I was able to reconnect with some because of Facebook, we'll message each other often. We never had a ten year reunion and it doesn't look like a twenty year will happen this year so facebook has been helpful in connecting with those I care to.

I will play the Show '18 for the first time tomorrow. My wife and youngest son are going on an overnight school field trip. So we'll spend the afternoon playing the game.

That's a pretty good list.

Molitor is one of my favorite Brewers of all time. I was sad when he left the Brewers but was happy for him when he finally was on a team that won the world series.

Yeah, the Brewers were swept by the Cubs.

Infinity War is in the upper half for me for sure, but I need to see it again

I want to see again before rating it, but yeah it would be in the top 4 for me.

I was the opposite with Civil War. I liked it better the second time I watched it. To me Iron Man and Captain America (to a lesser extant Bucky and Black Panther) were played well in those films of the seriousness when fighting each other. The other heroes were not trying to hurt each other too much so to me the goofy factor made some sense.

People around here get excited when the Brewers have a winning streak. There is a local burger franchise that gives away free hamburgers if they have a 12+ game winning streak. 1987 was the only time it happened and I remember the long wait for the free burger.

Yeah I think the show did a decent job of fleshing out Apu's character. Like you said the show has been on for a long time and to now make a big deal about it seems a little weird. As a Mexican-American I am not offended about the Bumblebee man, I understand it is a caricature for comedic effect. That being said, if they retire the character or tone down the stereotypes it would be fine as well.

I also gotta say... I was at macy's for a good 45 minutes, went to the dressing room a couple times (also bought a couple pairs of shorts) and their soundtrack absolutely shredded.
highlights were:
Head Over Feet by Alanis Morissete
DJ Khaled - I'm The One ft. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance (I non ironically like this song)
Mr. Brightside by the Killers

I don't like Alanis Morissete's music but that is the only song of hers I like. It is actually one of my favorite songs.

I'm like an old man now when it comes to video games, I don't play as much or know much about the latest games. My kids play minecraft and I do know they make some kind of circuits and logic gates. They were explaining it to me but I didn't understand what they were fully explaining. I don't know how complex they were to build but it was interesting.

That is something I should ask the principal at my kids' school. When they first got more computers in the classes and media center they told us parents there were a limit of what pages they have access to and couldn't play games on them. Two weeks later pretty much everyone is going on youtube and playing Minecraft. Now kids down to 1st grade are playing the Five Nights at Freddy's games.

I use the leftover bones and skin to make chicken broth, it tastes better than using a regular chicken.

I did senior year in high school with two girls I met at a weekend field trip with other schools from the state. We got walked in by two of my classmates (one male, one female). The girls asked if they wanted to join, my female classmate said she would do it if the male classmate did. He said no (she had a crush on him he didn't have one on her).

Not really. Just like with books or movies, if a game just doesn't seem fun to me I don't feel I need to finish it. That being said I still have Silent Hill 4 that I never opened yet, despite buying it the week it came out because it was on sale and I told myself I will get around to it. One day I will.

So far this season the first two games were called off due to weather. I work more with pitchers on the team, I tell them that since fouls can cause a strike out pitching more on the outside when getting the last strike because if they don't swing historically the ump calls a strike. If they make contact it most likely goes foul.

Yeah they were okay, at least the little bits I played while working at Gamestop when no customers were in the store.

Raising Cane's is great. I really love DQ ice cream but I don't actually know their hot food very well.

DQ ice cream is good, but do they have Coldstone where you guys live? that ice cream is incredible

It was okay. We had more around here but a lot of them closed down. The ice cream I like best is from The Chocolate Shoppe. It is based out of Madison, but has locations in several states.

We are going to have a mix of precipitation here. Maybe an inch of snow when said and done. My kids softball team that I help coach on have their first game of the season this weekend. We'll see if it is canceled. Last year due to weather they only got to play 3 out of the 7 scheduled games and the day of the tournament got canceled due to weather.

The thing you seem to be overlooking is that until recently Disney/Marvel has pushed Iron Man a lot harder than their more well known characters. Look what happened with the Fantastic Four. At one point they stopped the comic so people would be less exposed to them. They also have done similar with the X-Men. With that being said Spider-man is as popular as ever without the same push that Disney gave to Iron man.

No. I grew up really poor and lived well below the poverty line at the time. Ever since I started working I had been very frugal with my money. I still live very thrifty like when I was growing up. My wife has also been good with managing money.

I hate to sound like I'm bragging and I try and make sure my kids work for their money and save it. I have paid them for their chores by "direct deposit" and they pay for things with fake checks I've made so they learned at a young age how to balance a check book.

The name of said city? No one except people from the Maryland, Texas, and few other places can pronounce Bowie... It sucks. The pronunciation is like the word buoy(U.S. version, I guess)...

Bo-ee?

Wausau

But feel free to look up Wisconsin city names. There are a lot no one outside of Wisconsin seem to be able to say.

When I was buying a home I saw a video of a home in Oconomowoc and the way the realtor pronounced it was incredibly bad.

I would rank from favorite down as
NFL football
Baseball
College football
College basketball
Soccer (mostly tournament play especially world cup but will have a game on in the background if bored)
NBA basketball

Boxing goes up or down depending on how fixed it seems and right now it seems rather fixed.

I bought The Show. It's been a few years since I played it regularly and I'm extremely rusty at fielding and pitching.

Same here. I haven't had a chance to play it yet. My oldest wanted to get it since we rented last years and he really liked it. My youngest only likes the home run derby.

I dont understand how pet stores are still in business. Everything they sell is at least twice as expensive as it is on amazon, some of it is 3-4 times the price

I don't buy live fish/birds on Amazon. Plus some things are very similarly priced, at least when they have sales going on.

We had an air hockey table for a while. It was fun for a couple months and then it just turned into a giant coffee table (it had a cover)

When I was in grade school we had a program for after school to keep kids off the street. We had a really nice air hockey, Foosball, bumper and regular pool tables. It was a sad day when funding for the program ran out and the students just stared out the windows as they removed those tables along with other equipment used in the after school program.

Fowler and Pham led the game off with back to back homers. Pretty cool

The exact opposite of this just happened to end the game. Yelich and Braun back to back homers to win it. Not as cool.

I still don't like Braun after his whole drug use.
