Good choice I made today skipped the 2nd half of the Vikes game got my yard done. Only 6 or 9 points scored in the 2nd half.
During church yesterday, I'd decided that I had too much to do and wouldn't watch this game after I finished lunch. By the time I'd finished lunch, the score was 24-0. I think I made the right decision and I believe that spending 3.5 hours straight with a pressure washer was preferable to watching that game.

The older daughter had a tennis tournament last weekend. The temp was over 90 according to my car with very little wind. The younger daughter had a tournament this weekend. The temp was under 60 with 15 mph wind.

Not exactly sure.

Sunday got hot. I wore jeans and a Tshirt. Had a jacket with since I thought I would be chilly. I left the jacket in the vehicle and was sweating from the sun. Was very humid on the field. Kids were as gassed as last week. Had one less. Having 16 instead of 15 to play football made a big difference apparently.

I stopped watching before that....just got to far fetched and dumb for me. I LOVE Keri Russell and still quit it.


So you made it through the full frontal of Keri pausing as she stepped out of the shower and quit? I probably should have too, at that point they were just going with pure sex to sell the show.

Has there been a study that shows how likeable a person is just going by their name?

Do people just naturally like a guy named something like Lou or Kermit over something like Jim or John?

I was pissed when I saw we were getting KC vs San Fran instead of the Vikings game. About an hour later not so much. I wouldn't have wanted to watch that mess.

I was smoking ribs so I couldn't leave the house so at least I could watch some football without getting sick to my stomach.

I started watching 3 Billboards, I need to go back and finish. What I saw was really good.

I don't know about studies, but Brians and Als have usually been a major pain my butt. Steve hasn't liked likable to me. Never met a bad George I will say.

BC name, chicks do dig it and flock to it. Always trustworthy and dependable. For women? Michelles are ones I can do without. Nickys have always been "friendly", Renees have been nice and helpful

All generalizations but what I've encountered.

Yes, you do. Very very good film. I want to see it again. McDormand and Rockwell were deserving Oscar winners.

Lou isn’t a real name. It’s like the Berenstein Bears thing. It’s all part of the simulation. No one actually is named Lou.

So it sounds like $65 is a bargain compared to $250 someone said they had to pay to get it back after being towed from the old KMart parking lot. People will never learn to read signs posted. That is private property.

Well we now have a 1 year old girl...where does the time go.

In preparation for her party yesterday we learned that there is apparently a shortage on helium and the party supply store only had enough to fill their pre-orders. The only other known place in town that had some was one of the Hy-Vees that was reportedly charging $20/balloon to fill.

A few years ago I started parking at KMart until last year when they started towing.
