My kids say the "b" word, I give them chores.But you have been doing chores already.

When I was doing laundry this afternoon, I put on the Oklahoma game again. Have watched that sucker enough that ISU is starting to catch up in the series.

Thank you! The vixen thinks I'm nutty for re-watching games......I have many on DVD and watch them when I need a lift. I am particularly fond of two MBB games - the big comeback against Oklahoma, and the spanking we put on KU at Hilton. (I always re-run Matt's dunk over and over.)
 
My brother contracted rheumatoid arthritis some years ago. He said a good morning was when he could shave himself. He did get a series of shots that helped calm it down. I am starting to have some issues with knees, shoulders, hands, etc.

@ImJustKCClone, I feel your pain. I have to use a mouse most of the day 5 days a week and I'm really starting to worry about CTS. I might have to ask for some tips about learning to mouse with my left hand.

Practice. My first home & work desktop computers were Apple IIe+ & Apple III in the early 80s. I wasn't introduced to a computer mouse until I met PapaLew (10 years later). There was an early game on the non-Apple PCs called minesweeper, where you used the mouse to click numbered squares to open them. I played that game over & over trying to get used to the dang mouse!

I spent hours playing Minesweeper.....I'll give it a shot! :)
 
I really hate my commute. Better now then when it was 7 days/week and the some times 2-3x/day, but has gotten very old. 45 minutes each way on the same boring road with a bunch of turns, curves, stops and a couple little towns. Speed limit needs to be 90.

Two other great basketball ones -- last year in Phog and Iowa game in Hilton when little red haired boy from Iowa bricked the throws when Hilton was shaking and then suck a fat one clunked a three and they just kept bricking up two's on the rebound, plus Georges' coffee shot.

The commentary in Oklahoma football game is starting to seem trite in retrospect.

Move to Montana for the speed limit change?

Move to Montana. Or Germany. Or Canada!
Yeah, I'd prefer higher speeds also.
Pre-emptive strike: I'm NOT from Pasadena
(although I was born in Covina & lived my first six months in Azusa)

OK, now after reading your descriptions of those games I think I want to watch a game with you. I think we'd get along pretty well.
