Every time I hear “Slow Ride” I think of the last scene in “Dazed and Confused “ where Matthew McConaughey is driving to Houston to buy concert tickets.

Anyone go anywhere for the eclipse, or were you lucky enough to be in the path of totality? We went to a state park about 40 minutes north of us and got 3 minutes of totality.

I can’t see Taylor Swift doing this. She doesn’t need the money and probably wouldn’t like someone else controlling the content of anything put out about her.

Oh, for crying out loud! Give me a break!

Were you on I-270? I see these idiots on I-71 all the time. We also have issues with motorcycles/crotch rockets parading up and down High St. and last year had a bunch of cars take over Indianola Ave. at Cooke Rd. one weekend , doing burnouts and donuts and racing.

My father did that in 1944, but he was an 18 year old guiding a minesweeper across the Pacific. Being the efficient person he was, he got it to its destination ahead of schedule. He was a Navy cartographer who spent his spare time plotting ways back to Louisville using only waterways. I used to call him the human Mapquest.

My son had a baseball teammate one year who was only there because his friends were playing. He was a scrawny kid who knew nothing about the game and actually wore sandals to one practice. He used to wear a pink T-shirt that said “Real men wear pink “. He wound up winning a world title in Shuai Jiao when he was only 18.

UGH! That is just ridiculous.

Wonder how much he’s asking for, and how is Pisspuke cap wise?

They can have him. I’d rather have Vonn Bell.

But unless we meet them in the playoffs, we're not even scheduled to play the Bills or Texans this year. We do need to figure out how to beat the rest of the AFC North since that is six games of our schedule.

Shouldn't Logan Wilson be on this list? He was drafted the same year as Burrow, right?

I like the sound of that.

This should be LaRosa's, not Donato's. This is blasphemy.

That was my husband’s comment when I mentioned this. “He’s old.”

So, my son may be a Browns fan, but he knows what I like. This was one of my Christmas presents. We just found them in a pile of mail that was opened but I guess I didn’t see them. 😂

That’s what our neighbor did. He died doing something he loved. I quit playing softball some years back, but would like to get back into it. I still do 8-10 mile bike rides when the weather is cooperative.

Hardly. Speaking of volleyball at Flanagan’s Pub: Sad but true story. We had a long time neighbor 3 doors down from us. Nice guy-Browns and Indians fan. We’d see him walking his dogs and he would stop by our yard sales every year and he and hubby would talk sports. He ran a business out of his house, so we would save our padded mailers for him to reuse. Anyway, a few years ago, he was playing volleyball at Flanagan’s one really warm Labor Day, had a heart attack, and died. He was in his early 60’s.

I hope your friend is cherishing this time with his daughter. Parenthood goes way too fast. I’m also guessing his blood pressure is a lot lower.

Ding ding ding 🛎️!

I won’t be voting for either of these decrepit old crooks, either. Unfortunately, I am married to a political science major so I constantly am subjected to political discourse (mostly on Faux News) so I am a gadfly by proxy. Also, I do find it amusing that Senator Katie Britt, who delivered the Republican rebuttal, did it from her kitchen table, cross around her neck, while praising Trump, who is easily one of the least Christian men you will ever encounter. I will never comprehend the evangelical Christians’ love for this man. (Except that he was fortunate enough to be able to appoint 3 judges to the Supreme Court, with help from Mitch McConnell, who then overturned Roe vs. Wade). I guess to evangelical Christians, it’s OK to sexually assault women, discriminate against people in housing, cheat on your wife, commit fraud in business, and call people “vermin”, as long as you get Roe vs. Wade overturned. 🙄

So, I won 4 tickets to the Columbus Fury game (Professional Women’s Volleyball) for Monday’s game. The word I had to text to win them: Burrow. (Joe Burrow is an investor on this league.) 😂

I know she was never going to be a factor, but I still hate to see it. And of course, Trump can't be gracious in his acknowledgement of her dropping out. He has to be his usual, bombastic, narcissistic, asinine self. I hate that our choices are two decrepit, old crooks. 334 million plus people in this country and this is the best we can do to choose the leader of the free world? UGH!!

As an education/societal values institution, absolutely. Even when I was in junior high and I knew I was going there, I knew it was better than the local public high school. I took Driver’s Ed at my local high school with some of my friends and the building was in not as well maintained and the students were not nearly as respectful. I will say that at the high school I attended (and it was an all girl school) the level of cattiness was comparable. That comes with any large group of teenage girls. I also know that not everyone’s experience there was positive. I have friends who were on scholarship and their memories are not as good. That still goes on today. Private schools are great if your child can handle a lot of structure and discipline, but if not, they’re going to have issues. We debated sending our son to the Catholic high school in our neighborhood after he spent elementary and middle school in the public schools and I vetoed it. He wound up at the local high school and did just fine and even had opportunities to do some dual credit (high school and college credit) courses online that he would not have been able to do at the Catholic school.

Gee, you think?
