I guess I'll give up soda too. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I was going to just do cigarettes, and then I remembered I was going to take a break from them anyway. So it's going to be chocolate and watching ANTM reruns of cycles I've already seen dozens of times.

LOL!

I always thought caffine was something to avoid when nursing a hangover. Water, Gatorade, crackers, weed are great hangover cures. I also try to eat something greasy, like french fries, because it'll line the stomach. Sex is another classic cure because the enorphins are painkillers and you will (hopefully) sweat out some booze. I like the half-beer, half 7-Up combo GAME05!

I made my boyfriend watch the beginning because I wanted to see what ths show was about after all those teasers. I thought it stunk within 2 minutes. He does great impressions, and the Seinfeld bit was right on, but I couldn't watch a full 1/2 hour, let alone a season. Poor Frank.

Me too! Did you see the unrated trailer? RE: The Bridge I watched it, and Friedmans, not long after my other post. Friedmans was a good documentary, but it just left me with a lot of information and feeling very, very sorry for the mother. And even though I thought the filmmaker did a good job showing both sides, I was still suprised to read that he believed they were innocent. The Bridge, on the other hand, was just fantastic. I found it very touching, and I loved how it was shot. I'd recommend it to almost anyone, even if they're not a documentary fan. I did not like The Fountain at all. The beginning was good but then it just lost me. Though my boyfriend hated the first part, and liked the second. I know two people who love the movie, but still I would have a hard time recommending it to anyone. I just saw this little known movie that was just released on DVD, Murder Party, and really enjoyed it. It's kind of a B-movie, slapstick horror gorefest. Another movie I recently saw was The Tin Drum. It's supposed to be a modern classic. I found it interesting, though the child porn scenes kinda bugged me out. Oh, and if you like the genre, have to agree with TLB and recommend Downfall.

There are a ton of volunteer opportunities out there. Just look on craigslist or volunteermatch, or contact local hospitals, orgs, churches, etc. Also, I was under the impression that with community sport leagues, you could become a free agent to join a team. You could always take a class, for example sign language or ceramics. (I've wanted to take those classes.) I don't hike, but like to take nature walks. One of my favorite places in WI was Lapham Peak. Maybe someone can recommend a hiking guide or forum to check out before your first time out.

The longer they put off annoucing Torre's fate, the higher the chances are of him staying. Although I guess it's a good thing for the Let-Torre-Go Yankee fans that Cashman hasn't come to his defense yet.

Can you elaborate, because all I know about managerial Torre pre-Yankees is his losing record, which I know doesn't say a lot. So I was wondering what you have seen that would classify him as a good in-game manager? Still, I believe that just because a team is talented, that doesn't change the role of a manager.

I agree, though Torre's managorial skills have been questioned for the past couple years. He is a terrible in-game manager and I will go to church and light a candle so the Brewers don't get him.

When grocery shopping during a busy time period and someone stops their wagon in the middle of the aisle to look at something. I could have just screamed today. Same woman, three different aisles.

I became a Brewers fan only 2+ years ago, and Jenkins was my favorite from the beginning. I just loved his attitude as a ball player. I agree we shouldn't pick up his option, but I'll still tear up if/when we don't. I only wish I could have seen him in his prime. I'll miss you Geoff!! packfan79, and anyone else who feels the need to criticize Jenkins in this thread: There are several threads on this forum to voice your displeasure with Jenkins (or even Yost), this is obviously one for fans to show how much he meant to them.

Besdies that, you know what else killed me today: seeing the Cubs laughing when the scoreboard showed the Brewers losing. You stay classy Chicago. were they really laughing at the Brewers or did you see something out of context? just wondering as I was not watching the Cubs' game. Not only did the annoucners say that the Braves-Brewer score was on the scoreboard, they showed it on TV, and the next shot was of Soriano and some else looking and laughing at it. I guess I just expect that behavior from Cub fans. Like I said, you stay classy.

I feel like Queen Amidala in Epsiode 3, when she tells Ani "You're breaking my heart!" What else is there to say? I'm passed the anger stage, skipped bargaining and now officially entered the depression one.

I agree, but I don't think anyone is blaming Yost for today's lost.

I don't understand how you can say this, and also say that you don't agree that "the idea of a manager is chess match stuff." Anyway, I think I understand your point. The team's losing because of poor starting pitching, in addition to poor OBP (which I would replace with defense), more than Yost's decisions. I think most would agree, but that doesn't diminish the fact that the poor decisions Yost has made has cost the team wins. The complaints about Yost is not the options he has, but how he doesn't utilizes them. And I vehenemently disagree with the position that the #1 job of a manager is managing personalities. These are professional ball players, and young ones at that. Where are the clubhouse leaders? Chemistry does not breed winning.

that is not true. It is like that in the nba and nfl, but in baseball there is a 1 game playoff. Due to the already performed coinflip the game would be at Wrigley. I didn't believe you so I looked it up. You're right because the Cubs and Brewer have a lower winning percentage than the Wild Card winner. If both teams had a better record, I would have been right. Very interesting and fortunate for us.

I was under the impression that in a tie for the division, whoever wins the head-to-head is the division winner. A playoff game is only when the head-to-head is tied or for the wildcard. If that's true, which I'm 99% positive it is, and the Cubs have the better head-to-head record (which again I'm 99% sure), then the Brewers need to be one up.

LOL! And I love the avatar! Did you see But the Ticket, Take the Ride? I keep meaning to rent it.

Thank you for posting this! I remember I wanted to see when it came out. Totally forgot about it. Has anyone seen "The Bridge" (the doc about Golden Gate jumpers)? If so, what should I watch next: Friedmans or "The Bridge"?

What? Details!! ETA: Another movie you should add to your queue RyDogg66 is Spirited Away. Even though few view it as a sell-out, it's one of my favorite movies ever, and it most people I talk to aren't familiar with it.

This might be what they're talking about... Even though Kanye can be an arrogant @%@%, I like him, mostly since College Dropout is one of my favorite albums ever.

Best horror movie on the list. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Alright, I stole that joke. But that is a good list. I've seen a lot of them, some I wouldn't recommend, but you got me interested in renting the others. And I loved Jesus Camp. My only complaint is that it wasn't hours longer. And I don't see Pan's Labyrinth here! *hmph*

Here's an article that might explain her performance. But it's from the Post, so take it for what it's worth. http://www.nypost.com/seven/09112007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm Oh, and I love her. Mostly because I love to snark at gossip stuff. She has always been so trashy and fascinating to me. Kinda embarassing? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I was walking to lab with a friend of mine, and she got a message that said something like "someone flew into the towers." I rolled my eyes, and said to my friend something like "I can't believe they still land helicopters on the buildings in new york." My friend, who's from Queens, responded with "yea, right." My orthodonist was on the east side, and I always went past the MetLife building on my way there. My father once told me once when I was a kid that he saw someone fly a plane into it, like years ago. So I always thought about it when I past it and when my friend got the text message I thought about it again. It wasn't until we got to the lab that we heard what exactly happened and we were under attack. Obviously I felt awful and like everyone else was just shocked and scared. We left lab immeadiately and a bunch of us met in our dorm. I couldn't get a hold of anyone (including my Dad who worked in the city) until later that day. The eeriest was watching the tv, and seeing a good friend of mine from high school, hysterically crying, holding a picture of her father who worked inthe towers. One of my friends with us was trying to get in touch with her father who worked in the towers. Thankfully he survived, and she got to talk to him not soon after, hearing him out of breath, telling her how he was running down the stairs. I grew up five minutes from the beach, and used to see the towers. Even though it was a beach I only went to during the week in high school, it still had a great view of the skyline. It's still weird not seeing them sitting in the sand. My town had a large group that work at a business in the towers, all of them were lost. So there are plaques and every year something is done. It's all still so surreal. ETA: Since this is a baseball community..As a Yankee fan, that World Series was a hard one to lose and began my Schilling hatred. I've heard fans say that that was the worst series lost, since a lot of people looked towards the team after the 9/11 attacks. Personally I'm still scarred from 95, but I digress.
