marginally better than if it drained out onto your floor or basement (my last dishwasher festouche required five visits to fix)...(not to alarm you)..

I am hearing that people in the little blue bird 'verse harassed one player enough after last night he deleted his account. Absolutely shameful.
not necessarily, though I'm sure you know if it's getting old or not...anything beyond 10 years has to be suspect (and it generally costs us $125 just to get the repair dude in the door). Our repair had to do with an old, faulty drain hose...the dishwasher itself was fine, but the first two dolts they dispatched to fix it were not up to the task...I hate broken appliances (our dryer died of old age a month ago)...the problem now being that with nowhere to go, people are buying new appliances like crazy, and lots and lots of models can't be had without a several month wait, ack!
That is ridiculous. If, as a fan, you are that invested in the outcome of a game, you need help. I'm always upset/mad/grumpy when the team loses but am able to recognize that it doesn't really change my life much at all. I continue to be disappointed for the team/players/coaches but not disappointed in them.
I watched enough of the game yesterday to feel disappointed but not enough to be upset. Sports during the pandemic have been hard to care about, except, somehow, for Primoz Roglic in the Tour de France.
New favorite event at the World Track & Field Championships (introduced in 2019), btw, the Mixed 4X400 relay, 2 males, 2 females on every team. Pull it up on the youtubes if you haven't already seen it (and if you're even remotely a track fan.)
Speaking of relays - I LOVED the luge relay event at the 2018 Winter Olympics. LOVED IT! These are the kinds of new events that make for very fun TV watching, IMHO. I am considering, post-pandemic, going to Lake Placid the next time they host a World Cup luge event.
A few more posts and we will have gained 100 on beer. Well, until they start posting again.
That's gained 100 since yesterday. If we do that everyday for a month, we'll have re-earned our thread name.
I have deep thoughts about this (shocker). You get to choose a team or individual to aupport and follow. This is completely voluntary. What you are entitled to as a fan is effort and good citizenship. Not one othet thing. Not wins. Not gameplan. Not personal decisions. Not coaching strategy. Nothing. And I don't think the opinions of fans about any of those things are valid. We have free will and people get to feel how they would like. But as a fan who is not the coach or a player your opinion on any of those things is as valid as your opinion on the orbit of the moon.
Co-sign. It's been such a strange a stressful year+ that I've found it's much harder to turn off my brain and engage with things like sports and movies that were previously pretty good escapism entertainment. Regardless, I've always been into sports for the fun and spectacle and not the negativity and criticism, even when my teams lose. That's probably why I always secretly liked guys like Roy and Gary Williams that other fans publicly hate --- without a fun, charismatic villain, who's Bond, you know?
French toast w/ candied pineapples, sausage, and a fried egg + the emasculating inability to solve a household appliance problem. Hell of a pendulum swing for a Sunday morning.
Cheers!
I'm pretty sure that the only thing getting most of us through the pandemic are deep thoughts. Some of them aren't that great to have to carry around with you all day, but it's what we've got.
Research question: Have all single malt distilleries managed to turn an emotion into whisky like Laphroaig has done with revenge?
For such research purposes, I had another shot of Craigellachie last night, this time in my favorite shot glass, the one with a quote painted on the side that reads, "The problem with some people is that when they are not drunk, they are sober" W. B. Yeats. I decided not to let drinking scotch out of a glass quoting an Irishman be a problem. (I had to wash the glass first as it was dusty.)
Alas, I could not assign a single emotion to Craigellachie. It's rather smooth in your mouth and doesn't kick you in the pants until you let it start trickling down your throat. So, no single emotion, in the end Craigellachie is the taste of The Equalizer, it's all fun and games until Denzel starts the clock.
How soon is too soon to eat lunch after breakfast? Asking for a friend.
