As temping as that is, I often have to enter a steel mill within hours of landing so not a viable option... though on those days when I’m having a 630am bloody mary that could be the alternative.  Those days I’m not going to a steel mill upon landing.

Same. In 5+ years of 30-45 flights a year I’ve only ever had my bag not make it to the carousel once. And that was on a tight connection in Dallas Fort Worth’s clusterfuck airport headed to Monterrey Mexico. And the airline (American) had it at my hotel in Montclova (2.5 hours away) by 8pm.

Nice. I may have to try that. Usually I’m either watching some stupid show on Netflix or playing video games.

Nah.  I take about 15-20 work trips a year that require flying and its great.  Phones off, no internet (I know there is internet but I tell myself that my company won’t reimburse me for it), no kids, no wife.  A couple of bloody Mary’s in the airport bar and maybe one more on the plane if its a long flight and I can…

Beautiful!!  Doing some great work you are!

Lauren, can we get a guide for streaming this?

I have a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of low sodium soy in my desk drawer. I dress the salads I bring from home or the supermarket salad bar with those and some pepper. Super good.

Wow. Just fucking wow! Like just about everything you write this is an engrossing read. I’m sorry you had to experience it to write about it. It’s good you’re back and writing. Too many MORE YEARS of writing about big-CAPS and pointless profanity my homie.

I don’t see the puck hitting the shaft of the stick as he swings it (maybe he did but it doesn’t look like it to me) so about the only place it could have contacted the stick is up near the hand holding the stick but since the puck, glove, stick, AND pants are all black it’s impossible to tell.

Which is what they are supposed to do. It happens all the time around the goal where the official by the goal loses site of what everyone else can see is a loose puck and blows the play dead. How 4 sets of eyes lose a puck that is in the air though is beyond me.

Here is the rule from the official NHL 2018-2019 rule book downloaded from NHL.com.

Fixed it.  Had to turn off Ad block Plus and Ghostery.

I keep getting audio failed to load on just about every station.

Shit, I’m a Sixers fan and damn was that crushing... but what fucking DRAMA... 3 fucking bounces on the rim before going in.  That’s some Hoosier’s shit.

That’s because it’s so full of hate for the Sixers. Not sure why but that’s ok. And holy shit was Leonard just out of his fucking mind yesterday. He made every shot he took whenever the Sixers started to get some momentum. And even when Simmons stuck with him for an entire possession he still made the shots. I’ll…

Boston is my worry because they can force switches even with Reddick overplaying the screens. That’s easily the worst matchup for the Sixers. Not that the Bucks are a cakewalk... at any point in time Giannis can just go Giannis and take over the game.  This would be if the Sixers move on.

From what I understand he’s been told to overplay the screens... basically giving his man a free backdoor or cutback lane to the hoop and hope Embiid is there to erase or alter the shot. The Sixers team defense the last two games has been the best it’s been all season so yeah, it’s not just the Raptors shitting their…

There are more reasons than just gout flares, but that is the only one currently that is insanely painful. The less wear and tear on ankles and knees will lessen the aches.  I’ll also look better.  But its tough as I love to eat.

Ug.  I have gout and have had 3 flares in the last 4 years and each one is like having ground glass in my big toe joint.  Its funny but about the only thing that sets it off is stouts, porters and if I’ve walked 5-8 miles is casual (non-walking) shoes.  I still drink beer, eat beef (not as much as I did before dating…

Yes. yes it does. I herniated a disk in my neck getting out of bed. FUCKING getting out of bed. I was 43 (now 44) when it happened and had planned on playing roller hockey until I was 50 with stoner cousin and his stoner friends, but not now. I blame it all on playing football from 3rd grade into college. Basically…
