It finally came up!!!
Quote from: LennG on Today at 03:06:53 PMNot to change the meaning of this topic, but some of the great 'quotes' and other meanings remind me of things.
As we get older, especially myself, there are times when I just sit back and try and recall the decisions of my life, good or bad, and think how things might have been different if I did something a different way.
You know, shoulda, woulda, and coulda.
But what I do try to do and have tried this my entire life. is no matter how stupid or messed up I might have acted or did, to keep doing that same thing is just ridiculous. As we say, we need to learn from our mistakes and hopefully improve on them. I have tried to live by this. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes, either stupidity, or just plain stubbornness has prevented me from doing this, but over the years, I have learned and I'll be damned if I do those same stupid things again.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 03:22:02 PMI like cats. We have two right now. I used to not like them before I met my wife, but I grew to like them over time as she had cats when I met her and we have had other cats since.I forgot that scene, and it made me laugh. I thought it was going to be Focker saying he milked a cat, or when the cat crapped in Jack's mother's remains. Movie was a classic
Dogs are way better in most ways, as they are more affectionate, loyal, fun, playful etc. But they are also much higher maintenance than cats. Our cats are pretty affectionate too. I know some cats are kind of unfriendly and nasty, but not ours. There are nasty dogs too.
I am reminded of this scene from "Meet The Parents." I find it amusing:

Quote from: LennG on Today at 03:23:12 PMNot that being old enough to remember some of these people is great, but the times we lived thru, first with Elvis and then the Beatles, to put it simply, there will never be anything like that ever again. Swift has her millions and millions of fans, but the craziness that surrounded, first Elvis, and then the maniacal fans towards the Beatles. There was nothing, and will ever be anything, to compare with that --- EVER.
That is not to say, as the thread asked, who was bigger in their time, but again, the Beatles are still big today, over 60 years later.
Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 01:21:38 PMIt made me wonder what the cat sensed that night. It happened the exact time we were discussing it. Nothing the rest of the night. Cats seem to like me and will brush up against me and let me pet them. Although I've never had a cat as part of the family.
Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 09:44:34 AMI started investing in Gold when it was a contrarian play at $180 an ounce. The US Central Bank was selling Gold to keep the price low. There were several mining companies that did well over time but the real money was made in coin. Unfortunately, purchasing and storing gold bars was unattainable. The Highs and Lows of Miners is not a good long term investment.

Quote from: y_so_blu on Today at 12:17:50 AMImpossible to say, as I wasn't around for Elvis or the Beatles. And I couldn't have picked Swift out of a police lineup until she started dating Travis Kelce.
Quote from: y_so_blu on Today at 12:15:05 AMThe study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises, and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.

Quote from: Bob In PA on April 18, 2024, 02:05:52 PMThose other teams believe what I believe... pick six is good slot to be in this year. BobWhen you consider the top shelf (4 QBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, and at least 1 OT) that would all be top 1 or 2 picks in many other drafts, you can see why. Hence, if trading down, don't trade down too far unless you get a ridiculous offer that includes multiple pics in the first half of the draft, coupled with first round draft picks in coming drafts
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 18, 2024, 09:58:23 AMI think the claims of DJ being a slow processor are more the result of fans claiming they see that on film (they don't) rather than a reflection of reality. Unless you are at Greg Cosell level tape grinder (with access to the full 22), the average (and even above average fan) is not capable of discerning processing speed. I would also suggest that if fans' claims about the slow processing were true, Schoen would have never signed DJ to the contract they did.
My biggest concern with DJ moving forward is that the Giants did such a horrible job protecting him over the years he is starting to see ghosts. It's possible that DJ's ACL tear may prove to be a blessing in disguise because it gave him some time off from the beatings, and perhaps he will recover from his previous trauma. That is a big question in my mind. I'm not sure how DJ will react when he starts getting hit again. So traumas become ingrained, and I don't care how tough you are; they just keep impacting you.
