They're having an International Women's Day call.
11 minutes in and they are still having technical difficulties
I thought about commenting maybe you should call a man to help you set it up correctly
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't go over too well

You just checking out the women??? Or you feel like a woman today so you jumped on the call?

Went to the care center last night to visit the MIL. An older gentleman from our church is there due to a fall so I visited him also. He mentioned that it was really cold last night and he couldn’t sleep. I joked and asked if he had opened the window. He said yeah it was hot on Sunday so I opened it and it was never closed. He did chuckle a little then when I said that maybe closing the window would take care of that.

So far the only person talking on this call is a man

Nah, I keep thinking they’re still kids, and their moms still worry about them.

I might be in the minority but I respected Mike Gundy for his "I'm a man" speech to that reporter because of this reason. That QB had a terrible day. His mom was trying to help the kid out. All the reporter did is embarrass the kid.

Maybe Gundy could have handled it more privately but I can still respect him for it and think that I'd handle it differently.

I suppose they wanted to get something accomplished.

When I was with Level 3 Communications, they had a deal with Northwest Airlines where we were bumped to 1st Class for free.

Only flew cattle class for the Corps of Engineers. Did get a ride in the generals Gulfstream III a couple of times (peons only rode if there was extra room based on rank/grade). Very old plane that supposed had been part of Reagan's presidential fleet in a previous service life. Old worn out overstuffed chairs in it that looked like they belonged in someone's living room. Based on the way the peeps talked about the "G3" I was shocked that it was in fact a complete piece of crap. I guess it looked cool from the outside, but woof, that interior. Something about the politics of the Mississippi River Commision was used to justify our division having it. Plus if you rode in it you were stuck with a bunch of asskissing toadies from the division.

I actually like it, being a very pedestrian 5'-9" who has shrunk to closer to 5'-8", when someone asks me at the store to reach up for something.

I've had to go all kid on a monkey bars to reach some stuff at Menards. I've no idea what they are thinking with some of their shelving/stack in some of their small stuffs isles.

I used to climb shelves. I'm not very good at that anymore. I have a half-dozen step-stools distributed in the rooms in my house.

Some of them are, but four of them at least are married and at least one is a father.

Wow. Has he been their coach for that long?

I was going to say with BYU it is a little different.

Between starting 2 redshirt seniors, a redshirt junior, a true junior and a sophomore and most of the roster having taken mission year(s) they are easily the oldest team in the league.

Why? Because corgis...

Well… everything looked good no perforated eardrum. Dr is stumped. Doesn’t want to rule out that it could have been aneurysm. May have to get a CT scan to see. Kinda scary but I’m not going to worry about it to much yet.

That would be fairly rare. It’s most likely an infection or from minor trauma from using a Q-tip wrong. Was the blood dry or wet on the Q-tip, how far in was it, and how much?

I’m sure your primary did a thorough history but did you fly or go swimming before it happened? Sometimes pressure changes can cause it. I’m assuming it hasn’t continued?
