I'm back, taking questions
- Thread starter Villanova U
- Start date
Looking great. They didn't grow as much as they could have this year due to the crippling drought, but they are already doing their job. 1-2 more years and they will be money.
Would you ever consider that stomach stapling surgery?
Why do you think Chris Christie had no success with it?

I haven't read the board much since I left, except in the last week or so as I was mulling my return, so I can't really say much about what he has or has not been doing. I kind of expected him to be dead by now. Is ncaaball still around?
If I was overweight and couldn't stop eating, then I would consider it. It seems to work for a lot of people.
I think Christie hasn't had success with it because he probably still eats like garbage and I bet he's on the road a lot.
No, I wouldn't know what to do if I was in shitlaw. I'd probably quit the law before I ended up in a practice area like that.
How many times do I need to hit refresh before I see another question? A hundred?
Does the Fiesta still Fiesta or are you now a bunch of has beens with jobs you dread, wives you are tired of bedding down with and spare tire waistlines?
as time goes by, do you have any further thoughts on villanova's demise in the 2015 NCAA tournament?
We still get together from time to time for dinner, a bbq, weddings, basketball games, etc. I still count my college friends among my closest circles of friends. None of us are has beens to my knowledge.
A shockingly low number of us are married. Most of them are still living the bachelor life in the city, although we are past 30 now.
That NCState game was one of the low moments of my life, and the reason I left the board. I mostly blocked it out, but it seems to me like it was just a combination of bad shooting and some poor lineup choices at critical times. I don't know what the solution is, but I find it curious that these sort of things seem to happen to us with more regularity than other schools. It's one thing to get beat by some hot-shooting mid major, it's another thing to toss up bricks against a very beatable team with 11 regular season losses.
A fairly heavy girl once in Fedigan. The one and only girl I've been with that probably weighed more than me. Never again.
I will note that I college I weighed about 135 pounds, so it's not like she was THAT fat, but in my life I have limited my encounters to very petite women.
Edit: tjc.
DMill disappeared? Man, this place is really going downhill. I will miss him. This board needs to keep its heads of state if it is going to survive.

On a scale of one to 911, rate the Remembrance level in town yesterday.
If the 2015 Yankees were an adult film star, who would they be?

Good to see you too, ND. I mostly buckled down at work with the time that I usually spent on the board during workdays. As far as personal time, I impregnated my wife (which likely wouldn't have happened if I stayed on vusports) and also learned to play the ukulele.
Summer cycling has been miserable. I ignored it in the beginning of the year because I was focusing on my golf game. About 5 weeks ago I shut down golf and started to get on the bike again, in order to prepare for a big ride that was actually yesterday. In a post-ride stupor, I drove into the garage with the bike on the roof rack, thus ruining the bike. The company that I bought it from was generous enough to send me a replacement frame at a discounted rate, but the shipping was slow and then the bike shop that I took it to in order to build it up was closed labor day week. I finally got it back last week, took a quick shakedown ride on Saturday, and then took it to my local shop (not the weird shop that built it) for some adjustments. They said it was built completely improperly, requires a 12 hour job to disassemble and reassemble it, and the frame may have been ruined because some bolts were overtightened onto carbon fiber. So, I ended up missing my big ride, have a potentially ruined frame that's in the shop again, and am into this project for about the same amount of money as a brand new bike. So, I've been pretty depressed over it.
I put new rear brakes on my car two weeks ago. It also got new tires but I needed to take it to a tire shop for that.
Bartsools: proper.
"Grundle": under.
Wretsling: Over.
Sambuca: under. Love this stuff, especially in hot chocolate on a fall morning.
Hamburglar: proper.
Platinum: over. Just because it's rare/expensive doesn't mean it's good. Very brittle.
Chevrolet: Over. American cars are getting better, but still lag their foreign counterparts and survive only due to the patriotism of stupid middle americans.
Athletic supporters: Over.
Goalkeepers: Proper.
I walked through the memorial twice yesterday, as I do every day on my way to and from work. I didn't stay for any of the ceremonies, but I'm sure they were properly done as usual.
The 2015 yankees would be Riley Reid. You don't expect much of her, but then she ended up having a really nice career (5 years in the business so far is the equivalent to the yankees being in first place the majority of the year). In mid-august, she got screwed in the butt.
I haven't seen anyone working from home yet. Two people I work for are currently on an international flight, and I just got an extension in one of my cases. So not much going on. I will probably work from home tomorrow since I have carpet guys coming to fix a bad installation they did over the weekend.

Congrats on the pregnancy. When? Gender? Do you think it will change you? How? What % increase in your p'nog viewing do you expect during the gestation period?
I think most serious cyclists have driven their bikes into a garage/drivethru at some point. Do you take your bike to the shop for all work? Do you do some yourself? Where do you draw the line?
Would I be in over my head if I tried to put new brakes on my car?
Best part about new Yankee Stadium? Worst?

Probably watching football because I usually go to my in-laws on Thanksgiving and they are big football fans.
She is due end of February, it's a boy. I think it will change me but I'm nor sure how. Pornog viewing has already increased by about 20%.
I take my bike to the shop for a lot of work because it takes me a lot of time to do it myself. I can screw and unscrew things, adjust brakes, etc., but for some reason I can't seem to ever adjust the shifting the right way, and I don't know how to run cables myself. Bottom brackets, headsets, and things that require a press and/or specialized tools are pretty lost on me. I usually take it to the shop in the spring for a major tuneup, and then I keep it adjusted during the year myself.
You probably wouldn't be over your head, it's a job that most people can do themselves and all you need is a jack. You can watch instructions on youtube for your exact model car, and save a hell of a lot of money. The only problem is that if you screw something up, your car isn't going to have any brakes, so you are going to have to pay for a tow to get it to a mechanic.
Best part of Yankee stadium is the fact that it's not old yankee stadium. Worst part is that it's still not that good.

Are you up to speed on the obriend1 ordeal? If so, please provide your opinion on the matter.
I have an 90 year old relative in an end of life situation this week. Best strategy: round the clock vigil or let them go privately?
What is the correct name for small ice chunks with colored sugary flavoring? sno-cone, water ice, italian ice, slushie, shaved ice or other?
Have you had any tense confrontations on public transit lately?

She will revert in body type for sure (she is under Dr.'s orders not to exercise, and already misses it sorely). I don't know how her demeanor will change.
I thought "this is going to cost me" because there was damage to the bike and the car. I was immediately focused on calling my insurance carrier, and also on showering and eating something because I had house guests that were on their way at th etime.

Just did some new carpet in the den, and put a patio on the back in the springtime. The next project is going to be finishing the basement and a half-assed downstairs bathroom that is off of the den, which we will probably do this winter.
Pope Francis: Proper
Photography: Over, over, a million times over.
Cumin: Under
Murdered Out: The fad is over. It happened with bikes too. It was overrated.
Work/Life Balance: Under.
