I know there’s a lot to be bummed about, but these guys have been good. Chapmans lights out. Gray is good. Bello has had two great games in his new role.
I mean look they’re not making the playoffs this year. But unlike the early goings there are at least some players that are fun to watch.
First photo is 2023 when I was around my highest ever 204. Second is this morning. Stopped snacking after dinner, no baked goods for treats every day, and drinking less.
Still obese. My doctor reminded me how I was once a svelte 175. So I’ve got a ways to go. But trying not to crash out or be drastic because then I’ll just regain it back. I want to get back to healthier habits so I can keep them.
I’m in my forties so I remember the 90s even but I don’t have any sense of what it was like to be a fan in the 70s and 80s. My dad is a big basketball and baseball guy so that’s what he passed on to me. We never had the first clue what the Pats were up to.
But I was reading Friends of Eddie Coyle which takes place In The 60s and 70s in Boston and there’s a scene where two characters discuss the Patriots. That stood out to me and I wanted to put the question out there and hear some anecdotes about the Patriots of the 70s and 80s.
Thanks!
Edit: thanks for these great anecdotes and memories! Really cool to hear!
So I'm pretty sure I watched this on the Criterion Channel, as it was part of one of their themed compilations. I cannot for the life of me remember the name, but here's what I do remember.
- British
- The lead actor was very tall and overweight.
- It opens on him returning home late at night
- At his house he's greeted by a woman, but also some inspectors who grill him about where he was
- The woman finds something in his coat pocket that leads her to believe he may be guilty
- I looked up the actor (also can't remember his name) and saw he died young, and read more about him. The thing that stood out about him was he was closeted, and before he died someone said they overheard his boyfriend call him a fatso or something
- he died on the operating table in his 30s or 40s
Any luck?
When I started rooting for the Knicks in like 04 I would never have thought they would have even made it this far, this many years in a row. Just enjoying the moment for now.
made a small purchase of a Roman Anthony. Arrived on time and well packaged!
Hey I’m hoping someone is willing to part with a few.
This user offered to sell me 12 Matthew Stafford chrome base buybacks. I paid him $130, and he gave me a tracking number, but the tracking number didn't work. Things started to sound strange (this started last Tuesday, April 28) when he then claimed he included some more expensive cards which he hadn't coined at all, and would I pay him more for those. I said no, and repeated that the tracking number he sent me didn't work AND additionally the name on the paypal account didn't match the return address of the shipping. He claimed it was his roommate who had a printer and he didn't. I stayed civil with him and asked him to check with the post office where he's dropped it. He kept saying he would, but never did. Today I reached my breaking point because it's been nearly a week. I'll include our correspondence in comments.
When I put in a paypal dispute I received a message from the account I was told to send money to, claiming "I didn't sell anything! Someone on reddit asked me to use my paypal account, and that he'd send me money on cashapp". I have no reason to believe this is even true.
I'm continuing to pursue getting my money back.
Hi!
I love a martini but I recently discovered I have an allergy to linalool which is a terpene… I see your eyes glazing over. Basically it’s an extract of lavender or other very scent forward flowers that gets added to some vermouth and gin for that matter too.
I discovered this when I made a homemade martini and my entire mouth felt tingly and itchy. So badly in fact that I bit my lip in my sleep!
Is it hopeless? Since gin and vermouth both use botanicals would they all necessarily have these types of terpenes? Or could there be some
Brands that don’t use them? And if so is there an easy way to figure that out?
I realize this is a hyper specific question but hoping to find an answer.
