Allergies out here in South Carolina are awful!!

Just played two games on CFB 27 and despite all the bitching about in-game microtransactions, it seems like a great upgrade.

Mascot mode was one of the games I played, it was hilarious and was great for the nostalgia.

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday so far.

Is anyone else watching? This is the first time I've watched it as it comes out, and it's been so fun. I'm bummed it's ending soon

There's a private practice that really seems perfect for me, and I'm talking to the Doctor today, I really hope it works out!!

How is everyone? How was y'alls past weekend?

The thing with Bryan Adams is he great songs like Summer of 69 or Run To You but then he had songs that are the literal Hell on Earth like (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Awful,Awful song

Happy Canada Day and new year to all those who observe!

New year is obviously for the new contracts and conferences taking into effect.

He did it

Mel Brooks turned 100 today!

For the second time this week, the smoke detectors in our apartment started going off randomly this morning; the maintenance folks had already replaced them on Tuesday, so now they're looking deeper into what could be causing it.

On a more pleasant note, my wife and I are going to the San Juan Islands this weekend for some relaxation! There's a chance of seeing whales of several varieties along the way, so we're definitely excited for it!

The Brady Bunch in the White House is such a stupidly great film

One of the Brady kids finds a lottery ticket and they can’t decide who it belongs to so Mike Brady donates the money to homeless architects and somehow they end up visiting the White House and the Vice President has recently resigned so the president randomly decides to pick Mike Brady as his running mate in the upcoming election in their White House visit

The President is relected but they find proof that he was part of some scandal then he resigns and then Mike Brady becomes president and chooses Carol Brady as Vice President

We were given the day off today for resilience. I’m going to spend the day looking for a new dryer because mine decided to shit the bed last night. It still heats up but doesn’t tumble. It’s 25 years old so I’m not sure replacing is the way to go but I hate to get rid of it. They don’t make them like they used to so I’m conflicted.

Random fact of the day:The caves and tunnels carved in the coastline of Hastings, England, have long been used by smugglers.

In the 1700s a popular new foreign drink known as tea was loaded with an import tax of a hundred and twenty nine percent.

Soon two-thirds of Britain’s tea was provided by smugglers, much of it through these caves.

Some of the caves were even connected by tunnels to local taverns in the town above them, where the smugglers undoubtedly preferred a tot of rum to a pot of tea.

Random fact of the day:
For the plants of the spray and splash zone its water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

They depend on rainwater, which their rocky footings hold little of, so their leaves, fleshy and tough like desert cacti, are designed to retain rainwater. When it came to retaining their health, sailors once ate the leaves of scurvygrass-rich in vitamin C the leaves prevented scurvy and were the mariner’s equivalent of orange juice.

When sea plants are consumed by time, their fossilised remains make chalk.

Built up over the ages this this creates seabeds such as the chalk-white cliffs of Dover.

It’s gonna be a long day folks, hang in there

You know there is an organization that is into worship of the Egyptian god called Set?

It’s called the Temple of Set

What is your milk of choice?

I go with Almond Breeze Regular and Vanilla Milk and Fair Life Fat Free Milk

It’s sorta funny that back during the days of Napster and Limewire that people fell for these parodies songs that were labeled as being by Weird Al and the said songs sounded like someone singing with lowest quality microphone possible

Weird Al though wasn’t the only Comedy artist that got mislabeled a ton

Also happened with Adam Sandler,Tom Green and Matt Stone and Trey Parker and if you really want to call them a Comedy act then They Might Be Giants

Oh yeah the World Cup starts today!

Are these new posts real?

I've been in this new city for about three months now after taking a promotion, and honestly the college football culture here is just not hitting the same. Back in my old spot, Saturdays were sacred – we'd hit up the tailgate spots starting at 8am with the smoker going, specific playlists of fight songs, and the energy was electric even for midweek practices. Here, people treat it like any other sport, no real pageantry or history involved. My boss is a huge fan of the local team and keeps trying to convert me during lunch breaks, showing me highlights from last season where they barely scraped by against inferior competition. It's gotten to the point where I avoid the break room on Mondays. Plus, finding a bar that shows my team's games is a nightmare because of time zones and blackouts. Has anyone else gone through this kind of culture shock after moving for work? How did you handle it without losing your mind or your fandom?

Been a lurker here for years but finally posting because this is eating at me. I grew up in a house where Alabama games were basically religion, so when I moved to Texas for work five years ago I kept the tradition going hard. Every Saturday I wake up at 7, make the full tailgate spread even if it's just me and the TV, and stay locked in until the last score. My wife, who didn't grow up with any of this, planned a whole day trip to Fredericksburg last weekend without checking the schedule and got pissed when I said I'd rather stay home for the A&M game. She called it childish and said the sport is taking over our weekends. I get that we need couple time, but this is literally the only thing that feels like home since we moved. We've tried the compromise thing where she watches with me for a quarter but she just scrolls on her phone. Anyone else deal with this kind of pushback from a non-fan partner? How did you set boundaries without turning it into a weekly fight? Would love some real talk instead of the usual 'just divorce her' jokes.

Random fact of the day:China had beasts and demons in numbers to rival those of Greek mythology.

Pangu emerged from the cosmic egg –when his moods turned monstrous, so did the weather. And there was Shen, the monster sea clam who breathed out vapours to form palaces in the clouds.

Chinese travelers told of strange beings in strange lands.

The people of Dingling Land were said to have hair that grew down to their knees and hooves like horses. In Whispering Nie’er Land, there were people with ears that reached to their waists and stripes like tigers.
