thanks HP. love the lyrics. the last few days of his life my mother-in-law was quietly singing an old 40's song in his ear, ""my darling", my darling Get used to the name of "my darling" It's here to stay"
and at his last moments oldest daughter was singing a song from mary poppins that they used to sing when they were little. she finished the song, he took is last two breaths, and was gone.
agreed re: grief. i analogize it to getting a severe bruise. it hurts a lot when it happens and its all you think about. eventually it hurts less and you don't think about it 24/7. then after a while its out of your daily thought process, but things will remind you of what caused the bruise. you just have to let time pass. learned that lesson as a kid when mom died.
what a great post KOK. wonderful family working together and that undoubtedly comes from your mom and dad instilling that into you and your siblings. and like you, i have been feeding, cleaning, changing, shaving, giving hair cuts to grandpa. i guess that's all over now. still hasn't sunk in all the way. wiped out today.
geez, now you're going to get me verklempt all over again. thank you, and thank you to pete and LB, above. loved my FIL, a wonderful man, and it is simultaneously God's mercy, and hurtful and so final, all at the same time.
matthews has been out for the last 3 games. they say he's been 'sick', but with an extraordinarily fit and high-functioning athlete like that, in the playoffs, i am afraid it is something much more serious. hopefully not.
we played in toronto when i was on the jr. wings and were treated like celebrities, and then some. beat the canadian junior national team (the 'young nats') and you'd think we won the stanley cup. saw the leafs play the LA kings for the western conf title years back during the first gulf war and decided then that i liked them and would root for them if not in conflict with the wings. i don't think they've won the cup since something like ~67? hockey's version of the lions.
the wings were fun to watch down the stretch, pulling a number of come-from-behind thrillers out. bummed they aren't in the playoffs, but it was great to watch the wings play well in meaningful games. LGRW.
How far is the distance between the vertical supports of your 2x6?
I do a lot of pull-ups and out weigh you by 50 lbs. I would not be worried about using a 2x6, assuming the wood is in good condition. Some flex (deflection) is no big deal, just use all that gray matter you have, you’ll know.
read more closely. the booze is already paid for. if there's any scam to be had, it'd be by whomever picks the booze up for him. there are a ton of people on this board that, if it was my request, i wouldn't have a nanosecond of hesitation trusting them to deliver it to the post office.
you try living with a black and white unit in front of your house 24/7. sounds cool. is not so cool but still was glad to have them.
i still have a vivid memory from moving from socal back home to the UP and dancing around the kitchen with my wife when the new phone books came out and our names were in it. i kid you not.
to each their own, and you and your wife need to take inventory of what really matters.
we left socal 20 yrs ago and i have no desire to ever return. the big question is what matters to you two? open spaces? fresh air/ warm weather? big night life? city amenaties? sports? family connections?
for us, i love people b ut i hate crowds. i wanted to live under my real name. i missed 4 seasons. i love to hunt and fish. we wanted space, etc. do that inventory for you and yours.
do what we'd call the 'benjamin franklin' close on the two or three places you think are top of the list. that means list the pros and cons of each place. employment opportunities (maybe no difference with WFH), education, all of that.
a.) thank you jeepinben, you are the king of these
b.) a diesel-hybrid of some sort. i haven't done much studying on them, but they seem to get ridiculous mileage whether electric or diesel, and don't suffer the problems of EV's.
Sure, it’s just a tunnel sometimes makes people different.
Seriously, players do form a level of respect and appreciation. I enjoy it when the final whistle blows and the opposing team players shake hands and bro hug. All the gamesmanship aside, that’s the way it should be..
super-duper tuff. don't you cast aspersions at third base, i mean, don't cast aspersions at the brave, brave threatener of 85 yr old former coaches. he is tuff times 5 or 10.

knowing you're a vet, i'm guessing there is a story in the 'don't say c-o-i-n word', but only use RMO. could use some levity, please share.

fortunately not preaching today. would be tough to keep my head in the ball game.
the kids did give me a shirt at Christmas that said: careful, or you'll be in my next sermon.
good advice.

maybe, but he's hell on wheels in the fast-pitch softball league
there are wolverines in michigan, and yes, i mean the 4-legged kind
in africa and mexico they prepare it well, but not something i'd indulge in stateside.
and while i'm at it, who the heck is kevin hart, and why do people like/dislike him so much?
Sherrone played in two BCS championship games as an OG and coached 2 Joe Moore award winning lines. Prospects are very good
wolf = weight room.
very nice. two 7-footers.
oh gosh, i had no idea about that. none. what a startling revelation. thank you.
EDIT: apparently I’m pretty good at calculus.
sherrone moore is coach. sherrone was rather good at 'offensive line' when he played
sherrone has coached two joe moore award winning lines

he is going blue, and kentucky will not be able to buy him out of our clutches.
suffice it to say, the canadian girls were not sore losers.

Dimensional lumber has shrunk, been that way for decades. Check out the Michigan residential code on framing, suggest table R502.

How much do you weigh and how far would be the clear span of the 2x6?
bottom line: rgard is hung like a gerbil.

crud. we all should've volunteered. show up at a liquor store, get the booze. disappear. the rare 'reverse nigerian prince' move!

hopefully that helps.
Not certain, but it would be usual for the agent to get all or nearly all of their commission upfront with the first payment.

Apparently day’s hair was the one part of him not born on 3rd base
ryan day is very, very tough, just ask him. like his team. and he doesn't dye his hair. nope. all natural.
as incredible as that pick was, it was 4th and 10 and was a 40 yd mistake in terms of field position.
