So the NFL is trying to get out in front of this concussion thing, eh?
Least surprising headline I've seen today
NFL distances itself from CTE statement
Today is Missouri's day to embarrass itself politically.
You don't always need an election for that 🙂
Says the guy from Illinois?!
Well, that all depends on your definition of "from"
Despite not having lived there in 27 years, I still consider myself "from" Minnesota 🙂
And... Touche
As do I
A gloomy, drizzly morning with a good cup of coffee and Nina Simone on the stream? I'll take it.
Same here, but with Lizzo. About the same, right?
Maybe not, but I'm likely to take your lead on this one.
Pursuant to yesterday's units of measure conversation:
My friends (her-Czech, him-Swedish) just had their baby yesterday. He sent me a message saying "Tristan was born at 9:28. 51cm and 3820grams. Mom and baby are well, but tired"
I responded with "Can you put that in American please? 😉 20 in and 8 pounds 6 1/2 ounces."
Actually, baby weight is where I know metric better. From studies I use for work, Under 2500 g is "Low Birth Weight" and under 1500g is "Very Low Birth Weight", and under 1 kg is "Extremely Low Birth Weight"
3500g is considered average (for full-term singletons), and over 4500g is "High Birth Weight". Converting those to imperial measures does not result in nice, round numbers (ascending order):
2 lb, 3 1/4 oz
3 lb, 4 7/8 oz
5 lb, 8 3/16 oz
7 lb, 11 1/2 oz
9 lb, 14 3/4 oz
This morning I was listening to a Canadian station when the weather report came on. I'm okay with Celsius, but I'll admit it caught me a little by surprise when he said that someplace was expected to get five centimeters of snow.
Take a look at your keepers and please get a decision to me as soon as possible. I am thinking the draft will be the 1st or 2nd of April, so if keepers could be selected by the 28th, that would be great.
Also, let me know your preferences for draft days and times, and I'll set something up.
Big Trains from last year have not joined, so my plan is to have Central Ill Koalas take over that teams roster and choose keepers based on that. Big Trains, if you still want to play, let me know ASAP.
If there are any questions, email me at robzk yahoo
Big Trains was mine - sorry for that tragedy Koalas.
I'm now running the legislative office for my agency and have no idea what to expect.
Meh... I'm sure my management will be suspect as well.
I created a Yahoo! bracket thing for the basketball tournament. its free and just for fun
I think spooky has one two, but I say the more the merrier! I've watched only a couple of gopher, bison, and drake's games this year, so I'll probably do the best evah!
oops. I didnt see a link
I think it was from him but I only got an email about it. Two brackets means twice the disappointment though, and isn't that what its all about? 🙂
I'm not doing any brackets this year. I just want to watch the games without any added anxiety since I ended up in the hospital for another stent when Wisconsin blew its big lead in the championship game last year.
Wattsy, I've run it for like six years, dude! And you're in it! I set it up last night.
Did I get an invite? Which site is it using?
I don't see my invite, either.
nor I, though I probably used some yahoo e-mail address I haven't checked since the last contest
I checked my horrible Yahoo email that I only ever log into to check these sorts of things, and it's not there.
I got one from "Scamp" -- I have no idea who this is.
NSIS, but that's Spookymilk.
I didn't get an invite either.
Trey played his second Majors Little League game last night. He came off the bench and walked in his only plate appearance and scored from second on a two-out single. His Astros won 8-1.
ESPN is suggesting that the White Sox go after Justin Morneau if Adam LaRoche retires. I don't know if I could handle that.
I wouldn't be happy to see him mash against us, but I wouldn't be unhappy to see him play ball gain.
Yeah, I guess it would sort of be a reverse Thome.
Our county got a shout-out from CNN as being a very important county, and then later as being a more affluent county. Of course on that second count he was comparing to St. Louis City proper, which isn't saying much.
Almost midnight. Sitting, waiting for the Girl to get her checked luggage. First (and last) time to have both kids come home for spring break.
No grad school?
Know what a grad student who can afford to take recreational trips is called? An MBA candidate.
Heh.

YES.
The fantasy keepers are finally up on the google docs site (https://goo.gl/t16gXg).
