Freeeedommmm. The wife is back

You handed Knox to her in the driveway, didn't you?

This isn’t place for this discussion. But I can’t let this pass
Glitch, some of your post is semi accurate but if not for unions, we all would be working for pennies, 60+ hours a week, no holidays, no medical benefits, no retirement nothing but work. Just like third world.
Yes disparity between workers can be frustrating but it’s management responsible to manage their workers. I’m a proud IBEW member enjoying my retirement and I hope your Dad enjoys his.
Tennessee is a “right to work”for less state
Let all be free to choose, the USA is great

Since you responded, how many times did production slow down waiting for the Union specialist to get finished with his mandatory break so that he could change the light bulb? I'm glad you're enjoying your retirement.

Not going to discuss this in this forum, not the place. just read some USA or world labor history and stop listening to hearsay but I did get my breaks and fought for good conditions.

It's like they are tucking them up to show off more leg. No thank you.

I noticed it, too. The bigger ladies seemed to be doing it. It's probably a comfort/movement thing with the way they tend to play with their backs to the goal and their butts out.

 

[WriterVol]

For any that care, the ladies played a sloppy first quarter. Bad passing and no lane defense. They tightened that up and took the lead. They never played at 100%, but they controlled the game for the most part. Though they never could quite break away.

Vandy just isn't a very good team, but they were pretty scrappy. Tennessee killed them in the boards, and that made most of the difference. Vandy looked pretty gassed at the end when Tennessee finally established a decent lead.

They'll need a more complete effort against South Carolina this weekend.

Some we've enjoyed there (all were for dinner):

Havana Rumba (not downtown, but more than one location)
Troll Pub Under the Bridge (is downtown)
The Irish Rover (not downtown)

Schimpff's Confectionery across the bridge in Jeffersonville, Indiana is worth a visit. Don't take the interstate across. It's a toll (which should not be legal for an interestate)

That’s a spot that kept popping up. Looks cool. Thanks

There's a good Mussel/Burger Bar downtown, but I can't remember the name.

Wild Eggs was good breakfast but we had a long wait to get seated.

I’m assuming you didn’t play D1 collegiate sports, there’s a lot of broke people walking around with no time to do anything.


Playing in front of people Has no monetary value. If they got their fair share of this, they would have access to all of that with a safety net for putting their bodies on the line for the opportunity to one day get paid for their talents.

Oh but it does. An opportunity to play on national TV - the exposure is definitely of value. They get to play on national TV because of all the people they play in front of. What kind of NFL contract do you think they’d get playing on a playground with on one watching?

Edit: Swansoned by VolGee4 and he said it way better than me!

That’s where I am. Cars are such a waste of money. I have a nice one for my family, but my last two cars - a 1992 Honda Civic hatchback that I bought used for $1,500, and then pushed past 300,000 miles (and then sold for $1500) and a 2007 Ford Edge that is on the cusp of 200,000. Hate the idea of spending money on a car.

I am going to try to find me a reliable used truck soon for 10- 12,000 just to go camping, and on trips because I don't want to get fifty miles from civilization in the Rockies and my vehicle break down..there is a practical purpose for that..but I will never spend much more than 1-2000 on a get around town and drive to work car again...I don't care how poor people think I am because I drive a car that looks like it belongs in a scrapyard.

Board question: who is your favorite VFL that you wouldn’t consider an absolute superstar. No Peyton’s, Reggie’s, Eric Berry’s, that Ilk.


Mine is Deon Grant.....and it ain’t close

Bubba Miller.
I wrestled in HS the same years he did, but at different schools. He is the best heavyweight HS wrestler i have ever seen. Now he owns a recycling business about a mile away from my farm in Leipers Fork... Very nice guy. If you have ever met Coach Gentry, you would understand why his football players were elite athletes and even better people.

And credit is easier to get than ever...

That is how they are sucking us idiots into paying those crazy total prices on vehicles imo. They are pushing out to 7-10 years on financing..and some of us idiots are lapping it up.

I am going to be getting an inheritance, and mom made me promise her I would buy at least one decent vehicle with it, but I think instead of jumping in and getting a truck now, that I will wait till the economy crashes again.

Dummies everywhere will be trying to unload vehicles and luxuries like campers and Jet skis for cash to pay bills just like back in 07-10 when everybody lost their jobs.

I am going to be on the other side of that this time.

Craig Faulkner, Darwin Walker, Dale Jones...man there are soooo many lunch pail guys through the years that I loved.

It would make sense with the coach the Titans have

His current coach has a place in Franklin.

They always play sloppy. Very disappointing that KJH isn’t getting it through their thick heads to be smarter with the ball. When I get to watch them, they turn the ball over so much, and it’s because of careless ball handling. If they would protect the ball and cut their turnovers in half, they would be a much better team.

Breakfast: get a Hot Brown at the Brown Hotel
Lunch: grab something downtown like Proof on Main
Dinner: Havana Rumba, one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life

 

[BaldBiker]

That’s was around the time you retired. Right, peepaw?

Yes it was...**ckhead.

So there’s a thing the womenfolk do to show off their newly minted nails...they use a “nail prop.” It’s basically holding something in your hand for the picture of the nails. Well, my wife showed me this one and I died.
