Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope your days are filled with family, food and football.

Has anybody ever done one of these - either hosting in at your house or doing it at a place that does them? Was thinking about doing this with a group but I've never done one and not sure if they are any good and worth the time/cost. Any recommendations and schtick is welcome.

The other two threads were essentially masturbatory threads to slam the other side so thought why should the rest of us be left out? Someone made the claim in another thread that there's not really many independents and that most folks align with the majority of ideas/policies of one side or...

Some of the recent threads and discussion reminded me of something I've wondered about for a while.  When did the definitions of terms stop mattering? Fascist, Liberal, Marxist, Conservative, Socialist, etc...  All these words just get tossed around and used totally incorrectly by people.  I...

I was having a discussion with my 20 year old recently.  It was mostly me trying to convince him (or I should say reiterate as he's already convinced) to max out his 401k as much as possible.  It's not realistic that he hits the cap but he's doing pretty well for himself. Anyway, it got me...

I know we have a ton of Dads around here - I hope you all have a great Fathers Day with your families.

Was thinking about this the other day.  Please don't make this political - I put it in the FFA for a reason.  Everybody was impacted small and large by Covid and I'm just curious how things have changed for the folks here in the community.  Here's a list of things I've come up with: More remote...

I've mentioned on these forms before that when I do attend church I go to one of Andy Stanley's churches.  He was recently the chaplain of the day at the Georgia House of Representatives.  It's long (about 12.5 minutes of his speech - go to 2:08 to skip intro) but worth watching (IMO). Tl;dw...

My children have pulled me in to this inane debate so I spent 2 minutes thinking about it. There has to be more doors than wheels, right?  A lot of things I can think of that have wheels also have doors.  My car - 4 wheels, 4 doors.  My house on the other hand - like 100 doors (kitchen cabinet...

Might as well get the discussion going now.

***SEE 2ND POST FOR MOVIE LIST*** I’ve thought about starting a thread for old movies for a while now and I’m currently off my feet for several weeks after ankle surgery so now is a perfect time. I love old movies and with streaming services we have unparalleled access to just about any movie...

Tim made a post about immigration not being a top-3 issue that Americans care about.  No clue if that’s true but got me thinking that maybe that would make for a decent thread topic.  So, what 3 issues do YOU care about? I think my list would be: - Wealth Inequality - Climate - Healthcare...

Have any of you had one of these units installed in a car that didn't come with it originally?  Worth it?  I'm considering getting this for my wife's GMC Acadia for Xmas and was curious if anybody here had done this.

This thread is to discuss World Cup Qualifying from all the Regions - most the USMNT fans I think will be in the main thread and I didn't really want to spam the gameday thread or the main soccer thread. Here's an ESPN article on how qualifying works Will try to post other stuff here in the OP...

I've just noticed a lot of people on both sides of the aisle say something like - "let's just hope no (more) Americans die while we leave Afghanistan."  I totally agree with this sentiment but I would extend it to "let's just hope no more people die while we leave Afghanistan." It made me...

Offensive line coach Rick Dennison for the Vikings is let go after refusing to get the vaccine https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31869652/rick-dennison-minnesota-vikings-assistant-refusing-covid-19-vaccine-sources-say%3fplatform=amp I know this will turn political so...

I vote hammock - fight me.

Many of you are probably saying, "who?". bcdjr1 joined this forum back in 2015 after I had talked about it for years. I'm not sure what prompted Bruce to join to be honest and he wasn't a frequent poster. I knew Bruce for 20 years as a co-worker, eventually my direct report and somewhat...

Anybody have any insight on using an indoor TV to mount on an outdoor covered patio?  I plan to purchase a cover and living in Georgia our weather is relatively mild.  I think my biggest concern will be humidity.  Is this a bad idea?

I want to try and start some threads where we attempt to take partisanship out of the discussion (insert laughter here). Executive Orders are something that is supported by Article 2 but it's unclear exactly the power that Presidents have to execute these (or at least it's unclear to me).  I...
