    Winning Time

    If I missed a thread about this I apologize. I figured there was one but I haven't seen it. Who is watching the HBO show about the showtime Lakers? I read a pretty scathing review before I checked it out but regardless of the accuracy or other issues, I'm loving it. I like the genre, the...

    Why do you think the team is doing so poorly this season?

    Just curious if there is a consensus on what happened between 2020 and 2021. I'm as disappointed as anyone but now I'm trying to figure out if there's a particular culprit, or everything just slipped.

    Listen online and mobile?

    Where can I get the local broadcast? Many stations won't stream out of market because I guess they don't want me hearing those ads. Tune in is supposed to work but doesn't. Anyone know a sure fire mobile option? Thanks

    Too lazy to get it linked but Dan Greene at SI picked 8 teams that could win the national title and the cyclones were his required 'outside the top 15' pick.

    Food Inc.

    Not a new show but I've just seen it. Does not paint a pretty picture of the food industry, factory farming or most of the companies involved. I'm sure there are some slants but when money becomes the end, the means get sketchy fast. Lots of the greed and exploitation being discussed in other...

    Moving with kids

    There is lots of advice on the web, but my stress compels me to reach out to real people I feel like I know. CF is awesome for that sometimes. Anyway, heres the gig - We have no time table or specific destination yet but it seems fairly likely we will be moving this year. If for no other...

    WTB - Mens Basketball Warm up shirt

    I've been looking for a ISU pullover (long sleeve) for a while and haven't found much that I like. Scheels selection last time I was in DSM was awful for anything not a T, sweat or golf shirt. Anyone know where to buy the shirt that the mens team wore on the bench? Otherwise any other nice...

    Used car pricing

    We are in the market for a used car as our daughter will need to drive our crapper between her two HS campuses this fall. I'm still wide open on what to buy but I have noticed some odd issues as relates to pricing. In comparing two seemingly reasonable sources, Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book, the...

    Prolonged illness/injury

    I need to vent a little frustration and CF is as good a place as any. I've been essentially laid up for over a month now. Off work, not able to do much, can't help around the house or enough with the kids. Work on the house, maintenance, etc is piling up as well. I'm at a loss with what to...

    Selling old appliances

    We are going to be buying a new fridge soon and I have a question for anyone with experience. The place we are buying from will haul away our old fridge for free but I am wondering if I could get 50-100 bucks for it on Craigslist. I have plenty of experience selling there so its not about...

    I don't care that its not Friday yet Beer Thread

    Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour. Wow, that was some tasty stuff that I stumbled on to. If you get the chance, give it a try. They have it on tap at the Max and Joes side of the Crescent Moon in Omaha, which, by the way is a great bar all around if you haven't ever been there. Back to...

    I have a Sienna with a roof rack and a need for extra luggage space. Last year I borrowed a hard side carrier and am looking at getting my own for our family vaca this year.

    wii games for young kids

    Anyone found any really good wii games for young kids (under 5). Mine try to play our sports and games ones but most have several motions and require release of buttons to throw things, etc. They can get a few of these but mostly they just get frustrated and lose interest. If anyone has found...

    Maybe someone here can tell me what I'm missing or verify that I'm correct, or even that lightbulbs are extrememly defective! Anyway, here's the deal. The lone bulb in our fridge finally goes out, prompting my wife to think the whole thing is broken but thats another story. Anyway, I pick up...
