    I proposed to my girlfriend this week and she said yes! We're looking to get married this September. I'm really excited and I wanted to share the good news!

    I love this Web site for this reason: Before I even clicked on this thread, I pretty much knew exactly what I would be reading. Thank you all.

    ESPN is saying a 1-year contract worth $8 million. Possible incentives could earn Johnson another $5 million. It's not a bad signing, and if he's pitching well, the Giants could even unload him at the deadline for something...maybe.

    I just purchased an engagement ring a week ago. I went to a private jeweler in town and they were able to knock off about 1/5 of the price for me. My price range had a ceiling of about $2000, and like JWill said, I bought just under a half-carat and it cost less. I'm hoping to upgrade the stone after a while when my budget is larger, and they said they will give me exactly what I paid for the stone toward a larger diamond. I also am having it appraised right away. Also, don't be afraid to ask if they can give you a better deal on the ring/stone. It doesn't hurt anything to ask and they might just say yes. The last thing I'm going to echo is trying to find out as much as you can about your girlfriend's tastes. I've been able to pick up things through subtle comments or questions, like her size, that I should use white gold and that she likes solitaires. The work was almost done for me.

    I got a couple of articles of clothing, but I had just one big present, a camera kit containing: A Canon 10.1 megapixel D-SLR 18-55 mm lens 75-300 mm telephoto lens Two tripods Memory card Battery and replacement battery 5 UV filters Cleaning kit Camera case I'm very, very, very excited.

    I graduated a week ago and I'm trying to find a job right now. My degree is in journalism and I've been applying and not hearing anything back. The first meeting I've been able to set up is in Madison, and that would be working in PR/media relations. It's kind of frustrating. I haven't heard anything back from anyone yet, so I'm feeling some of the pain that you're feeling.

    The last time I actually knew how hard I was throwing was about five years ago. At that time, my fastball hit 72...once. I'm guessing I'm somewhere in the 60s now. I can also throw a pretty nice change-up.

    It's started here. Coming down at a pretty good clip. I'm excited for thundersnow.

    I don't know if this seems to out of the box or even solves any problems, but here it goes... Salome is constantly compared to Pudge Rodriguez because of his position and frame. At one point, wasn't there talk of Pudge playing second to prolong his career? Is Salome athletic enough to do the same thing if it turns out he can't hack it at catcher. If he could, wouldn't his offensive potential make him valuable as a second baseman? If that were the case, LuCroy could stick at catcher, Gamel could slide in at first or RF, Lawrie could play third. That would leave Green as the odd man out, but one of Lawrie could probably also play in the outfield. I don't like the idea of constantly moving guys to new positions, but as long as we were playing around...

    I actually watched that part of that movie during one of my history classes.

    I'm reporting from the front lines of this storm... In Platteville, the temperature rose 10 degrees in the last hour or so, clouds are moving in and flakes are starting to fall.

    There is a small butcher's shop in Plain, Wis. called Straka Meats that has some of the leanest, most delicious bacon I've ever tasted. After eating it, I can't eat the bacon from grocery stores anymore. It's heaven in a grease trap.

    My girlfriend also thinks that Hardy is dreamy, but given the trade speculation, I would rule that out. I know when I bought my first player jersey, I debated for a long time. My options were Richie Sexson and Ben Sheets. I eventually decided that Sexson was likely to get traded and I knew that Sheets would probably be around for a long time. That turned out to be a wise choice, and it didn't become outdated (probably) until this offseason. That said, I would go with a Braun jersey with the only other competition being Gallardo. A Braun jersey should be good for a long time.

    lots of driving between there and Milwaukee and Madison, and Ontario, WI (switchback roads on hills, joy) Series, which way are you going to get to Ontario? If you're coming from Madison, are you going on 33 through Reedsburg and LaValle? Would it be easier driving to go from 14 to Richland Center then hit 80, 56 and 131? Once you get up in that area, it's kind of a crapshoot, but I know 80 and 56 aren't usually too horrible.

    Geez, that wind is horrible! It's 1 degree with a wind chill of -30 right now. There's a nice sheet of ice over just about everything.

    ESPN is reporting 7-years, $160 million...good lord that's obscene... Well, thanks CC! You were fantastic!

    What's more unpleasant than peeling frozen snot off your face?

    In the last 12 hours, I've scraped ice off of my car five times. Not fun at all. The snow is falling the hardest it has in Platteville so far. I don't know how long it's supposed to last, but the part I'm not looking forward to is the bitter cold and intense blowing snow afterward.

    I love me some Hardee's as well. Give the the Monster Thickburger any day! I'm not a huge fan of the roast beef there anymore. My older brother worked there during school, and he was able to bring home a square slab of the roast beef chunk food product and the thought has made me gag ever since. The others: Arby's Beef n' Cheddar Culver's Bacon ButterBurger Deluxe Taco Bell's Beef Supreme Chalupas KFC Snackers

    I really enjoyed this. I always liked Karl as a player. Not a worldbeater, but definitely a good pitcher who was nice to have on the staff. I was glad to learn more about him.

    1. NewsRadio - I think this is a very underrated show. I was really disappointed when it was taken off the air, but it did go downhill after Phil Hartman died 2. M*A*S*H - not necessarily a comedy, but it can be really funny 3. Scrubs - same here, one of my favorite shows, but not purely comedy 4. Barney Miller - Saw this on TV Land once, and I thought it was just great 5. Family Guy - I laugh constantly at this, but I find a lot of the older shows funnier 6. Night Court 7. WKRP in Cincinnati 8. Cheers 9. Everybody Loves Raymond 10. Becker I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, but I just cannot find Jerry Seinfeld funny. I seem to be the only person that doesn't like that show.

    Plus, I really dig the fact that he's been managing the US team the past several years, managing young players, journeyman and castoffs against a variety of international talent and overall style of play. I agree. This is the thing that I really found intriguing about Johnson. One of the complaints about Johnson and Valentine, is that they haven't been in the majors in a few years, but I don't think that matters. Johnson (who would be my favorite) hasn't been that removed from the game. He's still managing young players, and with a fairly young team, I think he would mesh pretty well with the Brewers. I don't think he's as out of the loop as some people think. Granted, it doesn't look like he's getting an interview...
  23. JumpinMacFlash
    I don't understand why you don't give Valentine an interview if he's shown interest. He's had success before as a manager too. I think that would be a narrow-minded and reckless decision by Melvin. What do you have to lose? What's the hurry?

    You have to be happy for the guy, because he totally deserves the chance. My mindset has been that Jack was going to leave at some point and I was confident that a competent replacement would be found. However, now that he's hired, all I can think of is Antone Williamson.

    For the first time this fall, I wore a hat and gloves to class. I loved wearing the gloves, so I didn't take them off all day, even in class. My hands were toasty warm. Is that weird?
