Since my husband doesn't do our grocery shopping, and I've been working non stop...we had nothing in the house when the sleet hit today. And I didn't really plan for it, thought the whole foreceast was the usual catastrophe thing they do here that never really happens. But once I found out that work...

On the O-State "waxing", as you put it so well...I have to wonder. Sean Sutton prepares the team well, and they could not do squat against the KU defense. I know KU is known for D, the Bill Self team that they are and they did play an awesome defensive game, but that was a horrible showing...

Obviously girls can't be trusted with weapons, they'll just pass out :)

Oklahoma State against the Jayhawks, on KU home court. Eddie's boy against Bill's boys...I'm kinda scared about this one. Pokes are good, but thin, very little bench. And this is basically the first game for them where that could be a real problem.

My hubbie and I were watching some of the procedure for the funeral of President Ford tonight, and we were talking about the fact that he really didn't do much..only two years in office and never ran for it, but he was still the President. And that means something, and he seemed basically to be a go...

The Darwin story gives a whole new meaning to the term "fire escape". Did he think if he went out there he was no longer flammable, or what? RIF :)

As long as history has been around, which is like..forever, there has always been an opportunity for assholes to flame themselves. And the best thing is they always bring their own gas.

WW, Just support her. It's your job as a dad. Growing up can be a hard thing, and it sounds like she is making her way with some confidence. If she is anything like anyone else I've known, the way may or may not change, but she will will still have the confidence. So, always support her all you can....

The thing that pisses me off is that no one is really a mechanic anymore, just guys who plug the car in to see what the computer tells them needs to be replaced and go from there. And that really sucks if you have an unreliable car! We have met one real mechanic lately, a guy whose kid hangs out wit...

Ang

WW, I would love to take the time to look at your daughter's questions and figure out an answer...but I gave 5 finals in the first three days of this week, and during that have been helping my kid study for his biology and algebra finals tomorrow for 9th grade (he will be working on the others over ...

Hale Bop was very cool. We saw that in our backyard in socal for many nights, and it was quite a show, very neat defined streak in the sky. Not a huge show, but a streak that was so visible and so unusual in the night sky that it held our attention for probably longer that it should have :) We are e...

Meteor showers are way too fun....blip, blip, blip, then an orange flame across the sky that looks like it's right in your face and appears to land next door, but in reality it burned up miles away. Rinse and repeat for as many hours as you want to watch. Cosmic events can be fun. My hubbie and I to...

Not sure if it counts for moms...cause my kid (now 14) could outrun me at about age 11, fast little shit that he is. We did taekwando together but both stopped at 1st degree black belt a couple of years ago. At that time, it was getting close. Our instructor said that we were about at the point wher...

Ang

I don't know how many of you get into this...and we didnt get into it til this year when our only kid started high school, but high school football games can be fun. My hubbie and I had very different experiences when we were high schoolers. He was the guy behind the stands seeing who had the better...

Ang

I kicked myself for not taking my clubs to work today. We have a 5-hole course that surrounds our office and gardens that is basically a turf research project but we can all play on it for no charge. The marshall comes around at least once a week to ask me when I'll be out again...and he's kind of c...

Ang

I have never taught anyone to drive..simply don't have the patience. But I have watched my hubbie teach many nieces, nephews, and kids of friends to drive. He spends at least an hour in the driveway...go forward, go back, find all the controls, figure out what you are doing with your feet, look in t...

Get back to us after Nancy tells the illegal immigrant labor force how much better off they are than the Walmart workers. Neither place is where anyone wants to be for a long time. The immigrant population gets credit for coming so far, but the working poor in America that are trying to get a better...

My hubbie found this on a board he reads. The following is the original post and a link to the video. Around 57 seconds into it, there is a truck that looks like it comes in and hits the wall, and all of a sudden there is another truck emerging from the impact. I think it had to be hidden from view ...

the Cards are sitting on a pair...the dirty hand is old news. The win this evening makes LaRussa look really good for being so polite about it all.

Why are there saints anyway? I have never understood this at all, coming from a Protestant background. I did go to a pre-canonization mass years ago in St. Louis for the person that started Opus Dei because I was invited by a friend who was in that order, and it was beautiful...but I didn't have any...

I know it's kind of late in the game to post on this, and to post without a racist joke...but what the hell. What I know from St. Louis is from living there for 4 years...years ago, and also doing regular trips there over the years since to see relatives and friends. My opinion of the place is that ...

Mikey,

About the same 90 years ago, this is how we sang it...

Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mixed with monkey meat
Ooowy goowy birdie feet
Me without a spoon, la de da de da
At least I have a straw

I don't even care that our storied coach drank his way into retirement, and we lost players along the way, and our new coach (son of old coach, but I didn't need to tell you all that) talks with a slight speech impediment but from all reports is going to be Eddie squared and then some :). I love col...

Good weekend all over the country for motorcycle drives. We have our guest room ready for a friend of my hubbie who is driving from Ohio to the Moat tomorrow on his second day of travel from Toronto to stay with us, then they go off for a larger group ride in SE Oklahoma the next couple of days. A w...

The wild card, and what I think is the bottom line, is how China deals with it. That will set the tone, and everyone can go on from there.

Strange thing...I live with two musically talented computer geeks (hubbie and kid) and my hubbie told me that he saw the video from metafilter way before the kid found it on Utube, and the responses on metafilter were like what Dins said...too technical. Thing is, most any wonderful thing with some ...

Rich. You already know who Buck Neal was...but many of us don't, or didn't until you posted about his death. There are a hell of a lot of things to keep up with in this world, so I salute you for letting the shallow baseball fans like me know (I mean the shallow thing sincerely, cause I only follow ...

A few times the subject of guitar and kids guitar playing has come up on the board, and today my kid showed me this video that he found on Utube so I thought there may be a few folks here who might like to hear it. It's a pretty amazing guitar version of the Pachelbel Canon in D, written in 1680. No...

So this is what happens when your kid goes off to college and you clean out the closet? Funniest thing I've seen in a long while...way mo' better than just boxing up old legos and giving them to Goodwill :)

WAR the ever creative mind of Luth!

socal, Rack the kid, and realize he's not a kid for long! The prep work he put into getting there is not just the work of a kid, it is the work of a young man who decided to accomplish something he had in his sights, and has done it well. That is way cool! We have a freshman as well, and I think tha...

pop, The male members of my family often call me dense (I am outnumbered here), and I figure it's just their problem because we don't ALL talk in bullet points, but occasionally...not that often, but it happens... it justs come home to me not getting it :) And I really missed something here, saw a f...

Chavez is speaking out both sides of his mouth. He started to clamp down a couple of years ago on his own people when he had a political challenge at home. So now he's trying to make his point outside his country. He needs to allow more freedom at home before he becomes credible in something like of...

I hope someone else on the board "got" this whole exchange, because I sure didn't. This thread is like a fucking t-ball game. No apparent reason to be there, no player actually hitting a ball, and no one on defense unless they run into some thing they randomly picked up on the field. A few...

I have to admit that I didn't see the game, but listened to some commentary and several included an obvious bad call that had OU with the ball on a posession after a fumble by Oregon that should have been called down and dead ball with Oregon keeping the ball. Did OU do anything with that gift? I'm ...

pop,

You didn't offend at all, and I said what I wanted to say. So forget about trying to be PC...that would be the end of all of us :).

I have no idea what started all this, and I like both contestants in the proposed war. But, battle down, take sides and find where you are gonna be...I have to take my weed-whacker, lawn mower, and any earth moving equipment I can muster and be on Derron's side. And that is not any insult to pop (on...

At least the bad call in the Sooner game didn't come from the Pope :)

Mikey, your kid rocks! Thanks for posting about it. In all the ups and downs of parenting..the feeling when you see your kid do well is just a good feeling like nothing else in the world. Raising a teenager is no easy feat. We are just getting into it here with more freedom and responsibility with o...
