Just got done listening to Dolly Parton's new rock album and I have to say, it lives up to my expectations. It's over an hour and a half of music - 30 songs that she doesn't chintz out on. She doesn't re-arrange a ton, instead putting her stamp on some very recognizable hits while very clearly...

Saw the two hour preview of this series at my local Cinemark tonight. If the first two episodes are any indication, this series is going to be a home run. It manages to be fresh and new despite feeling like a part of Peter Jackson's LotR world. Sepinwall has a great review that hits all the...

Hello fellow fbg's. I am shooting the lock off the ol' wallet and getting my striplings (and ok myself) an XBox One X for Christmas. We're going to set it up on the big 4K tv we picked up last Black Friday. I need game suggestions and was hoping you could help me out. I'm looking for good...

My first born is being ready to head off to college (out of state :'( ). She has a Lenovo laptop that is fast and strong but heavy. We are going to hand it down to her brother because she'd like to replace it with something much more portable (4lbs or lighter . Although I am a fbg, she is not...

I think I want a smart pen.  Something like this Rocketbook Wave Smart Notebook (it erases in the microwave!), or like this Equil Smartpen 2 (use on any paper!), or like this Live Scribe Echo Smartpen (complete with audio recording!).  Does anyone have any experience with these things? I am no...

Sent my son to bed last night without dinner.  He flipped out and acted like I did something so horrible that I should never be allowed to parent again. When I explained that it was a perfectly acceptable disciplinary method to withhold a single meal, he was shocked.  He doesn't believe me. Am...

I keep hearing Hillary talk about how we don't want someone as unstable as Trump with his hand on the button. But really, do we want anyone to have the absolute and unilateral power to destroy civilization as we know it on a whim?  Isn't that to much power for one person to hold alone?  Isn't...

Coming off of the Fortnight for Freedom, this week's violence has brought into focus the crisis of unity our country faces.  I believe this is a spiritual - not a political - crisis, which above all requires a spiritual - not a political - solution.  For the Christian, job one is recognizing the...

Where did my topic go? This is not conducive to message boarding :sadbanana: I will now once again submit the first topic in the FFA.  Look on me and despair, members browsing this forum!

I just started the first and only topic in the FFA. Join me, fellow magic football enthusiasts, in commiserating about topics unrelated to magic football!

Hi fbg's. Anyone know of a decent way to map out a driving route with a way to see if there are road closure issues due to the flooding? More specifically, we're planning to drive from Chicago to Memphis tomorrow, then Memphis to Dallas on Sunday. Anyone know of road closure issues along that...

Did I just see a KFC commercial starring Norm MacDonald as Colonel Sanders, saying he is the "real Colonel? " Were they planning this all along?

My wife has a couple of tupperware bowls whose lids have cracked. She bought this stuff when we were first married and explained that while they are more expensive than the rival containers, it's worth it because they are "guaranteed for life". Now she tells me that it costs like $20 (plus...

Starting a thread to share prayer and worship to the Holy Trinity. Please keep this thread respectful and feel free to post prayers of your own as the Spirit inspires you. If you are of a different faith, please feel free to stop by to read or pass over this thread if it holds no meaning to...

So I got hit by the Cryptovirus. Luckily, I back up anything I really need, so there will be no ransom payment from me. My problem is that I got hit by the virus a long time before I realized it, so there are plenty of directories with combinations of encrypted and non-encrypted files. I ran...

Last night I found out that my wife's great grandmother was 50% Cherokee, which makes my kids at least 3.125% Cherokee. Anyone know what kinds of free stuff/benefits/scholarships my kids are entitled to/can apply for with this pedigree? I'm looking for 4 years of free college tuition, a...

In light your recent gregariousness displayed in relation to the confessions thread, I propose that the time is ripe to try something bolder, more audacious. Let's face it, your little forum is growing up. And l think you'll agree that it's time to see what the board members do with a little...

So, about "weakness": WEAKNESS infirmity (30 votes [28.57%]) Percentage of vote: 28.57% decreptitude (27 votes [25.71%]) Percentage of vote: 25.71% debility (48 votes [45.71%]) As you can see, I went with "infirmity". Why? Well, decrepitude is some state of decay. Since decay and weakness...

My company is relocating me to the north Dallas area, and I'm looking at houses in Frisco/Plano or perhaps closer to the airport. I was born and raised in Chicagoland, and this is going to be a major change for myself and my family. I already know that there is one (ONE) Italian grocery/deli...

Dear Sony, Please please give Spider Man back to Marvel so they can do him right and not make insulting, eye candy, money grabbing bastardizations of my favorite childhood super hero.
