BTN

Have you tried the streams direct from the B1G site?  All you need is the login info for one of the partners, I am guessing you know someone with dish network, directv or etc who would let you try it out. 

06 Northwestern

That is the only game I have been able to attend in AA.  It was an anniversary gift from my husband (non M fan) and he still bitches about the weather to this day.  Worst part was it turned into a nice day as soon as the game wrapped up. 

The only other game I have attended is @Purdue last year and it was pretty crappy itself, but the temps alone make that Northwestern game a clear winner for me.

thanks

I'm having a crappy day and your post made me smile.  Thank you!

Target

Sign me up as a Target Wolverine as well.  Walmart makes me depressed every time I step inside.

no thank you

Please never post that picture again.  You just ruined my morning!

got mine

I purchased from the family pack a few days ago and it never said anything about kids tickets.  It gave me section 103 which isn't even supposed to be included in the sale so it was a pleasant surprise.

quiet It's the same here - my nephew is saying how pleasant he finds it.
alternative If you are worried about credit card info over the web there are a few easy alternatives. Check with your CC co about temp or virtual cards, I know Bank of America does these. They will issue you a card number that you pick the limit for and expires in like a month. You set it for a buck more than you are spending and if someone gets the number its pretty worthless to them. Otherwise go buy a prepaid Visa, it'll cost a few bucks in fees. But seriously, most credit cards have good fraud policies. I have had a few fraudulent charges and it has been super easy to clear up.
whoa Simply beautiful, it brought a tear to my eye as well. At least I'm a girl so it's totally acceptable.
