I think the only place(s) I've ever been where I truly wished I could stay and never return home were the very remote wilderness areas I backpacked into. Not very realistic, but a man can dream. While typing this I asked myself, "Self, if you had to live in one of the large cities of the world you have visited which would it be?". I couldn't answer myself. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
As did I when I visited long ago. However, she is a country girl at heart, raised on a farm. IOW... visits to large cities, as nice as they are, grow claustrophobic for us after even a short time. She's not there yet, :laughing , but she is thinking a return home on Thursday is long enough. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
My daughter and son-in-law return on Thursday. They are asking me about places within an hour, hour and half, drive of O'Hare that would make for a nice visit. She asked me about South Bend... see Notre Dame.... I have been there but long ago...1992. My impression of South Bend, at that time, was not good. Yes, the campus of Notre Dame itself is very nice but the area, to me, was not. Alby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
And yes, she said the deep dish pizza was VERY filling. She couldn't even finish a single slice. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

The game time forum, made me ache for the season to begin. I've had a little relief from the off season blues this year because with our new HS Football coach he's keeping his team active...trying to instill that 'winning culture'... so lots of 7 on 7 tournaments. No, not like real football but it helps kill the time. :laughing Mauie looks well... perhaps a little ticked that she's having tby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
They are headed to the Pier but first... some deep dish pizza. :laughing They are in the Little Italy district, or were, they have to move to another hotel tonight. My daughter is in awe of how 'clean' the city is... at least in her area it is. That's how I remembered it as well.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I relayed your tips to her this morning. They are just setting out for their daily activities.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
and isn't it tragic that we have to have 'safe zones' now? Last night in text my daughter said she asked her Taxi driver for suggestions on things to see and do in Chicago and he said the same thing as you... stay in the 'safe zones". I visited Chicago once, long ago. As you know I'm not fond of large cities but I certainly recognize they contain many entertaining and interesting siteby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I have seen none of those movies you mention. I believe, Iowa, that I know no one who has seen more movies than you have. :laughing Since Covid began.. 2 years ago? I have watched more movies in a 2 year period than any other 2 year period of my life. AND.. I enjoyed it. Well, movies and a few TV Series as well. As I have mentioned before, many times, during my active farming years I jby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Those two guys, IMHO, are remarkably talented QB's that teams are blessed to have on their rosters. That they haven't won a SB and won't is probably... no make that precisely, the dumbest argument I can imagine. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I do not, for the most part, believe in 'injury prone'. Granted that with some injuries it makes it so... I accept that, believe that - how can one not? It's fact. But for the general "he got hurt and he will again" stuff... .no.. I think that's BS.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I only saw that one episode. A TV show watching curmudgeon, (I have seen literally nothing of all these series compared to you guys)... I am 'regretting' that a little these days... after finding and binging both Longmire and Bosch.. which I loved, (although I'm tepid about the new Bosch series). I have NO DOUBT that some of these shows ALL of you have seen are VERY good and I just missed oby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
and I mean that sincerely... but it leaves me completely flat OTHER THAN... when I watch with my grandson's who like them... they don't actually LOVe them preferring almost all other sci-fi series BUT.. they do like them. But don't go by me, (not that you would :laughing ), I'm burned out on pretty much all super hero movies.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Any suggestions on "Must Do's" while there? My daughter is there right now. They're going to Wrigley, (that's a given), and trying Chicago Pizza... maybe seeing the Biograph Theater where Dillinger was killed but other than that they are asking for advice. And since I know you'll ask... no pre-trip research was possible because this trip was a job related LAST SECOND visit. She isby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
First the obvious... gotta win the first to have a chance at a dynasty.... done deal. Exactly what you say - knowing how to win the close ones... done deal. Not being pillaged, (losing a lot of key players), I would say... done deal. Getting better. That's the key. I cannot see the Rams, or any other team that's ever existed, pulling out the consecutive number of squeakers the way thby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

that's the name of an actual minor league baseball team here in Calif. NOW - picture 2 12yr old boys, (my grandson and his best friend), going to a game where the Modesto Nuts are playing and what their reaction might be once they learn that fact. Tell you what... instead - picture any normal immature adult male going to a baseball game and finding out the team is called "The Nuts&by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I watched one episode.. it was like the 3rd or 4th episode of the 1st season. I liked it but I'm not into it.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Makes perfect sense to me. I think what swung me to Obi Wan, (the main reason), it felt the most like "Star Wars".by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

I liked the Mandalorian a LOT. I liked Boba Fett but not as much. As for Obi-Wan.. I think it's the best of the three. All subjective, of course, and I can understand others differing from my opinion. As for the character Reva in the series Obi-Wan.. IMHO I think this is the best character introduced since the original series. I also think the actress is fantastic - Moses Ingram. Tby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
And I fully believe this... There are 'animal people'. By that I mean.. people that animals just gravitate towards with love and affection... MORE so than just the 'typical' fondness for people that most animals show for humans. Animals flock to him, more than anyone else in my family. I mentioned this some time back about a cat we had that acted more like a dog in attaching herself to Aby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

Happens a few times every year. I will never understand how a person can be that callous and unfeeling - to just toss their dogs out of the car and drive off.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I have never been allergic to anything so I have no idea what an allergic reaction is, or how it feels. But I really doubt it.. this was, well... like I said I never took psychedelics so I can't say what those are like.. but this was like I always 'imagined' they would be. I wasn't hallucinating, but things were distorted. Mostly it was my mind racing at a zillion miles an hour... and thoughtsby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

It's in the 'gummy' line of products, although this was a vape pen. I got it online. As I mentioned.. I did very poor research thinking it was like the other products in this line... CBC oil kind of stuff, or is it CBD? NON high inducing, or so I thought. POST research I found that it does say it can get you high but it's supposed to be a mild high. It wasn't, it was killer.
