If you move beyond the local FM station playing Mariah Carey on repeat for two months, there's a wealth of pretty good Christmas music to be found with a little digging. The problem is that it takes some effort to find stuff that isn't just the 100,000th cover of O Holy Night so sometimes it's easier to just turn on the Warren Zevon or ELO and pretend like you're Jewish.

was looking for a warren zevon reference i made a while back and this post turned up...have to bump just for a zevon/elo rec...amazing, there can't be very many of us lol

One of my best friends had Stage 3 colon cancer at 26. He had been slightly symptomatic since college, and it was only his wife's intervention (newly married) that forced him to get checked out. He ended up having a colectomy, and <knock on wood> he's luckily been free of cancer since.

Crazy...a 26-year-old having colon cancer. I remember hearing that his doctor had recently (at that time) been seeing quite an uptick in colon cancer diagnoses among younger men. Not cool at all. 

That's horrible...wife saved his life no doubt

Folks, I'd like a fresh start. I wanna put every bad post I've done in the garbage and wipe the slate clean. Committed to getting better--I am so sorry for all my mischief and the mess yesterday and...every other bad post made the rest of the time--I'm kinda sick about all of it. This forum doesn't need my antics. Taking all criticism under consideration and reflection. I think I can be better...need to just process stuff better. Have a blessed day.

it's a weather forum, relax man

I was supposed to get mine at 45 because my mother had colon cancer.  I didn't and my Dr. now says that I have to get it at 52, which was 10 years before she had it........I think I need a new Dr. 

yeah that’s bad…my mom died from colon cancer in her 50s so I got my first colonoscopy at 35

IIRC, with all the fantastic stats that Harden has racked up over the years, he has never been on a team that won a championship (the same issue seen with people like Allen Iverson or Patrick Ewing).  So as long as Embiid doesn't get injured and given where they stand at the moment (even without any Simmons at all this season), and if the chemistry works out somehow (with Harden becoming the sort of "vet" of the team), then he could help propel the '76ers into the playoffs.  IMHO, Simmons probably never wanted to be here in the first place and we ended up with what we got...

it's a gamble and Morey is staking his career (at least in philly) on it but it should be fun

They had to overpay to be done w/diva Simmons and his lofty contract. Imagine having a salary of 35mil/yr and opt to stay home? I could hate everyone in the organization, people throwing rocks/hand grenades on my way to work and I'd still go. 

Correct and most people don't know this but is huge. Harden is only under contract though next season. My guess is if the Sixers don't win a championship this year or next they won't extend Harden which is great and move on since he'll be 35. Hell, they saved money this year fining Simmons more than 20mil for not attending practices, meetings and such. 

agreed on all counts

wish they didn’t have to give up Seth or Drummond but they’ll pick up a center in the buyout market…Seth will be tougher to replace but I guess they are counting on joe  to keep progressing…overall it was more than I thought they’d have to give up but it defintiely makes them better now and the fact that Harden is reportedly opting in for next year is actually huge…I’m excited to see what harden can do…

how much for dalmatia, pillow area, pa?

Haven’t been out to measure yet, but looks 5-ish” from the house. Temp down to 17F, pure powdered sugar blowing around out there.

Any word on MacChump and if his non-shovel-touching streak is in jeopardy?

Lol. Used the snowblower instead so technically the streak is alive but I guess that’s really against the spirit of the streak.

Never heard of Sapwood until I just saw your pic in the other thread. But told my wife we MUST plan a day trip to Ten Eyck....I keep hearing so many good things about that brewery.

went there in october based on recommendations here and it was really good, worth spending an afternoon there for sure

Decided to end Drynuary tonight...for no other reason than I just want a bourbon followed by an IPA.

Probably going with a Blanton's to start, followed by one of the Other Half beers I got from a release at DTC a couple weeks ago in preparation for this day. Might get on it pretty good for the US-Canada World Cup Qualifier on Sunday afternoon!

solid plan all the way around

There’s a lot that I remember. You were the first to get a storm right in February 2004? Maybe 2005?  I suck at dates. But it was a rain or snow call and there was a wall of snow that stopped at Ji’s house. It was the last time I remember him happy, but he’s on ignore now, so what do I know. But when the wall finally caved, we all got a great, unexpected snowfall. It was a Saturday. I know that because I went to a potluck dinner with the best bunch of red neck crabbers in Delmarva down on the Gunpowder River. Ate oysters and drank beer in the snow. 

as a wise man once said, give me oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year and i'll feel fine

also: probably for the best that i missed all of the weeper stuff yesterday lol

I just heard from a member here who told me that another member of this particular forum supposedly went to another members house and assaulted them over them calling this storm a bust.  Anyone know who this idiot might happen to be or even if there’s truth to this rumor?  

This is from the philly forum, obviously posted there by mistake…pretty sure he meant to post it here lol

Imma leave it at this: nobody here should ever fear being "punished" for speaking up to me because I have some dumb admin tag.  As long as it's not disruptive, you can call me a dick or whatever.  See snowfan's comment above.  He said what he said and absolutely nothing should or will happen to him.  He and everybody else here is free to express their opinions and i promise you that I won't use this weather board power (lol) on anybody.  We are not above anybody here.  I'm only an admin because I was a co-founder of the place.  That's it.  There's no board in their right mind that would make me an admin or mod.   I have never banned anybody for going at it with me and I never will.
