I think the writer might have been giving readers a break.
Or feeding them a line, I suppose.
The thought of having kids at 100 made me cringe. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/animal-...rly-rcna199869
I remember babysitting my grandkids when I was in my 50's and thinking to myself, "how did I ever have the energy to raise kids?"
My advise, after 80 always practice safe sex. :);):p
Those kids probably aren't quite as fast. Still, it might get the parents to come out of their shell....or is that not a good thing?
A new racing thread was opened in chit-chat, so I figured we must out race the racing thread in the post race.
Isn't this thread to old to be racing. Speed kills.
That's what the tortoise said.
Speed is just a hare brained idea.
One thing that the post race has shown me is that the person who is leading, who managed to get to the lead in a very short window of time, had very little else to do.
What’s funny about this line of talk is that a sonic 3 ad popped up for me on this thread.
It took me years to get to the #2 slot whereas it took barrk a fraction of that.Quote:

If anyone is interested I started a Go Fund Me page so I could buy a dozen eggs to hide for my kids on Easter. ;)
Buy coconuts instead. You can tell them that they are hairy eggs from really BIG chickens.
I had a duck build a nest in my backyard. The eggs started hatching yesterday, so I thought they might leave today. When I got up in the morning, there was no activity, so I went to the gym for an hour or so. By the time I got back, they were all gone.
They had ducked me.
Or at least ducked out while I was away.
Had I known they were stirring, I would have skipped the gym just so that I could follow them. I was curious about how she would leave and where she would go. She couldn't get out of my fence on foot, so she would have had to fly over the fence then call the ducklings. They could get under/through the gate. But then what? The best water was about a mile distant, while the closer water was still over 100 yards away and was just a tiny stream. Which would she choose? Now I'll never know.
It's weird being the same age as old people.
You don't look old to me.Quote:

Traveling by train can be pretty nice.
We took coach the entire way. From NOLA to Chicago it was rough and particularly around Memphis the other commenters were rude and flat out disrespectful, but from Chicago to Denver it was much smoother and the commuters were much nicer and respected the rules around the non commuter car.
Sleeping was a bit rough, but certainly not unbearable.
I decided that you probably meant "commuters" in that one sentence, though commenters was probably fairly appropriate. I expect to take a train to DC next year, and will get a roomette for that, as I don't have any desire to sleep in a coach seat for several days.Quote:

To be honest, I'm surprised that the Saints picked that guy from Louisville over him. Gayle Benson needs to sell the team if she can't bring herself to fire Mickey Loomis.
The draft is such a crap shoot. Being a football fan for over 50yrs I've seen first rounders after first rounders flop. I believe Brady was a sixed round choice. Though your odds of picking a pro bowler improves with someone that has demonstrated high quality athletic skills.
Some teams do tend to produce more pro bowlers than others. Is it their drafting skills or their coaching skills?
I tend not to get very excited about the draft. The NFL is a different beast than college football. Though it does feel like the QB's coming out of college now are able to preform at an NFL level more quickly.
Hard up come with how this guy thought this was right. https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/s...ich-rcna203222
Feel bad for Sanders. The draft was rough enough without this happening to him.
Yeah, I had seen that. Really messed up.
He really needed people to tell him that was a bad thing to do?
Yeah, he was sixth round, and Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant, the final pick of the draft.Quote:

That means that EVERYBODY they face in the NFL will be about as good as the best they face in college. Hard to prepare for that.
I guess so. It's not like calling someone and asking if their refrigerator is running.Quote:

Wish you'd quit using words I have to lookup the meaning. :wave:Quote:

That's a term from biology, which is pretty much my career. I'm not sure that I've ever seen it used in any other context, but we use it a fair amount. In fact, I believe I've only seen it in aquatic biology, but I suppose I haven't spent much time elsewhere. For land creatures, sessile organisms are called plants.
I thought that might be the case. Because of the example they gave and your background.Quote:

Sometimes it's not inadvertent.
This race is posty.
Here we are in May. There is the question, "what is so rare as a day in June?", but those really aren't all that rare. Days in February, especially February 29th, are much more rare. Meanwhile April showers bring May flowers, while Mayflowers bring pilgrims. Other than that, I sank my mayo.
We may reach 90 degrees by the end of the week, it would be the third high temperature record broken so far this year.
Actually, just this spring. I don't know whether we broke any records during the winter. It felt pretty normal, to me.
I also found out that my irrigation was turned off. I don't have control of the valve. My neighbor's landscaper turns off the water when they blow out the sprinkler system in the fall, and sometimes they don't turn it back on. It's a water economy.
Postism is a real problem now.Quote:

Nothing in the Post Race should ever be taken seriously.Quote:

If we really were sirius, would we be dogging it?
I do not. I do not remember that, and I do not take it seriously. I just do not.Quote:
