D-League

Darn it SC Sir you got me started. I am peeling back a few Yuenglings..Been driving all day with many stops along the way. My Darling and I even voted.... I may even drink three...

Try this one on for size... Just an amazing rendition...



The Ole girl can sing but she was trying hard to keep up... ;) (Didn't let it get her down, heck, I'd have been nervous too..)

Much better on her part in this rendition...

It's the time of year. My favorite Halloween candy?

This has to be a joke.

A dirty, nasty joke but I am betting it is true. Just filthy for those who claim to represent anything. It's like they are in some sort of gross eat it all challenge... I am a big ole fella and I love food but I top out at 215 at 5'11" (Army never would give me 6 feet.) but at my worst and I lost thirty pounds a bunch of years ago when I sold my business and got lazy for a year before I self-adjusted my intake but, I never envisioned that slop. That is past double your weight territory with a few going past that...

I will stop...
 
Communist! Seriously though, my wife hates coconut.

My wife "dislikes coconut" with every fiber of her being... sort of. She has no problem with macaroons nor german chocolate cake (with coconut in the icing).

I can't eat almonds anymore. Appear to have developed a sensitivity, but it's non-life threatening. Have a couple friends that have also developed something similar. We ALL ate way too many almonds when we were younger.

I used to eat a Mounds candy bar once a week during the fall and winter when I was a kid.

Three flavor coconut cake/bar candy thingy

^^^^ STILL LOVE THESE ^^^^

Good morning, D-L!

Game day! Time to prove the doubters wrong again! Hope we put the stink on MSU like we did on LSU.

Hope y'all enjoy your end to the week, and that you don't forget who gave it all to you, and made it all possible! Let God's word run deep, and through His son will flow rivers of living water into your soul! He is the vine! We are the branches!

NO ONE placed in His hand will be snatched out, so hold on to Him for all you're worth
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 49°F and clear. 56% humidity. Today's high may reach around 82°F.

Watched basketball team vs KY Wesleyan last night. Saw lots of talent and many things they can build on. Make that extra pass. Seemed like a few too many turnovers early on. They'll be okay.

Happy Caturday! Big game tonight in Starkville. Go Cats!

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

This should make it taste better for her.

 
Good morning! It's gameday! Hope the fellas are all healed up and hungry tonight. I watched SEC network for a while after the game last night and those guys are all pretty high on UK going 11-1. It's not going to be a cakewalk tonight but we are good enough to go down there and take their lunch money this year. UK 31 - MSU 24

Ended up shooting 38% from 3 last night. Not bad but will get a little better I would think. Oscar and Sahvir are going to make a huge difference in this team all by themselves. 2 best transfers yet.

Duke in about 9 days and then it's on! 40-0 baby!
 
Good Saturday Game Day morning

Woke up to a nice morning, lots of clouds in the sky. We have 54° and a 15% chance of rain by mid afternoon. We should get up to 69°. Not bad for a football game. There will be an interesting game up in Jacksonville and history tells us you seldom know how this one will go.. I miss Larry Munson. In fact I miss all of the old timers who called games in the SEC. They were colorful and knew their football. RIP Cawood.

So my game face is on and my BBQ grill is clean and ready to fire up. This is game day and I am putting on my game face. We have a big hurdle to get by up there in Mississippi. We haven't won their since 2006 or 08 or something like that. Let's stop the streak and win number 7.

Take care all,

UP AND ATOM!




Morning Legionnaires!

Weather is a nice 52° with light winds. Last grass cutting day for the year will be today. Will wait until in laws come over before I start (Heh, heh, heh).

Serious question for you good people. Dentures or implants. I am missing three teeth upper right side and going to have two pulled upper left side soon. Already had one pulled upper left in 1977 so will have as many missing on both sides. Implants seem good but are expensive. Dentures seem to be limited in what you can eat. Thoughts?

Oh yeah, one last thing.

It's game day people so you better be ready!

I also watched SEC network postgame. Gene and Chris indeed seems pretty high on our Cats. Hoping for a Wildcat W.

Oscar is a load, but I worry about him getting in foul trouble. Sahvir is a sparkplug all by himself bringing amazing energy. He's a huge difference maker on the floor. Big upgrade over last season.
 
Good morning all. Almost didn't post this morning...or I could have pasted the last few days...about 50 out which is close to today's high of 52, so no temp movement again. And, of course, it's wet out with intermittent showers now and for the day. Rinse and repeat.

Went to the 'World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party' a few times. Great atmosphere..and usually great game. The 'Party' was one of the early PC cancellations. Maybe not exactly PC...but close.

Met Munson a number of times and he was very nice. And, as I've mentioned before...maybe not on this thread, Cawood was a relative. In fact was talking with a distant cousin a month or so ago about him.

Y'all have a good day.

I have had dentures since right after my 23rd birthday........never used any adhesive.......I can eat anything....corn on the cob, saltwater taffy.....anything.....I looked into the implants one time when I needed new dentures........the dentures cost $2k at that time......the implants with "no guarantee" that they would work were $18K.......I had more than the normal bone loss which was a major part of my dental problems.....ask around people you know for referrals and also ask your dentist for list of referrals of folks that they had made teeth for.......The Director has spent more on adhesives than she did her dentures.......and has to cut everything into tiny bites...........I am not a dentist but sounds like to me that you will only need a partial.......as long as you have some of your teeth they can anchor the new ones to your teeth........and if they are not your front teeth you will be OK.......I had to go several months with out teeth.....because it took that long for the bone to grow around the implanted materials....lastly......good luck......

As awf mentioned, partials might be the way to go. I have them. I don't use adhesives, but I do watch what I eat as a trade off for not using adhesives.

Me and my partials can't get along. I've experienced several problems, especially when eating. Therefore, I've also been looking at implants. It appears our retiree dental insurance (MetLife) pays 50%. Couple estimates I've seen means costs equal roughly $15K out-of-pocket. I'm not going down to Mexico for implants, although $5K is a price I've heard.

Fix your choppers if you can ...

Austin, check out Korean Dentists. WC too. You are more likely to have them around you. I had work done in SA. Worth a check .. All I have used have been excellent.

I've got three implants on molar's. As I remember all was about $3600 or so. Had them at different times. Needed another one but that's just a gap since I was real young.

What do you pay for Metlife? We have dental through my wife's work and now I am fishing for new insurance since she will probably lose her job Dec 8.
 
That is sad, sad news. A Catfish and oyster restaurant is my favorite type of restaurant. Maybe someone can take it over and keep it going.
A couple times a year I get a 20 pound box of frozen cat fish from a friend who manages a wholesale food company. Last June the box cost me $28 and yesterday it was $45. That is over a 50% increase. We are going to see a round of inflation like we have not seen since the 70's.

Thanks Joe.

Isn't it funny how Kentucky big men get called for fouls at a higher rate than any other position at any other school? One thing I like about Oscar is that he plays within himself and doesn't panic when he gets a rebound under the basket. He just calmly plays it off the backboard like he's supposed to and makes nearly all his putbacks. Refreshing actually. Wish @wildcatdonf was here. He appreciates the proper use of the backboard.

Do you think number 21 will be a Wildcat next year? Cal was enamored with him.
 
Thanks Cord! Unfortunately I'm only 61 and my wife 63. Still a few years away from getting Medicare. Actually a few EXPENSIVE years away.
Plus as you get older they charge more and more. Last year Sherry and I paid out over $12,000 on cost of medical and drug insurance (that includes the cost of Medicare itself).

As a disclaimer I have Palmento instead of Medicare, but it is Medicare for railroaders.
 
Good morning D-League.

I was so busy this week I didn’t get to finish my mandatory “workplace violence” training.

Luckily I have cracked the code that will allow me to ace the test at the end without actually having to watch the looong video: All abusers and bullies are middle-aged white men, and all victims are minority women and, or gays.

It’s actually pretty funny as long as you don’t take it seriously.

Didn’t get to watch the Cats last night. The “commentary” is all over the map. I guess we’ll find out where the team stands soon enough.

$85.76 per month for wife and I together. Auto allotment via MyPay. Just now needed 20 minutes to obtain this information from my last monthly retiree account statement because I've not logged in since March. Changed password, wait 10 minutes for confirmation email, blah blah.

Anyway, MetLife is our insurer through CHAMPUS. We chose them few years ago when renewal came up again.

I'll bet that pissed you and you violently threw a fit...coworker out the window.

About cracking the code. Here is one that might interest you.

Yeah, me and my old lady (Heh, heh, she hates that) have been looking at what we could get out of what Tri-Care offers so, that is not a bad deal I think.

Landing #21 would be awesome. Unknown if he signs.

I'll withhold opinion of Oscar until after the Duke game. Like his moves and style thus far. We'll know much more after he competes against top-10 D-1 teams.
