I wanted to go to Purdue for chemistry. It is a good school. To get an out of state scholy I needed to make 96 percentile on the SAT. I got to 95 and could never get over the hump. So I went to Western Kentucky.

Sir,

I got a bug degree from Purdue. I never mention that for some reason. Seriously it is a Pest Technology degree. (Associates) I never have put that on any of my resumes...

Not sure why.... Kind of forgot until you mentioned Purdue, they had a heck of an "antemology"... (I know, I know...entomology...) May be why they didn't like me much. I "gradgeeated from dar dough 2."...

My sister is an RN at Vandy and gave me a shirt when they won the baseball national title, so I wear it at times.

From my immediate family, only my daughter, she of several degrees, still has an alma mater in the NCAA tournament.

My son is a UK grad, well, we know that disaster.
My younger daughter and wife both have Maryland degrees. They didn't even make the dance.
My older daughter has a BA from Florida, a masters from Gonzaga and a PhD from Kansas, so she started out with three chances. Last Saturday, while visiting my family in Kentucky, we watched at a sports bar as her Gators lost an OT heartbreaker to Colorado. Then her Zags and her Jailhawks played each other. She hates Self over the women abuse he tolerates so was glad to see Gonzaga advance.

I got to leave work early. (Still plenty of work I must finish by Monday so I AM working.)

We have a good Friday service at church this evening. When I got home My Darling was making these....

I ate the remnants and the ends along with the left-over "fixings"....

Now I am getting ready to......... Eat a few... 😍😍😍...

Egg, imitation crab meat, spinach, rice, a fish of some sort but kind of like spam, wrapped in a seaweed wrap rubbed with sesame seed and olive oil.....

Yeah, Kings eat on special occasions how I eat regularly....

I AM thankful!!!

Looks like Christmas candy to me.

It was.... Forgot to mention the pickled turnips inside as well.. ALL of those things are................gone.....

I am in deed.... Thankful!

The only thing that would have made it better is if I could share with you all... We'd have a serious party....

Elite 8 in the books.

ACC- 3
SEC- 2
Big 10- 2
Big East- 1

Any team other than Duke, UConn or UT is fine by me. I have a feeling that UConn is going to steam roll to another title. The dynasty continues.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

What a miserable night of games. One of Houston's best players gets hurt and Duke wins by 3.

And Tennessee wins. Terrible.

 

[storm1507]

We coulda/shoulda be playing Duke for a Final Four trip. Depressing.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and partly cloudy. Expecting 79°F for today's high. Pulling on shorts in a bit. May receive some rain come Monday.

NCAA tourney: May catch a few games this afternoon and tomorrow.

Braves: Kicked Phillies butts yesterday. Heh.

Watched "The Truth vs Alex Jones" and "Becoming Warren Buffett" last night. Good documentaries.

Wishing y'all an awesome Easter holiday weekend.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Beautiful sunny spring day in the East. Finishing off my Saturday hike.

Looking forward to a big lunch gathering at a nearby restaurant. A late birthday celebration for my wife and daughter.

Little interest in the hoops today. Looking forward to some baseball this weekend.

Hope you all have a good day.

 

[warrior-cat]

Settling in to watch the Reds. Wildcats were ahead of Ole Miss in the 4th 7-4. Will check in again shortly.

 

[warrior-cat]

UK up 13-7 in the 6th.

 

[warrior-cat]

UK wins 17-9 Ole Miss. Now 23-4 through the early season so far. Not bad.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Went to Kentucky this morning. Visit to cemetery, good friends and out to lunch at Chinese Restaurant with Sister. Wore out.
Played golf for the first time in 3 years Friday. Finally slowed down swing and started to swing easier changed everything. Getting ready to play in Senior League starting Wednesday.

 

[berniecarbo]

Sometimes when we try to hard, we tense up and our movements and not smooth and free enough. I never played golf, but I have found that in other endeavors. A long time ago I was listening to a guy demonstrating self defense techniques. He was stressing the importance of all movement starting from the center of the body. Our center is where the biggest strongest muscles are located. He said if you are sitting down and someone pulls the chair out from under you, you should be able to stop yourself from falling. I get lax sometimes, but I try to make that a habit.

Illinois-UConn game reminding me of Georgetown-Kentucky game 1984.

 

[cordmaker]

Good afternoon D, watching The Bible on History Channel, good show! Just showed Jesus in the wilderness being tested by satan, I swear it looked just like obama! They got that character right!! Well, I read and hear about side effects and reactions, I witnessed them for myself. I've got some fluid in my ear, was given Sudogest, I read all the stuff about it and said I am not taking it, waited a couple days then changed my mind, bad discussion, within 4 hours was really sick, bearly could pee, that was just part of it! Feeling better today but man it's been rough!! Glad I just took two of those pills!!!

Hate to say it but IMO nobody is beating UConn.

Happy Easter to the D...

 

[berniecarbo]

A long time ago, I was prescribed a lot of sinus meds. They all said take with a full glass of water. Eventually I figured out the water by itself worked without the meds and wasn't bad for the prostate. Wish I had figured that out sooner.

 

[UK82]

Bama in the Final 4. Salvages the SEC performance with UT up tomorrow.

That UConn 30-0 run against Illinois is something I've never seen this late in the season. I hated it.

The SEC schools never root for us. I will root for Bama against UCONN cause we want them stopped. But most times I hope every SEC team loses. Hope Tennessee gets murdered

Tough one for me. I hate UT but also hate the Big 10. Best case scenario, NC State beats Duke by 30 then pummels either UT or Purdue in the Final 4. Hate the ACC too. Damn, I'm really not a hateful guy. Oh yeah I almost forgot. I hate UConn too.

I don't want Tenn to ever get a FF. I can't stand Purdue, use to know several Purdue fans. But Purdue is playing Tennessee and then possibly Duke and then if they get to the National Championship probably UCONN. I'm just going to have to root for Purdue. If they were playing a team I didn't truly hate, I would be against Purdue. I don't think anyone is beating UCONN though.

 

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter Sunday.

I'm going to Sunrise Services in a bit. Great weather for it so far.

I still haven't watched any of the NCAA tourney since we exited. Man I sure miss March Madness as we knew it.

Worked hard yesterday. I got a project done at the house (digging) but mostly volunteering yesterday....picking up litter and leaf blowing a couple miles of the Pine Mtn Scenic Trail. I'm feeling it.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning and Happy Easter from ATX. Currently 65°F and cloudy. Expecting 80°F for today's high.

And then there were 6. UConn won convincingly after a tight first half. Clemson hung in there, but Tide too strong.

Go Boilermakers! Go Wolfpack!

Got my walking shorts on. Headed out for a stroll after bit. Work laundry later.

Again, wishing y'all Happy Easter.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Dropped My Darling off for Choir practice before the 8:30 service. Sitting in the car drinking my coffee, having a couple small pieces of dark chocolate (the 85% variety), heading inside in about five minutes.

We just joined this church after attending for about five years. The first service for us was Friday, our first Easter service as members.

A lot of decent people here. I have to find some sort of job but am not certain yet what that is. It will work out, I am willing but my time is so taken.

I am thankful but my children and grand children keep me engaged. Not even mentioning work and my side hustles that I have not engaged in for a while....

Up from the grave he arose.... God Bless you all....

 

[vhcat70]

Happy Easter everyone.

At least there’s one good SEC basketball team.

Yesterday’s game was typical Reds. Decent starting pitching, get two two run leads and score six, and relief pitching gives up more runs in less innings than the starter. Maybe it will change. Any bets?

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Happy Easter D League.

Had a nice gathering that served as a belated birthday party for my wife and daughter yesterday. Very good food at a nice restaurant, and for once it was established in advance that I didn't get the check -- my wife's mother and step-father did.

Beautiful sunny day in the east. Got in a nice run this morning and enjoying the day. Miss having little ones around for Easter but life rolls on. My older daughter will probably send me some photos or a short video of the grandkids in their Easter duds in suburban Kansas City.

Enjoy the day, eveyone.

 

[warrior-cat]

Went fishing this morning and cut the grass upon returning. Nothing to report as I had only three strikes, but nothing hooked or landed.

Ugh, Reds still need pitching down 5-3 to the Nats in the bottom of the 8th 2 down. Tejay Antone came in in the top of the 8th Reds down 4-3 only to load the bases with no outs. Cruz came in to only allow one to score before recording 3 outs.

 

[warrior-cat]

Wow! Down 5-3 in the 9th with 2 outs. India fouls off about 10 balls before getting a hit for a double. Benson comes in first pitch, home run to tie it. Then, Christian Encarnacion-Strand (hitless so far this year) hits a home run after that to win the game.

PLEASE NC State beat Duke. UK is tied with Duke for 3rd most Final 4 appearances (17). I'd hate to be pushed to 4th (NC with 21 and UCLA with 18),

Both Tenn and Duke lose. Today was a good day.

 

[BBUK]

 

[UK82]

How 'bout NC State! Eerily reminiscent of the 2011 UConn team. I'll be pulling for Bama but NC State wouldn't bother me a bit if they won the title. Still, looking like a UConn/Purdue showdown. Probably the 2 best teams all year so it's fitting.

 

[_Rooster]

Kentucky sucked. Cal should quit.

I remain disgusted with the final product.

Good morning from Burbach, Germany. Currently 45°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 61°F. Loving this weather.

Plan on meeting up with other old friends today. So many to visit, so little time.

Must fill out my bracket later today also.

Wishing y'all an awesome day.

Mudbugs

I know the feeling, easy to keep track of for sure. I have twin sons whose birthday is May 20th. One of them has triplet sons whose birthday is May 11th. They have another son who has a birthday on August 30th, and a daughter August 18th. My wife August 3rd, me August 1st, and I have a brother August 19th. It is almost like Christmas spending levels during those 2 months. Oh, and by the way, MIL's is the 30th of July.

September

Good morning from ATX. Currently 46°F and mostly cloudy. Today's high may reach 68°F. Slight chance for rain.

Jet lag ...
First day back at work went okay. Worked 3 tickets.

Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Bonded on a cube? Nice!

Good morning folks.

Another crazy day on the subway. A melee breaks out between this fairly big man and a good sized woman who is shrieking and howling. When I turn, I see her wailing at the guy, landing punches, but he is being aggressive too, so I reluctantly decide someone needs to break this up before it gets out of hand. Luckily a young Black guy joins me so I’m not just making it racial. We try to get between them but the woman is still throwing haymakers. Someone has called the cops and a metro security guard shows up. The guy runs away and the woman, of course, turns on the guard, cursing him in vile terms, before she runs after him.

Just another day.

Hope it is peaceful where you are.

"Yikes!"

Ya think? You don't miss it by much but you "ain't" Dan'l Boone. Course Dan'l cilled a Bar in a tree....

Really enjoy you relaying your day. Just enjoyable.

I showed My Darling the bear pics as I do many of your pics.

My Darling grew up in the woods and small areas of Korea and is an avid and learned farmer and mountain woman if you will. She loves it. Thanks again...

Filson Club?
