Disturbed by this new change to the ISU football uniform

Thinking about moving out of Iowa
After grad school I moved to Wenatchee, WA for a term (18 month) job. Had no plans on staying. Thirty-two years later, we're still here. Wenatchee is ideally located in the rain shadow of the Cascades. It's dry here, but you can be in sage brush and wheat fields to the east, and it's a 10 minute... -
Return from Rehab
Thank you for sharing, and keep up the hard work of staying healthy! Life happens. We all deal with loss and regret in different ways. But for me I tell myself that all I can can do is keep living, learn from the past, and try to become a better person. Focus on the future as there is nothing to... -

Easement question
Depending on how long that fence has been over the line, you probably technically could take ownership of it (and the property it sits on) by adverse possession. Probably not worth pursuing unless you're neighbor decides to tear it down. -
Your Biggest "Coincidence"
Our first born son had a short term blood disorder. Turned out to be a genetic incompatibility between my wife and me. Any subsequent pregnancies would be high risk. Three years later we decided it was decision time, consulted with the doctors, and decided against having another child. No tears... -
Viking cruise
For anyone like me who isn't interested in big cruise ships, take a look at the Katarina Line Croatian Wilderness Cruise. It's an 18 cabin boat that island hops to various swim spots and small towns. Food is amazing, water is amazing, history is amazing. Highly recommend. -
Project Cars/Trucks
Back in the '90s there was a Datsun 240Z rusting away on the street in my neighborhood. I became obsessed with buying it, but the old lady wouldn't sell it. The car hadn't moved in 19 years, so it was actually a good thing that i didn't end up with it. Instead I ended up buying a 1972 240z in... -
Kids leaving the nest - how to cope?
Sent two boys off to college four years apart. Youngest is graduating college in December. It's hard. But, it seems like parents adjust to the empty nest pretty quickly. In addition to missing them, you have the stress of not knowing how they are doing. My biggest worry was the social... -
What's streaming that's good TV/movies
Same here. Based on recommendations in this thread, I started the first episode about a month ago. I stopped watching after the first 10 minutes, thinking that it just wasn't what i was looking for. I picked it up again this past friday and finished the last episode sunday. Really good! Really... -
Dumbest Thing You Believed
The interesting thing about electric fences from my childhood.... No matter what, if your city friends asked you if the fence was on, and you said no, they almost ALWAYS had to go over and touch it. They couldn't just take your word for it. And of course, the fence was DEFINITELY on.- PineClone

Dumbest Thing You Believed
I believed that there was a "God" until my parents made me go to Lutheran confirmation classes during summer break. Didn't take long for me to figure out it was all a bunch of BS.- PineClone

I’m an introvert, do I need help?
Here's something that I never knew until recently about some introverts...Our son (age 21) is an introvert. However, when he's in a public setting with his friends, he is very much an extrovert. When he interacts with others, he is very animated, takes part in the conversations, and is extremely... -
Revisionist history of the 07-08 ISU basketball season
I don't recall how good Thigpen was as a freshman, but i often think "what if" Sam Mack is on that 89-90 team with Victor, Woods, Collins, Thigpen, Doerf, and others.- PineClone
