    Friday OT: The "wedding" Bells of Iowa State?

    I met my wife at Iowa State. I also have two brothers, a sister, and a niece that met their significant others in Ames. I'm curious to hear how common this is amongst fellow CFers. And, it's the offseason, so embarrasing stories are encouraged.

    New changes in postmark regulations

    I hadn't heard about this until a co-worker mentioned it to me, so I figured I'd pass it along to my fellow Clones. I've always been a "hold IRS payments until the last minute" kinda guy, but I guess I need to adjust my thought process a bit...

    Friday OT: These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside

    We haven't had a good thread about dreams in awhile. Whatcha got? I finally stopped having the one about missing my college finals or forgetting where the final was being held. That sucker went on for about 20+ years after I graduated. Now, I barely remember any dreams. Does anyone else dream...

    Friday OT - Pack Rats

    I have a couple trips planned for the year and I've come to realize that my wife and I have vastly different packing goals. She'll make a list far in advance. She'll pack a pharmacy. She'll pack at least 1.5X more clothes than needed most times. She'd pack our mattress if she could. I'll...

Big XII notes: - ISU stays strong at #3 - Houston up to #6 - KU moves UP a spot after losing at home to Houston (makes sense when you look at what happened around them) - Tech and WVU wave at each other as Tech...

    Friday OT - Lost Cause

    I'm pretty good with directions in general, but I've still had moments when I get off a quarter of a turn and can't get my bearing straight. Was there a time in your life where you were lost to a point of panic? Were you alone? How did you handle it?

    Blowout wins/losses in sports

    Blowouts happen in sports at every level. Having been on both sides as a sports fan and father, I generally tend to not enjoy them from a spectator standpoint as much as competitive games. However, there are certainly exceptions. What are you favorite/most hated blowout losses? Any level...

    Friday OT: Holiday hangover

    How long do you leave up your Christmas tree, decorations and/or lights? For lights, how long do you leave them on at night after Christmas? It seems like some neighborhoods shut it down almost immediately after Christmas, while others stay lit for weeks afterwards. I wondered if there was...

    Thankfully, there are other streaming services, but it still sucks a bit. We can watch the same 30 seconds over and over.

    Friday OT #2 - Maybe I'll Parent Better Next Year

    Did you bonk your kid's head on the ceiling throwing them in the air? Did you step on their favorite toy and break it? Did you back over their scooter in the driveway? Did you accidentally feed them pears even though they are allergic? Did you shrink their favorite sweatshirt? These completely...

    Teams that burn you in the NCAA Tournament

    What teams tend to destroy your bracket in your NCAA pools? "All of them" is the easy answer, but I seem to ride the fail train when picking Tennessee, Purdue, Gonzaga, Duke and every single Pac 12 team. Who has been your Achilles Heel for years?

    San Francisco/Santa Cruz/Monterey

    We're heading out that way for a short get-a-way. The wife and I were out there many years ago and had a great time. We're bringing a teenage daughter with us this time.

    I Lost at the Spelling Be

    Since the Scripps Spelling Bee just came to its conclusion, I figured this was a good time to reopen old wounds. I can easily forget things that actually matter, but I will never forget the stupid words I missed at spelling bees when I was younger. I wanted to see if I was alone in my pain. I...
